| - Americana invites you in with grand and warm decor, and of course, a couple pleasant hostesses. The bar is located right by the entrance and it was little noisy with conversation between their GM and bar tender.
My love and I were on time for our reservation and promptly seated upon arrival. The dinning room floor has quite a view of Lake Jacqueline that enhances the mood of the ambiance.

Americana's Chef is from Charlie Palmer at the Four Seasons Las Vegas...allow me to say that the items he creates satisfy deliciously all the senses...visually appealing and equally tasty dishes such as the sashimi dressed freshly with avocado pearls, cara cara orange, and ponzu presented on top of chop sticks for table-side-sliding service...octopus, tender and juicy with celery root, cilantro, and poblano pepper...scallops that shined the brightest with black truffle risotto, carrot purée, and chive...ravioli with shaved button & black trumpet mushrooms. We enjoyed all the dishes and definitely would like to come back to try more dishes.
Our server Rick was pleasant and attentive. His service was well-balanced with Americana's nature as an upscale-neighborhood restaurant.
We enjoyed our time here so much that towards the end of our meal I told my love that Americana is easily the best dinning option in this immediate area...and are that includes a prominent French & Wine establishment that I have enjoyed in the past. Needless to say, Americana is certainly worth checking out.
