| - My wife and I stopped by on a Monday night at 8:30. The restaurant is seat yourself and was about 90% full. But we found two empty seats at the bar. There were many things that caught my eye including the large display of oysters on ice, the flat screens showing an NBA game which I had some action on, and a fully stocked bar. But what captured me was the saute station which you don't see at the Stations' Oyster Bars.
The station was in a frenzy and the gentleman manning the station was running at least 7-10 tickets deep. I would typically order something from the steamer section, but I wanted something from saute, so I ordered the pan-seared Scottish salmon ($23). With a great vantage point, I watched my order from the time he pulled the ticket until it the ticket was sold. My man came through. Crispy salty skin, moist flaky, fall apart meat, and firm, seasoned asparagus on the side. I'll assume the rest of the dishes from the station were executed just as well.
Also ordered were a dozen blue point oysters ($23, they have other varieties if you should choose) and clams with red sauce ($17, pasta is extra). Both were delicious. Service was excellent at the bar. I'll be back to try some of the steamer dishes to compare to our standard. Even though it's a longer haul to the Strip, this place has the potential to take over as our new go to oyster bar.
