We ended up here after looking over most of the menus in Aria. First - Aria...holy crap - really amazing and beautiful. Natural elements combined with top notch craftsmanship and design of the highest order makes this place a sight to see in Vegas. Made everything else seem so tacky. I know - not a stretch.
So - we chose American Fish based on price and the mere fact that we all wanted to fish. The place is bathed in low light with birch trees set behind the bar. Service was top notch from an attentive yet not pushy server. She handed us menus on wood. Yes - wood. So cool...went along with the whole natural elements theme that Aria shared with everything in this space. Started out with cocktails from their very interesting menu. I got a drink that was called "The Drink With No Name". All alcohol - drink slow. My fellow diners all enjoyed cocktails as well. I order the poached salmon. Their menu is offered poached, grilled, salt baked and one other but I can't remember. I liked that - interested and varied. So - back to the salmon. Cooked perfectly surrounded by a light saffron broth; not too filling and just the right size. We also ordered sides of cauliflower gratin and pommes frites. Both the perfect accompaniment. Wish I could follow-up with the dessert but we passed a gelato bar on the way in so it was imperative that we saved room. I would come back - absolutely. The price was fair - for Las Vegas standards.
