   I suggest a reservation - Pierre had a friendly greeting and Bertha provided great service - My Wife had the Boston Clam Chowder - I had the Corn & Crab Bisque and a Wedge Salad. We shared a Calamari appetizer - It was very fresh and prepared perfectly - so good!

   You can tell they were short staffed. Hostess was stressed out. She was cleaning tables and seating customers. She would clean a table but bring customers to another table and say “they didn’t clean it!” She would leave you standing in the middle of the walk way while cleaning the table. Not sure why she didn’t place customers at the table she already cleaned. It took forever for the waitress to take our order. The young guy serving bread and drinks, was nice but you can tell he just got hired. He slid our bread to us by placing his whole hand on our bread. I watched him dig his finger in his ear while serving another table too. I told the waitress what happened to our bread. She apologized and brought us a fresh one. Food looked lost in the bread. Fish was smaller than the bun. The whole sandwich tasted like bread. I ended up just eating one slice of bread. Fish lacked seasoning. The lobster pasta was nothing special. Tasted like the pasta I buy from Costco. Waitress never checked on us. Took forever to receive our check. We still tipped her 18% since it wasn’t her fault they were short staffed. I guess she was trying her best. She did focus more on the large table. Probably hoping they give her a huge tip. Little do you know, sometimes smaller tables give you even bigger tips! We usually tip 50% or more, but you have to be on top of everything and have at least a short conversation with us. I feel they shouldn’t open so many tables if they are short staffed and can’t handle it. It’s sad when you hear the staff cuss under their breath because they are overwhelmed. We won’t be coming back for a while since this experience wasn’t too great. It’s actually one of our favorite restaurants and I’m so disappointed our experience was unpleasant this time.

   I suggest a reservation - We were greeted and quickly seated. The Restaurant was very busy - Bertha was a great server. Lobster Raviolis, Wedge Salads and Crab & Corn Bisque were wonderful.

   The wait person was awful. The restaurant was slow on a Sunday and the food came out slow. We had to get are own extra napkins. The food is really good. I would come for the food but not dir the service.

   Our reservation at 5.45 was good as it had not started to get crowded. We were sat promptly. Clam chowder was amazing as always. Ordered Calamari and a PoBoy. The presentation of our calamari in a plastic basket draws away from the ambiance of the evening. First time ordering a PoBoy here. It was good.. but Average. Next time I might try the pasta.

   My husband and I had a delicious and plentiful meal at the Nugget Oyster Bar. We arrived just after 5 pm on a Saturday evening and were seated immediately as the restaurant wasn't very full yet. Service was quick and efficient, we both truly enjoyed our food, and both of us took home half of our dinners because the servings were so generous. It's a fairly long trek from the Self-Parking Garage to the far west side of the casino where the restaurant is located, but it was worth the effort!

    The service and food was good. However, the prices have increased about 33% in the last couple of months. I don't believe the cost of the food has increased that much. I only eat there because I get discounts from the casino.

    We came from Idaho we drove on Friday to get there Saturday and Sunday we stayed there had a great time met some wonderful ladies in the oyster bar line set right with them for dinner it was a wonderful experience I would definitely do this over again the only thing I wish they could have accommodate is people with the food allergies like nuts and fish would have something on their menu more that they could eat and not have to worry about press contaminating but I'm over all we had a wonderful wonderful time and we want to thank everybody it was sure worth the drive long ways lot of hours but it was worth every bit of it hope to see everybody again someday had a great time love playing bingo love the oyster bar

    Had a reservation for 730 and was told I had to wait in a line to be seated. One was taken in based on the reservation time. Very poor way of getting people in. I finally got seated 55 minutes after my reservation time and I was 15 before my Reservation so well over an hour wait. Very Unorganized and the fact people weren’t taken in who had reservation times after or no reservation at all was very unprofessional. Not sure why we were told that you had to have a reservation if they were not going to be honored. Won’t recommend based on the service to get in only. Waitress was good and food was too.

    The maitre d' was either tired or having a bad day. When we entered the restaurant, he was not welcoming at all. Seemed too busy to take care of us. (Note: there were no many people at the time we arrived.) What a difference when the young man who brings bread and what we would like to drink. He was such a happy person. Elsa, our server, again smiled and wanted to make our time at the Oyster Bar a happy and enjoyable one. The food was filling and inexpensive. We usually visit the restaurant two or three times a year and usually the clam chowder is fantastic. This time, it was just okay.

    Great food at reasonable prices. The service was fast and friendly. The menu is almost entirely shellfish, so if someone in your group can’t eat shellfish, might not be the best option. There are a couple of options like a chicken sandwich and fish and chips, though.

    We came to Nugget for the oyster bar, totally loved the nautical setting. Our server Michadl was attentive, very nice and friendly, also the host and the manager of the restaurant were very nice as well, everyone made us feel welcoming. Service was good. We had a dozen of fresh oysters and surprised to find it was actually "baker dozen", haven't seen restaurants serve dozen oysters with an extra piece. I thought it would be better if Michael would describe what kinds of oysters were on the platter, because we tasted three different kinds. Crab Louie salad had lots of crab meat. The seafood combo pan roast was so delicious, the soup base tasted like lobster bisque, no wonder the pan roast was their signature.

    The price was good and food was good. Being such a nice atmosphere and well known, I was VERY surprised that there wasn’t any fish available that was grilled or broiled. Your fish was by far better than Long John Silvers but still both of you serve out of a deepfryer. I removed the breading and fish was very good. With the nice atmosphere I would expect swordfish, grilled halibut, grilled shrimp and more upper end seafood dishes. I think you could “up your game “.!!

    It was just okay after two visits. Whoever is shucking the oysters didn't cut them loose from the shell they were served in. Luckily, I had me trusty Swiss Army knife with me. Soft-shell Crab sandwich was a disappointment. You don't have many choices if you're not leaving the Nugget.

There was a huge piece of fish on the plate of Fish & Chips - it was wonderful. The Lobster Raviolis were great - My Corn & Crab Bisque was super.
