RM Seafood

Food was really good!!!
We came on Friday night without reservations and were seated within 5 mins of arriving.
We were sat by the server station so all throughout the meal I could see the servers playing around with each other… (Which is why it wasn’t a 4 star experience for me)
We had:
Charred Octopus — reallllllly fresh and tender
Rice Krispies Spicy Tuna — I’d kill somebody for this… All the flavors were excellent
Cucumber Salad add Crab — ehhhh it was okay
Endless Summer Roll — bland in my opinion, but very fresh
Spicy Salmon Roll — again bland in my opinion, but fresh
I’d come again, hope I’d get seated elsewhere and I’d order 10 Rice Krispies!

I will never forget the terrible experience I had there when I took my mom for her birthday on a very slow Sunday night… Did not get a drink for almost 20 minuets, you were out of 2 different vodkas, and the kicker… Served us muscles that some weren’t opened (means they are bad) and when I was just going to push them to the side and not say anything, there was then a hair in it too! So then when I said something… I was then asked if I wanted them to exchange the exact number of muscles that were bad (in a rude tone). Not one apology. Oh and funny thing I am in the hospitality industry and even gave them my card. I do have to say after following up with them… I will never send anyone there again.

The menu has had recent changes so it was off to a rocky start when one of our party had her heart set on the Vongole and linguine which is sadly no longer available.
The meal was quite good so I’m disappointed to read about so many negative reviews. The lobster claw is one of the biggest I’ve ever seen,. Must’ve been a mutant lobster.
Service was very attentive and the staff did their best to accommodate requests.
Don’t skip the key lime pie with toasted marshmallows!

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! It’s the best dining experience in a while! All food was beyond expectations and so was the service! Eating here is a must if you love seafood!

I recently was a guest at the Mandalay Bay Resort, attending the PPAI show Jan 10 – 14.
I had an email confirmation for reservations to the Rx Boiler Room. This was a client dinner, I was hosting a total of 10 people.
I called about a week prior to my visit to increase the party of 8 to 10. Also, when I arrived to Las Vegas, I checked in with the concierge desk and a lady called, and again, confirmed my reservation for 10 people at the RX Boiler Room on Tues Jan 12 at 6:30 pm.
When I arrived at 6:20 that evening, I was in shock when I saw a sign saying «closed for a private party». I spoke with the manager and while he was apologetic, did not seem sincere. He blamed the 3^rd party online system for the error instead of accepting this was a huge mistake, causing me great embarrassment in front of my customers.
He said my reservations were not here, but rather downstairs at RM Seafood. Forgive me, my clients and I live in Boston, MA where we have the finest and freshest seafood in the country. I would not fly to the desert to have seafood.
Having no other choice (as all restaurants were booked for the evening), we were escorted downstairs. The manager there took care of us at first. But after our order was taken, it was hard to find a server or manager. Our service was slow. The food was mediocre at best. We were half way through our dinner before the wine came (and we ordered it as soon as we sat down). We waited about 20 min after we finished to find a server to bring us a dessert menu. He advised that the kitchen was backed up and it would be 20 – 30 min if we ordered dessert. This was unacceptable after already having waited 20 minutes. The bill came to nearly $ 1700, of which the manager took care of the wine — approx. $ 200. And this was not something he offered, I had to ask for it. While we finished up our wine, the server brought us 2 key lime desserts to share (conveniently while I was signing the check).
In hindsight, I should have asked for more, as our experience was just short of awful. I am in the sales and service industry. When my company messes up, we take care of our clients. I believe that people can make mistakes, but it is how you correct them that shows true integrity and commitment to your customers.
When I return for this convention next year, I will reconsider where I would like to conduct my business.

Oh no. It was so good here on my last visit that I wanted to bring my honey. We were really disappointed. The broccolini was swimming in greasy teriyaki sauce. The baked stuffed shrimp were covered in this terrible butter stuff. I hate saying negative but… its a lot of money. We should’ve went to Denny’s.

We went here for our anniversary and what a mistake that was. Despite the restaurant being completely empty they tried to seat us in a little pack with other diners. We are human beings… not cattle. For approximately $ 150 I received the following.
*Water (This insane price does not even include soda)
* Rolls that tasted like the ones you get at KFC (free)
*Cornmeal breaded calamari (mostly cornmeal) that was accompanied with not enough stewed tomatoes for dipping sauce ($ 20)
* Scallops with what appeared to be Quaker oatmeal cheddar flavored grits (Did not finish) ($ 42)
* Surf and surf lobster and shrimp (Did not finish) ($ 64)
UPDATE @ 4:00 am… and food poisoning
Sadly to say Chilis has more seafood options than this place that specializes in seafood. I was completely befuddled when the menu came out and our options were a choice of 3 overpriced fish or overpriced sushi.
Will not ever never ever be back nor will anyone within shouting distance of these lungs!
BTW Epic fail for an anniversary dinner as well. Didn’t even bother to make it special. Good grief for $ 150 bucks I was at least expecting a damn candle. No cake… nothing…just a bend over and take it mentality.
Methinks this place was empty for a reason on a Saturday in Las Vegas… SMH

I took a colleague and two clients here on Oct. 27, 2015. After waiting around an hour for our dishes to arrive, we left. We ordered drinks and soup, which came out quickly. However, we placed an order for sushi and after about an hour, we called it quits and left. Unfortunate for my guests as they had somewhere to be; they left disappointed and hungry. Very embarrassing and shame on me for taking people out to RM Seafood.
The excuse their manager gave us was that they only had 2 sushi chefs working. Surprising since there was a major conference being held at the hotel.

I ate here yesterday and had the prix-​fixe lunch menu and the Devil Went Down to Manhattan cocktail. The drink was a mixture of Gentleman Jack, cardamaro, habanero bitters, and ginger ale. It was very well-​mixed, super smooth and easy-​to-​drink, with a nice little spicy kick. Lots of complex flavors and an overall delicious drink I’d love to have again. ⁵⁄₅
The clam chowder was well-​balanced in its use of ingredients. No one ingredient overpowered the soup in terms of flavor or volume (not too clammy or hammy, not too much potato or celery filler). The soup wasn’t starchy or thick. It was a bit too salty, but it was so tasty, I’d still give the dish ⁴⁄₅.
The lobster rolls were the BEST I’ve ever had. Fresh, tender, and meaty lobster, dressed with a tangy sauce that was not too creamy or thick, stuffed in a nicely toasted, sweet bun. Absolutely amazing. ⁵⁄₅
The chocolate bread pudding had a nice cacao taste, wasn’t too syrupy or sweet, but was a tad dry. ⁴⁄₅
My friend got the butternut squash soup (⁵⁄₅), the mahi mahi tacos (⁴⁄₅), and the key lime pie (⁵⁄₅). The server was a little clumsy and was not as knowledgeable as expected, but since ALL the food was delicious and on point, I’d heartily recommend it. (The service was a little slow, but I actually really appreciated the time in between courses, since I devoured each one and could use some time to let it settle in my stomach — that said, it was a SLOW day, and I could see how service could grind to a halt if were busy. Nevertheless, the food was bomb.)

Excellent food and service!

I agree with some of the other posts, the place used to be better. I have eaten here several times over the past 5 years and it has steadily gotten less enjoyable. The service is slow. It took us over 15 minutes to be seated, even though we arrived on-​time for our reservations (and there were no other guests in line). The salads and sushi took forever, as did our main courses.
My salmon was over-​cooked, in fact it seemed like it sat waiting for other dishes. The scallops were very good, and most of the other people in our group thought the food was okay. The prices were fair for Las Vegas, and Mandalay Bay is a really nice property.
Our wait staff was slow on refilling drinks, I think they might have been over worked. We just didn’t see them enough considering the wait we had for food.
The bottom line is that there are more unique experiences in Las Vegas to try. It can be loud, and the service is below average. There are many dishes that are great, but many are just average.

SLOW AS HELL & I GOT SICK…
Though we were here mid-​week and seated at 7pm, the kitchen service was terrible. After placing our order we waited over 45 minutes for our soups and salads. Our main courses followed 30 minutes later. Though the waiter kept checking with the kitchen, he could not get our food delivered in a timely manner.
The waiter promised that the manager would come over to speak with us, but he never showed his face. I WOULDN’T EITHER. The manager obviously was not monitoring the kitchen staff and their delivery times (that’s what restaurant managers are supposed to do!). The waiter did treat everyone in our party to a glass of house red wine — WOO-​HOO (big deal) !
I had the clam chowder for a starter course. The soup was tasty and filling.
For a main course I had the clams and linguini. The pasta was swimming in olive oil and butter. WAY TOO MUCH SAUCE. Some french bread to mop it up would have been nice! No one came over to offer parmesan cheese for any of our pasta dishes.
The serving sizes were sufficient and a decent value — HOWEVER, beginning 2 hours later I spent the entire night in the bathroom with stomach cramps and diarrhea.
Not a pleasant visit.
The waiter tried to speed things up, but the kitchen staff were jerks — even though the place was EMPTY!
It has slid downhill from my visit a few years ago.

We came here for lunch the other day. For a place that is so well known for seafood I have to say it was a bit of a disappointment. I had the Mahi tacos which were tiny and the fish was dry. The wife had the lobster poor boy and there was a lot more «salad» than lobster.
Our waiter was heavily in the weeds so we had the manager serving us and he was very nice and helpful.
All in all just not very good food. Maybe we caught them on an off day.

Came here for lunch with a large group. We had to select the prix fix menu because of our group size. Starter, I picked the clam chowder since the server sold it hard. Salty lacking seafood taste and only ok. The scallops with papaya salad was my main. Scallops were excellently prepared but 2 scallops seems a little cheap. Papaya salad was ordinary Western taste, lacking fish sauce and the all famous balak. I wanted to like this place since Rick is a great chef (he still comes in often and works, unlike the many other famous restaurants in Vegas were the chef never comes) but because of the price fix menu, I would have never ordered what I did. But really the famous clam chowder should not be what RM Seafood is known for.
I look forward to coming back on my own for dinner and ranking this place much higher.
Oh forgot to add the sushi shared platter we got for a first course was outstanding. The sushi was incredible, as good as any high end Japanese sushi place.

This was a hard place to rate because I have mixed feelings about my experience. We made a reservation for 6:00 on a Friday night and I’m glad that I did because the restaurant and bar were already packed. The bar was the most crowded area which makes me think they must have good Happy Hour specials. I liked the décor and vibe of the dining room. It had an upscale feel, but not in a stuffy way.
The outstanding part of the evening was the service. The whole team was very attentive. Our waiter was always available, he timed our courses well so that we were never waiting long, and our water glasses were always full.
The mixed feelings part is in regards to the food. The good was the bread basket, clam chowder, and my sushi roll. The bad was the skirt steak. The meh was Moroccan spiced salmon, strawberry shortcake, and key lime pie.
So, the bread basket came out and the two options were delicious. It included a moist, buttery piece of cornbread and a salty, cheesy roll type of bread. I was excited at this point because I love a good bread basket. Next up was the clam chowder which was top notch. It was smoky, rich, and had plenty of clam. My sushi roll was the best part of the whole dinner. The fish tasted very fresh and all of the flavors worked so well together. I definitely wanted more sushi, but we had already ordered meals.
I had the Moroccan spiced salmon and my husband had the skirt steak. This was a change of pace because I have the steak obsession in our house. My salmon was well prepared, but the flavors on the plate weren’t great or abundant. It was definitely lacking something. I tried my husband’s steak (more like half of it) because he was trying to push it off on me to avoid wasting food. I seriously hate to have to say this about an entrée at any nice restaurant, but the steak was terrible. It was tough and had zero flavor. It didn’t seem like they even salted it. I was really surprised that an established restaurant would serve this.
The desserts were okay, but not great. We had the key lime pie with cilantro syrup and a strawberry shortcake. Both desserts were creative version of the traditional desserts which I can appreciate. The key lime pie was good and I thought the cilantro was a tasty twist on the usual. My husband thought the cilantro syrup was an assault on his typical key lime pie and was not impressed. The strawberry shortcake was delicious. It was more of a shortcake biscuit in a strawberry soup. I loved the flavor, but it came with a fork which made it hard to enjoy the soup part.
I wouldn’t come here again for dinner, but I do want to come back for sushi. The sushi and the service were good enough to bring me back for a second try.

I felt badly, because we were the last patrons of the evening (I believe the kitchen closes at 10:30p), but the staff at RM Seafood went above and beyond to make sure we had an excellent dining experience regardless.
Aside from a bit of a lag in taking our order (to be fair, we said that we needed a few extra minutes– just not quite THAT many extra minutes), service was spot on. The complimentary cornbread was sweet and moist, and our cocktails crafted with care.
My entrée, the scallop dish, was amazing! You could definitely taste the freshness and the scallops were perfectly cooked. The accompanying sauce and vegetables matched perfectly.
My dining companion had two types of sushi, and also reported that they were very good. As it was the end of the night, perhaps there were some items left over, because they sent out a complimentary order of mashed potatoes, which were also pretty amazing!
Another table could not finish their bottle of wine, so we were gifted the remainder of it, as well as a complimentary dessert. While the key lime pie was good, I didn’t love the meringue or crust that much.
I would definitely return to RM Seafood for a fine dining seafood experience, and perhaps coming in at the end of the night is the way to go!

Fancy food. I don’t generally eat food like this, but when you visit Vegas, places like this abound. Every hotel/​casino has at least one of these places with the «executive chef» and composed plates with an entrée and sides. Spots like this run on the border between restaurant and modern art gallery in terms of how your meal is prepared. The «art», in this case, is the chef’s food – there’s no quibbling about the high price because you’re not there to fill your stomach like you would at Denny’s. You’re there to experience the chef’s taste creations. It’s going to be expensive and you know that going in – this really isn’t an issue unless the food is awful. *Hold that thought*
We started with clam chowder. Actually, it was more like a lukewarm bisque, and had a bitter cast to it. Not really my style. The skirt steak entrée I ordered consisted of about seven smallish pieces of meat laid on a bed of creamy mashed potato with mushrooms and «yumyum» sauce. The sauce had the heat of a hot salsa and made the potato «yuckyuck” – it was inedible. The steak was tasty– I just cut each slice in half as I ate it so I could have the illusion that I was eating more food.
I also got a ten dollar serving of french fries – these were just about as spicy hot as the mashed potatoes, but if I didn’t eat them, I would have had a near empty stomach.
My wife got a seafood plate – the Surf and Surf. She said that it was «good” – nothing special. My daughter filled up on Caesar salad.
In total, $ 200 for «okay» food or food so heavily spiced that I couldn’t enjoy it. Yeah, it was pretty awful, and what’s the point of fancy if you don’t enjoy it? Speaking very frankly, I seriously wish that I skipped the art gallery and gone to Denny’s.

My boyfriend and I came here for lunch during our stay in Mandalay Bay. There was hardly anybody there which is usually a forewarning for bad food, but the food was decent and people started coming in to dine after we did.
During the lunch hour, they have prix fixe menus. The choices were alright, but some of these items could be ordered as entrees. I didn’t see anything I wanted from the prix fixe menu so I ordered the rainbow roll which was delicious.
I think the highlight of the meal was the oysters we ordered. We ordered the sampler which allows you to pick which oysters you want. I can’t remember which ones we specifically ordered except for the Kumamoto ones and some other Pacific ocean ones (we avoided Atlantic since we’re from the East Coast and want to try ones we ordinarily wouldn’t be able to obtain). This was a great deal and delicious. There are choices of mignonette sauce, horseradish, lemon wedges and cocktail sauce. I think these are best enjoyed with all sauces except cocktail sauce.
Service was decent and our waiter was personable. I think I would come back for the oysters. I’m allergic to shellfish, so I know going to a seafood restaurant sounds unintuitive, but the other items like the fresh and oysters (which I can eat), were worth it.

MOST TENDER LOBSTER TAIL
So my hubby brought us here after a kettle 1 event that he attended. It was a weekday & it seemed very slow. We were seated in the «patio» area which is funny because it is still indoors since it is inside the casino.
We were promptly greeted by our server & he walked us through the menu since it was our first time dining.
We started with a CLAM CHOWDER which had clams in every bite.
Then we has the charred poached OCTOPUS legs.
Next came a CAESER salad which had a little spice to it which I assume is because they make their dressing in house which I LOVED because it cuts back on the typical thick dressing.
Then we ate the most delicious & garlicy garlic butter bread ever. And we were also served complimentary corn bread with butter. I am very guilty of eating 4 of them. The server was very surprised w/​how many I ate.
For main course i had the SURF & TURF & the lobster literally just melts… period. The filet was just as delicious in flavor & tenderness. As for my man he had the SURF & SURF which came w/​the most AMAZING risotto!!!
Finally dessert we had the ice cream sampler & dessert sampler which I can’t remember the names but they were all good!!!
Overall our experience was AWESOME! Hubby was happy because our server was able to bring him drinks that were good since we left the decision for him to pair it w/​our food. And i was even more happy because our server packed me a couple of corn breads to take home with my leftover food!

Its been a while since I last visited RM Seafood. The only real reason I wanted to come back was for the Moon ‘n Doggies. I had one for an appetizer when I last visited for dinner. But since then they pulled it from the dinner menu and regulated it to their lunch menu. I finally decided to come back for a lunch session and was delighted to see the Moon n’ Doggies still on the menu.
Moon ‘n Doggies —
Two White Shrimp Stuffed Hot Dogs, Asian Slaw, Cilantro Aioli
These are so good! It’s prepared differently than when I had it last time (
). Back then it was served as one single Hot Dog whereas the one they served me for lunch was two thinner Hot Dogs. No matter, these were still amazing! And it comes with choice of Fries or Housemade Potato Chips.
Key Lime Pie —
Swiss Meringue, Cilantro Syrup
I wasn’t expecting much when I ordered it but when it was presented to me I was really impressed! Very tart and creamy and the crust was good! I did not regret ordering this one bit.
So yeah, it was a very nice return to RM Seafood and I would definitely return again in the future. There’s still plenty of other things for me to try on both their lunch and dinner menus. Maybe I’ll even tackle their famous Blind Ice Cream Guessing Game once again!

Top Chef Lunch :) I heart Rick Moonen!
