Amelia's Wood Fired Cuisine

Visually beautiful restaurant with Spanish inspired details. Sitting close to the kitchen is fun research to find out what you want to order. Food is Southern American fused with Spanish and Italian techniques and ingredients. Fried green tomatoes are a pass, the corn soup was delicious, the fish was acceptable although the presentation was not visually appealing (like VeggieTales exploded on my plate). American cuisine has no story or memory only mentors and inspirations.

I had the fried green tomatoes with the rock shrimp which came with a reddish sauce. This dish was average tasting, nothing special. The shrimp was a little over cooked. I have had much better shrimp and fried green tomatoes. I also had the house made ravioli stuffed with lamb with what is described as an artichoke cream. If you like lamb, do not get this. The artichoke cream sauce tasted like lemon, very strong lemon flavor so I could barely taste the lamb, only lemon. When I could taste the lamb, for my taste buds, this strong lemon flavor did not pair well with the minced lamb filling of the raviolis. Also, beware of the mandatory kitchen service fee listed at the bottom of the menu that will automatically be added to your ticket. You have to pay it even if you do not like the food. For the price of the food, I expect a better taste experience. I paid $36 for eating lemon. The $13 for the shrimp and fried green tomatoes would have been acceptable if better quality. For a gr

Service and Atmosphere is great, but the food is just okay, especially considering the price point. However, my wife did enjoy the scallops.
