| - Living up to its name, it is actual bar seating with oysters. Imagine a bar, but with no continuous drone of voices, much better lighting, great food instead of alcohol (although they do serve beer and wine, I believe), and guests feeling much different from the consumption.
This is one of several locations scattered around Las Vegas. We decided to visit this one at the Hard Rock Hotel since it was located near the day spa where we had appointments. This happened to be in the early afternoon on a Sunday. This particular area seemed to be the most happening part of the casino at that time.
The staff consisted of 3 front-of-house members (one server, one head chef, one assistant) who all assisted each other in duties, and there were 2 or 3 back-of-house members who prepared other items on the menu as well as tending to other things like dishware and ice. Overall, they did a great job, as the constant flow of customers keeps them moving.
Your meal starts with house-made chips, which are a lot more delicious than I anticipated. We ended up getting at least a second helping of those!
We ordered some oysters before our entrees (had to!) Amazingly fresh, and freshly shucked. I'm not an oyster connoisseur, but they were absolutely fine by me.
I had the gumbo, which consisted of sausage, free-range chicken, fried okra, and a side of steamed rice. It was hearty. The temperature and the spice both have the potential to clear sinuses. I love every aspect of it. I highly recommend this item over the others on the menu, honestly.
Service was great. Everything was kept up on schedule, and the staff did a good job schmoozing with the clientele in the process.
The only downside is that they only seat up to 18 people at a time. When we got there, a group of 9 were already and were split among the available space out of necessity. They also have a sort of honor system where they just simply have to remember and recognize whoever is next to be seated. So, anybody who walks up has almost no idea who is queued up.
Parking: Free in the structure.
FYI:
- If you see nobody in line, that DOES NOT necessarily mean you're at the front next to be seated. The wait can be as long as about a half hour, and that's a long time to stand. So, if someone suddenly gets seated before you out of nowhere, it's because they got there before you did.
- Surprisingly, this is a great meal to have even before going to a spa!
