text: I hate to give any business a one star rating, particularly if the staff has been friendly,  but the quality of the food here is pretty bad.\n\nMe and my partner went for dinner the week before Christmas.\n\nWe were in town for a week.  This was the worst meal we had.\n\nWaiter was very enthusiastic.  There were no service problems.  The hostess out front was charming.\n\nPartner had the oysters.   He's quite the oyster eater, almost always ordering them in any seafood place.  He says they were among the worst he's had.  By and large for him it was a temperature thing.  Oysters are far better if they are really cold.  Some of his were pretty much room temperature.\n\nI had the calamari appetizer. It was piping hot, if somewhat bland.  Large chunks of calamari, in a very light and tasteless batter.\n\nHe had the fish and chips entree.  I had the bacon-wrapped scallops.\n\nHis was, as he put it, frozen Mrs. Pauls fish stick quality.  Bland.  Unfresh (if that's a word).  \n\nMy scallops were possibly the saltiest things I've ever put in my mouth.   And they had a slightly funky 'maybe they sat out all day' sortof taste.   The side vegetables were overcooked and bland.\n\nThe bathroom is pretty dirty.  A dirty bathroom in a seafood restaurant doesn't instill much confidence.\n\nI honestly wouldn't have been surprised to wake up the next day with food poisoning.\n\nDinner for two (no drinks) was around $70.  FAR too much for substandard seafood. \n\nIn a normal mall in a normal city maybe you'd just say 'eh' and consider it a lesson learned.\n\nBut this is Vegas, with literally unlimited dining choices.\n\nYou can do far, far better.  \n\nThe funny thing is, when we sat down we had an uneasy feeling about the place, so we checked the Yelp reviews.  But we didn't heed them.  Our mistake.\n\nRight down the corridor is Pampass, the Brazilian all you can eat steakhouse.  I didn't get a chance to try it, as I opted for Oyster Bay instead.  I regret that choice.  If you are reading this review outside Oyster Bay, check out Pampass instead.
