| - I never watched an episode of Restaurant Nightmares until my friends told me about the episode featuring Amy's Baking Co., and I was instantly intrigued. As soon as I was in town, we made our way there to check it out.
The restaurant itself is nice and clean, decorations are nice and everything on the interior looks great. We went on a Saturday at 7 pm and wasn't very busy (there was another table doing dinner, and one doing desserts). The service was good, although a bit excessive. It was almost like they were anticipating that we wouldn't enjoy the experience, so they overcompensate and all our interactions had a sort of sense of uneasiness. Samy was very friendly and nice to us. We didn't interact with Amy, but another table asked to take a picture with her, and she seemed happy to come out of the kitchen to do it.
Our server asked us what our nationality was. We're US citizens....it was a somewhat awkward question to ask, and she just wanted to find out if we were Chinese so she could show off her saying "I love you" in Mandarin...
We ordered the meatballs, the caprese salad, flatbread, and 2 pizzas. Everything was generally up to standard. The pizzas are thin crust, and were crispy. I really enjoyed the Fig & Prosciutto Pizza, it was amazing. We also had the asparagus pizza, which was good, but was a little bit salty for my taste. The flatbread is pretty much a pizza crust with some seasonings and herbs.
For dessert, we ordered chocolate mousse and something else, it was like a chocolate pie with toffee and edible glitter on top. They were really delicious and rich.
The food and the restaurant are fine, but I think the price point is a little high for the food.
