We went somewhere else because they only served in lobby. Dining room closed. They need to tell you that when you call as I did.

My friends and I wanted to have a nice affordable lunch in an elegant atmosphere. We were thrilled Amuse was not crowded and that we could actually hear each other. Our lunch was delicious,and we all had different things...so everyone was satisfied.My Cobb salad was the best one of its kind I've had ever. Our waiter was delightful. and so we had a really terrific experience at Amuse and will definitely go back again!

A very pleasant room, high-ceilinged and bright. Quiet when there are few people there; probably noisy when crowded, because all surfaces are hard. The menu is varied; the food was well prepared and arrived fairly quickly. Service was somewhat brusque but was efficient.

Great place to have a conversation. Great service - waiters were super easy going about bringing more bread etc. The buratta with pumpkin puree was excellent. So was the creme brulee.

The restaurant was closed even though we had a confirmed reservation and we were asked to sit in the hotel lobby near the bar to have brunch. It was weird eating while people in outdoor clothes were going around with their luggage

Apparently we were there off season and the dining room wasn't open. Food was good, service was great (thanks Liza) but we had to sit in the bar area. I would go back again.

We arrived and the restaurant was locked. We were unable to dine there, even though we had made the reservation and it was confirmed. Very disappointing.
