THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Ama Lur Restaurant Review: Ama Lur, a Basque expression for Mother Earth, is from Southwestern cuisine pioneer chef Stephan Pyles. Plopped down in the atrium of the gargantuan Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center, the biosphere-like surroundings don't really shout Mother Earth so much as Spaceship Texas. Ama Lur started life as a tapas bar, a concept that did not go over well with Midwestern conventioneers, who want Texas-sized food when they're in Texas. So, Pyle's signature cowboy rib-eye is bigger than the plate and served with a mountain of string-like, curly onion rings. One dish that made the transition intact from small to big is the richly flavored coriander-cured beef tenderloin. Even though there is a tight, well-chosen wine list, go straight for the Margarita Bar and have yourself a frosty beverage. After all, you're in Texas, not Tuscany. |
