| - The first time I came to SeaBlue was mid-2010, I think. My posse was up in one of our suites, waiting on the girls to get ready. I sat down and had some oysters. Then some more. And then some more. Man, those were some good oysters!
Eventually, I decided to just order dinner - it was some kind of tastings menu? I remember chopped sashimi, pine nuts, vinegrette, a few other things. It was fantastic and I made a mental note to make sure I came back the next time I was in Vegas.
Fast-forward to a couple of weeks ago. Back at the MGM Sig again, with a date and some friends. Back to SeaBlue, which was unfortunately no longer doing the tastings set. No big, surely the rest of their dinner menu would be of equal quality! We ordered several appetizers - four different ones, as I recall. They were tiny (a bite-ish per appetizer, maybe 4 to a plate), and not terribly flavorful. This includes the mini lobster things.
When dinner came by, I had some kind of fish stew served over rice, which was mediocre at best. My buddy Charlie had their steak and it looked okay; his wife had some kind of Firecracker Lobster, and it looked pretty good?
When it comes down to it, it just wasn't worth the money spent - there are far better restaurants in Vegas. They did have a nice variety of oysters, so I suppose I'd recommend you chill at the bar and have some oysters and a beer, but don't bother with the meals.
If you want sushi/sashimi I would recommend Social House, but I have not been to their new location in the Aria. It was absolutely glorious when still housed in Treasure Island.
