I always think that in an area lile lunys lane its hard to have that upscale classy feel, and americana sure tries there best when it comes to their ballroom. The service was decent. We got food. Thats probably why it was decent. The food was mediocre. It was surely edible and tasted fine but it wasnt memorable. The food platters were...okay...they had cold cuts and squishy olives. I dont know it threw me off a bit. The tables center peices were strange ( they were blocks of glass that you'd see in like a bathroom window) and the dessert was so cold that i got indigestion because i was so frantic to swallow it as fast as i could. My table had asked for ketchup and we recieved it. But part of me wondered if there was only one bottle in the entirety of the americana because another table also wanted some ketchup, so one of the servers decided to take the ketchup from our table and give it to them. On another note, our group was a little larger than the tabkes were set to accomidate (there were 8 settings on each table and our group was a group of 10) so we decided to move some plates over to the other table so we could all sit together. Unfortunately, we were told by one of the servers that we were allowed to move the seats over but not the plates and our members would have to move back to the other table when the food came around (which was a majority of the night). I thought it was very strange considering that the table they were taking things from was right beside the table we had all chosen to sit at. So the problem was not the serving of food. I dont see where the inconvienience could arise. Ive worked at a restaurant myself and i had never run into a problem such as that unless it was that the customers felt too cramped, and thats their problem for cramping the table not mine. Anyways, it looked nice there and we gad a lot of fun none the less so i give it three stars. I wouldnt go there again for a christmas party or anything. Not fun or appealing enough.
