| - Unique atmosphere, great service and fantastic food.
Most other restaurants with small, seasonal menus like Amuse's tend to fill their menu with pretentious food that would limit my options even further, but not here. The options all sound delicious and relatively speaking, are reasonably priced. For comparison, a strip-loin at Milestones is $28, I ordered one at Amuse for $30, and that was the most expensive item on the menu. Was it worth the extra $2? Well, I can tell you I don't think I can ever warrant spending $28 on a steak at Milestones again. It was fresh, melt in your mouth, and perfectly cooked.
I also appreciate the minimal amount of bread left on the table before the mains arrived. Just a couple of slices of fresh, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside bread was enough to tide me over without leaving me stuffed for the main course. And it wasn't about Amuse being stingy; the server was quick to ask if we wanted more. But I simply don't have the self control to stop eating the vast amount of bread put on the table by other places and often leave my entree half finished. What a waste!
It's also a nice way of pointing out that the food will be quick enough to get to your table that more bread would be unnecessary anyways.
Will be back for certain, but I would still probably call ahead for reservations again. They only have a few tables so I can imagine they fill up quickly.
