Americano Lincoln Park

Had a great experience here. Love the atmosphere. It has a casual but upscale vibe. I had the Cuban Minis starter as my entree. It consisted of 2 good-sized Cuban sandwiches with fries. I was concerned it wouldn't be enough food but wound up taking one of the sandwiches and some fries home. My husband had the burger, which is a smash burger that he enjoyed. My daughter had the lobster Mac and loved it. Very good tasting mac with loads of lobster. She'll probably get 2 more meals out of it. My friend had the Chicken blt, which she's had before but liked it so much, she had it again. The drinks were also delicious. I had an Elderflower spritz, which was a perfect light summer drink. My husband and daughter equally enjoyed the sangria. My friend had the Lincoln Park Sunset, which she liked but is hoping the Kobal cranberry is back soon. The owner, Otto, came over to see how we were doing and to chat. Our server Luis was fantastic. We will be back for sure. I wish we lived closer

A really great space under the Hotel Lincoln that has potential, but unfortunately didn't live up to it while we were there. I think atmosphere is the only thing they have going for it. Food: crudo was not chilled which made me worry about its quality. Their ceviche had olive which was an interesting take, unfortunately it overwhelmed the dish. The steak was too chewy for medium rare. The good: raw oysters were good and the sea bass was tender and cooked perfectly. The mussels were plump and large too, albeit the dish overall was too salty. Service: so. Slow. We were there for 2.5 hours not because we were chatting, because food took so long to come out. Maybe because they're new, but they have to figure out the logistics. Our waiter was sweet but she seemed really nervous for some reason. It put us off from fully enjoying our meal.

First of all, the space is BEAUTIFUL. They probably already have the best bottomless brunch in the city and its location is second to none directly across from the park.I went for dinner and every part of it from the ambiance to the staff to the FOOD was amazing and something I won't be forgetting about soon.We had the mussels (holy heck when you dip the bread in the broth), the oysters, the tartar, the deviled eggs were devilishly good, finished with the steak with the chimichurri sauce was like Sammy Sosa back in the day AKA they hit it out of the park!The bar is open until 2am, and the kitchen is open until midnight and so is their huge patio. You gotta get one of their espresso martinis (I recommend making it a tequila one but hey pick your poison).Can't wait to go back.

Such a gorgeous restaurant but incredibly mediocre food. The steak was under seasoned but cooked ok, the dipping sauce it came with was delicious. The potatoes were probably my favorite dish. The fries were just ok and the wings could have had more seasoning as well. The manager came out to tell us the kitchen was backed up which explained why it took a while to get our food but they ended up giving us free fries and didn't up charge for my friends truffle fries. Service was also ok as well, our main server got less friendly throughout the night but I would still say service was fine. Overall don't think I would come back but it was a fun place to try.

I recently visited Americano in Lincoln Park and had a mixed experience. The ambiance is inviting, with modern, cozy decor that sets a nice tone for dining. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which was a definite plus. However, the food was just okay.Service was attentive and courteous, which I appreciated. Americano has potential, but the food needs to improve to match the lovely setting and excellent service.

I came here for dinner with a friend around 5:15 PM. Service was quick and friendly. The oysters were scrumptious! Beautiful interior and exterior.

Went with a friend to try Americano which was a spot that we hadn't explored since its opening at Hotel Lincoln. The ambiance was great, loved the design and vibe, especially the bar.However, after the ambiance, everything else was a let down.We tried:-Garlic Parmesan Wings (would not recommend)-Street Corn (fun and different, would recommend trying once)-The Burger (above average, would recommend... comes with shoe string fries)-Lobster Mac and Cheese (would not recommend)-Red blend (would try something else)Service was slow and the items recommended by host and server ended up being things we would never order again. Unfortunately the lobster Mac which neither of us liked also had lobster shell pieces in it. The owners overheard us talking about the lobster Mac and were kind of enough to have the server remove it from the check. Additionally, they were out of drink options which was interesting. Waiter didn't know where the cork for our bottle was when it was time to go either. It seems some things are still being sorted out as the restaurant is newer. GM did make great impression and effort to check on guests.Helpful to know:They have designation as a beer garden, so they can stay open until 12 at night.Decided we would come back for burgers with our other friend to try it again this week before writing off.Update:Went back the next day with our other friend who really wanted to try it. We ordered:-Brussel Sprouts-Burgers-Aperol Sprits -A Gin Citrus Drink from the menu-Diet Coke :)Service was exceptionally slow and inconsistent where it took significant effort to track someone down to pay the bill. Brussels were okay with the orange zest, but extremely small serving size for the cost. They were out of strawberry daiquiris which made one of our friends wonder if maybe they were out due to drinks being premade. Burgers were again above average, but service made the experience a bust.GM still was exceptionally friendly and made effort to connect with guests which was appreciated - he remembered us from the night before and went out of his way to greet us.0/2, our friends are off to find the next local spot nearby.

Great cocktails! The manager Aemond and Sunny are fantastic, heavy on customer service here!

The restaurant ambiance was stellar, food was amazing, and the cocktails were delicious! Aemond and Sonny really went above and beyond on customer service and enhance the entire experience for us. Great spot for a girls night out!

My boyfriend and I went for a few glasses of wine and oysters since it's nearby our apartment and we wanted to sit on a patio to enjoy the weather. After nearly 20 minutes seated and having ordered & received glasses of wine, we had yet to get any water. After asking our waiter for water, we still didn't receive any until a busser happened to come by and poured us some finally - every single other table received water and a jug of it almost immediately upon seating. A server brought our oysters to the incorrect table, and when he brought them to our table our waiter tried to take them away saying that we had not ordered oysters (we had). The dishes are so shallow for the mignonette so I could barely even add any to my oysters. Then, two other times a server incorrectly tried to bring entrees to our table table that we had not ordered. At no point did our waiter ask us if we were going to order anything else (we weren't, but still) and when he did finally reappear we simply asked for our bill.
