    Moules Frites
    Sonali P.

    Amelie is a cute French spot in the west village. We went for brunch and ordered mussels, and a steak frites. The food was good, not life changing, but I enjoyed my mussels. The service was quick and they have lots of deals running for happy hour. I ordered a cocktail, but I think the wine my friend ordered was better. Wine is their strong suit and they have flights on their brunch menu. Overall, it was a cute spot.

    This is one of my favorite places to casually drop in because of the atmosphere. It is very lively and the real candle lights create a great vibe at night. I've been to the upper west side location and I'd suggest that one for more of an intimate and romantic ambiance. I'd always suggest making a reservation since they do get pretty busy, but they've always had some availability when I've come here in a party under 4 people. The food here is really good and they have a great daily happy hour. Some of my favorite things here are the wine flights, mussels, escargot and burger. The wine flights are a great way to try multiple different wines. The white wine sauce for the mussels and the garlic/parsley butter and puff pastry on the escargot are also very good. I do love that many of the dishes like the mussels, goat cheese, and chicken liver mouse come with a good amount of bread. Their chicken liver mouse is very smooth and a generous helping. It comes with additional things on the side that really complete the dish. The burger is cooked exactly the way you like it and the fries are perfect and crisp. The Russian hill cocktail was surprisingly really sweet. The service is usually very attentive. They do get really busy and can vary depending on where you sit. But the food and drinks always come in a timely manner. I've been to their upper west side location and also had a really good experience there. I'd suggest that one for a more intimate and romantic experience.

    I loved it here so much the first time, I had to bring another friend. We sat outside and ordered: - happy hour burger + glass of wine ($21): this was a really solid burger. Fries were thin and so easy to snack on. - happy hour flight of wine: I forgot which ones I got but they were great! Service was great! Everyone was attentive without hovering. I'll definitely keep taking my friends here.

    I LOVED my experience here. The waiters were kind and thoughtful, the wine was delicious, and the food was amazing and well coursed out. We had the burger, steak frites, and chicken liver mousse. It's always a win when you're delivered a bag of bread. The lighting is dim, but perfect for a cozy night in. Highly recommend!

    We stumbled upon this charming bistro after watching a show nearby. I was in the mood for some food while my dining party wanted some drinks and snacks, and this turned out to be the perfect spot for us. The duck breast was to die for; it was tender and flavorful, and the sweet summer corn was a nice touch. The chicken liver mousse was smooth and tasty, even for someone that isn't a big fan of chicken liver. The evening concluded with getting to know the owner, Olivier, and us walking away with one of the best French meals we had in the city!

    Really liked the ambiance. The burger was so so good. The crust was perfect and the burger was a perfect medium rare. Service was good and I liked the wine. Would definitely recommend

    Dimly lit restaurant with a good vibe for drinking and catching up with friends or a date. I was looking forward to charcuterie and wine since this came up as a place that had both. Looking around, most customers just had a glass of wine and no food. i dont like wine much but my partner does and said it was just ok. Peaches get Stitches - on the strong side. it was also just ok. 2.5/5 Tete de moine - You definitely need to take this in the small slices which is kinda fun to peel off the flowerlike shape. took a big chunk at first and it was really bad. after doing the petals, it's kinda nutty and strong but goes well with the bread and meat. I prob wouldnt get it again but was not bad. 2/5 Jamon Serano - on the dry and harder side. not that good. 2/5 Chorizo 100% Iberico - much softer and slight spice. not bad. 2.5/5

    Dessert: Strawberry flambe' with pistachio ice cream. You didn't really taste the pistachio in the ice cream. If felt like it had no flavor

    Their Summer Restaurant week 3 course dinner menu runs until Sept. 9th! Music was at a good level and it wasn't super noisy. The service was EXCELLENT and the food was delicious! Not pictured is my Ginger Spritz mocktail which was just the way I like it...SUPER gingery! The ginger chew at the end made the cocktail perfect. With or without the restaurant week menu, we will be coming back here!

    Yes they do. If it's super busy or they have a lot of reservations you'll probably be seated at the bar.

    Is it ok for kids? Thinking of going with a 13 year old.

    It's a very dim, intimate wine bar. I wouldn't recommend it for kids unless they are very grown up for their age.

    What's the usual price for a meal here?

    I would say $40-$60 per person, even less if you don't order alcohol. It's worth it.

    Is it casual dress for dinner? Would jeans be ok?

    Yes, jeans would be ok.

    Noise levels at Amelie?

    Fairly noisy. It's got a young crowd and lots of celebrations are happening too (at least when I went). Folks know how to have a good time haha

    I read lots of good thing about Amelie Wine Bar, If I have to choose one meal between Amelie vs Misirizzi Italian, which one? I know they are different, just want to see anyone who may know a thing to two.…

    Not Amelie anyway, just back and was wholley disappointed. Food completely average, steak and fries overcooked and cold and the trout drenched in oil. Can't understand their decent rating.

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

Service was good. We had the fried chicken Benedict and the crab cake Benedict. I was a bit confused when I saw that each Benedict dish only had one poached egg - shouldn't it always be two? I guess that's shrinkflation (plus inflation) for you. That bent said, the crab cake was actually really big and filling. The side of potatoes were really delicious. Would I come back for brunch again? Very unlikely. But, it does seem like a pretty "safe choice" if you need a last minute reservation for a group.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.
