Oyster Bar is a no doubt a hidden gem in Las Vegas, from what I heard there's an another location in Harrah's but price is higher and probably more crowded since is in the strip. One thing I really hate is not the restaurant itself but the location. The casino cigarette smell is very strong and almost unbearable.
Our group came here in a weeknight, there is only two group before us but the waiting was over 30 minutes long. There are maybe around 20 seating at top of that the cooking expect to take another 20 or 30 minutes. The bar setting is a kitchen like those in a ramen shop except you can see the whole kitchen. Food was careful prepare and you see they not rushing make your food and really take their time and not to avoid short cuts.
Pan Roast and some other dish there is a charge of $5 extra per person if the food is been shared, and you cannot do takeout either. However, you can take back the food if can't finish it. They gave you dining roll, which are warm and soft. We only order two item, one is the full serving of Oyster and the second one is the Combo Pan Roast.
The oyster was fresh and mouthwatering, juicy and you can really tasted the flavor. It was day and night quality compare to the oyster found in Bacchanal Buffet. The Pan Roast was delicious and was well balance in term of the soup; it wasn't heavily tomato flavor, the soup come with lobster, crab, and shrimp. There was little bit of lobster meat, and decent amount of crab, but the shrimp won me over, it was good quality.
The price is far cheaper than the Harrah location but with more limited selection. What it matter is the quality of food is not compromise here. So if you are tired of eating of buffet, this would gave you a totally different taste bud. Just aware expect a wait and the atmosphere is not as pleasant.
