The coconut shrimp is PHENOMENAL. The salmon poke bowl was good along with the salmon roll. The service wasn't good - waiter got my order wrong and took a very long time to check back on our table each time.

Fantastic experience at the Bloom & Bee for Valentine’s Day! Erica took great care of waiting on us and Grant stopped by to visit with us. The pre-fix menu was tasty and delightful with perfect wine pairings. The musicians playing the piano and harp only added to the lovely ambience. The bouquet of flowers as a parting gift was an extra special touch to make the evening even more memorable.

You can’t say enough about Amalfi. The entire evening was more than I could have expected. The wait staff (Ezequiel was tops) attended to our wants before before we knew we wanted them. And what can you say about the meal. The food was impeccable as always.
