We're still waiting for the inheritence cash to be able to afford dining at Michael Cordua's premier restaurant, but there are some things we know about Americas. The dining rooms at both locations are over-the-top show pieces. The "New World Cuisine" has earned Cordua culinary capital and a ingenuis reputation. And, oh, yeah, the prices could choke a yak.
Alison Cook says: Chef-owner Michael Cordúa's churrasco-style venison is a silky astonishment at this darkly glittering post-Maya treehouse. His perfectly crusty lamb chops come with an irresistible obelisk of cotija-laced potatoes. Simple tends to be better here. One problem: a niggling propensity to oversalt. The high-tech service seems less inclined to rush these days - nice. Bring tons of money.

I went to the location on West Gray and it was FABULOUS!! The dining room was very trendy and posh, and the food was to die for. My boyfriend and I went during Restaurant Week to be able to afford it. We both had entrees, wine and shared a dessert. I remember I got some sort of meat assortment. The other good thing was with the entree came a large platter of sides to share - grilled vegetables, plantains, potatoes, etc. I highly recommend this place but beware it is super pricey!
I was very disappointed after my recent meal at Americas Post Oak. The bartender did not know what a Negroni was and the place looked like it needed a cleaning. Waitstaff was good but the food was just OK. Is he focusing on the W.Gray location only?
