Though this waterfront bar and restaurant is most famous for it's after-work pickup scene--if you're looking for a cocky young banker-type or a not-as-young woman determined to land one, come here--its kitchen deserves some attention. The dining room, far enough from the boisterous bar to be pleasantly quiet, is finished in earthy wood and olive tones, and well-staffed. – Chef Paul Arenstam, picked in 2008 to represent the US Slow Food movement at Terra Madre, takes his time with a seasonal Italian menu (artichoke hearts w/ salt cod "baccala" stuffing and Meyer lemon aioli; tagliatelle…

Great Scene... Awesome Location
by sjwharton
One of my favorite places for after works drinks. My only surprise came when i ordered a Johnny Walker Black, $11. Oh well, very much worth it. I'm here once a week.

Great after work place!
by jkjenny
I like this place quite a bit. It is a great place to relax after work. It gets a sometimes full crowd, but everyone is very nice and it is easy to feel comfortable here.
- Pros: Nice place
- Cons: None!

We like Hillary!!!
by michlansen
I put this review on YELP! So I figured I put it on Citysearch too.
I have been going to Americano for over a year now on a regular basis. Usually with people from my office. I have to say I have had a lot of bad service. I understand it is because it is so busy all the time. I finally decided to write a review, not about bad service about good service. Everytime we get Hillary, as our waitress we are so well taken care of. Even if she can't get to us right away she lets us know she will be with us as soon as she can. I just wanted to say it is a nice change to being ignored or shunned by the rest of the service staff.
So, thank you Hillary!
If you go to Americano, try and find Hillary........you won't be dissapointed.
- Pros: Hillary
- Cons: Pricey
