Review Oyster Bar - Sparks

My wife and I came here with high expectations, she order the lobster ravioli and it was excellent!! Portions were small! Myself I order the seafood extravaganza and ended up with food poisoning 3 hours later and was sicker than a dog!!

We came around 4pm and I had set a reservation for us beforehand. We were seated promptly and we got our order taken shortly after. The staff where very friendly and answered all our questions. The king crab at the moment was $87.99 for the pound if I’m not mistaken. Luckily they split it in half for you so it was easy to eat and super delicious. We also get a soup with it and I got calamari for us on the side. I was not a bug fan of the tomato sauce it was more like ketchup, I’d say more of a tangy marinara sauce would be perfect, but the tartar sauce was good.

Gumbo and extravaganza tasted amazing. A little short staffed, so I typed out our groups order on my phone including drinks and the server was able to quickly take our order. Our food came fast after it was put in. Lobster roll, lobster bisque and calamari wasn't bad.

After a same-week comparison of several local seafood pan roast offerings, my friends and I agree that the Nugget's Oyster Bar remains the absolute best in Reno/Sparks. The service is prompt and courteous, the bread is fresh and plentiful, and they refill your drink before you can think to ask. Five stars, and highly recommended!

Awesome awesome awesome food. I tipped the chef as well as the server. True comfort food! Gumbo and Fish &, Chips delicious. Prices actually less than I'd expected for the level of quality.

Food was good and service was prompt. One issue that really knocked the rating down was a $20 charge for asking for a particular vodka versus the house choice. 2 martinis ended up being $36 and was never mentioned at the time we ordered. Heard another table complain about this as well. Manager was too busy to discuss this with me.

Brandon was our sever. We set for at least 20 min before he acknowledged us. He then brought soup 15 min late still never any drinks. We finally had to get up and ask for drinks. Then as we waited we watched him eat fries off of a plate then serve it. Picked his nose, sneeze into his hands the grab food. It was absolutely disgusting and horrible service!!

Very bad experience, we had a lunch reservation for 11am. So we were the 3rd table seated, it wasnt busy. We ordered Soup, Calamari, fries, and a crab feast platter(steamed). 20 minutes later our fries and calamari came out. The waitress then told us they are not serving the soup they already let us ordered, so we dropped it off our order. Fries were not great, the calamari was good. Our platter came out after an hour, noon, our fries and calamari were long finished. Our platter of crab was completely cold, it was not streamed. So we sent it back to be properly streamed. At 1215 we are served the crab pictured below. It was completely over cooked and chewy. This was the worst crab we have ever had. The service was very poor also the waitress seemed to be short with us every time she came by. Very sad experience, I wish it would of been good. I will never go back to eat here.

Service. I love the shrimp pan roast and have been served it too many times to count over the last 40+ years. Yesterday was the first time I have had poor service. Perhaps better training is required.
