Editorial Review for Américas – by Robin Barr Sussman
The Scene
The jaw-dropping new-age architecture by Jordan Mozer and way-out interior decor form the perfect match for Americas' food. Although the menu is similar to its sister restaurant, Churrascos, expect a wider seafood selection and more futuristic plate presentations.
The Food
Generous salads are bathed in rich, creamy dressing. Try the garlic-laden Caesar de pollo or the ensalada de pollo asada. Other options include the applewood-smoked, bacon-wrapped tuna with creamed fettuccini and chili peppers or the pork tenderloin sautéed with lime, scallions and roasted peppers served on a Mexican torta. The signature hearty black-bean soup served in a bread boule is good, but the Chilean redwood-smoked salmon filled with roasted-corn mousse is more luscious. Finish with tres leches cake, notably more flavorful and moist than others around town.

I tried out Americas after a friends recommendation. We made reservations for 7:30 and we were seated right away. The restaurant was so different inside, it was beautiful! Our service was excellent, everything was served just at the right time and we did not feel rushed at all. The food was fantastic and the tres leches and cheesecake was the best! I was very happy with everything and we had a great night

Still one of the best steaks, or churrascos, in town. We went on a Thursday night and were seated promptly. The steak was awesome as usual. My husband ordered the special with the lobster tail, while it was delicious, it was a bit on the small side. The salad, meat, veggies and tre leches were all great. Can't wait to go back.
Pros: great steaks, tres leches
Cons: cosntruction and parking
