"The move at Americana is to request a table outside. Year-round, the ample patio seating with white tablecloth place settings faces the manmade lake, offering glimpses of kayaking neighbors and the hummingbirds and dragonflies that frequent the waterside greenery. Throw back a cocktail and oysters on the half-shell al fresco or with a table in the dining room by the expansive windows." - Janna Karel
