Big Sur Oyster Bar

In South Point casino, in Las Vegas, Big Sur Oyster Bar has a happy hour of half off oysters and clams and a special on king crab legs. When I ordered the crab legs, I was very excited because crab is my favorite seafood meat. When the legs arrived on a plate, and I tasted them, I was less than unimpressed. Having been cut in half, the legs were cold and still tasted of seawater. Mostly flavorless and dry, I had to dip them in the melted butter they provided me with on my plate. As I ate, I began to understand why there was such a good deal and yet thought that $29 for  a 1.5lbs of crab meat was a bit expensive for what I got. The crab legs were a huge disappointment, while the oysters and clams had to be doused in lemon juice to ignore the gritty and dirty texture that signifies lesser shells. The chefs and servers were nice, however that did not make my experience much better. I come there mainly for food not because the waiters are efficient, which they weren't entirely fast either. I do not recommend the Big Sur Oyster Bar. There are other places you can get better oysters and clams that are worth the higher price than the ones at Big Sur.
