    NOCHE BRAVA: A Tulum-Inspired Dinner & Sound Experience (WHITE PARTY) This isn’t just dinner—it’s a night to lose yourself in rhythm, flavor, and flow. Noche Brava brings the spirit of Tulum to the city with deep grooves, lush ambiance, and no rules—just good people and good vibes. No tickets required, no minimums—just make a reservation and show up in your best all-white fit. Enjoy indoor and outdoor seating, handcrafted cocktails, and a soundtrack of Tulum-inspired house music that blends Afro, Latin, and bohemian rhythms. Space is limited to keep the vibe intimate and elevated. The atmosphere blends tropical textures with glowing lanterns, open air, and pulsing beats—creating a space that feels both free-spirited and alive. The menu is a journey, taking you from the sun-drenched coasts of the Mediterranean to the bold, soulful flavors of Latin America. This night is a tribute to the cultures of hospitality that welcome you in, feed you well, and leave you dancing.

    Food was good but the service was not great. I understand the restaurant was busy but asking for my drink multiple times and waiting 20-30 minutes for it during bottomless brunch isn’t really worth the price point.
    AmericanoResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, but we’re truly sorry the service didn’t meet expectations. We understand how frustrating delays can be, especially during bottomless brunch, and we’re actively working to improve service (hiring 5 more people) during our busiest times. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to have the chance to provide a much better experience next time.

    The happy hour options were great! Bottomless wings were delicious and the espresso martini was my favorite! The best I’ve ever had, will be coming back here again!

    Walking in for the first time, the host and decor were cheerful and welcoming. We were able to get a last minute table. Our waiter was friendly but very slow, especially at the end of our meal when our dirty plates were in front of us and we were ready to leave. Cocktails were tasty and the whipped feta app was delicious. 3 smash burgers and one pasta. All cooked perfectly although I was told the pasta was a little ordinary. I’m so happy to have found this place in the neighborhood and can’t wait to go back soon!

    Brunch time way over packed, not enough staff, “bottomless drinks” turned into just two drinks because it took about 45 mins to find your waiter and another 15 to get one
    AmericanoResponded 1 day ago
    We’re really sorry to hear your brunch experience didn’t meet expectations. We know how frustrating it is to wait—especially during a busy service—and we understand how that impacted the bottomless drink experience. We're actively working on better staffing and service flow to avoid situations like this in the future. Thank you for the honest feedback, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to show you a better visit.

    Sat on the patio and it was very cold. They turned off the heater half way through the meal. Took 45 minutes for our waiter to come to the table. Another 30 for even the drinks to get here. Got our orders wrong. Food arrived cold. When they did turn the heater on they put it really close to a wicker lamp which was concerning. Overall it wasn’t great, kinda hard to find a positive here, but the drinks we did get were good.
    AmericanoResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback—we're very sorry to hear about your experience. From the long wait times and incorrect orders to the patio comfort issues, it’s clear we missed the mark on multiple levels. Your concerns about the heater placement are especially important, and we take safety very seriously. While we're glad you enjoyed the drinks, we know that's only one part of the experience, and we truly regret that the rest didn’t meet expectations. We'll be sharing this with our team to address these issues directly and work toward meaningful improvements.

    Terrible experience, took over 40 minutes to be seated with a reservation and almost 30 for a server to come to our table. “Bottomless” drinks were non-existent due to server never showing up, and was given half glasses of drinks due to no clean glasses. Server was also extremely rude and said she “didn’t have time” for us asking questions about the menu.
    AmericanoResponded 1 day ago
    We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience—it’s clear we fell short, and we take your feedback seriously. Waiting that long with a reservation and not receiving timely service is unacceptable, and the issues with the drinks and attitude from our team are especially disappointing. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and we will be addressing this internally to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and would welcome the chance to make it right if you're open to giving us another try.

    AMERICANO BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH CHANGED MY LIFE. I am now making this a part of my itinerary every time I have friends visit. You get bottomless sangria, mimosa (bartender made it a "clear mimosa" for me), spritz (aperol, hugo, or elderflower), or seltzer and you can switch between them. The food is solid but the ambiance, girly brunch vibe, and bottomless deal will pull me back every time.
    AmericanoResponded 1 day ago
    We are living for this review—thank you! So glad to hear bottomless brunch at AMERICANO made such a lasting impression (clear mimosa for the win 🥂). We love being part of your go-to itinerary when friends are in town, and we can’t wait to keep the good vibes, great drinks, and brunch energy going every time you visit!
