| - After a year or so, I'm bummed to report that my experience(s) at the uptown Amelie's have been largely disappointing. My most recent three visits were so dismal that I've decided I likely won't continue spending money at this location.
A few things that swayed my opinion: rude staff, multiple incorrect orders, suspiciously long wait times, all out anarchy at the cashier lines and seemingly no interest in helping from the staff, declining quality of food, and, all this considered, overly priced products.
I wish I could pin point the difference here and figure out a way to deal with it. This location is ideal in that it's walking distance from my home and office. I'm willing to admit that I might have a higher # of bad visits simply because I go here a lot (something about percentages, and ratios, and odds, and blah-blah-blah).
In any case, I still support the Amelie's brand. I've visited the other locations and it seems the problems are isolated to this one. The one bright spot to this location, as of late, is the bar staff -- they've been great the few times I've sat at the bar and they have a nice selection of wine and bubbly stuff. The baristas making the coffee bevs are usually great, as well.
According to Yelp, 2 stars is the same as saying "Meh. I've experienced better." and that is a perfect way to describe it. Namely, the better experience was at the Uptown location roughly this time last year and/or the NoDa location present day. :\
