After sadly finding out that Seablue at the MGM is temporarily closed, we left scrambling for a quick but nice early seafood dinner.  Emeril's menu seemed to have us covered, and during their happy hour (bar-only), it seemed fortuitous.  \n\nWe ate half a dozen oysters at their happy-hour prices, which were a good start.  The prie fixe menu - soup, salad, entree and dessert seemed like a good deal, as well.\n\nThe duck confit salad was surprisingly luxurious.  The clam chowder was sufficiently clammy and salty.  The entree of Sweet Barbecue Glazed Salmon was plentiful and filling, while also being more sweet than anything.  \n\nMy friend's entree of what looked to be Scallops in Spaghetti looked down right sad.  Barely a tiny bowl's worth of food, and it honestly looked like it came from a can.  Yes, spaghetti from a can, with tiny scallops added to it.  \n\nDessert came and went, the Bread Pudding being extremely buttery.\n\nThe service was courteous when they came by at the bar, but otherwise, they were really more interested in whatever else they were doing - maybe setting up for the rest of the night, filling table orders.\n\nAll in all - did I feel like my dinner was worth the $63?  Yes, it's a fair value for the strip.  My friends?  Not even close.\n\nI miss Seablue.
