| - Wow.... I was SO sure I had already written a review on this place....
So, Oyster Bar... what can I say that hasn't already been said? Probably not much.
FIRST off, get over the fact that its located inside the Palace Station Casino. That threw me for a loop the first time I went, but I easily got over it after the first spoonful of food.
SECOND, get over the fact that the seating is literally A BAR and very limited.
THIRD, get over the wait. Ok, wait, let me rephrase. If its 12-15 people deep, forget it and come back at 8am. However, if only a handful, wait. It's SO worth it.
I read the reviews and came here first with my cousin. She wanted seafood I was game. Though when I figured out what casino it was I was hesitant. When I walked into the old casino I was like, oh geez... are we gonna get food poisoning? However, we waited in line. After about 40 minutes she and I were starving and ready to give up. And the girl in front of us turned around and said it was worth the wait. So.... given we had waited this long already we waited some more.
Pan roast...wtf is a pan roast? I though it was a roast of beef or something. Clueless I was! We shared a combo pan roast, number 5 on spicy scale and a dozen oysters. Sure... so I thought these massively large oysters were ridiculously altered genetically, but they were fresh and delicious....so I chomped my way through those.
What can I say about the rest of the meal??? Um.. the first time I went here I was dizzy from elation. I mean it looks like a tomatoey, cream based soup if nothing else.... but it is delectable!
Went back to Vegas for Christmas after that visit and I dragged my unhappy husband there for lunch. We tried to go the night before but at 1130pm, there was a retardedly long line which I estimated would not be a happy wait. I was afraid too that our group would give out and end up at Subway around the corner! So... lunchtime... grumbling husband about how this better be good....
We each got our separate soups (how greedy, huh). I got the combo pan roast, level 5, he got the etoufee, level 6 (Silly boy). They were both yummy, but because the etoufee was too hot for us, we had to keep switching bowls to let the other person's mouth cool down. Our group didn't come with us for this lunch...so they insisted on coming the next day. Fast forward next day... at 830am we get there and voila, NO ONE. Not one person was there, no line, nothing. We sat right in the middle and the 4 of us proceeded to order our food. As we were waiting for our stews to cook, all of the sudden the whole place was full of diners... lol. So we figure the magic hour is between 8am and 9am. The place is open 24 hours so you can experiment however you wish.
Hubby came back a month later for a conference.... dragged a couple more of his coworkers to eat here. He tells me with glee that it was awesome. OF COURSE IT WAS! They are consistently good, always! Bob cooked for us twice when we were in Vegas and I wish we could just package this stuff and take it home with us. Wish they'd ship across the country. Even if not exactly like the real thing, I'd even take something that comes close!
Go and try... you won't regret it.
