The waiting line was too long at the Oyster Bar at Palace Station, so I ventured across the street to Landry's, hoping to enjoy a late seafood lunch on a piping hot Friday afternoon in Las Vegas. I can't complain about the wait staff, or possibly the cook because staff can only operate with the "tools" at hand. The oyster po' boy was very dry and lacked any character. I was thinking that the oysters were those that couldn't pass muster on the half shell - perhaps on the edge of the "sell-by" date. Perhaps Landry's is positioned as a family restaurant as quite a few diners were younger women with children. Not a problem for me, but add the odd music channel playing overhead at an unnecessarily loud volume and the "sound stew" became a distraction. As a "faded foodie", I must have to up my game on casual dining. The more experience one enjoys and the desire for smaller portions creates certain challenges in a city with plenty of great dining. I won't be returning soon to Landry's. They take their customers for granted.
