    My friend and I had a lovely dinner last night. Waiter was great, gave us time to chat before ordering and came around a few times to make sure everything was good. Food was hit, well presented and delicious. We will definitely return.

    We have eaten at Cafe Amore many times, and this time I tried their Asparagus, Blue cheese, and Pear Salad. Oh my, it has to be my favorite salad of all time! The sweet citrus infused balsamic dressing is soooo good! It is a big salad, so we just shared chicken wings as my side... they are also the best!!! Go there, try something new from the menu...it was so delicicious!

    Excellent meal and didn’t break the bank to get it. You can’t go wrong dining here. The pizza oven was broken so there was no pizza, but we will be back and try it then!

    We made reservations for 6:15 but we were seated closer to 6:45 which left us disappointed and hungry. We were celebrating our friends birthday but she was not offered anything. We saw other tables receiving desserts with candles? Other than those issues, the restaurant was good. The food was delicious with several options.

    I found the ambiance was not as expected. I liked the old location more personable. You really need to get the carmal crunch cake
