This was my second time dining at Amerigo's. The first time was 3 years ago, when I was celebrating passing the bar exam. This time my husband and I wanted to thank my parents for their support by taking them back to what we remembered to be a good place. However, I was very disappointed.
Our waiter took our appetizer orders and left the menus in our laps. My experience in the past at fine dining establishments is that the waiter take the order for all courses. When our appetizers arrived, we still had out menus. There was not spot on the table to put them. The tuna appetizer my husband and dad shared was wonderful, but the escargot I shared with my mom was overcooked, resembling the texture of a rubber band. The salads were wonderful. Again, my husband and dad loved their entrees (veal), but my mom and I were extremely disappointed with our Snapper Amerigo's. The fish was bland, except for the fishy taste that usually signals old fish. The wild rice was formed into a cylinder, and the entire outside was hard. Only the center was soft rice. The desserts were exceptional, but overall I was disappointed enough to likely not return to again. Oh, and the tab for 4 people was just under $700, an amount I would have been okay with had the food quality been better.
Pros: Wonderful pear salad and dessert
Cons: poor waiter; bland and overcooked fish
