If you have ever been to other Michael Mina establishments, you may be disappointed with American Fish. It is essentially his version of Red Lobster. The food is still decent, but not what you have come to expect from Mina. It is a troubling indicator when the best dish is the lobster pot pie, the signature dish at his other restaurant. Some interpretations of classics seem to miss the mark, such as his cioppino. The joy of a great cioppino is its heartiness with rich sauce that you can't wait to dip your bread into. Here, it is a bit paltry and served from what looks like a creamer and put on top of the seafood as an afterthought. \n\nMac n cheese is not what most people would expect, overflowing cheesiness. Instead, it is more pasta-like with a toss in cheese sauce. I thought it was still good, but it can be a bit surprising. Maybe he should have done it three ways. I know it sounds a bit kinky, but I always seem to enjoy his three ways. The chicken dish was cooked perfectly although it was about as exciting as watching grass grow.\n\nBut the lobster pot pie is still a standout.
