The Oyster Bar

"I'm rating it a five just because of the food. The rest of it is as enjoyable as taking a dip in the lake Tahoe during a winter storm. This place is one of the best value seafood stew you could find in NorCal/Reno. It packs plenty of prawns, cod, crab legs, clams, mussels, and a half lobster tail. Yummy and filling, it's hard to complain. Except for the wait, you will find a line between 5 to 9pm easily and there is no way to escape it There is no reservation! And it is a long wait (1 hour) due to management induced limited seating and fellow patrons not eating shellfish in a blazing manner. Good if you are traveling solo to fill in the social gaps, but no bueno for couples, large groups nor family. Queue up, suffer the wait, and enjoy later. Worth it overall."

"The Oyster bar and grill is a seafood bar serving restaurant quality fresh seafood dishes! Consisting of attentive and friendly staff ( Thank you Zack and Mack!), that provide you accurate descriptions of the dish. I tried the Bouillabaisse French Seafood Stew, Pan Roast Lobster, and Chicken Linguine which were all exquisite. The Bouillabaisse has a unique combination of oil, sauces, seasoning added on top of the fresh seafood taste. It's almost impossible to describe the otherworldly taste but imagine if you went to the cleanest beach and took that water, used it as a soup base stewing it with many different seafood and fragrant oils that is what I believe it could taste like. It was super generous with seafood having a one of a kind seafood stew taste. The Pan Roast Lobster was a creamy tomato bisque with 6 large pieces of lobster, the tomato bisque having every molecule of its creaminess gripping onto your taste buds and the fresh lobster tasting like the heart of the sea with every bite, slightly salty, really meaty and tender. The Chicken Linguine was also amazing, being really generous with the Parmesan and Chicken and having aldente linguine noodles, with a herby white wine broth gripping onto each strand of the noodles. Overall, The Oyster Bar being located in the Golden Nugget casino amazed me with its food and if I ever come back I will definitely be trying some of their other dishes. Also this review was written on Christmas soo.. Merry Christmas everyone!!!"

"Ordered the oyster, which tasted a bit weird and not so fresh. Ordered gumbo, add extra $4 for crab, didn’t know it was shredded crab meat, which I have no clue how much was in it, because I can barely see any, the flavor was great, a bit salty, the rice was a bit mushy. Staff was nice though."
