text: I cannot believe I almost did not try this place nnWe had gone to Bacchanal the night before and I had more than gotten my oyster fix nWe were in town to watch the Kings battle the Avalanche at MGM and the game ended up going into a shootout Needless to say we were pretty hungry at that point but did not want to eat anything we would regret the next morning I perused my bookmarks and the boyfriend thought Oyster Bar was the most benign choice nnFirst off this place is literally a bar The maximum occupancy is probably right at people The menu is concise which helps with the efficiency of the turnover rate We were the third party in line and waited approximately minutes Let me tell you that the wait is worthwhile I have waited over hours to get ciopino in San Francisco so this was a cake walk nnThe bar is really unique The chefs prepare everything in front of you There are maybe cooking stations big metal pots where they cook the dishes to order And you get to enjoy yummy smells from all the pots nnThe boyfriend started off with a half dozen raw oysters which were shucked by our server They were huge and fresh according to him We decided to split a ciopino Split charges are The serving size was decent I could have easily polished it off on my own but it was late and I did not want to overstuff myself We had an option for rice or pasta which we thought was a little strange We politely declined both we also did not see the split charge It may be because we skipped the starch side Once the ciopino came out we understood why pasta was an option The soup portion was hearty much like a pasta sauce It was rich and flavorful and the seafood was cooked to absolute perfection nnI will definitely be back I would love to try the raw sampler platter and one of the stews Those are made with a tomato and cream base and smelled amazing when the chef was cooking it in front of us
