One hallmark of a remarkable dining experience in Las Vegas is the memory of it lingers. Given we’re still thinking about Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab long after our visit, it more than qualifies.<\/p>\n

And we aren’t even a seafood person.<\/p>\n

\"Joe's
If you’re not salivating by the time you finish this story, we have failed miserably.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab has been a fixture at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace since 2004.<\/p>\n

It’s rumored the restaurant is one of the most profitable in all of Las Vegas, and it’s easy to see why. Hint: It’s the awesome.<\/p>\n

\"Joe's
Start in the bar. In Las Vegas, it’s the law.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From Joe’s elevated but unpretentious atmosphere to its stellar cocktails and mind-blowing entrees, this restaurant is a must-try.<\/p>\n

Once you try it, expect to discover your latest dining addiction in Las Vegas. As if you didn’t have enough places to love, already.<\/p>\n

Let’s kick things off with an amazing cocktail, one our waiter (more about him in a minute) said is about the only signature drink offered.<\/p>\n

Most of the cocktail menu consists of classics, but the South Beach Peach cocktail is an original and joins our roster of world-class panty-droppers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Joe's
“Pantry-droppers” should be shared by consenting adults, so no need to get indignant.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There’s a wide selection of appetizers as you might expect, with a decidedly seafood bent, including fried calamari ($15.95), oysters Rockefeller ($18.95), charred octopus ($17.95) and jumbo shrimp cocktail ($18.95).<\/p>\n

We really need to just skip listing the prices, because it’s Vegas, and money is no object! Translation: Our friend paid. Moving on.<\/p>\n

\"Joe's
Kusshi (Japanese for “precious”) oysters were priced at “market,” so good luck with that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The menu at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab holds one delight after another, so let’s just dive into the goodness.<\/p>\n

Joe’s is known for its crab, and the Alaskan king crab got rave reviews from the seafood-lovers in our party.<\/p>\n

\"Joe's
It’s all fun and games until somebody puts an eye out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Joe’s has a guy who cracks, cuts and trims the crab legs for you, so don’t worry about breaking a nail.<\/p>\n

\"Crab
There’s probably a name for this gig. Crab sheller? Shucker? Enabler? Oh, just eat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Let’s just say every entree and every side was spectacular in quality, quantity and presentation.<\/p>\n

The Filet Oscar ($49.95) made one of our dining companions swoon. Literally.<\/p>\n

\"Joe's
This food has not been styled. This is just how it looks. In real life.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There were three highlights of our evening at Joe’s. You’ve seen the first, it was the South Beach Peach. Plural.<\/p>\n

Second, we had one of the best steaks we’ve ever had in Las Vegas, and we’ve been to just about every steakhouse in town. The bone-in filet mignon ($58.95) is in the “Bone-In Signature Prime Steaks” portion of the menu, and has probably ruined us for any other filet mignon, ever.<\/p>\n

\"Joe's
Behold, 16 succulent ounces of paid vacation for your taste receptors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A third highlight of our evening was meeting John Lucas. We’d call John a server, but that’s like calling Michelangelo a “proficient doodler.”<\/p>\n

Lucas’ whip-smart banter and exhaustive knowledge of the menu helped make a great meal into an utterly unforgettable evening on the town.<\/p>\n

\"John
John needs his own TV series. Please get on that, Hollywood producers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lucas deftly orchestrated delivery and removal of plates and glasses, timing courses masterfully and shepherding others on the team at Joe’s in a way that was a wonder to watch.<\/p>\n

Our only observation would be the masterful orchestration of the waitstaff wouldn’t be necessary if the booths weren’t so small. Then again, the food’s so good, elbow room be damned.<\/p>\n

\"Joe's
Casual dress, lively vibe, no loud music. We would like to kiss you deeply on the mouth, Joe’s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As so often happens during a restaurant outing in Las Vegas, self-restraint flies out the window at Joe’s, but you’ll want to show a little because at this restaurant, desserts aren’t just understudies, they’re superstars in their own right.<\/p>\n

And we aren’t even a pie person.<\/p>\n

First up, some kind of pie with berries. They appear blue.<\/p>\n

\"Joe's
We tried taking a bite and nearly lost our hand. People are very passionate about pie.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then we had what can only be described as an orgasm on a plate. Check out Joe’s banana cream pie ($9.95).<\/p>\n

\"Joe's
We’re fairly sure the banana cream pie at Joe’s could bring about world peace.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just wow. We’ve always sort of hated the texture of pie, but that dislike ended the moment we took a bite of the banana cream pie. We may go back just to have it again.<\/p>\n

Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab more than exceeded all our expectations, and as we said, our meal has crossed our mind innumerable times since our visit.<\/p>\n

The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace is about the only shopping mall worthy of Joe’s.<\/p>\n

\"Forum
Hey, we have to throw a little love to Pinterest<\/a> every once in awhile. More than 160,000 people visit our boards each month. It’s not bragging if it’s true.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you give Joe’s a try, let us know if you enjoyed it as much as we did, although we’re fairly sure that’s not possible.<\/p>\n
