The Wine Cellar at Amici’s — Restaurant in Florida

Our usual wine bar was overbooked and we decided to give Amici's wine bar a try. We've eaten at Amici's proper and it is good, so we had confidence going in. It was quickly shattered. The waiter who seated us looked at his wits end. Like he wasn't firing on all cylinders. Brought us some bread and we asked him about gluten free options on the charcuterie board and he gave us a puzzled and confused look. He said he would go check with the kitchen and thus ended our last meaningful interaction with the staff. Another waitress came by to drop off some bread and looked less confused than the waiter. She offered to take our drink order and since it had been ten minutes since we talked to anybody, we decided to give her our food order to be safe. Two glasses of wine and a charcuterie board which listed for $40. My hopes were high as this is a premium price. But if you look at the picture below, you will see the utter crap that came out of the kitchen. 6 items. A burata dropping oil over the side of the board, a couple of slices of production rolled up like toilet paper, some artichoke pieces spooned into a pile, a couple of squares of a white cheese, some off smelling soprasatta maybe, gorgonzola crumbles that look intended for a salad and some kalamatta olives. The whole thing sprinkled with sliced parmigiana. It was ludicrous. Every time we went to get something off of the lazy Susan board it was plated on, it wobbled precariously. There was no bread, today points out crackers served with it. I tracked down the waitress after some time in a different room and inquired if any kind of bread came with it and she said no. So at this point we were ready to leave. We finished our winner. Scooped up the gorgonzola with a fork along with the artichoke pieces. At this point our wine had been empty for 10 minutes and we saw no sign of any wait staff. We carried on our conversation and still no sign of life. Tracked down the harried and confused waiter to get our check. He delivered it to the table and refilled my empty water glass. We settled the bill and will not...

Basically ignored as soon as we were sat, no waiter came to check on us and we had to flag down someone anytime we needed something. We asked about gluten free options such as crackers and they had absolutely nothing. We ordered a charcuterie board for 40 dollars and it came on a wobbly lazy susan and had piles of random meats, cheeses, crumbled cheese we had to eat with a fork, and didn't even have any crackers to eat it with. Waiters were pissy for no reason and everything was...

Amazing wine selection, super helpful and friendly staff and great atmosphere. Inside is great, but if you want the full experience, gonna night where they have music on the back deck. The ONLY reason I don't give it 5 stars is the cigar smoking outside. I won't be able to bring our 21yo daughter here because she reacts badly to smoke and...
