We drove in to Milwaukee and were ready for a good dinner after 5+ hours on the road. Even being a few minutes late after our drive, we still waited 20 mins to be seated. Staff seemed short a person and very discombobulated. It took 30 minutes to receive our first drinks, 45 minutes until we were able to order. As we were ordering, now close to 8:45pm from what was supposed to be a 7:30 seating, we were told 4 of the 6 entrees were sold out, which seems like incredibly poor planning for a busy restaurant on a Friday night. We declined entrees as we don’t prefer the only two things that were left beef tongue or halibut. Hungry and not knowing what to do as we were surprised by the no entrees after waiting so long, we told them to bring the starters and tried figure out where else we could go to eat. After some scrambling the staff found a couple extra portions of short ribs, which was not what we had planned to order but we appreciated the effort and both ordered them.our starters arrived and the romaine and tuna salads were mediocre, particularly the romaine was extremely bitter without any balance and the tuna seemed out of a can. Our waitress was checked out and spent more time looking anxious and fiddling around behind the bar than checking in on guests. We both would have ordered a glass of wine with starters but she was nowhere to be found to put in the order. Once we did put in for a glass of red and a beer, it took an extraordinary amount of time to pour one glass of wine and b ring over a can of beer with a glass. The short ribs were extremely difficult to eat. They were an extremely large portion of bland meat and the sauce was too scarce to add flavor to this lacking dish. The small serving vessel made it difficult to navigate the bones to get to the grits underneath, which were the best part. Frankly, we were absolutely appalled by the staff’s lack of care for us as guests and won’t recommend this dining experience to anyone.
Dined at Amilinda on Friday (moms night out). Had a lovely evening. I was greeted warmly by the host (I arrived first), and seated at a cozy candlelit table. Our server was awesome, she was fun and had great recommendations for cocktails and food. There were 3 of us, so we each ordered different entrees and shared. Everything was amazing (seabass cheeks, carcamusa and a pork shank). We devoured it all. We also had dessert, some dark chocolate mousse that was incredible (I am still thinking about it). Chef Greg even came to our table for a chat. We had the best time (the employees seem genuinely happy, and we never felt rushed, which was nice). The word I would use to describe this place is: warmth. 5 stars.
The most amazing staff. Attentive, fun and knowledgeable about their menu. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! Do not hesitate to visit this restaurant. It truly is an experience.
Such a delightful evening! We started with the halibut cheeks, and I had the trout salad. I really enjoyed the rabbit. Such a terrific
An absolute Milwaukee treasure.I have never had a bad or even mediocre dish over my dozen or more trips to Amilinda. The service is always impeccable. The wine list is interesting. The desserts are outstanding.Greg is incredibly skilled in everything he does. From the flavor profiles to the plating, you can tell that he cares about every detail of a diner’s experience.My absolute go to when someone asks for a dining rec in Milwaukee.
