It was a bit strange. We were the only group there, somehow no one else came. May be new management is not up to speed yet. But the for was very good, well made and presented, no problems at all. Wine list is a bit lacking, do not expect much. But the food was totally all right, everyone loved appetizers and main course.

I have to admit, after seeing so many negative reviews, we were hesitant to go. But I am so glad we did. While the portions were on the small size, the food was excellent. Our calamari was perfect & the seafood bisque was a little salty for my taste but the fish in it was very tasty & delicious. The steak looked small but was filling and cooked to perfection. The best part of it all was the incredible and personable attention we received from the manager & staff. The manager even brought out a sample of a drink he thought we might like and he was so right! I hope the manager takes the concerns that we mentioned to him and follows through. He said they are doing things to improve the menu so I hope people give this place a try. And if this manager is working when you go, he’ll make sure your visit is a pleasant one.

We really enjoyed the food at Mayas, the best of our trip to the Big Easy! Many of the dishes had a Peruvian influence to them. The Dorado ceviche, quesadillas and chili relleno with steak were our favorites followed closely by the elote and tres leches cake!

What a find!! Over 20 years coming to HH the memory of this meal will last forever. Seafood salad was sensational. Call food network for their Best I Ever Had series: lobster risotto will easily make that list. Surf and Turf ravioli was melt in your mouth good. You could go ordinary but if you truly want EXTRAORDINARY you have to check this place out.

Wow, we just had a really delicious meal at Americano Steak House in Roan Mountain, Tennessee. From the yummy salads all the way to the decadent dessert, everything was fantastic... including the wonderful service! We had the Caesar Salad and Greek Salad to begin our meal, both fresh and delish. For dinner we had the Ribeye and the Filet, and both were cooked and seasoned to perfection. For dessert, chocolate lava cake with ice cream. We will definitely be back. One thing to be aware of is that due to it being a dry county, no alcohol is currently being served. However, beer is available and you're welcome to bring a bottle of wine to enjoy with your meal. Definitely check this place out if you happen to be in the area.

The food, service and ambience were all good. We had a lobster roll which was more salad and not quite enough lobster but still good. The stuffed flounder was also cooked very nicely. We would order both again. Did not like that there were so many items marked "market price" on the menu, and they did not have the wine I wanted even though it was on the wine list.

The quality of the restaurant was amazing, very neat clean with a classy elegant touch but yet down to earth where you did not feel out of place or overwhelmed. The waiters and hostess were very knowledgeable of the menu and the details of the items, which made us very comfortable ordering being it was our first time. The food was exquisite, well seasoned with a touch of down home cooking. We so enjoyed how first class everything was along with it's originality, even to the desert. The gumbo was tasty with the right touch of flavor, you would think grandma made it. I never take home bread until I experienced these rolls and they were as good the next day. Oh come and see, so you can taste and experience the ambiance for yourself. You won't be disappointed!!!

I love Foxtail, I go often and I love taking friends here. Last night was NOT the best as far as service and once we got our bills we were confused ok no the price. Our server didn’t inform us of pricing for certain things and we felt a bit crazy after spending over $300 for three people. I will be back but I may ask for a different server next time ‘
