| - Old-style class. This was a really pleasant experience for me. It was not a gourmet, elegant type of experience but it was welcoming, satisfying and relaxing. My waitress, Patricia, was so sweet. In fact, all of the staff were, including Patricia's assistant, Hiwot (forgive me for the spelling if it is wrong). 3 kinds of bread were served: I think it was sourdough, a cracker bread, and a scrumptious pretzel bread with 3 kinds of whipped butter. I started with a lovely glass of Cabernet and Oysters Rockefeller. The oysters were prepared with a generous amount of spinach (the way I like them), bread crumbs, cheese, and bernaise. Superb, a meal in themselves. I then chose the King Crab legs. The meal came with a salad which was mostly iceberg but had a nice mix of greens and arugula. It was really good. (Iceberg is all the rage, you know, now that it's been elevated with the wedge). Dressing was home-made and packed full with blue-cheese. Choice of potatoe included as well. Now you can't go wrong with crab, but what I so appreciated about the crab here was they split the legs in half so the meat was easily accessible. It was a simply delicious, unpainful and clean process. All I had to do was dip it in clarified butter. 2 pounds for $58 (market price) and the oysters were $12. More spendy than the Buffet but, hey its also about getting served, right? And you can't take buffet home. I had plenty of leftovers for my morning breakfast. Most of the customers here were locals ordering prime rib, saying it was the best deal and best tasting in Las Vegas. Go where the locals go, I say :-)
