It had been over a year since I dined at Amerigo’s Grille in the Woodlands, and I will return long before that much time passes again. It was always one of my favorite restaurants, even though it is tucked a little out of the way. When a group of us decided to get together again in The Woodlands, someone suggested Amerigo’s, and we all agreed to meet there for cocktails and dinner. \r
I called and made the reservation and right there I remembered why I love this place. The lady who took my reservation was professional and very courteous. When we arrived at the bar for cocktails, the piano was playing and the ambiance was outstanding. The bartender, Art, seduced my wife with one of his Chocolate Martinis and the rest of us poured over a first class wine list. We had glasses of wine and caught up with the managers Sean and Justin and it was like old home times for all of us. \r
When they took us to our table, the setting was beautiful and this restaurant continues to be one of the most romantic places and just plain friendly that you have to see it to believe it. Our waiter, Chad, took control over a rather loud table and explained Chef Arturo’s specials for the night. We had halibut, marinated rack of lamb, and something not on the menu but the regulars know about, a boar chop. We had their famous Brata Salad, and like something you remember from the past it was as delicious as we all remembered. When the entrees arrived we all dove in and all we did was ooh and ah about how delicious everything was. \r
Chef Arturo is still a genius with his food. Everyone has to try this place it is unbelievable. If you want professional service coupled with tons of personality then this is the place for you. I am going back really soon. \r
Pros: Was Always Great and Getting Better
Cons: I don't go often enough
