Great experience having Thanksgiving dinner at Amelia’s. Our server was very kind and provided us with top tier service. Definitely recommend the salmon as well as the garlic mashed potatoes as a side. Such a nice atmosphere as well, it was decorated beautifully and the staff was so sweet! Only negative was the pork chop was overcooked. Had a wonderful experience sitting on the veranda and excited to come back soon.

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Amelia’s By The Sea. The food was excellent with a view of the ocean, and the service was STELLAR! Our server, Arianna, was just the best! The prices were more than fair and I would recommend Amelia’s completely!

Fantastic little gem hidden along the Jersey Shore…Was fortunate to get a reservation using Resy as well as a parking spot right in front. Everything from appetizers to desserts was delish. My only drawback was I thought the Ocean Avenue sangria was too sweet, but the red sangria was much better. I’ve attached some photos of our delicious choices. Enjoy!

We absolutely loved it. It was our first time dining at this restaurant but the views are beautiful, the food delicious and our server Stephanie was the absolute best. Stephanie always had a smile on her face and it’s evident that she has experience working at upscale restaurants. Her demeanor was always poised, friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

I had a wonderful experience at Amelia’s! It’s so hard to find gluten free options and the polenta calamari was amazing. My server Stephanie was friendly and knowledgeable, it was like having lunch with a great friend! Will definitely be back :)

What a great find! Between the views, the delicious food, and our server Stephanie, we had a great time. Stephanie was so friendly and had excellent recommendations for food options and was knowledgeable about what I could and could not try based on my dietary restrictions. She was attentive and made sure we had a great experience which made us want to go back soon!

Amelia’s By the Sea is a fabulous restaurant with superb service. Our server, Lauren, was wonderful and helped make our celebratory dinner even more delightful. Two of our guests had the Chilean Sea Bass with fresh figs and gnocchi that was served in a delicious brown butter sauce. I had broiled salmon with horseradish that was phenomenal. Even their bread was outstanding. As you know, many restaurants are encouraging their guests to pay cash, including Amelia’s By the Sea, so you might consider stopping at your bank and taking out extra cash so you won’t have to pay an extra 3% if you pay with a credit card.
