| - I decided to get all fancy schmancy and take the husband here for our anniversary and I couldn't be more happier with my decision. The romantic ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for the occasion, from the lighting to the soft music playing. Once we arrived, we were seated right away. I'm glad I made our reservation when it was still light outside cause the view of Lake Jacqueline was so breathtaking and relaxing. You forget for a moment that you're in the middle of the desert. They even gave us a handwritten note wishing us a Happy Anniversary which I thought was a nice personal touch.
Our server, I forget his name, was amazing and provided us with great customer service. So great in fact, that he even walked the husband to the bathroom when he asked where it was. The husband was actually blown away with just that alone.
Now for the food...we highly recommend the oysters for starters. They serve the oysters with caviar which is different than what the husband is used to, but definitely a winner. I'm not much of an oyster person , but I love how it didn't have that sea taste. For the main course, I decided to go with the scallops and I thought they were cooked to perfection. The Mac n cheese on the other hand, was too heavy in my opinion. At the end, we were surprised with cheesecake and sorbet, courtesy of Americana which was a nice ending to our meal.
All in all, I definitely recommend Americana especially if you're celebrating a special occasion. They make your experience memorable with the little things that they do. I also recommend getting there when it's still light out so you can enjoy the nice view of the lake and forget that you're in the middle of the desert, even for a little bit ;)
