    This place is very pretty, it’s fun, and the live music is PERFECT. The food menu is overpriced and boring- the cocktails are tasty but overpriced and lots of ice. The service was bare minimum, our waiter was kind and funny but food was late, and forgotten. I personally wouldn’t return but mixed reviews from our group.

    We visited tell your friends prior to our reservation at the Americano. We own a private speakeasy in another town, so we always love checking out similar venues. We were very impressed with tell your friends. The 50s glam decor was stunning. Our server was very attentive and welcoming. And the cocktails were amazing. We tried several. But my favorite was the flapper fizz! Highly recommend this place!

    Tell Your Friends Experience Can be fun i.e. attractive small venue, speakeasy feel and good service. However, wine prices excessively high, burgers large, but poor quality and seating unavailable for groups of six. Whole experience unique for the valley.

    It is important to have a reservation. We Did have to modify and add an additional for total of 3. Service was good. I think they could have the music play later. Their house cocktails are excellent.

    Beautiful spot. Very loud with the amazing live entertainment. Drinks were great. It is pricey but worth the money. Only downs were that the chicken order felt like Costco frozen nuggets, nothing elegant about them to match the vibes of the restaurant. Also, didn’t realize that our reservation had a time limit but that might’ve been my fault and didn’t read it. Overall a 5 star place, very excited to go back!
