Café Amelie Review

I’m always reviewing places. I think if you go somewhere and you hate it you should review it. If you go somewhere and you love it you should review it. That being said I wrote a review on Trip Advisor for the Café Amelie.

Here’s my review: Great Ambience with a Touch of Snooty - This would be the second time we've visited Cafe Amelie. The location is very lovely. Gorgeous courtyard seating as well as inside. I feel like the staff was a bit snooty. We arrived around 30 minutes early, where they take "reservations only" and when I went up to the hostess stand there were two ladies standing there. I gave them my name and time for my reservation and one said "and you're here now" almost annoyed with me and the place was not busy. I replied with a "yes but we can sit and wait". The other lady at the stand never even acknowledged me. They went on speaking to each other and myself and family sat down. Shortly after they decided to take us on in to the restaurant. We sat there for a while going over the menu and FINALLY a waitress came over to us and said "I'm sorry for your wait there was a mis communication and I decided to pick you guys up". Well I don't really care about all that; we're just there to enjoy our dinner. We'd been over the menu once, twice, three times more so we went ahead and ordered. Dinner was very good. I got the crab cake my sister got the catfish, which she loved and my father had the Gumbo. Over all our experience was quite nice. The waitress was prompt and food was great. – I gave them 4 stars, minus a point for the service.

I got a message in my profile inbox that said this: I doubt that the hostesses were annoyed that you were early for your reservation. I have been to Cafe Amelie a lot in the past 2 years with and without a reservation, and the hostess was always friendly. Maybe you need to get the stick out of your butt 

EXCUSE ME!? Who are you, unknown person, which questions MY experience at this place? How ridiculous does a person have to be to write someone this? The best part is I’m not the only reviewer, in the past week, to have negative thoughts towards the wait staff . A roll of my eyes and a quick click of the mouse to block this user ensue. I shared this with both my Daddio and Sissy. They’re response is pretty much the same, “To hell with them there are much better places to eat in NOLA” and this place is “too expensive and isn’t worth the headache”. True and true.
