| - Looking for eating options in Vegas and I can not tell you how STOKED I was to see this pop up on my yelp feed. I tried Joe's Stone Crab in Miami, Florida and it was probably one of my most memorable restaurant experiences. This is their sister restaurant. AND NOW I HAVE ONE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE US! Ok, it's not quite in LA...but it's doable. It's slightly hard to find if you're starting from the Caesar's casino, but it's worth the long walk. Made a reservation for lunch with my family at 11:30am (their opening time) and was seated very promptly.
Service was amazing and the waiter was helpful and hilarious. The staff really seemed like they were all very well trained and enjoyed working there and it created an awesome atmosphere for us to enjoy. And the food came out QUICK! I love and appreciate fast service because ain't nobody got time to be hangry.
Now on to the food:
BREAD: You get an assortment of bread. Our basket included a variety of about five different types including a traditional dinner roll, onion roll, pretzel bread, and bacon & ciabatta. Load up on the carbs (:
HOT CHOCOLATE: It was so delicious. None of that watered down hot chocolate nonsense found here. Really satisfied my craving for hot chocolate and their whip cream is freshly home-whipped. YUM!
CRAB BISQUE: The size difference jumps a lot from cup to bowl. I love their presentation. You're first served with a bowl with crab bits and stuff in the middle and then the server pours the bisque all over it. I don't know if they do that for the cups, but it is a nice touch. Flavor is nothing short of what I expected.
MEDIUM STONE CRAB: Our waiter recommended us to get two orders of this (vs. a jumbo order with less claws) for our party of seven so we each could get two claws. You still have to take off the shell of the crab, but they pre-crack it for you so it's almost like peeling a boiled egg shell. A MUST ORDER while eating here.
JUMBO ALASKAN KING CRAB LEGS: Ugh this was amazing! Another MUST ORDER!! The meat was easy to slide out and it had a sweet scrumptious taste to it. Dip that into the mustard or butter sauce and it's pretty mindblowing. Too good!!
COLOSSAL LUMP CRAB CAKE: This was the only dish that we ordered that I could have lived without. It was good, but I just felt like it was a tad bit on the extra fried side to me.
ALASKAN KING CRAB ROLL: I will totally order this again. It's a perfect order of seafood, if you don't want to over order or go over budget haha. They stuff the roll with fresh crab meat and it comes with a side of their homemade chips (which are pretty much perfection).
SEAFOOD CHOPPED SALAD: This is also perfect if you're feeling full already. This salad comes with the Alaskan Crab, Lobster, and Shrimp on top of salad with a vinaigrette. It's so good. Like wow good. Wow.
WILD MUSHROOM MAC & CHEESE: It is most definitely on the cheesy side and it's freaking delicious. One side order is worth sharing because it's a lot to finish, but it's worth a try to all the cheese lovers out there.
KEY LIME PIE: THE ONLY key lime pie I've ever liked was at the Joe's in Miami. And they serve it just as good here. It's pretty freaking awesome and you're either an idiot for not ordering it (or you're too full haha). Just kidding that was mean...but it's really yummy!
I can't rave about this place enough. One of my favorite restaurants ever and you have to come and splurge a little bit here.
SIDENOTE: You can order from their dinner menu for lunch if you're interested! (:
