Came here due to high praises from a couple friends and I was not disappointed.\n\nI first tried it a friend of mine. Ordered the following items:\n\n- Pan Roast, Combo with level 5 spicy. Texture is creamy (slightly thick). \n\n- Etouffee, level 5 spicy. Texture is soupy.\n\nBoth were very tasty and the ingredients was fresh and generous. At first glance, I thought certain pieces were scallop but it was actually lobster meat.\nWe liked it so much that we back the very next day and brought 7 other friends. We all loved it and had so much fun and laughter. Many thanx to Sandra the waitress, Bob the chef and one other chef (Asian guy) but I didn't get his name. If the owner is reading this, we dined around 3:30pm on September 7th, 2012. Sandra is a sweet heart. She knew we had a large party and did her best to seat us all together and made sure we were happy and taken care off. Bob has a very sarcastic sense of humor and bantered with us the whole time and so did the other Asian chef when they had the shift change. We all believe Bob overheard us saying that level 5 spicy wasn't that spicy and took offense. When all of my friends ordered level 7, I think he gave it something extra because it was SPICY. Luckily for me, he didn't cook my dish until last so I was able to taste my friend's level 7. Immediately after sampling level 7, I barked at Bob to make mine a level 6. He looked at me, laughed and called me a name that rhymed with wussie. Everyone at the counter busted out laughing. It was the most enjoyable part of my vacation. All of us definitely will be back.\n\nBy the way, the dish that I ordered the second time was cioppino. I loved it, thought it was better than pan roast and etouffee. I plan to keep ordering cioppino until I get sick of it.\n\nThe only complaint is that the dining area is quite small. Only 6 steam cooking devices and approx 18 seats. I wish they expand to hold more people. Luckily, they open 24 hours but still, I am sure most of the time, there is a wait. We waited 2 hours for our seats.\n\nThe very next weekend, I tried a place near my home in Southern California called the Broiler located in Chino Hills. The cooking method is the same but the taste is not. Ingredients didn't taste the same either. Maybe because Oyster Bar is backed by a casino so the result is that they can afford better quality items. \n\nLooks like I will be planning more trips to Vegas in the near future.
