I'd never been to an Amir, didn't realize it was a chain.  The servers were really confused (I'm hoping it was because they hadn't used the patio in a while).  It too FOREVER for the food to come.  The only plus - the potatoes, they were yummy (and I don't even like potatoes).  Go for the patio, not for the service.  One guy near us got smart, and went through the take out section and served himself.  He got his food faster and saved on the tip!
