    We were really looking forward to eating here tonight. There were 4 of us. We had reservations. We got seated right away which was great. As we were waiting for waitress to take our order, we heard a loud bell being rung. My back was to it so it startled me every time they rang it and it was extremely loud. It reminded me of the big bell that would be rung on a farm to notify you to come in for dinner. Our same waitress brought our dinners out and had no idea who had what. She never checked in on us until she started taking away our plates. She even asked our friend while he was eating if she could take his plate. Throughout the whole dinner, the bell kept being rung. So I finally asked the waitress, what’s with the bell … and she informed us that it is rung when the wait staff is not there when the food comes out. The 4 of us were not impressed. The food was okay. The atmosphere was disappointing, the service was mediocre and we probably won’t go back. She didn’t even ask if we wanted 1 or 2 checks. It could have been a really nice dinner, It just wasn’t.

    Made a reservation for 9:30 on a saturday night. Got there a little early and was seated right away. I chose to sit at the bar as I was by myself. Server came up right away got my drink and brought me fresh bread which was very good. Ordered the jambalaya. Huge bowl and unbelievably good. One of the best dishes I've ever had. Needless to say, between the excellent service and the great food, next time in Vegas this will be a definate stop on my list and would recommend them to everyone.

    Great service and the food is delicious. We always get the New England clam chowder. It’s the best.

    The seafood salad was just ok. Not much crab on it. And the rest of the seafood was meh. We left most of it. Their clam chowder was delicious though. The bowl is plenty for two people.

    A bit disappointing. Food quality so-so. For the price charged, we were expecting better taste and bigger portion. This place does not compare favorably to other Oyster bars around town.

    This was the 2nd time I have eaten here. The first time was not great, but I thought I would give it another chance, especially since they remodeled the restaurant recently. I was wrong. 😑 it was worse. Salmon way overcooked and the pan roast was awful. The sauce is supposed to be a bright vibrant tomato base, and instead it was a pink cringy congealed consistency. In fact the next day I was ill all day. Service was slow and not friendly. Never going back!

    We, a group of 4, enjoyed jambalaya, lobster rolls, blackened salmon, and shrimp. The food was cooked perfectly and wait staff ver attentive. Will return.
