    My duck breast was wonderfully prepared as was my partner's rabbit. The one think lacking was a piece of bread to sop up every last bit of the savory sauces, but alas none was served to us. Other tables had it, so I think it was simply an oversight on a busy night. We didn't have the opportunity to flag down our waitress to ask for some as we had a performance to get to.

    Amilinda is my go-to place when I need great food in a cozy and comfy setting. Chef Leon is a wonderful host who takes time to check in with guests throughout the night. His staff excels at being gracious and helpful, without being intrusive. The menu changes regularly, which is great because I don't want to keep having the same thing over and over - no matter how good it is. And there is always a vegetarian option in the main course line up, which I appreciate. One word of advice: save room for dessert.

    What a fabulous evening with Chef Mary Kastman. The Quail was my favorite dish, and the Kumquat dessert was Devine. We also enjoyed the excellent suggestions of wine pairings. Looking forward to her new space, opening next spring.
