Beautiful atmosphere drew us in, but the service and food were both fantastic! My husband had the hanger steak and he said it was great but the asparagus was the most perfectly cooked he's ever had. He also got the giant pretzel and loved it. I has the way double smash burger, which was like a big Mac with a gluten free bun and egg and it was so good! I devoured it. The food also came out so fast, we couldn't believe it. Awesome experience.

When I go here I like to think of Milo and what his square meal looked like. This is what I imagine. Not anything extraordinary or terrible. Nothing too filling but not too light. Not meat heavy, veggie only, or gluten free. Just an overall "square meal' is what you can expect. This is what classic San Diego fair is. P.S bring back the butter lettuce.

One of the few healthy places I can eat out at that is ALSO delicious! Many gluten and dairy free options. The salmon plate with curried cauliflower and avocado/tomato salad is my go to. The employees are always friendly, too. Highly recommend!

We absolutely love Amalfi Llama! My daughter and I have the pleasure of regularly dining at Amalfi llama - a ritual we started after a fantastic first visit. The setting is so beautiful - expertly decorated, flattering lighting, and ample outdoor seating with heat lamps and fireplaces. The bar is gorgeous, too. I can only speak to a few menu items as we order the same thing each visit, because they are so delicious. The staff has always been 100% wonderful, from the warm greetings of the hosts/hostesses to the kind and expertly trained and servers and support crew, who carefully accommodate our daughter’s Celiac disease. We especially enjoy the service and camaraderie from Jasmine and Danny. We look forward to our visits every week, and are grateful to have found such a wonderful home away from home to enjoy a night out in a new-to-us town.
