After finding our way to American Fish we were greeted by a hot hostess (a staple in any great Vegas restaurant). The room is decorated to make you feel like you are in small fishing town. The waiter was informative and attentive going through the 4 cooking stations in the kitchen that you can see from the dining room. They will prepare your fish one of 4 ways, cast iron seared, mesquite grilled, sous vide or salt crusted and oven baked. The selection of bourbons is impressive and our server was able to accurately describe and recommend all of them for my brown liquor loving dining companion. I had a Cazadores Margarita which was awesome. We started with the lobster corndogs which were crisp, light and fluffy, the Kobe and abalone shabu shabu and the yellowtail sashimi. Appetizers were awesome. I can’t remember what the others had for main course but I will never forget mine. I had the mustard marinated grilled black cod that I remember reading about in a magazine when I stayed at Hotel32 in December. It was rich and buttery like black cod should be and grilled to perfection. One of the best pieces of fish I have ever eaten. For sides we had the amazing malt vinegar fries and some very undercooked brussel sprouts. Overall it was a great meal in a very nice room with excellent service. Will definitely return for another black cod!

Nice fish joint over par with the offerings found at other Celeb Seafood offering. Fantastic, seafood minded wine list exclaims the possibilities of wine and fish. The appetizers are to die for, including the shellfish which are beautiful and the sahimi which is ocean fresh— accompianed by a tremendous horseradish panacota, best enjoyed with one of their excellent house cocktails.

Entree’s are cooked perfectly with interesting preperation. In fact, it seems the fish here can be prepared a hundred different ways, make sure you understand if your entree is going to be fried, cooked over a charcoal grill, smoked, fried, sauteed, poached, vacu-sealed, etc.

Excellent sides and vegetables.

Service was fine although I expected a bit more friendliness and grace.

Expensive. Reservations a must in advance for the weekends.
