Sushi is amazing. I was there for my anniversary and forgot to review, the spicy tuna roll is amazing. I recommend this place better than the steakhouse.

Had a great meal before a concert. The oysters were fresh, the sushi was delicious and the service was great. Highly recommend as one of your meals while at Harrah's!

We had a great experiences all the way from Ryan the manager who arranged a special seating for 10 of us and checked on us regular. Brandi our server was on point and huddled to see that each and one was happy with wine , food and Service. No one had a bad comment I. The food and yea they now have oyster crackers for their good Clam Chowder! Thanks to all the staff and Rachel sorry we missed you !!!

Never had been to Harrah's So Cal but attended a concert there last night with dinner before at Salt & Fin. Honestly, dinner was better than the concert and that was pretty darn good, too. Waited about 15 minutes for two spots at the Oyster Bar but ended up deciding to go with a table so we could order from both the Bar and restaurant menus. Had oysters two ways and they were scrumptious and obviously fresh. As was the two sushi rolls we probably over ordered after having the delicious sautéed bok choi, too. Needless to say, we decided against desert! Overall, I think this was the best choice out of Gordon Ramsey and a steak restaurant on either side of Salt & Fin. Kudos to Rachel and Jen for superlative service and for just being nice people! Not sure if I'm ever going back to Harrah's but dinner here might be reason enough!

Yes, yes, yes. Oh my goodness; yes. Their food is so freaking good. The service is prompt, kind, and exceptional. And the ambience of the restaurant is fitting, and it is soothing. If you haven't been here, yet, it is a must!

It was a great dining experience. A friend and I visited here to have oysters and they were delicious. Service is fast. And their take on chips is unique.

Came for the pan roast, so disappointed. The broth/stew was very thin, almost like soup and very bland. Very very bland. Couldnt even finish it. Needs more seasoning. The service was good, they were more attentive when food came out. The order off pod needed work. We ordered the oysters and the guy didn't start shucking our oysters till ten mins later. We wanted our oysters first and then our sushi. The sushi came first and then oysters right after. Then while we weren't even finished with the sushi, the pan roast came out. There was no awareness of what came out and what we wanted. Several plates in front of us. The sushi was the best part. California and rainbow was sooooo good. They used real crab in the California roll which you can taste. Will come back for the sushi.

Came in on a Sunday to see a concert. Wait was minimal, but I have to mention that our waiter Javier went above and beyond to make our experience top notch. He was very attentive and he made sure that we were taken care of. I highly recommend the oyster bar. Great food and exceptional service. Thanks to Javier.

Great assortment of seafood. Fresh and very tasty. The seafood tower was enormous. Between the two of us it was challenging to finish

Was excited to see this back open again but come to my surprise the food wasnt quite what it was before.We ordered the dressed oysters, clam chowder, cioppino and pan roast.Dressed oysters was meh.Clam Chowder was meh and didnt come with crackers. Crackers was an additional $3. SMHCioppino and Pan Roast, the taste was good but they had big chunks of tomatoes that you can really choke on or doesnt look appetizing to eat. Isnt it suppose to be a soup or broth base? It was not like that before. Plus the lack of amount of seafood that came with the dish is not worth it like before.On top of the that, doesnt come with bread like before when you wait. Extra $5 for that. It would be nice to dip the bread in those dishes.Well...at least we tried it and not going back. Disappointed!

Great service at the Oyster Bar! Chefs are fun to chat with and watching them prepare our orders. The Pan Roast is excellent and a treasured staple from the old Oyster Bar. Definitely can't wait to come back and try their sushi!!

Trish L.

So glad this joint is open again! Javier, our waiter, was the best. Took care of us from start to finish. Highly recommend coming back and giving them a try...you will not be disappointed!

So I had this conversation with the manager named "Ryan". I inquired why was the service so bad? I could not get a waiter to take my order. I felt so invisible sitting at the bar of all places??? I was finally able to get service and place an order. I am now so happy I'm a visible sitting there with 2 friends. The food comes out and we have no plates, utensils and condiments. I become invisible again. No service so I decided to take it upon myself to gather my utensils and napkin. Lowwww and behold Ryan approaches me and ask what do I need? I stated the basics. Plates utensils napkins. Things that I would need to enjoy a meal aka eat a meal. I'm ready to dive into the seafood tower. But WAIT... where's my horseradish??? Oh boy, more waiting to get my horseradish. Conversation with Ryan yielded...We are sorry. Chefs are now taking responsibility as waiters and cashiers. They are trying to "BALANCE" their position. That is corporate trying to cut cost!!! I mention to Ryan their business model / strategy is hurting customers and our patience Response.... It's been pretty bad with service but we are trying. WTF...... it ain't working. Acknowledge it... Pay for your mistakes and move on. Satisfy your patrons. Overall no blame on chefs, waiters, host, bartenders. Harrahs I'm talking to you!!!! Stop being so greedy. Here's a side note. Harrahs ...u take our money in so easily. Why is it so hard to take our money out at the cashier?. Business model / business strategy?
