Café Amalfi

"I know there are may circumstances that effect anyone's experience , and that just about any dining experience there is always something that isn't perfect- that is life as we know it. However when each thing that isn't right or isn't necessarily small and or the amount things add up to more than just one or two or three its time for a walk out. First thing we got there early and checked at the hostess to which was not friendly at all, even looked like she wasn't feeling well , we got a drink at the bar to which the bartender was coughing the entire time while making my drink , at least i was thinking the bourbon would kill anything that could contaminate the drink. We were sitting in the bar area lounge and waiting and freezing we kept our coats and hats on , after asking about the heat they indicated it the heat was on but we felt noooo heat. at 5pm promptly we were seated by the window for the great ocean view .. yes we were still very cold and asked again about the heat with no avail even watching the staff warm their hands under the food warming lights I was very tempted to join them as the warming lights looked very inviting. The waiter was nice but his cologne was so powerful the smell encompassed our table and lingered so that our food and items at the table smelled and tasted of cologne, i can still smell it a day later.. ugh .. headache is coming. yes we are still very cold not heat We got the hot soup to warm us up but it was only hot in certain portions of the bowl not all was hot prob the typical microwave inconsistencies. We took a few minutes to order and make up our mind but had to flag him down to finally order the entree's when it came to exactly 6PM after exactly one hour of being seated freezing with cologne and no entree's yet it was time to pack it in go home take some ibuprofen eat some hot oatmeal and go to bed its a shame our date day / night turned out this way we really wanted to try a new place its also a shame that we have become so casual for these staffers to dress in jeans and sweats and could care less about being professional courteous friendly helpful classy ."

"I'm not fond of Italian food and frankly cannot do justice to the food based on my taste that's why I am giving it a four star though based on my liking I wanted to give it three. The service was good for the busy hour that we visited and the atmosphere was nice."

"Excellent service from staff. The view was great! This breakfast skillet was Amazing!"

"The Seawatch plantation has no restaurant for dinner, so we decided to try Cafe Amalfi at the Hilton. Perhaps the best dining experience our party ever had. The appetizers and dinners were as described on the menu, with a Double Chocolate cake enough for four. Our waiter was the most pleasant man and really enhanced our dining. Will be returning and highly recommend. Thank You !!!"

"My wife and I had a wonderful night out for an early Valentine’s Day dinner. Ordered the 14oz sirloin, shrimp and grits, seafood chowder, chocolate cake and strawberry cheesecake. All were delicious, but what really made the evening was our server George. He’s been serving at Cafe Amalfi for over 29 years and his service is top notch. So thank you George for great food, fun and even greater service!"
