Americana Kitchen is the urban meeting point in Coral Gables – a place to eat, drink and socialize – whether on special occasions or to celebrate simpler everyday affairs. The restaurant name encapsulates the dining experience inside – a true all-American destination. The venue consists of three distinct spaces: the main dining room with its open kitchen, the intimate lounge, and the lively circle bar. The bar crafts classic cocktails with the sound of all-American singers wafting through the restaurant to evoke a bygone era of true American dining.
