  • "A great meal was had by all! Everyone in our out=of-town party was impressed!"
    Dined on 3/2/2014
  • "Great food, excellent service, the best capuchino in town."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "30 minute wait from reservation time. Dirty table cloth. Rude waitress who did not know the menu. Overall terrible dining experience."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "Let me just say that if I could go to this place everyday I would. Wonderful and great tasting food to wake up your palette, awesome customer service and BEAUTIFUL decor. My husband told me this was one of his best Valentines in the 10 years we've been married. Definitely a spot we'll be returning to!"
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "Although we had a reservation, we still had to wait for almost an hour to get seated - that was disappointing. However, once we finally got seated, our waiter, Rafael was simply outstanding. Great service, delivering great food; and that compensated for the earlier lousy service."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "OUR SERVER WAS THE BEST! THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! COULD HAVE NOT PICKED A BETTER SPOT FOR VALENTINE'S DAY."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Overall was great the only bad thing is they over booked reservations. I had a 7:30 reservation and did not get seated till 8:10. THey were very disorganized. However after being seated everything was great!"
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "We had been to America's in The Woodlands before, and had a great dining experience. However for Valentines, we felt they had overbooked the resturant. The service levels were poor, not due to the staff, but because there were too few of them. Also, the food was not as good as it appeared to be rushed. We were also dissastified with the set menu, versus their normal full menu offering. While I would return to America's, I would not return for Valentine's nor recommend them to anyone during this time."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Absolutely wonderful select of quality items Excellent service Strongly recommend"
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "The floors were littered. The steak was tough. The fish was tough and lacking in flavor. Overall this was below my standard for a moderately priced restaurant. This was definitely not a moderately priced meal."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Took my wife for Valentine's Day and the service was horrible! It seems they overbooked and could not handle the crowds. Service was poor starting with the hostess and grew progressively worse."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "The bill was outrageous it was really really expensive although the food was good"
    Dined on 2/14/2014

    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "We arrived 10 minutes early to discover that the valet had no more parking available. How does that happen? The parking area they directed us to had no open spaces either. We parked 4 or 5 blocks away. It was a nice evening for a walk, but I almost drove away."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "Our Valentines Day was great because of the great food & great service."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Everything was great! The only issue was that I had put in a special request and it was sort of ruined because the waiter was not aware of it. I had asked that at the end of the meal I wanted a Tres Leches with the writing "I Luv U" on it for my wife. He either forgot about it or didn't see it but other than that it was a really good dinner with my wife!"
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "It was like a cattle call on the lower level. The servers tried, but the management took advantage of diners and overbooked with terrible service from the moment we walked in to the time we left. The only nod to the holiday in the cattle call room was red tablecloths: the music choice was poor, the tables were packed so closely together you couldn't hold an intimate conversation and there was little done to make a special evening."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "I should start by saying normally I love Americas! Great food and good location but this time it was a huge disappointment. We arrived a few minutes ahead of our reservation and were told they were running behind. We decided to go to a local bar for a drink and an appetizer. We returned 20 minutes later to be told they were still 15-20 minutes behind. We waited and after 20 minutes and a prompt from my husband we got seated. Another 15 minutes later we hadn't even been approached for a drink so we decided to leave. Service was awful. What made it worse was that on open table they were still showing they had availability throughout the evening! Great resturant normally but avoid it on busy "hallmark" weekends!"
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "This was a fixed price meal for Valentines Day. Food was served like warm to cold. Preparation was uninspired. Service was inattentive. Overall a D to C- before considering price. 2 for dinner $235 was completely out of line. We will not return."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Wait staff was not very friendly, floors were dirty, tables were to close together, will not goback"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "We did not get any drinks at all until after appetizer, not even water. Service was so bad, we never received any refills on water or drinks. i would of gladly purchased another beer but my waiter never even ask, our water glasses were empty most of the meal and he never offered to fill them. For $200 we should have been wowed but our experience was horrible, I would not return to this place again, even if the food was free, the service was that bad!!! And to make it worse, the waiter kept my credit card, i had to return to the restaurant to retrieve it. the next day. Now i see why the rating on urban spoon is so low, i should have checked it first."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "20 minutes after our reservation time, with the hostess and manager clearly overloaded and overwhelmed, we left and ate at a different restaurant."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "This was my first time eating at Americas. I wanted to have a nice romantic dinner with my fiance for Valentine's day. We were seated right away but right from the start, we start for twenty minutes before anyone came over to even take a drink order. It seemed there was some confusion about who's table we were. We finally got our drink order in but it then took another 15 minutes to get our appetizer order and main course order in. The menu was so simple as the chef decided to have a limited choice of appetizer, main course and a desert for $75 per head without wine $89 with wine."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "I had recommended this restaurant to my boyfriend as a great romantic place to go for valentines! What a dissapointment. My boyfriend had to finally go back up to the hostes to ask about service as we were at the table for approximately 10 minutes before the waiter arrived. They was no apology for lack of service/wait. When we ordered and received our bottle of wine, we had to ask for a bucket of ice for the wine to be chilled as well as ice for our water.Due to the poor service, lack of romantic ambiance, it was a very disappointing experience for Valentine's Day."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Took my wife there for valentines day. Although the atmosphere and presentation was great upstairs, we were escorded downstairs where the atmosphere, presentation, and service was not worth the $200 for two."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Loved it, went for a special date night with my wife and food was great so was the service."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Food was great but no service what so ever. Saw waiter maybe 3 times during entire meal."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Celebrating a 40th wedding anniversary at a Sunday brunch on February 9, 2014. We were seated near the doors leading to the patio. Every time someone opened the doors, a blast of cold air blew in because the front doors of the restaurant were propped open, which created a draft effect. The wind was strong enough to move the drapes and blow the hair of lady customers. I mentioned it to our waiter and he came back and said the manager stated nothing could be done about it. The manager never came by to offer any apologies or explanations. I spent over $125.00 for a once in a lifetime special occasion and was miserable. First time customer and last time customer. I have gotten better service from managers of fast food restaurants ."
    Dined on 2/9/2014
  • "The overall experience was fair at best. Although the food was good $209 FOR 2 APPETIZERS, TWO STEAKS WITHOUT SHARED VEGETABLES, AND TWO DESSERTS AND 4 GLASSES OF INEXPENSIVE WINE. COULD HAVE GONE TO A LOCAL STEAKS HOUSE AND HAD MORE FOR UNDER 120. I DO NOT RECOMMEND DUE TO PRICE."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "I love Americas and have been numerous times with my wife and friends. The menu is great, the ambience is fantastic, and the service is superb. BUT, my wife and I had reservations for Valentine's Day, and it was a terrible experience. They had added numerous tables upstairs (we have always eaten downstairs, and upstairs is typically used as a bar with a few tables for dining) to accommodate the plethora of guests for the special occasion. Unfortunately, it took 20 minutes to get water and plantain chips (their complimentary appetizer), and after 30 minutes of not even having a wait staff member come by and take a drink order and drop off menus, we left. They had booked far too many guests to accommodate comfortably."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Service was extraordinary and the food was great!!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "My wife and I had a Valentines Day dinner at Americas. As usual, the food was amazing. However , the waiter was over whelmed and our service was poor. We had to ask the floor manager a few times to get the waiter to come by. However , til the end of meal nothing changed. Hoping this was a one time occurance. I was even more surprised at the lack of response from their management staff about this issue."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Very unique, modern, and fun setting. The bar/lounge area was very nice, although we didn't spend much time there. Date night with the wife. We were off to see a movie at 830 and made a quick reservation for 715. As complex and spectacular as the meal was, I had little hope we would make the movie, however our waiter was very accommodating and was able to get us in and out in an hour, without a sense of rushing or stressing. I cannot stress how unbelievable the food was, and the wine list just the same. If you have not had churrasco, or even if you have, you have to order it. Hands down the best that I have had."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Service was disappointing, waiter got drink order wrong and made it as we ordered wrong. After asking to change drink, they just removed the ice and gave us a watered down martini. When we asked to remove this drink for a glass of wine, we were still charged for the first drink. Have been going here since they opened, will not return."
    Dined on 2/4/2014
  • "The food was very good. The wine selection was nice and mostly fairly priced. Lastly the service was outstanding! I highly recommend this restaurant!"
    Dined on 2/6/2014
  • "Americas made for a good evening with friends. Excellent food and a running dialog with the sommelier on grape and wine origins kept the two wine experts in our group challenged and entertained. Can't blame them for pushing the tables a little too close together as the place was still packed."
    Dined on 2/5/2014
  • "The food was good as usual. I have been to other Americas restaurants and the food is always good. Our service was very poor ... the waiter disappeared so long that we asked the manager to assign a new waiter. Eventually, our original waiter returned and took our order. During the meal, he spilled the milk from the Tres Leche on the back of my jacket which I did not notice until we had left the restaurant. I will return to the Americas in Houston but will probably not venture back to The Woodland's Americas due to the service. There are too many other good restaurants in the area that do everything right."
    Dined on 2/4/2014
  • "Service was excellent! Food was good - not great - and pricey."
