Everything I had here was immaculate. Most notably, the seafood nachos, which are a winter item to my understanding. Keep them all year round! The staff is so friendly, the seating was great. I got the steel city lobster roll which was great. I am never disappointed when I come here!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Restaurant Week Seafood Nachos offering. Fish and chips were almost as good. Server was excellent. It was loud but tolerable noise level. The temperature of the restaurant was so cold that we needed to wear our winter coats throughout the meal. Definitely a restaurant that we’d return to enjoy another meal!

Food was excellent. My wife and I split a spicy tuna roll and the lobster bisque as starters. The roll was indeed spicy. Dinners were swordfish and the shrimp and scallops. Both were very good but my wife's potatoes were on the cold side. Service was very good, our server was on top of our drink and food orders. With lots of good options on the menu, we'll be going back soon.

We had a wonderful meal at the Wild Alaskan Grille! Our server, MaKayla, helped us choose some of the most popular dishes, and I have to say she was very knowledgable about the menu. Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. MaKayla even worked with the bartender to make sure my husband's cocktail was made perfectly. We had lobster bisque, Catfish Bites, the Hot Lobster Roll, the Baja Shrimp Volcano, and Crab-stuffed Salmon. My son inhaled the Key Lime Tart for dessert. We'll be back- a winning combination of great food, phenomenal service, and a fun ambiance.

We were looking forward to trying this restaurant. Our experience started positively when we were seated early for our reservation, then it pretty much went downhill. When we went to order our meal, we learned they were out of tuna, salmon and yellowfin for sushi- at 1pm. We needed to regroup. We ordered the catfish bites appetizer and waited about 10-15 minutes for it. It was good- fish was light and crispy. But then we waited close to an hour for our meals. Absolutely unacceptable. My husband ordered a simple fish sandwich and fries which should have been no problem, and I ordered sushi and some broccoli. Somehow the sushi came out in 50 min but we were still waiting for the sandwich, fries and broccoli. We didn’t give the server a hard time or make a big fuss, and she took his sandwich and fries off the bill, but we won’t be going back. The manager never came over either. There are too many fabulous places to eat in the Strip and throughout the city. This was a huge miss for us today.
