REVIEWS OF Amerikas Restaurant IN Illinois

Suzanne Ehlers

Great night with a local friend. Shared three dishes-- the stuffed poblano, the octopus and the cauliflower-- and each had a perfect cocktail. The food was flavorful and I thought the portions were fine, even though I'm often skeptical about tapas. Chocolate dessert dome is good and fun to watch (i.e., they split a dome of thin chocolate by pouring hot melted chocolate on top) but not the best dessert I've ever had.

Michelle Flowers

Great find! Was recommended by a guest from the hotel we were at and what a wonderful recommendation it was. Four of us got there at 9:30 on a Monday night (they close at 10) was welcomed and treated with great service by Kathleen. We had never been there before and even it was late she never rushed us and took the time to describe almost everything on the menu to us. After trying about six different dishes which were all very very good she suggested dessert and we choose the Chocolate Dome oh my! Take the time to try this great local eatery. Wonderful food and great service will sure to put a smile on your face

John Choi

Attentive staff. Reasonable prices. Every dish was outstanding. Perfectly cooked and seasoned.

Theresa Le

Everything we ordered was amazing! Highly recommend the pulpo with chorizo dish, and the hummus, but we were with a large group and got to order a good variety off the menu. I was really impressed every dish was so delicious.

Corey McCray

Really GOOD food.

Nathan the Trombonist

Fantastic food and service, but I feel that portions are too small.

Michael Lavery

Top notch in food and service. Options for vegetarians, pescatarians, and meat lovers!

One of our new favorite restaurants in the area. They do everything well. The polpo is a must. Some of the best I've had.

Great food and service, but a little on the pricey side for OP

Patrick Boehnke

This place is amazing. The food is absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend the cauliflower and the pork belly. Both were fantastic.

Chris

We absolutely enjoyed the dining experience at Ametikas. Each dish offered mind blowing gastronomic delights and the wait staff were just wonderful. Be prepared to spend some $$ but we think it's totally worth every penny.

Ed Jepson

I have been here twice. Very interesting and eclectic menu. This is a great place for sharing. Excellent duck, the best chili relleno I have had. You will like it.

Kristina Adamczewski

Very good Latin American fusion restaurant. The seafood is spectacular and the Rucula salad was delicious. Good service, definitely make a reservation since it's a small place that fills up.

Now this is great Mexican food. I never used door dash till today. Was expecting my food cold but hey that's what microwaves are for right? Not with this place. Food came really hot and everything had flavor from the beans, rice and the meat. Guacamole was also very tasty. Door dash driver was very nice. Eating right now and I might order for dinner or even come in. Damn this is good.. I would recomend this place. And trust me I'm a very picky eater..

Adam Kotniewicz

This place was a total surprise. The food is great, the service was great, the location is worthy of going out of your way for a great meal. So good. The portions are the right size. Be sure that you have room saved for the desserts.

Outstanding. Brunch was sooo good. Went with large party and everyone loved their food. Service was impeccable. Loved it! I can't wait to go back.

Scott Taylor

My wife and I have been here twice and we have very impressed. Everything we have ordered has been phenomenal. I never thought I would rave about cauliflower but you have GOT to try the Coliflor! Run, don't walk to Amerikas Restaurant.

Ashley Briggance

I enjoyed the food here and was pleased with the service. Our server Paco was very attentive and made good recommendations. The sweet pea soup starter was a pleasant surprise and also very delicious. I tried the barramundi fish dish and enjoyed it, although the portion was small. Overall a good restaurant, I will come back here and I would recommend.

alex nye

Great food, lots of flavor, good service. Update (4/10/19): mussel are amazing. Lamb chops we're mediocre

Christine DiGilio

Get the Cauliflower!!!!!

Alex Cleveland

Amazing staff here who are really invested in the quality of the dishes and the dining experience. Everything we ordered was beautiful and unique and the drinks were also fantastic. The decor is intimate and warm with a lot of energy. I highly recommend this place as both a date night location and a gathering place for family and friends!

Daniel Conners

Pleasant surprise tonight. Very inventive cuisine.

Brandon Turner

Cozy atmosphere, even outside. Even though the restaurant front to the street was small in downtown oak park, they had done a lot with it. Easy to imagine that if it was nicer weather, dining outside would be enjoyable. Inside was much the same. Tastefully decorated, nothing overbearing on the eyes, and comfortable to be in even though the place was quite full and a bit noisy. We were greeted quickly by our waiter and we ordered drinks.... which he just as quickly forgot. Not that he forgot our drinks, he forgot speaking to us about them all together. He was apologetic, and drinks arrived quickly. The quality of the drinks was lacking quite a bit. Watered down, and the cosmo appeared to be nothing more than juice with crushed ice. Let’s try wine next time. But the next time our waiter forgot our drinks again. The waiter explained that the dishes were smaller plates, and designed to be shared. First was the hummus with a rolled up homemade tortilla. We can’t begin to describe how delicious this hummus was. Slightly spicy, and so savory. We had saved every last little bit to eat with our next dishes. Next was scallops served with black rice in a creamy white sauce. This was another high point in our meal. A taste that was a bit unfamiliar... we couldn’t quite put our fingers on what it tasted like but what a combination of flavor and texture! It was amazing I tell you .. incredible! Edible art! My wife says the night after she went to sleep not thinking about me, our children, our dogs, bills, the house, no... she laid awake in bed thinking if the scallops and rice. I'm jealous. Next was the duck breast. Which came in what I would call “thanksgiving style”, and I may just be saying that because it came with cranberry sauce on top. The meat was perfectly cooked, sliced, and presented. Wasn’t quite Jessica’s cup o tea, but I found it to be tender and quite good. The 4th and final dish was the asada steak. The steak had an odd presentation. Served over two large tomato slices, and underneath a pile of very thinly sliced frites. All of these were good separate, but not together. Overall a positive experience with very interesting food. A place we will be returning to.

Ramiro Loeza

They did very well accommodating us for a guest with food allergies. Thank you.

Amilia Cruz

Food was fantastic! A little loud for atmosphere but after the 6 person party next to us left, it was better.

Jose Elera

The menu might seem a little "simple" for the uninitiated but that impression will be proven wrong as soon as you take your first bite. Coming from a passionate meat eater; the vegetarian options, like Coliflor, were simply amazing. Octopus is a hard one to get right, since if the cephalopod isn't fresh and overcooked, it can be chewy mess. Well, not here. Pulpo was to die for, the seasoning was perfect; the potatoes and chorizo complemented a expertly cooked octopus. The price is right, and you will be satisfied that you spend your hard earned money in an amazing food experience.

Adam Slaker

Wonderful small plate food. You can tell the chef really cares about providing the best experience possible. Our favorite place in Oak Park!

Lauren Schramp Castro

Fabulous food, simple and warm vibe, fun cocktails and great service. Can't wait to return!

Susan Coleman

Come ready to eat and drink. Definitely a place for sharing fabulous food. The asada was really good as well as the cauliflower. We ordered it twice. Loved the margaritas.

Gerald Thomas

Nice atmosphere and somewhat friendly staff. The food is OK.

Christopher Reid

I'll definitely be back. Food was really good here. Service was not the greatest from our server, but we still left happy.

Bryan Cleal

Creative food, expertly prepared. The pork chop and octopus dishes are the best in the area

Tamala Daniels

Amazing Food

Van Heyer

The food was absolutely incredible, I went with my coworkers and we split almost every dish on the menu. They brought out each dish one at a time which was the perfect pace and it was some of the best food I've ever had.

Wendy Cid

Excellent food , drinks and service

Kimberley Hawkinson

This is the best place I could ever have celebrated my birthday. A friend of a friend who had been there before suggested it. The food was phenomenal, the service even better, and to top it off a woman at the next table even sang Happy birthday to me also. Don't know who she was but it made it even more special!! Cuddos to the staff at this restaurant, who all made the dining experience one I will remember !! I suggest what we did, order different dishes and all share. One dish was better than the next. If it we're possible I would buy stock in this place. Oh cuddos also to the chefs and management!!

Erik Lunde

Great tasting food, beautifully prepared, but a bit pricey for the quantity of food you get with your order. The service is also great, but the atmosphere does not stand out.

Bryce Allen

Amazing cocktails by Luis and super creative dishes to share, including great vegetarian options.

Cesar Loeza

Awesome food, attended our allergy inquiries, very good service, and the chef treated us with a special dessert for the special occasion

Dante Pimentel

Excellent food, Everything is good!!!!

Sean Lowry

Great food and great service!

Camila Barrero

So good, this is one of the best places in town!

Carrie Von Hoff

Nice, yummy, great location

Mishal Greenwood

Excellent food. The carrot soup was so delicious we ordered another one after our first bowl. Great service as well!

Greg Sanders

Very good food and wonderful presentation. They recommend choosing two dishes, since portions are on the small side -- though one will be enough for many customers. Atmosphere is comfortable and service is nice. Beer list is well-chosen. (Also many wines and other drinks, but I'm not qualified to judge them.)

Davester

All I can say is that if I lived in Oak Park I would go to this restaurant once a week, it's that good!

Tiffany Auxier

Excellent service. Nice portions. Unique spin on classic dishes. Tasty drinks and reasonable prices.

Florence Arwade

Excellent service and absolutely delicious. Small plates menu is perfect for sharing and reasonable prices. Would go there often.

Terry Farrell

Expensive but every bite exceeded our expectations. Wines were also excellent. Oh how we hope the business survives. Like many Oak Park restaurants poor parking.

Tanis Mesa

Nice, cheap, quick

Danil Khrustov

Great place with great food. Portions made to share.

Douglas Sawyer

Authentic flavors done by a chef that really knows what he is doing. Food was excellent, and service great. Stumbled upon it Sunday during brunch. Portions were big, and presentation fantastic. Best Michelada I've had in a long time. Most places don't know how to really make them, owner took great pride in his for good reason.

Austin Greenwood

The food here was fantastic. Everything was interesting and unique. This is by no means standard fare. I wish Amerikas was in my hometown!

Charles Gottlieb

Great brunch! Love the art

Anthony Harris

Fine dining and an attentive staff.

Jiratt Phonlapat

Former team from libertad. Exactly the same menu not much new. Must try whole branzino al mojo de ajo and skirt steak. Pretty good cocktails but uncomfortable bar seats and too high countertop.

Sheila Atkins

As a vegetarian I had choices, albeit limited, but choices, the hummus and bread were delicious

Janet Ancy

Really wanted to post photos but the second the food arrived the aroma was intoxicating & I just had to taste it. Started with the chipotle hummus, it is unlike anything I've ever tried. The flavors are so complementary. Then had the scallops, OMG!! Cooked to perfection with the best habenero butter cream sauce!!! Then had the pork chop, again cooked to perfection - flavorful & juicy. Finished off with their take on banana cream pie with caramelized bananas. I will be back!!!!!

Yolanda Garcia

The food was delicious and the chef came out to personally ask how we liked the food and service.

Lisa Spengler

Delicious! Be sure to try the chocolate bomb.

Samuel Wonsover

Wow. The food here is amazing. 2 friends and i ordered many dishes and shared them all. Everything from the hummus to the pork chops were all created with lots of attention and love. Will be back soon

Tim DeMarco

Loved everything. Scallops, octopus, asada, duck, and the banana pie dessert was one of the best desserts I've had in a long time.

jessica martin

I've eaten here twice and had an outstanding experience both times. In my opinion, it's the best restaurant in Oak Park! Perfectly balanced, fresh cocktails as well.

Joe Cunningham

We had reservations for 11:30 and we were the only table in the place - and we were worried! Those worries were completely erased once we got our food! Each dish was delicious!! We were trying the eating a specific diet and the waitress and kitchen were totally accommodating!! We will definitely be back when we are back in the area!

David T. Kindler

Very good food and a great variety. Wish there were a few fully vegan options, but the vegetarian ones were excellent.
