About us
Modern American cuisine on the water.
On the shore of Lake Jacqueline in Desert Shores, Chef-owner Stephen Blandino cooks a seasonal menu rooted in classical French technique and shaped by the many cultures behind American cooking. Each plate starts with peak-season ingredients and is finished with precision: refined sauces, bright acidity and contrast in every bite.
Before opening Americana in 2016, Chef Blandino cooked at Aureole and Charlie Palmer Steak. Today the kitchen serves lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch, with a lakeside patio, a full bar and private dining for celebrations, weddings and corporate events.
