Oyster Bar

As stated in some of my other reviews, I LOVE seafood. While speaking to a coworker about wanting to go to the infamous Oyster Bar at the Palace Station, she mentioned the Oyster Bar at Sunset Station was very good as well with more seating… tonight we gave it a try.
There is definitely more seating at this location. They prepare the dishes at the bar, so if you get a chair at the bar top you can see the cooks/​bartenders preparing the delicious eats.
After reading other reviews, I opted for the Pan Roast with shrimp, lobster, and crab. This was a delicious and rich dish served with a scoop of white rice. My guest got the Sunset Roast which had shrimp, crab, andouille, and chicken. It was also excellent.
This was such a great seafood dinner that I would have loved to give them 5 stars. My only issue was the bartender/​server we had was not attentive at all and quite unfriendly. The good was so good, however, we will definitely be back, but sit at a table and hopefully have proper service.

I always go here everytime I’m in Vegas because you can use your points earned from playing at the casino. The best deal is to get the shrimp and oyster combo. Comes with 4 jumbo shrimp and 4 oysters for $ 16. You can order a dozen of oysters for $ 18, but I’m the only one that eat it and I can’t finish all 12. My husbands just eats the shrimp. If you order shrimp cocktail by itself, there’s 5 pieces for $ 12, kind of a rip in my opinion.
Honestly the best oysters I’ve ever had. I love their cocktail sauce as well. Great flavor with an extra kick of horse radish. I could eat this every day if possible.

Solid 3.5 stars because there was no wait. I like how this location actually has tables AND a bar top. I came around 1 with 2 friends and there were only 2 other parties in the restaurant. Our server Desiree was really sweet, she brought out sour dough bread and some pita like chips which were pretty good.
I was hoping they would have the seafood clam chowder which comes with lobster bits like the Palace Station location but they didn’t. I settled for a bowl of the clam chowder instead. When it was brought out, I was surprised at how small it was. For $ 8, I was expecting something a bit bigger, but it was good. My sister and I shared the pan roast ($ 20) which had lobster, crab and shrimp… we wanted it mild and we got something that didn’t have a hint of spiciness at all. I guess we should have told the waitress that we wanted a 3 or 4 out of 10 for spiciness. My sisters’ bf ordered the same thing and he got a level 5 spicy. The waitress was kind enough to split our pan roast for us into two bowls. We didn’t know that they would give us 2 rice bowls as well so we ordered another side of rice ($ 2).
Unfortunately the pan roast at this location isn’t as good as the one at Palace Station. I’m not sure why. The chef wasn’t as generous with his seafood portions as the Palace Station location either.

What an oyster bar! The surroundings and scenery are awesome here.
We came for lunch and it was nearly empty. Maybe three other parties were here. We all ordered the pan roast which is about $ 20 and totally worth it! It’s probably the most popular item to get. The broth isn’t as creamy as others I’ve been to but it definitely is tasty. Other oyster bars you might have to wait over an hour. This one wins in my books because you walk right in and it has cool surroundings. The waitress was extremely nice and helpful. Give this place a try!

Yum! Service is quick! Cooks are amazing and super friendly. Food of course is delicious! Will come back over and over again.

I’m a fan alright!!!
So moms and I had our last dinner before my gfs and I had to head back to OC. She was all about coming here. My gf’s not so much until one of them read the menu after we already got there and she wished she came with us after all, Oy Vey LOL.
So I’m not a Vegas visitor nor a visitor of Nevada period. Not like I’m a hater, just don’t have the opportunity much to do so. So casinos are still new to me and trying to find this place was a bit annoying. My fault for not parking in the right place, but we wouldn’t have known anyway since this was our first visit and reviews didn’t really tell us where to go. So I’d say, park by the 24 hour café entrance you’ll see a sign on where to go from there. So after scaling half the casino, we finally found it following the signs. We walk up and it states seat yourself but the tables were either sat in or needed busing. So then we saw the bar which we originally wanted to sit in but they would only have one seat available or tops needing to be cleaned. I said let me see and we turned a slight corner and there were two tops at the bar, I just couldn’t see them until I walked around. I kinda wish they had a hostess stand to eliminate the confusion blah.
So I went in and turned the corner to see if there were two bar chairs open and yes there was, I guess they couldn’t be seen by this obstructed view. Once seated the chef/​server came by and asked for our drink orders. He was nice and sweet, even hooked me up when I took an order of chowder home for my sister, charged me for a cup instead of a bowl :) Thanks boo. I ordered a cosmo and he made it. I don’t think he’s up on the girly drinks but it was good nonetheless: p We started with cups of clam chowder. The soup came out reasonably fast and extremely fresh and hot. First taste and e were in love. This was the classic clam chowder we were looking for. The consistency was thick and creamy. A nice balance of clams and potato. This was beyond good and my mother and I knew my sister would love it! Only thing that bummed us out was the lack of oyster crackers!!! How do ya’ll not have oyster crackers on deck!!! I mean its a staple with clam chowder! It’s ok, the clam chowder tasted so great all was forgiven: p We also ordered little neck clams and those were bountiful. The clams were great, the broth was a bit bland and a bit tooooo citrus in taste. I bet the next day it would be better.
At first we were going to get our own dishes but the portions are HUGE, so we shared a shrimp boil. This dish is SPICY and if you take it home for leftovers, it will be super SPICY the next day and I’m so surprised my mother was able to eat them the following day. Lots of shrimp, Andouille sausage, corn on the cob and my mom’s favorite okra. I would have loved a side of rice. Again super fresh ingredients and overall a solid dish. I ordered this for her so I was willing to sacrifice what I wanted since I know driving a seafood dish back to cali the next day would not be ideal. My mom was happy and satisfied.
We were very happy when we left and we also had killer luck on the slots afterwards. I will definitely come back without a doubt!

I never knew they had an oyster bar here. I thought it was only at palace station. Tucked away at the sunset station hotel, this oyster bar is a little bigger than the palace station one. The bar area seats probably twice as much. There are also tables which provide much more seating. Though there is no waiting to get a seat… There’s definitely a wait to get your food. Because there was only one poor guy working, the wait for food was about an hour. The waiter warned us so if that happens, don’t be hopeful that food will come sooner… It will take the full hour. Order a appetizer.: it comes quicker. I’ve tried the clam chowder and the shrimp boil. Both were delicious! The clam chowder is really good and hearty. The shrimp boil is spicy and garlicky just they give you bread to soak up all the delicious sauce. It tastes like boiling crab which I love. I ordered the signature pan roast with lobster crab and shrimp. My friend ordered the sunset station pan roast which comes with shrimp crab chicken and sausage. Each bowl comes with two scoops of rice and green onions.
I liked my food. I feel like it wasn’t was creamy or heart as the one at palace station. Also, serving size was definitely smaller! I finished my bowl here and I’ve never been able to at palace station (I didn’t eat much of the rice though). All in all the flavors were good. Seafood was plenty but the wait time and portion size knocked it down one star.

This has become one of my favorite restaurants in Vegas. Absolutely delicious and best pan roast I’ve ever had. The oysters were very plump/​juicy and filled with fresh flavor as well. This place is as good as it gets. The wait is a bit long, maybe about an hour, but well worth it.

The oyster queen approves! Fresh, plump and delicious! Diss the strip crowd, I’ll be back

One of our favorite spots for oysters and our absolute favorite pan roast in town! (They usually pack me just the sauce Togo for $ 6 and we make stuff at home with it lol) great service and usually don’t have to wait to sit unlike their sister property palace station.

Hello and welcome to the Oyster Bar. I have ate at the famous Palace Station Oyster Bar and can say this compares nicely. We always get the signature Pan Roast so that is all I can compare it to. Let me start by saying that although this place is busy it is not difficult to get a seat. Unlike Palace Station. The staff greets you and seats you right away, or you just seat yourself. The staff at the Bar gets your drink orders right away and bring a bread basket. I always get a beer and its always cold and glass is cold as well. Pan roast, I get a 3 and Josie usually gets a 1 in spice. The seafood meat is good proportion and the size of the seafood is good as well. Josie usually gives me some of her shrimp there is so much. The broth is creamy and spiced just right. The portion is huge so bring appetite. There are 2 big helpings of rice with the Roast, I like to take my rice a bit at a time. Some mix the rice up full into the broth. My drink was never left empty and staff checked on us continuously. (BONUS). Thanks for dining at Oyster Bar. I have been and will go back. It is a quick place to get a bite after work, before a movie or bowling. Check it out if you would rather not travel to Palace station. You will not be disapointed.

It’s just as good as Palace Station without the line!
The service is fantastic, Beau is always full of good recommendations and ideas!
Been eating here once a week since finding this little gem!

Excellent, tasty fare. Billy Ray had the Clam chowder, JJ the Etouffe and I had the Sunset pan roast! Our meals were great! The service was outstanding and the ambiance very nice! We will be back!

The first time we went here, we just wasn’t impressed. It was just my hubby and I. The service was below par, food took over an hour to get, just wasn’t excited to ever go again. However, we did go again. This time with 6 of our friends. Honestly, they totally redeemed themselves. The waitress, Farrha, was the best. We ordered 3 orders of raw oysters, 1 Oysters Rockefeller, 2 shrimp cocktail, 2 orders of crab legs, many oyster shooters, etc… she not only kept up with us, she kept a very positive, joking attitude the whole time. She made the experience completely different. All of the food was fantastic, fresh. We will be going back again!

Food was okay, nothing to write home about, esp if you live in Louisiana. But biggest disappointment is the lame service. Too slow, food was cool, and they are terribly understaffed. We even went on a weeknight, and rather early at 6ish.
Servers (2) were also expected to act as hostess as well as serve all drinks + food. Too bad for them, as this affects their bottom line when management understaffs…

It was our second time dining here. As busy as it was today, our server FARAH was awesome. She was the only server for 20+ people!!! I counted. I cannot blame her for waiting a bit longer for our food. It was worth the wait. I will say that the cook was busy as well. But for Farah to wait on 20+ people, greeting and seating, gathering orders, refilling drinks and doing it with a smile… Amazing.
The clam chowder was full of clams and less potato «fillers.» Thick and creamy. It was one of the best I have ever had. The hubster had the signature étouffée which he devoured.
I love this place. Thank you Farah for the exceptional service.

Closer to a 3.5 star.
They were busy but we were able to sit at the bar. The bread basket (contains 2 dinner rolls and crackers, as well as butter) was complimentary.
–Shrimp Cocktail: ok
–étouffée: was decent, though, the gumbo was better. Earl asked for lemon wedges to squeeze into this bowl and he said that it tasted better.
–Gumbo, combination: this was good. The combination includes sausage, shrimp and lobster. I think a bit of creole seasoning would make this bowl of goodness to the next level. I took half of this to go.
Service was good. The cooks were very attentive.

Solid ³⁄₅. Their food may be delicious, but that doesn’t erase the fact that their bar top service… horrible! The last two times I’ve been there, took forever for someone to take our orders and then over an hour for our food. How can an establishment have ONE cook? Such a shame. Oysters are good. Clam chowder was delicious. But then… cockroach crawling on the wall. EEEWWWWWWWW. That is all.

I spent $ 20 and enjoyed a ½ dozen of regular oysters and a ½ dozen of charbroiled oysters. I call that a great deal. It’a a nice and clean space. I opted to sit at the bar so you can watch everything being made. The staff were pleasant and attentive. The menu was somewhat simple, but had enough options to please most everyone. The charbroiled oysters were so yum! The wine and beer list is alright. It was a cheap (to me, for oysters) and pleasant dining experience. I will most definitely come back.

NOTHING CHANGED
Once upon a time this café was known as «Costa Del Sol» which is where we originally had a review. For whatever reasons,
has closed down that review site. So, we are now adding this review for the Oyster Bar.
The theme here is a fisherman’s grotto. Much of the food is prepared just behind the U shaped counter and for diners to witness. When it’s not as busy, just take a seat at the counter or a table along the restaurant’s perimeter. If you’re pressed for time, this is not the venue for you and perhaps the food court would be more accommodating.
Started out with the regular order of Caesar Salad and a bowl of New England Clam Chowder to share. Both the salad and the clam chowder were filling enough that when we received our order of the House Special Étouffée (ordered medium spicy and served split into two bowls) we were only able to finish just one portion. The other went home with us for a repeat performance. In the old days, we could put away a whole order each.
We have dined here dozens of times and each time it is always most enjoyable. Each bite brings back fond tasty memories of our yummy Naw’lins eatin days.
