Americana never disappoints. We've celebrated birthdays, holidays, small wins, and more there; the owner and staff are fantastic people and obviously care so much about their food. 10/10 even just for brunch! read more

We had a wonderful experience at Americana! I love the old school feel of this place. We made a reservation via Open Table, but it wasn't very busy on a Saturday night. The ambiance at night is nice and dimly lit. Great menu and nicely priced. There's currently a 3 course special that comes with a salad, salmon, tiramisu, and bottomless wine for $60! It's definitely worth it. The goat cheese spread tasted great with the salad. The salad also comes as a big portion. The salmon was huge and perfectly moist. I got the foie gras on French toast. It had the perfect amount of salty and tart sweet flavor with the blackberry-cherry sauce. It comes as an appetizer, but because it's so good, I don't recommend sharing since the portion is so small. I got the spicy seafood pasta, and it was amazing! It had the perfect amount of spice and it comes with a hefty amount of seafood along with a whole big lobster tail! The shrimps that it came with were also huge and there were plenty of calamari and octopus with the pasta. This dish was such a great deal with the portion and the amount of seafood it came with. My only complaint is that they can lighten the amount of fresh basil they put in. I highly recommend! Last, we got the creme brulee, which comes with orange biscotti. It's a shareable portion, and perfectly sweet. Our server Zoe was also amazing! She was super friendly and answered all the questions we had with the menu. Great place for a low key date at Desert Shores and some awesome food! read more

Americana is an excellent choice for a special occasion or celebration. We came for a birthday dinner, and it exceeded our expectations. Everything was delicious. We ordered the Wagyu steak, the salmon, and the mushroom risotto, and every dish was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The views are absolutely breathtaking. Overlooking the lake, you almost forget you're in Las Vegas. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the large fish tank as you walk in adds a luxurious touch without the crowds and chaos of the Strip. If you're looking for a memorable dinner with incredible food, beautiful scenery, and a relaxing ambiance, Americana is definitely worth a visit. read more

Lake views in Vegas? Yes, please! Finally paid a visit to Americana with my husband and in-laws. We came for brunch and my goodness, the view was stellar. We enjoyed some pancakes for the table and I had a simple breakfast. However, the star of the show was the salmon croissant sandwich, it came in a smoky glass dome that was then lifted with a swirl of pizazz. Showmanship! Great meal and service. Parking is free but was a little busy, with all of the happenings in the Lakeside area. read more

This is such a hidden gem in Las Vegas. It's calm and quiet inside, the views are gorgeous & It doesn't even feel like you're in Las Vegas with those views!

Let me start with saying the views were absolutely beautiful and created such a relaxing atmosphere which was perfect for a nice dinner outside. The food itself was delicious and clearly well prepared. One thing to note is that the dinner menu does not offer many options for more selective eaters, but the staff was incredibly accommodating. We were able to order a burger and fries even though it was not on the menu. We also appreciated being able to order calamari and an affogato, which were also off menu. Overall, between the stunning views, great food, and flexible service, it was a really enjoyable dining experience. I've been here a few times and I'm never disappointed. My girlfriends and I had a great time. read more

Americana is a New American fine dining type of restaurant located by the Lakes in the north part of Summerlin Vegas. During the day they offer spectacular views of the lake. If you are an artist you might need to come here just for inspiration. Inside the decor is formal and rich looking with shiny silverware and linen topped tables. We tried a burger, a Nashville style chicken sandwich and a dessert. Nothing was bad. But also none of the plates we would order again. The Nashville chicken sandwich did have a nice plump and moist piece of breaded chicken on it but the heat was just a powder sprinkled on it. The truffle fries were similar. The fries were a generous serving of freshly made fried with fluffy interiors and crisp exteriors but were also topped with an Italian type shredded cheese and a brown powder. My husband tried the Americana Prime Burger. They cooked it a bit pass his request for medium-rare. He said that the burger lack that beef flavor that he was hoping for. I was hoping that maybe dessert would be the sweet spot here so I got half my meal packed up so I'd have room to share some dessert. I thought the Lemon Italian Cream Cake sounded good so we gave it a try. The cake was fresh and moist but tasted like a pound cake to me. It lacked the lemon flavor that I was hoping for. Also the cinnamon cream on the side of the cake was somewhat out of place for this dessert to me. I should note that our visit was after a big holiday and they might have been short on help. The waitstaff seemed very cordial but we waited very long for every single thing. Our lunch visit took over an hour and a half. Stunning beautiful atmosphere. Lunch food is ok maybe they shine more for dinner? read more

We went to hang out with some ducks and wanted to try this place for brunch. Exceptional service and with great views of the lake. Big portions and fast service. Beautiful ambience and decor.

Absolutely horrid! I'm still appalled at what happened: I've never left a bad review, but the past few days I haven't been able to stop thinking about my experience here this past Sunday. In talking with my friends and coworkers about it, they've encouraged me to say something because it was so insane. I went to brunch with my partner expecting another wonderful time based on the last time we went. Nope. The owner (I asked who he was) was in the kitchen screaming at his kitchen staff like an abuser. He used foul language, was unbelievably unprofessional, offensive and belittling. We could not believe what we were hearing. I feel so bad for whoever was in that kitchen and would advise them to file a complaint for hostile workplace immediately. My only regret is that I didn't think to pick up my phone and document the whole thing. read more

Fantastic, prompt service checking in a bit early for a lunch reservation. Simple but well variety menu. Food quality was very fresh and decently portioned. However, Oysters were on the small side for the price point and for only being half dozen, so if that is a go-to for you, I'd suggest an actual Oyster bar or Flemings for that. Overall, the patio environment while refreshing with the water view did come with the downside of falling leaves into food & drink so I definitely recommend dining inside if it is breezy and cold like it was today! Beautiful view, nonetheless. I will definitely be back for the great service to try more menu items such as the New York strip steak, which server Megan who was fantastic advised the sides can be swapped out if desired. The club salad is big enough to be split between two people, but beware the menu says ranch dressing but thankfully the server checked with us if blue cheese was okay which unfortunately is not for me, so I went with Ranch. Hopefully they mention this tiny albeit important detail on their lunch menu to avoid confusion. Thank you Americana for treating us so well, hope to return soon! read more

Americana is a safe bet as a local upscale option. Don't think there's necessarily any standout dishes here but that's not a bad thing, especially considering how they stick to classic modern American dishes. Everything I've had here so far has been good, and they benefit from a unique ambiance given their lakeside location in a largely residential location. I get their Filet Mignon every time I'm here and they're doneness is pretty consistent. I prefer somewhere between medium-rare and medium depending on the restaurant and stick to medium-rare here. They rotate a lot of salads depending on the season and I like that their vegetables are always fresh, and never drenched with too much dressing. For desserts, I like their Basque Cheesecake as it's delicious without being too sweet, and they give a generous amount of fruits with it. read more

Never thought I'd like something on this menu(I'm not used to anything similar to this restaurant, more like Olive Garden and what not), I was brought here for my birthday and I had Graham, Gram, Ghram, (I'm not sure how to spell it exactly but I wanna make sure he gets credit) as my server.

The main attraction of this restaurant is the view. The service is good. The food is mediocre. Nothing special is sensed when you eat their food. Some servers have demeanors which seem like they serve poker tables as their primary jobs. That's not fitting for classy restaurants. read more

Had an amazing night here, the food was delicious and friendly waiter the view outside is so delightfull

Came back again for another amazing dinner. Even better than I remembered. We started with the charcuterie board and a salad. All delicious. I got the salmon, and it was perfectly cooked. With a crisp layer on the outside, and a moist inside. Great service and ambiance. I need to come back more. Such a great experience. read more

Americana Las Vegas - Brunch Review We recently checked out Americana Restaurant in Desert Shores, and the location, views, and ambiance are definitely some of the biggest highlights. Situated right on Lake Jacqueline, Americana has one of the more unique waterfront dining settings in Las Vegas. The restaurant was opened by Chef Stephen Blandino, formerly the executive chef at Charlie Palmer Steak, and focuses on modern American cuisine with European influences. The views were fantastic, and honestly, it felt like there wasn't really a bad table when it came to the atmosphere and scenery. The lakefront setting gives brunch a much more relaxed, upscale feel compared with a typical Las Vegas restaurant. Brunch prices were also surprisingly reasonable for the setting and overall experience. The current brunch menu includes options like Italian Eggs Benedict, shrimp & grits, steak & eggs, brioche French toast, and Americana's lemon ricotta pancakes. They also offer $20 bottomless mimosas, Bloody Marys, grapefruit Palomas, or red wine sangria. Unfortunately, service was the weak point during our visit. Our server forgot multiple parts of our order, and we noticed several tables that were seated 10-15 minutes after us receiving their food before we did. We also saw food runners bringing dishes to the wrong tables and, on a few occasions, placing food on the wrong side of the table. Overall, Americana has a beautiful setting, great ambiance, and a brunch menu that offers solid value, but our particular visit had some noticeable service and food-running issues. Hopefully it was simply an off day, because the lakefront location and atmosphere are absolutely worth checking out. Americana Las Vegas | Desert Shores 2620 Regatta Dr., Las Vegas, NV 89128 A great option if you're looking for waterfront brunch, a relaxing atmosphere, sunset dining, or a special-occasion restaurant away from the Strip. read more

I came to this complex with my fiancée to check out reception places. We walked in, got seated in the most romantic seat in the house, with the most beautiful view! It's reasonably priced for fine dining. We ordered the burger and a Caesar salad! They split it for us and gave us amazing service and constantly checked in. I recommend this beautiful restaurant to anyone passing by. read more

This place is so pretty, very well designed around the lake at Desert Shores. The interior of this restaurant is elegant and sophisticated. Perfect place to have a family dinner or an impressive place to take friends or family in town. I love having lunch or dinner here and sitting outside with the beautiful man-made lake as your scenery. There's nothing like the ambiance. Now on to the main thing; The food. How is it, you ask? The lunch and dinner options are better to me. I'm not a huge fan of their brunch menu, which is what I had on this particular day. They have a really great happy hour. It's probably one of the best in town for the value. The cocktails are delicious as well. Now if you do come for happy hour, you don't get the view just an fyi. Happy hour is served inside off to the side of the bar. The service however, no matter what day of time you come is always spectacular. The customer service is like a fine-dining experience. A definite must try, even if it's just for the cocktail and the view! read more

I recently visited Americana Restaurant in the Desert Shores community and had a truly memorable meal. From the moment we walked in, the ambience was warm and inviting -- the dining room feels elegant but relaxed, and if you can snag a seat with a view of the lake, it's absolutely worth it. We started with a couple of appetizers that were beautifully presented and flavorful, and the entrees didn't disappoint either. The menu offers a nice balance of modern American cuisine with some creative twists, and everything we ordered tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. I ordered lobster of course and hubby had steak. Service was attentive without being overbearing -- our server checked in just the right amount and was great with recommendations. The pace between courses was perfect, making the meal feel leisurely and enjoyable. Bonus points for the Sunday brunch with bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys -- a fun option if you're looking for a weekend treat. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want a nice dinner with a view, this place delivers. Highly recommend! Will be returning soon :) read more

I had to update my review because I wanted to mention ; always order things they way they are on the menu or you will be risking your meal ! I had dinner last Sunday here because my favorite Happy Hour place was closed due to a private party La Madre. I had just had an Enormously Splendid lunch a couple months ago ! The bone in steak was perfectly done ! The whole wait staff is polite and inviting . The atmosphere is quant and refreshingly warm . Sofia I think was our waitress . She is a teacher and had the most beautiful eye shadow ! Truly excellent service . However , I have severe food sensitivity and requested a salad and the kitchen made literally the worst salad I've ever had in my life ! It was soaking with SALT . I have never in my life sent anything back to the kitchen , and have been in the food service industry since 1979! Our kind waitress replaced the first salad with another which was not as bad but was un-edible ! I left it on the table . She should have taken it off the bill , and offered free dessert or something . Very disappointed. read more

This restaurant had a very relaxing ambiance since it overlooks the lake. The service was good. My favorite? The complimentary bread! The shrimp appetizer was good. My husband's salmon was really good. My pasta? Meh. First, my pasta was supposed to come with octopus and squid, it had none. The sauce was on the saltier side. I asked our server immediately why it didn't come with the listed octopus and squid, he took the dish back and they made me a new one-except the sauce came back different. Less saltier which was good but somehow lacked the flavor it had the first time. Oh well. I did not want to take a chance on dessert, so I didn't order one. read more

Excellent food. Awesome ambiance. Nice wine selection. Great service. Little pricey.

Everything was delicious! The service and atmosphere was what I had expected. Thank you for making me feel so welcomed.

Gorgeous views, cozy vibes, and great cocktails are what sums up Americana in my opinion. First off the views of the lake are STUNNING. Whether you're sitting inside in the cozy glass room or outside with the stunning views up by the lake, any seat is beautiful. Service wise - everyone was very friendly and helpful. I would say that it felt a little rushed, like they were trying to turn the table, but still very friendly. Cocktails were fun and delicious, you HAVE to try the old fashioned!!! The food was the only thing that was alright. The charcuterie was a little basic, the filet was ok and the veggies that came with were under seasoned. The scallops were INCREDIBLE, but the risotto was sub par. Overall everything just needed salt in my opinion. So overall I would probably go back for a fun date night! read more

We had lunch at Americana and the ambiance was truly to die for a modern, relaxing, and made even better by the beautiful lakeside view, which really elevated the whole experience. It's the perfect spot for a laid-back midday meal. We started with the crispy shrimp, which was an absolute standout 10/10, highly recommend. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and a great way to kick things off. For mains, I had the cacio e pepe, and my husband went with the chicken sandwich. The cacio e pepe itself was pretty good. The noodles were lightly seasoned and had potential, though it could've used a bit more cheese, salt, and pepper. I added the salmon on the waitress's recommendation (instead of chicken), and honestly, I was underwhelmed. The salmon lacked flavor completely no seasoning, no depth. If that's the better option, I'd be nervous to try the chicken! As for the chicken sandwich, it looked and tasted very basic, nothing memorable, and not something we'd order again. One small downside to note: we were there for a birthday celebration, and while they did bring out a birthday treat, it felt a bit hesitant and not very enthusiastic, which was disappointing, especially since the reservation was clearly noted as a birthday. Overall, I'd still come back but mainly for the setting, the atmosphere, and that incredible shrimp appetizer. There's definitely potential here, and I'd love to try other dishes on the menu. With a few small improvements, this place could easily be a top tier lunch spot! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Las Vegas. Their A5 Wagyu is some of the best I've ever had. It's cooked to perfection and served with the best mashed potatoes I've ever tasted, along with vegetables. The meal feels home-cooked rather than like the tiny steak-on-a-plate experience you get at most high-end steakhouses. The service is always amazing as well. It's better than any of the restaurants on the strip and I live here so I've been to a lot. read more

I came here for my anniversary. The ambience of this restaurant was so beautiful , the staff that seats you was so sweet and say us outside at her favorite spot. I was very excited to eat here as it's been on my yelp list for years. I would consider this restaurant middle upper class and the staff did not reflect this, they were kind but not knowing the menu as much and not many recommendations, which is fine but not as "fine dining" in my opinion. We order the lemon Caesar with chicken, this was fine and pretty cheap. My boyfriend ordered the seafood pasta, which was very good noodles were cooked perfectly and sauce was good. For me I ordered the cacio e pepe, and this is where the story falters. The noodles were perfect but I couldn't finish the dish because there was about 3 tablespoons of oil at the bottom of the plate thought that was it and was still satisfied from the view and willing to put up with it, until I had the chicken . It was raw in the middle and it's unfortunate because I only had the one piece left. The staff was kind enough to take it off the bill after asking and offered to bring out another entree/ dessert but definitely left a lasting thought in my head and I'm not sure if I would come back. The photo is the only one I could find that I took. I didn't take a photo of the chicken as i told them right away . read more

Came here for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised! The view was gorgeous, we were seated at a window. Our waiter was extremely attentive, and we were provided with insight on the menu, drink refills, and constant check ins. As an appetizer we split the beet and goat cheese salad which was light and tasty, although it was a little salty. For my main, I ordered the steak Diane which was prepared table side and was delicious! I ate the whole plate. My husband ordered the bone in ribeye and it was very flavorful and tender. I did feel like the prices were a smidgen high for off strip, as they were comparable to strip prices. Although, they weren't so high that I wouldn't come back to enjoy their food again occasionally. I'm excited to come back in spring and hopefully eat outside! read more

I have had Americana saved in my "Must try" folder for so long now, but I was finally able to give it a try the other day! We had a reservation for 5 and while we were being sat at our table the hostess told us she could try to get us a table with a better view, which was already so nice. She ended up getting a table right next to the water, which was the perfect scenery for our brunch. The brunch menu had a lot of different options, and offered a really great deal for bottomless mimosas, sangria and other drink options. They had a sweets section on the back of the menu too. I opted for a simple Eggs and Bacon while my fiance ordered the Shrimp and Grits. Unfortunately, the grits were suppeeeerr watery, but my fiance said the flavor was still good. The eggs and bacon were fine too, nothing crazy. The food was decent for the prices offered. The service was also good, the waters were filled up consistently, that was nice since it was a little hot outside. All in all, Americana is a really nice restaurant for special occasions or even just a nice relaxing brunch. Would love to come to try their dinner menu! read more

My husband and I had dinner here for our anniversary and we had a good time. Service was nice. I don't think the portions matched the price, and the price didn't match the taste either.
