While you're sitting and sipping your drink at the Old Santa Fe Lounge, you'll feel like you're in some modern-day Hollywood movie. The modern yet dimly-lit ambiance and furnishings will allow you to not only relax and forget your hectic workweek, but it will transport you to another time and place. You'll forget you're in Amarillo when you look around and see the perfectly groomed waitstaff and equally alluring crowd that frequents the Santa Fe. All that's missing from this gem on the nightlife scene is you.
Are you looking for an elegant place to have dinner but don't want the elegant price tag? Then make your way to OHMS Cafe and Bar. You will be pleasantly surprised by the impressive menu that includes such favorites as rib-eye steaks, New York strip and elk tenderloin that are as delicious as they sound. There's also pan-seared salmon, herb baked chicken and lamb chops that will satisfy any healthy appetite. The wine list and dessert selection are equally inviting, and add to that an interesting, inviting atmosphere and expert service, you've got Amarillo's most sophisticated place to dine.
No matter what the season may be, there is always something fun to do or discover at the Amarillo Botanical Gardens. The beautiful landscape that features a winding walking path is punctuated by benches that invite you to sit for awhile and reflect on the beautiful flowers and trees that inhabit this outdoor oasis. Also, you can enjoy various concerts, classes, and special presentations that are scheduled every month. The Amarillo Botanical Garden is without question the city's crown jewel of natural beauty.
