| - i just had a 2.5 hour dinner here, and the 1.5 hr i spent was waiting in a crazy "short but slow" line! It's all because there are only 20 seats max., it's really like the size of a bar. and usually when you wait for that long in line, you will take ur time and slowly enjoy your food, talk and chill afterwards to make ur waiting time worthwhile.
I would've left because there's really nothing much around, it's in a casino called Palace Station that i've never heard of before, away from the strip, and it's a super tiny place that you can easily skip if you don't see the line. Good thing they're open 24 hrs now, waiting for 1.5 hrs wasn't too bad cuz you still see more people waiting for another hr behind you and telling you that it's soo worth the wait.
i guess they're right, i dun think it's really "to die for" but i think it's a very good experience, nice and fresh food made to order infront of you. Service was also very good, it was worth the wait.
After debating on wat to order, we went with the house gumbo and combo pan roast, which both have very similar ingredients (lobster, crab, and shrimp). The difference between all these dishes is the sauce/soup. The pan roast is much creamier and sweeter. the gumbo is more salty and it has a strong taste of cajun/creole flavor. They are both served with a scoop of white rice. We got both at level 5 of spiciness which is like medium spicy, but i didn't think it was spicy at all, should've went with a 7 or something.
i personally liked the house gumbo better even though most other reviews recommended the pan roast. i thought the pan roast was a little too creamy and heavy for me, it almost made me wanna throw up. despite that, the food was really good. You see everything that they put in the pot, so u know exactly what you're putting in ur stomach. The quality of the seafood are really good, shrimps were big, crab meat flooded in the soup, and you can actually see the chunks of lobster. if you're a seafood lover, you'll love this place.
I would definitely come back here again, but next time i'll probably order a cioppino. Overall everything is good here, only that if i am a health freak, i wouldn't eat here because you see everything that they put in the pot. My eyes popped when i saw that "BIG" chuck of gumbo base that they put in each pot, it was seriously bigger than my fist. But if not, just pretend u didn't see anything and enjoy the delicious food.
