*Let me start off by saying this review is for the lounge only*
After a horrible partial meal at Jaleo, we decided to walk over to the Aria and grab a few drinks. I saw that American Fish had a good happy hour from 5-7 p.m. earlier when I was checking out restaurants. Although we were too late for the happy hour, we decided to go to the lounge since they had some reasonably priced stuff and we had just dropped $100 bucks at Jaleo.
After a bit of a trek through the Aria, we arrived at American Fish. We didn't have to wait, just went right in and sat at the bar. The atmosphere of this place is just what I like, sophisticated without being outdated and relaxing. We had an amazing bartender named Eric who explained the classic cocktail list to us. He was very friendly without being annoying.
We decided to order 3 small plates, the fish and chips, the crab with truffle sauce and the shrimp and grits. They are priced as follows:
1 for $8
2 for $15
3 for $22
4 for $28
There were several other things on the menu that sounded good as well. Although the plates were small, the food was absolutely amazing and well-priced. The fish and chips were cooked to perfection, nice and crispy not greasy and flavorful. The shrimp was juicy and delicious and the grits had a nice tangy cheesy flavor. The crab balls were coated in sesame and even though they were small, you could see all the yummy crab and the black truffle sauce was amazing. We are excited to go back for happy hour when the small plates are $5 and try some more things.
I also want to try a full meal because the menu looked delicious!
