There is no reason to make a table wait 10 to 15 minutes to get their drinks when the bar is 50 feet from the table and we can clearly see there are 3-4 people behind the bar not doing anything. The food is not made upon ordering. I tried to order the penne vodka without the bacon in the sauce. I was told that "that's the way it comes." So it was pretty clear that the cook is not making any sauce when you order it. (This isn't a red sauce that takes hours.) The pasta is from a box so the prices that they charge for it are not justified. Overly loud Spanish love ballad music was playing at 5 PM in this nearly empty restaurant. Between that and the gigantic white feather decorations just over my partner's head I would say the vibes were off. My partner had seen this restaurant while walking around and thought it could be a good place to try out. He was pretty upset that the restaurant was so meh and that he took me there for my birthday. Bad music. Bad decor. Bad service. Mediocre food.

When it comes to steaks, I rarely eat out because I have a paranoia of being let down. I always buy my meat from a butcher and cook them beautifully on a charcoal (yes, if you cook on propane it's not actually grilling - poser) grill. This trip to Amelias reinforced why I shouldn't stray from handling good meat myself. The place itself is cool, my grandmother was very impressed which is honestly all that matters. Of course she was enamored by the bread options and the whipped butter with olive oil was honestly a nice touch. I ordered a bottle of pellegrino and was surprised the waitress never topped me off (get your mind out of the gutter). Whatever, I had to serve my own drink but at a place of that caliber you'd think the wait staff would understand that when a bottle of any sort is purchased they should be asking the diners if they'd like a refill. We ordered the tuna tartare and my grandmother had never even heard of such a dish before. She enjoyed a bite and then I inhaled the rest - yes I am fat and hungry NOT SORRY. We ordered our steaks and I got excited too soon. I can't help but shake my head, I NEVER get steaks out any more because even at steak houses I am most often let down. I am not trying to sound cheap but at $68 a steak I am expecting a melt in your mouth masterpiece (that's what they used to call me back in the day) and honestly the meat we got was a MAJOR let down. Steak alone has it's flavor and this piece was lacking. They overcooked it and it was genuinely tough even with the LITTLE pink they allowed me to enjoy. I was really heartbroken but the only reconciliation for this was that my aged grandmother was ecstatic and this meal wasn't for me, it was an attempt to treat my grandmother to what could be one of her last few really special meals. For her it was and that's the only reason I'm not giving this place two stars.

Bad service leaves a bad taste in your mouth. We ordered a regular cheese pizza over the phone for pick up. Nothing complicated. When we opened the box at home we saw the mistake immediately. They put raw onions on my 4 yr old's cheese pizza. My 4 yr old son was hungry and not happy. We called immediately and the staff was rude, and had attitude. They wanted us to bring back the pizza and they would replace it with a regular cheese pizza. No apology for the inconvenience. They do not know anything about customer service. Now they refuse to take our business because we complained about an order that was wrong. The cheap prices reflect the type of service you should expect to get. Go some where else. It is worth paying a little more somewhere else for better food and good service. My son is happy that we go elsewhere now. No more raw onions on his cheese pizza. read more

If you look at their online order website picture of their House Special pizza filled with toppings and green peppers and onions and compare it to what you actually get, the difference is striking! It's not even 1/3 full with ingredients. Our friends, family, and I have noticed that toppings have been less and less each time we get their House Special pizza that we might as well just get a regular pizza for a lower price and then buy the toppings of green peppers and onions, etc ourselves since they've been skimping on the toppings. Our latest pizza showed decreased toppings for a $28+ large House Special. Either BHOP changes the picture on their website, since that is an inaccurate and misleading depiction of the House Special pizza you're going to get, or they can start putting more toppings that at least comes close to the website picture of what a House Special pizza should be. The said, the thing is they used to give adequate toppings, but lately been skimping on toppings. The rest of their other food is good, but just highly disappointed in the lack of toppings of their House Special pizza as you can see from the picture. Compare it to the other House Special pizza pictures that were posted on yelp before and their website, and you'll see the stark difference!
