Oyster Bar

Although with an unassuming name, Oyster Bar has some solid seafood and food in general.
Sashimi/​Oysters: Everything was really fresh. Oysters are the only things I refuse to eat, but everyone in my family loved them!
Rolls: Solid and tasty!
Entrees: The pan roast and gumbo was great! Both were greatly seasoned and the seafood was still fresh and tasty! The linguine, however, definitely needed more work and seasoning.
Service: It was SO SLOW. I understand because there was only one server, but it took quite a while to order and receive our food.

I have been here two times and I can say that they are getting better with there service. The food did not take as long as the last time I ate here. It is an older crowd. I will come back again as the food was good and I really enjoyed the waitress that serviced me.

Horrible horrible horrible service is extremely slow had to keep reminding the waitress of what I ordered they do not accept reservations it’s first come first serve everyone is standing around like they don’t know what they’re doing I have to be honest with you I rather pay a little bit more for all-​you-​can-​eat sushi and a noncasino environment… definitely two thumbs down!!!

This place was pretty disappointing. Good thing it only cost me money in tip. I came here with a friend, and we had $ 140 comp! Sounds amazing right? Would’ve been if the food was actually good. There was nothing to die for here.
Food:
ceviche — The shrimp didn’t really taste that good. Wasn’t very fresh, which made the ceviche altogether unappetizing. $ 13.50
crab cake appetizer — This was one of my favorite dishes of the night. Can’t go too wrong with crab cake. If you order the appetizer, it’s 1 crab cake with a side of salad and 2 sauces. If you order the entrée, there are 3 crab cakes. $ 7.50
Alaskan king crab legs — This was my favorite dish of the night. 6 pieces of juicy legs served on a bed of mashed potatoes. This isn’t available everyday; it was the special when we went. A whopping $ 44.
seafood risotto — Do not get it. This is the worst risotto I’ve had. The seafood was not fresh. The risotto tasted like a notch up from school cafeteria food. It was a blob of over cooked risotto doused with dry sauce. $ 17.50
shrimp and crab pasta — This was better than the risotto. But that really doesn’t say much. Instead of tasting like cafeteria food, this dish tasted like pasta with store bought alfredo poured on top and a few pieces of shrimp and maybe some hidden crab thrown in. At least «lazy home cooking» is better than «cafeteria food» though right? $ 21
piña colada and strawberry daiquiri — These were off menu. They tasted standard for what you’d expect these drinks to taste like. Nothing special here. Not sure what they cost.
The service matched the food. Our waiter forgot a few of our orders. Halfway done with the risotto, we inquired about the pasta, only to have a look of «OOPS» returned to us. The guy sitting next to me at the bar asked if my friend and I ate in shifts since I was pretty much done with my risotto by the time my friend got her pasta.
Also this place has no dessert!
I wouldn’t come back, unless I had comp, and even with comp I’d be hesitant about wasting a Vegas meal here.

If there’s one thing I hate most when I go out to eat it is an inconsistent oyster bar. I’ve been here multiple times with my husband and each time has been crappy. The only positive thing I can say is the crab and corn chowder when it’s available which is hardly ever is the most decent thing on the menu. Oysters are dry like they are old & they have no flavor. Barely any cocktail sauce is given and you get one wedge of lemon which is all dried up. The sushi doesn’t seem fresh even though he’s making it in front of you, it doesn’t taste very good. The bread is always hard and you have to ask to get it. Once we went and one of the cooks looked upset when we ask for more oysters as if we were bothering him. Please keep in mind we were the only two people sitting at the bar at the time. I think I’m pretty much done with this place! So many better places in the city. Suncoast your food and beverage department need to get it together and make massive changes to the oyster bar.

The service at this place is amazingly friendly and attentive. Not to mention the Linguine with Clams is the best I’ve ever had. The pasta is always al dente! Plus, they pour wine generously by the glass. Prices are reasonable, and it is a perfect date spot before seeing a movie at the Suncoast Theaters.

I have walked past this joint so many times and finally stopped in for dinner after a movie. We are so glad we did. Pamela was our server and she is one awesome waitress with charm you don’t see in restaurants these days.
We explained that we were not «that» hungry so she suggested a few smaller items. The crab chowder was delicious (& cheap). The steamed clams were buttery and the wine pour was generous & cheap too. We will be regulars just based on this one visit. Thanks for making reasonably priced seafood in the middle of the Mojave :) Our thanks to Pam for a very nice evening. You make all the other servers in Vegas look like amateurs!

Ordered the surf and turf. It came with a small rip eye steak 3 shrimp. Also garlic mashed potatoes hard and cold. Extremely disappointed. Small portions and over priced.

Good, fresh seafood… I really enjoyed the pan roast and Manhattan clam chowder. The seafood Cobb salad was delicious. This is my favorite dining option at the Suncoast.

We originally wanted the to go to the Mexican restaurant costa, but they were closed, so we decided to go to the Oyster Bar. My girlfriend was nervous about eating seafood and the chef Rocky, made sure to find out what we liked. He then brought me the steamed clams and muscles. Rocky hooked it up, the clams and muscles were very good had an excellent broth and the sushi he brought for my girlfriend was good and she enjoyed. Thanks again chef Rocky.

I had the sashimi (Maguro –Tuna) really good and fresh, the sushi chef was super friendly… they have my favorite sake, the fuji apple (a must try)
and I had a shrimp scampi pasta. I was good, white sauce was jusstttt right :)

We sat at the bar so we could watch the chefs cook the food. I came back for my own bowl of Roasted Corn Chowder with Crab. The crab was really skimpy, maybe 2 teaspoons this time.
We were also given dinner rolls with butter and there were oyster crackers in a basket on the counter.
This was a nice inexpensive snack. Unfortunately this Oyster Bar does not give a Military Discount. I may have to go to Palace Station for my 25% Military Discount.

I will take a pass on this next time. They were out of shrimp, crab cakes, other oyster dishes. and NO sushi! What a waste of time and money!

This is my folks’ Tuesday night dinner spot with their best friends. So much so, that when I was on a date here ordering from Than (usually Glenn is sushi chef but he was off) he knew what table they sit in AND what all 4 ordered just by a description! The staff is very welcoming and kind to regulars (always ask for my folks or vice versa) Glen even knows what I like enough to make to go sashimi on the fly for me if my folks (who don’t speak sushi) can bring me a treat.
Used to always get half dozen clams on the half shell & the clams in vermouth appetizer. Usually now, I go with sashimi. Glen will even ask if I’m still training, remember not to bring me bread & make sure I have low sodium soy sauce. Than was nice enough to bring my date & I some hamachi belly left from another order he was making. It was my date’s first sashimi experience and he made it a great one. It is not a full sushi bar by any means, but the chefs are great and will even tell me which fish to go with that day, etc.
My folks and friends all enjoy the bread, pan roast, linguine with clams and crab cakes. Mom always gets shrimp scampi. I really enjoy how friendly and attentive everyone is. Even fellow diners: once I was chatting up a couple next to me from Mililani Town, HI where my best friend lives. Talk about Aloha spirit: as they were leaving, they asked if I had plans Sat night & handed me 2 tickets to Clint Holmes at the Suncoast Showroom! We were seated right next to his wife and Mom & had a blast.
I’ve seen people take digs at chowder, being an East Coast girl who summered on Martha’s Vineyard most of my life, I can tell you the chowda is good, though I haven’t had it in a while.
In all, this is a great place to come and dine in a relaxed setting on some great seafood served by folks who really care about their customers. The only minus for me is it is open to the very smoky casino.

I don’t know why this has such low ratings. I love this place! Most of the Oyster Bars in town that I have been too are all pretty good.
I am a seafood lover, and this place is close to home.
I tend to try to right my reviews based on some of the best things places have to offer. People will go and try out certain things that aren’t as good, so they base it off of that.
The best things I’ve had here:
Blackened Shrimp Caeser Salad.
Clam Chowder
Crab Cakes
I haven’t had the Oysters here, but they reviews for it aren’t amazing. But I’m not one to go anywhere and that be the first thing I order.
Everything else is pretty average here and the prices here are decent. Service has always been good and friendly.

Questions
Is bread best when it has the fragrance of yeast rather than cardboard? Is New England clam chowder supposed to be cream-​colored rather than gray? Are sushi rolls supposed to taste more like fish than cucumber? Is sushi rice supposed to be flavored with rice wine vinegar? Is eel best when it tastes like eel rather than candy? Is tuna supposed to be free of sinew threads that feel like thin dental floss?
If your answer to any of the above is yes, then go somewhere else. Grocery store deli sushi and canned chowder are better. Seriously.
…and while I’m at it… What is it about Las Vegas bakers and bread? When you get bread here your response is usually «Oh, it has that on it.» or «It has this on it», or «I don’t know what that is.» I got a suggestion: Buy Walmart frozen east rolls. Follow the directions, and your patrons will roll their eyes so only the whites show and bury their faces in the bread basket. Taste is better than how clever you are.

I love this Oyster Bar inside Suncoast Casino… I always have either the Shrimp Cocktail OR the Crab Cocktail! Oyster were great too but this time I had opted out and ordered something new… it was similar to a Clam soup but in White Wine… very good!
Prices were not so bad… what do you expect? It was inside the casino so they are targeting the tourists… LOL!!!

Sat at the sushi bar and had a great meal, 3 rounds of sushi a beer and a sake chaser and it was about $ 39.00

Agreed with Mona C. about the whole «good but not great oysters cant be beat with a price like that but then again cant argue with a price like that»
Just want to add that the clam chowder seriously tasted like it was canned.
I ordered a sampler, mostly everything was deep fried i would expect a place like an oyster bar to find ways to enhance the flavors of seafood not just batter and fry the suckers. Surprisingly the rice was good.
NOT GOOD for groups, seating is VERY limited

The Suncoast’s Oyster Bar serves pre-​shucked oysters. (They remove the blue plastic bands around each one before serving them on the half shell.) I had two dozen oysters and was satisfied with the price I paid. For $ 14.99 per dozen, I didn’t expect greatness, and I got exactly what I expected. They oysters were large and plump, but had none of the liquor (probably due to them being pre-​shucked). They don’t have different kinds of oysters, like I would expect an oyster bar would. I guess this is a good place to go if you are craving oysters and want a place that’s quick and cheap. It’s fun to watch most of the dishes being prepared right in front of you. The bouillabaisse could have had a stronger flavor, but it’s tasty nonetheless. If you go to Señor Miguel’s next door, you can order from the Oyster Bar menu, too.
