    We joined two friends for the NYE five-course meal. Several courses included meat. Being pescatarian, i requested alternatives to the meat dishes. Amilinda's chef contacted me personally to verify the name of the party we were joining and had the sous chef create two tasty alternative dishes for my dining pleasure. Our server was polite and accommodating when I had to "cancel" my wine pairing (husband locked car keys in car, so I would be driving later). While the pairing was prepaid, she sent us home with a bottle of champagne to enjoy safely back home.

    My duck breast was wonderfully prepared as was my partner's rabbit. The one think lacking was a piece of bread to sop up every last bit of the savory sauces, but alas none was served to us. Other tables had it, so I think it was simply an oversight on a busy night. We didn't have the opportunity to flag down our waitress to ask for some as we had a performance to get to.
