Café Americano

Café Americano Restaurant Review:

Café Americano is open 365 days a year and 24 hours a day. Décor features gigantic white plates hanging from the ceiling, hardwood floors and tables, and floor-to-ceiling windows leading to the patio. The creativeness goes beyond the café moniker, as each dish is presented with a tasteful yet artistic flair. Lobster bisque comes with sides of breaded fried lobster, diced jalapeño and chorizo, allowing you to customize to your taste; Cabernet-braised short ribs are served with a colorful array of Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, honey-roasted baby carrots and shoestring onions; and the Whole Hog pizza is made with pork belly, andouille, pulled pork, bacon, house-pickled jalapeños, mozzarella, aged cheddar and a guava barbecue sauce. A Skinny Menu with five items under 500 calories includes Latino vegan quinoa and grilled free-range chicken breast. Those not watching their calories will want to indulge in the mile-high Dutch chocolate layer cake topped with chocolate sauce and cocoa whipped cream. The bar boasts 11 beers on tap and another 12 in bottles, such as Delirium Tremens and Dogfish Head 90-Minute IPA.
