Amelia's Bar and Grill
Prices
Average main course: $18.
Description
We doubt Amelia's can do for the post-industrial Back of the Yards neighborhood what Mundial–Cocina Mestiza did for Pilsen, but the new BYOB is certainly worth a trek. Former Mundial chef Eusevio Garcia serves langoustines over creamy risotto dotted with velvety mushrooms, pairs grilled lamb loin with a crunchy sugar-snap-pea slaw and lemony potato cake, and makes one hell of a chile relleno—a blistered green-pepper, oozing cheese-covered sweet corn and tender eggplant.
Hours
Brunch (Sat–Sun), lunch (Mon–Fri), dinner.
The restaurant has changed owners and management. We went for tacos and came out with a great upscale mexican meal. Perfect for our neighborhood.
