Ameilas Cafe - (Near Watson, IL)

Bunny Me and my cousin fell into this restaurant as we were in the Joliet area and we needed to eat. Google can pull up some good finds. The pictures of the catfish drew us in. So glad we stopped in. Beautiful atmosphere, not a large spot but large enough. We immediately noticed the deck of cards on each table, and the stack of board games on the counter. Nice to get a game of spades or Uno in while you wait for your food. Now to the food, my cousin ordered her fish fried, I got the blackened fish. They didnt disappoint. Well seasoned, and the correct portion. I got the sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes. Had I known the blackened fish came with rice, I would have not gotten the potatoes. My cousin got greenbeans and mashed potatoes. Sent the greenbeans back and got cabbage, unfortunately they were cooked too soft, but that cabbage was nice. Everything well seasoned. I live in the city but would definitely stop back by the next time Im in the Joliet area.

Sophie Riemersma My family and I had an amazing experience at Moussalli’s on Saturday. The waitress, Amy, was very attentive and gave 5 star service. But the food was also top notch. I got the filet medallions while my husband got the prime rib special. The mushroom, shrimp & crab cream sauce was to die for. I was super impressed with the amount of options available on the menu. I feel that I could go back 5 more times and get a different meal each time and be perfectly satisfied. Also, highly recommend the peppery feta salad. Our group also had the crab stuffed mushrooms and the charcuterie board for apps. They were good, but nothing to phone home about. Instead, I would recommend the white truffle mac & cheese and the garlic parmesan fries. Super excited to come back & try more options! Food and service was 100% worth the value and price paid.

Pam Earnhart Glad we finally tried this place out. Such a little gem. One of the owners came over and sat down went over the menu, asked if we had any questions. Just great hospitality. We both had the Italian Beef and baked beans. Both were very flavorful. The beans are not typical baked beans and are definitely a must try. We will definitely go back!

Scott Heidemann I love Mexican food, especially when it’s authentic. I am not from the area but a patient was having lunch (Hector’s carry out) and couldn’t help but noticed how good it smelled and looked and had to try it out. 3 areas that separate Mexican restaurants are: their salsa, chips and taco salads. They were all amazing. Chips were thick and crispy, both salsas were made in house (the green was spicy, but it complemented the lettuce to calm it down). Not from around here but will definitely make this a reason to come back. A little pricey for what I ordered but the experience was good

Mark Greiner Prompt, respectful staff with regards to the dining experience. Our brunch & mimosas for my brothers wedding reception went swimmingly.
