Palace Station * Oyster Bar
Back in August, Vivian suggested two places to go to in Vegas for dinner for my bachelorette party. We were only able to go to one of them (which I will blog about very soon) and we missed out on the Oyster Bar. However, she went in December with my brother and came back raving about it. In total, the two of them ate 60 oysters. Yes. 60 oysters. I could not believe it! I thought there was no way that was possible and felt the need to go to the Oyster Bar the next time I was in Vegas.
Taro and I decided to go to Las Vegas for New Years. This was the second time for us and we have very fond memories of the first time we rang in the new year at Vegas. This trip did not fall short. We arrived late Wednesday night and the next afternoon, we headed off to Palace Station. When we arrived, there was already a line for the Oyster Bar. The prime seating is definitely at the side of the bar where you can watch the chef shuck oysters (in a grumpy manner) and fill up these hanging pots where he cooks jambalaya, gumbo, and the suggested dish, the pan roast.
Was Oyster Bar everything we hoped it to be? Definitely! The oysters were fresh and we watched the chef open up first 1/2 a dozen and then shortly later, a dozen more. He was not happy with us when we decided to order another dozen. There was grumbling, a dirty look, and more grumbling. By the time we left, though, he was in a much better mood. We also ordered the Palace Pan Roast, which included chicken, shrimp, and andouille sausage in a thick, cream-like soup with a scoop of rice. The pan roast fell in the category of comfort food with its warm, savory taste. Taro and I shared the pan roast and there was plenty to share; by the time we were done, we were stuffed!
We look forward to going to the Oyster Bar again. I am sure the next time it will be just as tasty and delicious!
We met this friendly couple sitting at the counter who drove all the way from Texas to Vegas! She was not a fan of oysters, but he was and indulged in a dozen. We had to share a Bloody Mary Oyster Shooter with him (we had three of them) just because he, too, was thrilled about the food and heard amazing things about the restaurant at the tables.
