The food was good but it wasn’t as good as the prices suggest. Setting was nice and our waitress was great. They are super attentive to your dining experience. We were given a wonderful dessert of crème brûlée for our anniversary.

Another excellent experience at Amore. The service was impeccable, as it always is. The food was excellent — Caesar Salad with Anchovies, Wedge Salad, and Veal Piccata. And, the Creme Brûlée was especially good. I don’t usually order Creme Brûlée, but the Amore version is special — deeper custard than I usually experience elsewhere, and the sugar top is paper-thin and lightly crackly. Really a very good dessert. Finally, thanks to Paul for a great evening with friends. He and the other staff were especially patient and accommodating as we outstayed all other guests. If you live in the Greystone/Oak Mountain area, you should definitely support this fantastic community business. Merry Christmas y’all!
