    For our yearly Galentine’s gathering, I chose Amina’s, and it was an excellent choice! From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. The cocktails were refreshing, the food was delicious, and the desserts were out of this world. The ambiance set the perfect mood, and the wall art added such a beautiful touch to the space. But what really stood out was our waitress, Ebony. She was absolutely amazing – so attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed while creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Her service really elevated our experience. I can't wait to come back again!

    Overall experience was amazing. I’ve always wanted to go to this restaurant when I first saw it on my instagram page. Finally my husband and I made the time to attend today, our waitress, of which I do not remember her name, not because she was not an excellent waitress, but because I’m more good with faces lolll. She was the woman who wore glasses and had a ponytail, soft spoken voice, knew that menu well, was very observant, and timely! She was very good and friendly, oh and by the way, she mentioned she’s going to Morocco lollll not to put her business out there butttt… I’m just glad we finally made it! The ambience is awesome…we truly enjoyed ourselves! We will be back soon! I will definitely post our experience

    We placed reservations for 5:15. Apparently, they do not open until 5:15. This left people standing in a cramped narrow corridor while the staff hung out in the front. Be prepared there is a 90 minute table limit. Their website does not mention it and it is not posted anywhere on the planet but apparently it is just a rule that people are supposed to know and assume. Also, not as important just a minor annoyance, there is no drink menu. There is a QR code on a card at the table. After we asked, we learned that is what you scan to get the drink menu. Is it too hard to print the words " drink menu" on that card so that people know what it is? They could even just state that on the food menu. Too many items left to assumptions.

    The service was horrible, the drinks were horrible, the restaurant had a bathroom smell, and the food had no flavor. Definitely won’t be returning.

    The server did not have the patience to share with us what were good suggestions. If we asked about a particular item on the menu the server got upset and didn’t want to take the time to even explain anything to us. We were constantly pushed to log into Instagram to find the menu items of our interest. The server was not patient with us as first time guest at all. The constant response that we got when we asked a question was “all I can tell you is look on Instagram”. With that said I’m never going back there. The server did however get excited when we left a nice tip (which was undeserved).
