Amanda’s has been delighting customers for over 20 years. Guests enter our elegantly restored brownstones and are warmly welcomed by an accommodating staff. Although geographically close to Manhattan and certainly as culinary sophisticated, we’re not slow to smile and truly aim to please each guest. Highly rated by the Zagat Guide for food, service and decor, we are proud to have been named on their short list of the state’s Most Popular Restaurants.
Our popularity stems from the talents of our CIA-trained chef, Rodney Petersen, our dedication to warm, gracious service and the comfortable elegance of our dining rooms. Amanda’s is the natural choice for so many occasions: the romantic couple on a “date to impress,” a family brunch on Sunday or the place to enjoy pre-theater Early Dinner at a price that is really too good to believe. Sophisticated wine lovers enjoy our monthly five-course wine dinners.
Amanda is the granddaughter of the restaurant’s original owner.
We offer a weekday lunch in the weeks preceding the December holidays. Amanda’s can be opened Monday through Friday during the day for large groups. Please contact us if you are interested in planning a weekday luncheon.
Yes, children are welcome at Amanda’s. We can offer a children’s pasta with butter & cheese or tomato sauce. At brunch, we can offer a plate of scrambled eggs and potatoes. We have highchairs available upon request.
We do ask that you consider an early reservation when dining with young children.
No jacket is required. We suggest neat casual. Those who like to dress up will not feel out of place in a black dress and pearls. Devotees of blue jeans will also feel welcome.
There are two steps from the sidewalk to Amanda’s front door. Two members of our strong staff are always available to negotiate that incline. We also have a wheelchair accessible bathroom on the main floor.
