| - I never would have ventured to Palace station, let alone Oyster bar had my school not set me up to stay the weekend here for a school/work thing. But my fate was in good hands. Our first night at Palace station we wandered the hotel to see what goodies it had to offer. I noticed the small, but crowded Oyster bar and the corresponding line. Checked it out on Yelp, and decided I would have a meal here before the weekend was over.
On my last day, the bf and I had the pleasure of dining here. We shared a combo pan roast and had a half dozen oysters. Oysters were shucked in front of our very eyes and were delicious, fresh, and succulent. There is a decent wait for the pan roast which explains the constant line here. Each order is individually cooked (or should I say roasted) in this contraption thingy. I don't have a better explanation for what that thing is so you'll just have to come and see it for yourself! It is a very entertaining process to watch. The pan roast had a mix of seafood and has a tomato-bisque-like taste, but think more creamy, more melt-in-your-mouth goodness. One bowl was more than enough for sharing. Although I may have been seen licking my bowl at the end, and that's only because I couldn't get enough.
Our waitress was delightful and pretty comical. She suggested an extra scoop of rice since we were sharing the pan roast, an excellent suggestion on her part. I'll have to remember to come here again the next time I'm in Vegas since it is a bit off the beaten path. I really just wanted to use that phrase. Well really this is a good 10-15 minutes west of the strip, definitely a cab ride or short drive away from an excellent meal!
