"2010-11-01T00:00:00"^^ . "So I went to Amp 150 very wary about the \"eating in a lobby\" situation. Turns out that I had nothing to worry about! Had a great experience.\n\nIt started with wonderful service from our server. You could tell she was excited about the farm to table concept.\n\nWe started out with some cocktails. The strawberry basil martini and the carmel apple martini were delectable. My fiancee was very impressed with the beer list that even includes the hard to find German smoked beer Aecht Schlenkerla (although $10 IS a bit pricey for a beer even if it is a big one!)\n\nThe mussels were very tasty and came in a huge portion. My only complaint would be that their homemade Chinese sausage was barely like Chinese sausage at all. Don't get me wrong, it was good, just not similar to Chinese sausage.\n\nWe tried both a pumpkin panzanella (scrumptious!) and the chopped salad. Both portions were again huge!\n\nI can't remember all the small bites we tried, but they were all tasty. The cod came with a great sauce (certainly not healthy!) - the edamame falafel was nice and crispy on the outside and tasty on the inside - the scallops were perfectly cooked.\n\nThe person that ordered the braised lamb was a little surprised at the amount of fat on the piece of meat, but I believe that's mandatory to achieve tenderness. The meal was also huge as it contained two good sized cuts of meat.\n\nCan't complain about desert either. The baked apple provided just the touch of fall I needed. My friends loved the panna cotta, although I wasn't too sure about it. Personal palate issue I guess. :)\n\nAnd really, by the end of the evening, I had no idea that I was sitting in the Marriott lobby. Who cares with all that good food to try!!"^^ . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ .
