| - No Thank you.
I was taking some colleagues out to Michael MIna restaurants all week. We were very impressed with his other two restaurants at Mandalay Bay and the Bellagio. On our last night, we wrapped up our conference and headed out to American Fish.
This restaurant is nothing near the enjoyable experiences we had at the previous Michael Mina restaurants.
The hostess was very nice and welcomed us. We went to the bar for a few drinks. After being shunned by the bartender for twenty minutes we asked to be seated. Apparently the bartender was two busy taking care of his 5 friends, than to tend to us.
At the table it took some 15 minutes for our server to finally bring us menus. It took another 15 minutes for bread and water. After another 15 minutes our server takes our order.
Our first course came out in a reasonable amount of time. My friend had a salad, I had the tuna tartare. At this point we were starving. My friends salad looked like they dumped a ton of dressing on it, but she said it was fine. I had such high expectations for the tuna tartare. The previous Michael Mina restaurants delivered such delicious flavors, and with the name American Fish I would expect even better tuna tartare. My first bite was enough. The tartare was bland and the texture was mushy. I had my friend try it and she had a look on her face that said yuck. I didn't eat more than two bites out of it. We called the server over, but she got called over by the table next to us and they didn't like what they had been served. By the time she got back, I let her know that I wasn't too happy with the tartare and we were done with the first course.
Now on to the main course, we both ordered Lobster Wellington. It was the most expensive item on the menu and we were looking forward to it. When it was ready, the server made a big show of it before taking it to the back to be carved. After our plates were in front of us, we looked forward to a good meal. Once again, the first bite says it all. The lobster was rubbery. The flavor of it tasted like bad sea water. We tried all the side dishes that came with it and they were just as bad. The potatoes were rock hard and the spinach was bitter. I quickly called our server over and asked for our check. I didn't want to make a scene, so I asked if we could pay.
She called the manager over and they offered us some complimentary dessert. Now I ask you, if you've been served a bad appetizer and a bad main dish, why would you want to try another dish from the same restaurant???? The manager said we should have let them know the food wasn't very good. I think I did when I said I wanted to pay my check and the food in front of me is barely touched. In the end, the manager only charged us for the drinks. I recommend you stay away from American Fish if you are a Michael Mina fan. His other restaurants on the Vegas strip are better examples of his work. If you're going to charge the same prices as the other Michael MIna restaurants, then I expect the same quality. American Fish is just an insult to Michael MIna's name. If you don't believe me, go look at the menu, the Lobster Wellington has been removed.
