American Fish is Chef Michael Mina's seafood offering at the Aria Resort and Casino.
We liked this meal, but, while solid, it was nothing particularly special. A four-course meal for $79 was a decent deal, though.
First Course A: Oysters, Bloody Mary, mignonette.
First Course B: Tuna tartare, wild arugula, quail egg, pine nuts, Castelvetrano olives.
Second Course A: Manhattan clam chowder, oyster crackers, crispy pork belly.
Second Course B: Shrimp and grits, jalapeño, Serrano ham.
Third Course A: Boneless New York, creamed mushrooms, cauliflower, marbled potatoes.
Side of Brussels sprouts.
Third Course B: Mediterranean branzino, squid ink risotto, saffron sauce, red wine artichokes, arugula.
Fourth Course A: Valrhona chocolate custard, red velvet cake, pecans, cocoa nib ice cream.
Fourth Course B: Mascarpone cheesecake, huckleberries, vanilla crust.
Great space. Great service. Good food. Just not great food.
