The American Reviews
We ate there tonight for the first time. The food was really good and our server, Lilly, was the best. She was helpful when I told her I am gluten free, she suggested the trout dish. I will 100% suggest it too. If you're in Bainbridge and want some amazing food, you got to try it!
We had a party of nine that traveled about an hour to visit The American. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We shared tastes from each others choices. The comments were all positive and a couple said this is the best meal they could remember anytime anywhere. There were some wanting to make a monthly trip. Exquisite experience.
We have enjoyed The American many times and have always had great food and great service. We enjoy the good size portions and unique, but not odd combinations of flavors. It's a favorite for date night and we look forward to bringing friends along to experience this great place!
