Wednesdays for seniors means  1/2 point dining at Stations Casinos so we made our way to Sunset Station's oyster bar.  The restaurant was near capacity, but we managed to find 2 seats at the counter.  My wife ordered bouillabaisse while I chose the cioppino. The primary difference between these 2 stews is the broth with mine being pommodoro-based and hers seafood enhanced by saffron. Both included unusually large shrimp, New Zealand mussels, white fish, a mahogany clam or two, and small crab legs. We were not tempted by the accompanying rice or dinner rolls.
Review Source:One of my new favorite places to eat, have been here everyweek this month, my favorite is the shrimp linguine and clam clowers my husbands eats the boillebesse and some oysters he also loves it. Take cook right at the bar. The guys there are super friendly.
I forgot to mention has delicious the banana foster is, but i would ask for the ice cream on the side.
This will be place we frequently visit..
I love this place for decent priced seafood in Las Vegas. Â I use to come here as a kid and I always get the same thing. Â A cup of the New England clam chowder and 1lb of the peel and eat shrimp, cold. The shrimp is always delicious and fresh tasting and there is a ton of clams in the chowder. Â I enjoy sitting at the bar to watch them make pasta dishes and what not.
Review Source:I really enjoyed my first time here. Â The atmosphere is almost pure brilliance, with small waterfalls surrounding the cave exterior that you can enjoy while you eat at the simple white table clothed seating areas. Â Â While it is located within Sunset Station casino, you don't feel like you're just shoved into the corner of a smokey casino. Â This place does a great job of making you feel like you are at a restaurant all of it's own.
Friendly service, and just great food. Â I'd highly recommend ordering the pan roast, it's well worth the price. Â Great undeniable flavor and its very filling. Â The chefs also make the food right in plain view at the bar, where there is also seating.
Take yourself a date, enjoy the candle light and waterfalls, and have a great night at dinner.
You can find standard oyster platters elsewhere, but the kettle specialties here are... well, the specialty, with distinct regional flavors and good seafood. Get one of the kettle specialties and some peel-and-eat shrimp for big servings of big flavor. You can customize the spice level (1-10) and you can choose what seafood you'd like to have in the dish. It'd probably be best to share an order, or be prepared to take some home! The bowls are not incredibly fancy, and they're not any less delicious for that; it's all warm, comforting, filling food.
The establishment is a bit small and not quite spacious or well-lit enough to be comfortable, but the service makes up for that. The staff are incredibly attentive and friendly despite busy evenings, and they give good, honest advice on the menu. Take advantage of the mini culinary show; the chefs and cooks prepare the food in a little area at the center of the bar, which is a great touch. It's too bad the place is a bit cramped; with such colorful food and people, it'd be nice to see and hear a little better in there, but the flavors are still worth the visit.
Still a great hidden gem!
If you're looking for good seafood, without having to hit the Strip.. this is the place
My husband and I were without the kids, and needed to eat near the Galleria.
Before kids we went to the Oyster Bar which we loved. So we decided to head back after 10 years.
Still the same great service and food!
We were immediately greeted and told to sit anywhere we would like, I choose the bar next to the cooking pots. The aroma coming out of the pots was wonderful. Clearly whet my appetite.
We looked over the menu, which had all of your favorite seafood selections. We were up in the air between the Cioppino or Boullabaisse. Both looked and smelled delicious. After having a side salad, which was large we went with the Boullabaisse.
Lots of seafood - Clams, Mussels, Crab, Shrimp and chunks of white fish, swimming in a flavorful saffron broth filled with leaks and onions. YUM!
Couple of beers & wine, our meal was complete!
Only drawback, the clams were a bit gritty.. but that can happen...
Glad we went and need to go back sooner than 10 years from now.
What the hell? This was my second meal of my trip and i am starting to have faith in hotel/casino restaurants. I had the gumbo while my friend has the etoufee. Rich flavors in my gumbo, great level of spice and i could even do it spicier but I'll let the chef choose what he feels is right. the richness as it coated my mouth with the beautiful flavors of seafood was a great way to get my eyes rolling backward in Ecstasy. this will have to be a usual spot for me to return to because even right now I'm craving some gumbo.
Review Source:I LOVE the house gumbo at this place. Â It's one of my top 10 Vegas meals. Â The service is great, they will remember you and your order after you go a few times. Â The house gumbo has lobster, crab and shrimp for only $18. Â And, it's a huge bowl, a great value. Â They can mess with the spice level if you ask, I always get level 7 which is hot but doesn't make my mouth hurt. Â Highly recommend any station casino oyster bar.
Review Source:This restaurant was great in every capacity!! The service was great, the food was awesome and the drinks were yummy. I had the cioppino and I have never tasted anything like that. It was loaded with all types of seafood and had an excellent well balanced flavor. I will definitely be returning here soon.
Review Source:Love this place! Â Everything from the food you get to the service you receive is top notch. Â Can't really tell you what dish is my favorite as I have tried most and they are all my favorite when I am done with that one. Â The only meal I had that was a little different was the shrimp. Â They didn't come as I thought they were but they were still awesome. Â Usually a weekly stop for us.
Review Source:Most of the time when I travel to Las Vegas, I will hit some of the different Station Casinos, but I most definitely try to stop by the Oyster Bar at Sunset Station. I love to sitting on the Bar and watch the cooks prepare my meal.
They bring you a menu and an assorted basket of bread and lavash.
Mmmm ...What should I order ? It's normally for me a toss up between Cioppino or Bouillabaisse with a bowl of rice and a cold glass of chardonnay.
Wow! No matter what I do order it's so delicious and makes my mouth water just thinking about now!
I guess gambling with the Station Casino 'Boarding Pass' Card does payoff. I never end up paying a thing for my meals..FREE..I love It!
The service is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing.
Recommended!
YAM! I love their bouillabaisse!
About 3 yrs ago my BF was here for a convention and I had lunch here. Â I love how small this place is, you can see the cooks prepare your food, and the waterfall surrounding the place.
We finally had a chance to drive out there this time we where in LV. Â The food was just like I remembered it last time, also tried the house pan roast, deeeelish. Â The waiter was very nice and not too pushy which I love. Â
Highly recommend this place =)
I love this place! I am a food snob and I have to say this place rocks! I love, love, love the snow crab dinner they have there and the New England clam chowder is the best in town. We eat there at lease twice a week cause I need to feed the craving. I have to add the reason we go back time and time again has a lot to do with the staff. I want to give a big thank you to Kevin, Julian, Chito and Olivia for always making our visit wonderful!
Review Source:Don't be put off by the fact that it is in a casino. I end up in Henderson from time to time. The guys I work with laugh cuz I could eat here every day and night. Â
The jambalaya is off the hook. The Etouffee' is rockin'. I think the chef's name is Kevin. Same guy as 4 years ago. He puts together a delectable combination. I did not know you could select a spice level, I wish the server had told me. At least now YOU know.
My guy and I had a great experience here. Â It's a small restaurant but I liked the atmosphere. Â We sat next to the waterfalls and I loved the sounds. Â The waitress Oliva was a gem. Â Very attentive without being overbearing and she was relaxed and friendly. Â One of the chefs (I think his name was Andrew) came out and brought us two gigantic chocolate dipped strawberries at no charge. Â Said he was experimenting with them and might put them on the menu. Â He chatted with us for a bit. Â Nice guy!
I read that someone complained about the rolls but I thought they were excellent. Â Had a sourdough flavor and were just chewy enough. Â I had the salmon and it was exceptional. Â It believe it was poached and was served with rice (good) in a bowl with some broth in the bottowm. Â The fish was melt in your mouth good. Â The portion was large. Â I couldn't finish it all. Â My guy had the cioppino and really enjoyed ti. Â We live on the other side of town but I do believe we'll be wandering back there some day.
I was skeptical because ... seafood in Nevada? Hmm..
Well, it was yummy. We ordered a bowl of the jambalaya and a bowl of cioppino (which was enough for 4 people, oops!)
The cioppino was a lot more thick than I would usually eat it, but it was amazing. So many good flavours in that bowl. I didn't even have to eat it with the rice they served on the side, all by itself was good. The jambalaya was another hit, too. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked.
The service was fine. They were busy and were accommodating as well. No bones there.
So we thought we would try this place  - since we had been at Hooters all day watching the football games.  By evening, we were in the mood for a lil seafood. Â
Looking at the menu, I was thinking, "well, I'm sure I can find something I'll like". Â I couldn't decide so I went to yelp to see reviews and even looked at suggestions. Â
I ordered the Pan Roast - a house specialty and a suggestion on yelp by another yelper. Â I even ordered the pasta instead of having it on the rice - since the reviews said the rice was NOT GOOD. Â My meal came out, very different then expected. Â The flavors were nothing as described and to be honest, when it was all said and done, the only seafood that was tasty was the prawns....The lobster was overcooked, the crab had a funny taste/smell - not a good meal.
My hubby ordered the Shrimp Louie Salad. Â This came out and we both looked at each other. Â This was served with mixed greens and very few shrimp - but MIXED GREENS???!! Â What's up with that? Â Throws the whole flavor off. Â It turns it into a bitter salad and he was not please.
Also seating arrangements were not great.  We sat at a little booth by the water, but were soon faced with a large couple  - woman was wearing a small shirt & short pants....so we have to avoid looking straight ahead for fear of offensive "coin slot"... SERIOUSLY!  It's not that they're large - it's that a person - any person should be able to bend over in their clothes and not share their ass with the person behind them.....no punn intended.
Eat at Hooters. Can't go wrong.
We eat here every once in awhile and with a weluvlocals coupon it seems like a no-brainer. Â
Started with the bucket of beer and Hot Maryland shrimp. Â Since we were ordering three beers and an appetizer anyway this is really the way to go. Â It's like getting the shrimp for $6 if you do the math. Â There was a generous helping of shrimp, good sized ones to. Â The broth they come in is a mite salty so don't plan on eating (drinking?) that.
For entees three of us split red beans and rice (fire that up a notch if you like the beans spicy) and the Bouillibasse. Â Contrary to another writers experience the dinner rolls were light and fluffy and there was no problem when we asked for more. Â Might depend on the time of day? Â Or just luck?
Have to say it is a bit noisy in here. Â Anyway, the overall experience was pleasant and the food good. Â After the $20 off coupon our dinner was $34 for three of us. Â In the words of Arnie:
I'll be back!
Eaten here many times and the food has been OK.
It seems ever since the Sunset Stations have gone into bankruptcy things have really cheapened up,but the prices have risen.
Small things keep this place from being a 3 to 3.5 star eatery.
The bread rolls are all ways stale(we're talking week old stale).
They used to have pepper mills.
Not any more.
The people that work there are friendly and efficient,but it seems to me like they aren't treated very well. Â
It looks as if they work in fear of losing their jobs.
It just feels cheap.
I have eaten here many times. Â I live on the far side of town and it is over 30 minutes for me to get here. Â I used to make the drive happily because their House Pan Roast is great. Â As usual the food was good. Â My problem this time and the last is the service. Â This is a small place and I go during slow times. Â No excuses for TERRIBLE service. Â I thought it was just a fluke last time, this time it was worse. Â I guess I'll start checking out the other Oyster Bars in town. Â I can get treated like crap a lot closer to home.
Review Source:it's so sad that i have to give this 2 stars. the food is great and ive frequented there quite often, but the last time i was there, the service was absolutely terrible, and the food was eh. they usually give you 6 clams with the linginue and clam sauce. there were none on top. when i asked for them, they gave me a bowl with 6 of them and 4 were empty. i complained to the master chef and he was rude and said "we are busy!" that was his excuse!!! i was very disappointed and will not be going back. i'll make it at home myself. dont bother with the sourdough bread they give you. it tastes gross and it's just not good at all.
Review Source:We have eaten here 3 times and had great experiences every time! the oysters were very good...ceasar salad was excellant ... very crisp lettuce fresh crunchy croutons (does it get any better) BEST DISH THEY MAKE .....Signature House Pan Roast both times which includes all 3 of the seafood choices-shrimp, lobster & crab (small tip: get it over linguini MUCH better than the regualr rice it comes with) You can thank me later!!!
Also had a $50 worth of seafood for $25 coupon from weluvlocals !!! Cant wait till they offer it again!!!!!
I always order the shrimp special. Its a pound of shrimp anyway you like it, and it comes with 4 domestic beers. My favorite is the Hot Louisiana, its delicious garlic spicy broth with big peel and eat shrimp, its served with sourdough rolls, flat bread and oyster crackers.
The oysters on the half shell are oh so fresh, have never had a bad one. They are served over ice with horseradish, cocktail sauce and lemons. Simplicity is what makes these perfect.
The food here is great but the service needs serious improvement. We went a couple times just to make sure we didn't catch them on a bad night. Starting with the hostess who is doubling as a busser and cleaning the place. Took forever just to get drinks out and the place is really not even that big maybe maybe 20 small tables and a bar. The manager needs to get all the staff on the same page fast...
Review Source:The hubby & I really like this place. We've gone 2 times now, the most recent trip being this last Saturday. My hubby had their Signature House Pan Roast both times which includes all 3 of the seafood choices-shrimp, lobster & crab. This last time he remarked that it's probably the best seafood dish he's ever had besides his mom's Cioppino & that's saying a lot coming from him! I had the Bouillabaisse the 1st time & the Salmon with capers & herbs this last time. Both items were excellent, prepared perfectly & plenty of food, I brought home half of the meal both times. The 1st time we went, the oysters were on special for $1 each so we got a dozen. I really love oysters & these were some of the best I've had although they weren't served on ice which I thought was odd. They were awesome though. Very large, fresh & delicious. We ordered them again on Saturday even though they weren't on special but b/c of how good they were the 1st time. This time they were really tiny & not nearly worth the $11 we paid for a 1/2 dozen. BIG disappointment.
I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 b/c of the measly oysters this last time & for the fact that I wished there were a couple more fish entrees like maybe a mahi-mahi dish or a seared tuna steak. Other than that, this place is really good & we will definitely head there when we get a seafood craving!
This place is great if you want your seafood fix for a pretty reasonable price. The only bad thing: limited seating! And it was a "seat yourself" kind of deal, so there was no hostess and we just had to hover and wait until a table was done eating to snatch some seating.
However, I felt like the food was worth the wait. What I recommend:
1. Jumbo shrimp cocktail: one plate has 5 jumbo shrimp on it and it was so fresh!! I could probably just eat two plates by myself.
2. House Gumbo: I think this is just a sweeter version of the Jambalaya. I'm not a fan of salty dishes or the spicy sausage so this was an excellent alternative. The house gumbo comes with shrimp, crab, AND lobster or you can get it with just one type of seafood. And the helpings of seafood was very generous. The dish also comes with a small scoop of rice. An absolute must try!
3. 1 lb of crab legs: This was super fresh and absolutely delicious and it won't break your wallet. Perfect for your crab leg craving.
Wow, where do I start....we actually have been eating here a while now- the mister thoroughly enjoys the red beans and rice and I do like their Manhattan clam chowder.
I will tell you now that what I am reviewing is going to be on their service. Â Usually when we eat here, we sit at a table and there is normally no issues. Â Well, yesterday we went to Sunset Station and it was Christmas Day. Â As everyone in Vegas knows- the casinos are packed on Xmas day and the restaurants are usually packed. Â Since this was the first Christmas that my daughter was spending with us, we thought we go out for a nice dinner.
We arrived at the Oyster Bar and there was a little line, no problem we think. So we wait in line, there is a party of 5 in front of us and they are waiting for a table since there is not enough room at the bar. Â They tell us that there is room at the bar since there's only 3 of us. Â We don't know if we should wait since there is a sign at the entrance that says "seat yourself"....well we walk around the bar and find 4 seats available, however, the bar area is not cleaned and there are leftover dishes from the last party...so we thought okay, we'll sit down and wait.
So we sat and waited- 10 minutes go by, no one comes to clean the bar area even though the entire staff is walking past us...another 10 mins go by- no acknowledgment from anyone behind the bar or waitstaff...the people sitting next to us tell us they are changing shifts...okay that's fine but why would another CUSTOMER have to tell us that??!?? Â I say it's okay, I know they are busy...so we wait another 10 mins...by now, the kid is really upset and the mister is FUMING...
It's not so much that they couldn't get to us, BUT at least ACKNOWLEDGE that we were there...all we needed was a "we'll be right with you"...my poor daughter was so upset she just wanted to leave...could it be that we were one of the few people in there with a kid? Maybe not...who knows but I have worked in a restaurant before and customers walking out is never a good thing BUT ultimately that's what happened...WE WALKED OUT...not because we didn't get served but we weren't even spoken to by ANYONE behind the bar...too bad cause we did like the food...OH WELL, looks like our money is not welcomed so we will NEVER be back...
I love seafood and definitely got my seafood fix here.
The husband and I tried & recommend the following dishes:
1. House Roast
2. Oysters 1/2 dozen
3. Peel and Eat Shrimp 1/2 pound
If there is one thing you must try, it'd be the House Roast.
Oh yeah and warning:
Ambience is cheesy (casino-restaurant) so don't recommend for a first date. =D
My wife and I are fans of the crab pan roast at the Palace Station Oyster Bar, and we've been eating there for years whenever we go to Vegas. Â However, we hate the long lines, so after hearing a rumor that the basic recipe for the pan roast is similar for all the Station Casinos, we decided to try the Oyster Bar at Sunset Station. Â
This restaurant was much larger with tables as well as seating at the bar, and best of all there was no wait. Â I ordered the crab pan roast, and my wife ordered the Manhattan clam chowder and bouillabaisse just to try something different. Â The presentation of the food was a little different, but honestly, I could not taste any difference between the pan roast here and the one at Palace Station. Â It still had the same rich, creamy, spicy broth with ample amounts of crab meat. Â My wife said that she tasted a slight difference, but agreed that they probably used the same basic recipe. Â Her bouillabaisse was also good with fresh crab legs, mussels, clams, and huge shrimp. Â The clam chowder was good, but a little on the salty side. The service was also very welcoming and attentive.
Over the years we've tried the pan roasts at numerous other oyster bars in Vegas and Reno, and nothing has ever come close to the one in Palace Station until now. Â And without the long lines, it has become much easier to come here to enjoy the amazing crab pan roast.
I love the one in the Palace Station casino (been a fan for years!) but they don't make Jambalaya anymore, so this one has a slight edge (although farther to make the trip for us) to the one int the PS casino. This one also has better ambiance- can be romantic, since there is additonal seating (private, tables and booths as well) in addition to the seating (stools) around the chefs, where they prepare and make your food, right in front of you. There is also a waterfall, which adds to the ambiance. I always order the House Gumbo (Sausage, Chicken & Seafood)- love love love love it. I always eat half , and take home the other half. All Gumbo and Pan Roast dishes come with crackle bread (generous- might just come with everything, actually), a hard roll, and a scoop of rice. We used the <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> certificates but sadly, no longer participating in the <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> promotion. The service is really good and the chefs here are more similar than the PS location (they vary in terms of performance-at the PS location). It's not as busy as the one at Palace Station, but then again, it does have more seating other than stools.
Review Source:While the Oyster Bar offers what you would expect of a restaurant with its name (i.e. the fresh, shucked oysters are great, as are the Alaskan king crab legs served with steaming hot butter), the treat of this place comes in its kettle specialties. Â Take a seat at the bar, order a cold one, and watch the chefs scoop various types of seafood (depending on what you order), condiments (garlic, etc.), and sauces (the special house roast sauce is my favorite) into a little pot and cook your order in front of you. Â Most of the kettle specialties are served piping hot in a bowl filled with rice (or with pasta if you order the scampi). Â Because the portions are so large, you can easily save half for lunch the next day... which makes the prices more reasonable, considering the food isn't cheap.
