| - Best Alaskan King Crab around...period!
The Second Street Bar & Grill is definitely an upscale treasure sitting cozily in the Fremont Hotel & Casino. Quiet, cozy, and the perfect escape from the casino floor. Casual to upscale attire recommended and this wouldn't be a good place if you have kids. It's somewhere people would go to find a cozy quiet dining experience only feet from the casino floor.
The grill specializes in American cuisine with Pacific Rim influence including a unique array of fine dishes including steak, fresh seafood and poultry. As an appetizer we had the Hunan pork and beef lettuce wraps. This could easily have been an entree for 2 on it's own. Flavor is top notch and the portion was huge.
As an entree, I had the Alaskan King Crab legs (38) and it was the largest serving of crab, perfectly served, and the BEST crab I've ever eaten in my life. It was a steal at a $38 market price. The crab stuffed prawns (28) were HUGE and just as filling.
Side dishes, like the salad and baked potato, weren't bad but were average. Dessert, which I barely had room for but couldn't resist, was awesome. I chose the Cheesecake and it was one of the best I have had. Dessert is $4 with purchase of an entree...otherwise it would be $7. Well priced either way.
Our waiter was Tony, who appeared to be the only waiter on shift. Tony and the busboy were perfectly timed and were on top of everything and everyone dining.
Be aware that they seem to only be open after 5pm and they are not open every day...reservations don't appear to be necessary but I'd recommend it if you're going to dine there on a Fri, Sat, or Sun.
Spend-o-meter: expect to spend $100 for 1 app, 2 entrees, dessert, and sodas.
Value: very good
Service: top notch
Negatives: none
