. . "4"^^ . . "I became a fan of Amelie's after my friend Charles, from Bordeaux, France introduced me. I've gotten to know Bill Lamb, one of the owners, and have visited Cafe des Deux Moulin's, where the film Amelie was filmed in Paris. So, this new place was a little challenging to accept when she first opened. \n\nShe reminds of the NoDa original but now she's all grown up. The Myers Park location is in the Back Lot of Park Road Shopping Center. Lexus, Mercedes, and Land Rover grace the lot instead of working vans, VW's, and transients. The place teams with kids and dogs on the weekends. It is very nice, but somehow not the same.\n\nIt was like when I fell in love with this cute girl in high school who would skip school with me, skied with me in Vermont, and wore halter tops and very short cut-offs in the summer. Now, she returns after graduating from college with her master's degree. She's the same girl underneath, but no longer a child: refined, elegant, and confident--like a bottle of wine from Bordeaux. And she's here to stay, serving rich pastries, deep coffee, and flavorful soups and sandwiches--just like NoDa--but with her delicate touch of maturity. \n\nSo, why only 4 stars? I'm still in love with my high school sweetheart--she's a 5 in my book! Bon appetit, Amelie!"^^ . "2"^^ . "2017-09-18T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ . "3"^^ .
