Amerigo's is always top notch all the way around. It was a go-to for my dad and I for years before he passed away and it's still a go-to for my wife and I today many years later. It's as consistent as it gets

The 7 course tasting menu was excellent. Since it was a Monday night I got to sit at one of six seats overlooking the line. The chef plated, presented and described each course. It was a true delight.

First time going here and I was really excited about the pretzels. They were delicious, and I had the smash burger with sweet potato waffle fries. Everything was fresh and great tasting. Our server was really nice and had great timing. We spent about 45mins-1hr there altogether including browsing the little store inside. Unfortunately we didn’t see the gaming area until it was time for us to head out. Pretty cute place whether it’s date night, or a night with friends. Making reservations was really easy using OpenTable and we were actually able to get in 15 minutes before reserved. Also love that it has its own parking lot and they validate it.
