Autumn is wonderful at Amarelle. it was a cold, drizzling November evening when we arrived but a prompt seating near the glowing fireplace quickly took the chill off. The restaurant is beautiful with a clean, modern look. Extra high ceilings though, can amplify noise and don't make for as intimate an ambiance.
Waiting on each table was a large, crisp fall apple with a sharp knife for easy slicing. Combined with the excellent bread, it made for a tasty and interesting start to the meal. We'd read that the pumpkin risotto was worth ordering and we couldn't agree more. The creamy risotto arrives in an edible dish of a roasted mini pumpkin, complete with its lid. If ever we saw a dish that was temptingly plated, this was it! Entrees were very well prepared, seared local duck and a delectable piece of Kobe beef with interesting smokey sweet potatoes.
