Valentine's Day we went to a dinner and the food was cooked right in front of us. A cajun flavor in the meal added to the fun. The line of people waiting to get in is an indication of how great the food is each night this place is open. The wine list is broad and comes quickly. The servers are polite and attentive to your needs. The line cooks (Evan & Jared) keep the food steaming and moving at a fast pace. I was amazed at the control they had over each steaming pan full of fresh seafood. read more

I've eaten here a couple times, and it's the best option for food at Talking Stick since the buffet has closed. No more AYCE crab legs , so seafood gumbo, pan roast it is. Located on the side of the casino floor. You can eat and get right back to gambling read more

Ocean Trail Nicolas, Najat, Sara were friendly and hard-working. Bloody Mary was good, a little spicy a little too sweet. I really enjoyed our jambalaya although it was missing something, the dirty rice was great. Overall it was a good experience and a very popular place. I WOULD RECOMMEND read more

I was dining solo before my friends arrived to hit the casino so I snagged a seat at the bar at Ocean Trail. This was definitely a great choice. The service was excellent and my food came out in a snap. I ordered the pan roast combo and when it came out I was shocked! This dish is huge... I mean you could share it with someone else and both be full. Plus they brought out this bread that I just couldn't resist. Make sure to save some for dippin and sopping up that sauce. I was in and out quickly and back to my room to get ready for the night. As far as casino prices goes, this dish was very reasonable for around thirty bucks. read more

Our go-to local seafood joint. Even for those who don't gamble but like the lively non-smoker atmosphere. Consistently great food and service. read more

This used to be by far one of my most favorite restaurants to go to once a week. Now I stay far away the last few times I went there the quality has decreased immensely. The fish actually taste old and the pan roast has some weird flavor to it now. I will never go back. It makes me sad because I loved it so much. read more

Best Cajun food in the city. A line does form so be patient because the wait is worth it. Everyone moves fast to in providing us good service. Love the gumbo. Be careful selecting the heat, they mean business. Portion is generous. My husband and I split the gumbo and still have leftovers. Atmosphere is also nice. Wish it was bigger but seems to work. Definitely recommend. read more

The heat is on, but the food is worth every penny! When I say heat, I mean piping hot amazing cuisine freshly made and stays hot, so be careful, and then we have the spice level. I enjoy spicy food and I get a one. My man gets a 3 and regrets it every time, so we tried 2 last time and he still wishes it was a 1 . read more

Ocean Trail - Creole pan roast combo is so full of seafood! The hurricane washed it down perfectly - Seafood Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

We wanted some good seafood, we walked in with really high hopes after reading all the reviews. We were just a little bit disappointed, and I think it's because we were expecting some top tasting seafood. Everyone here was nice the staff was really nice, we sat at the bar. We ordered gumbo and seafood creole, and half dozen oysters. It took quite some time for the food to come out, maybe about 30 minutes. And we ordered the half dozen oysters as an appetizer, needless to say it never came out. And when we were checking out, they had it on our bill. They did correct the issue, but it was clearly not the bartenders fault, the kitchen just didn't send out oysters. They have spice levels which I thought was pretty cool. My gumbo was missing something, maybe 2 things, I couldn't put my finger on it, but the flavor wasn't quite there. My S.O. Enjoyed her seafood creole. The plates that come out are HUGE! and the rolls were really good! I gave 3 stars for the wait on the food, they didn't deliver the oysters and that was a big deal to us, and lack of flavor in the gumbo. The site was slow, there wasn't very many people eating there while we were there. We probably won't try it again, we say the food was mediocre, but we are glad we tried it! read more

Insanely good food and great service. We had the simple stuff: etoufee and red beans, both some of the best we've had anywhere, including plenty of NOLA meals. Deep, rich flavor, silky texture and lots of savory seafood. They even have an oyster shooter flight, a first for me. Service is on point. Ambience: well, it's a small place in a casino, so.... read more

Good food. I ordered the pan roasted seafood level 5. I remembered them being bigger plant where I had to take some home. The cost went up by 30%! Eating out is not what it was. Food is still good. read more

Was in phoenix visiting a friend and he Suggested this place which is in a casino. It's extremely small and you basically sit at the bar and watch them cook. I got the shrimp and I have to say that it was so delicious. My friend got seafood but I have to say the highlight of the meal was the collard greens. They were amazing.. so flavorful and the Prosecco that went with it was delicious and a perfect pairing. read more

This is a restaurant located inside the casino. They have a small seating area as well as sitting at the bar which was where we were seated. It was nice to be able to watch everything being prepared. We got fresh oysters which is always delicious and the spicy creole seafood. It was really good but our mistake for getting spice level 10. They don't play! Luckily we can all eat spicy. read more

Let me start by saying that there is an oyster bar in Palace Station in Vegas and it is incredible. We would actually go to Vegas just to go to that oyster bar! So naturally, we were absolutely thrilled when we found that there might be something similar close to home. We live in Chandler Arizona, and when we found out about Ocean Trail at Talking Stick, we could not wait to give it a shot. We had pretty low expectations though, because we just didn't believe that there could be something so close to us that would be as good as the place in Vegas. Boy were we wrong! Ocean Trail is just such an amazing experience. The restaurant is nestled right in the center of the resort, and it is not very big at all, but we've never had a problem getting seated. They don't take reservations and you have to wait in a line to get in, but the wait is never that long. I think the longest we've waited is 20 minutes. And it is so worth the wait. The staff working there is so friendly and attentive, and the chef cooks to perfection. There's absolutely nothing that I can say negative about this place, if it is amazing and I will just let the pictures speak for themselves! read more

Ocean Trail - Pan roast - Seafood Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Not a lot of seats it may accommodate about 25 people inside the casino. You can watch them prepare your food. The food was clean, prepared precisely as we requested it. The staff was efficient somewhat pleasant. Overall, a good experience we go back here at least once a month. read more

Been coming to this place for years and always get the pan roast. I get it with the shrimp and with medium spice. It's always consistently good. They also serve you little sourdough bread rolls before dinner arrives and always have to ask for more to dip in the pan roast sauce. The service is always friendly and the atmosphere is very contemporary, if you are seated on the high tops around the bar where they are cooking. Most of the searing is high tops around the bar, but they do have a couple tables. read more

This place rocks!! Defiantly under-rated. Great creole and gumbo...they don't let you order takeout , which is a shame, but if you don't finish your dinner you can wrap it up:) Ocean Trail is only a small dining/bar space but you will be happy you waited if there is a line. read more

This place is located right inside of the talking stick casino. It is pretty small but the flavor of the food is really big!! I had the Pan Roast combo which includes crab, crawfish and shrimp. it was amaze balls!!! They give you a side of rice. You have the option between dirty rice and white rice, this is where my four stars come in to play. The dirty rice taste like liver, was oily and mushy. I would definitely come back again for dinner so I can try some cocktails as well. They have a great lunch from 11 to 3. Same exact menu as a dinner but smaller portion, for a cheaper amount read more

One of my favorites places to go for lunch. Being celiac I'm pretty picky about where and what I eat. There's not a ton of options for celiacs but they will be upfront with you and tell you what's available. I recommend getting there at 11am before the lunch crowd. I usually sit close to the food preparation area. They use simple fresh ingredients. It's fascinating watching how they make cooking look so easy. I get the lunch special Caesar salad no croutons and the Cajun style shrimp for $12 and sometimes when I'm feeling extra hungry I add a bowl of white rice $3.25. They ask your level of spicy from 1-10. So many fresh and delicious looking seafood. They also serve a nice bread basket for you gluten able folks. The staff treats you well and noticed you are a regular. Of course I would recommend this place! Yum! read more

This is a great place to catch a delicious lunch or dinner that's practically in the middle of talking stick casino. This came recommended to me from a neighbor and I'm glad I tried it. This place is small with limited seating, so there's a good chance you'll have to wait in line to get in. The staff was very accommodating and try to get you seated as quickly as possible. If you seat at the bar in the middle of the space you can watch the chef create these outstanding meals right in front of you. I tried the Combo Gumbo with some dirty rice which was big enough to share. What I think was original is that you can order the "heat" level you prefer, on a scale of 1-10. It was recommended by the server if you've never tried it start with a 2-3 range which I did and it was enough for me. My meal was fresh, and packed with flavor a great meal. read more

This was our first meal here in this resort, we are visiting from Vegas. I wanted to try their pan roast because we also have a very popular spot like this in Vegas. I have to say, their pan roast comes real close to what we have in Vegas, I like how they make their dirty rice with ground beef, it was very tasty. We also tried their chowders, the seafood chowder was a bit too salty for me but I usually eat to the lighter side so this is definitely subjective, it was very creamy though and our server was super nice to take it off our bill. We both liked their oysters too, they were fresh and had a sweet taste to it. The weekly dessert was also really good to end the meal with. Definitely recommend this place if you like seafood and pan roast read more

The staff here is first rate. Friendly and attentive. I enjoy sitting at the bar and watching the meal prep. The food is top notch - gumbo, creole, etouffee. Love crayfish etouffee... but have other options - shrimp, combo. Seafood is fresh and plentiful in each dish. Pay attention to heat! 0 to 10... medium/mild is like 1, 2, and 3. Small location at the casino. No reservations. But so worth it! Enjoy read more

Excellent service and a reasonably priced place to eat and enjoy Cajun/New Orleans Style cooking. The gumbo here was pretty dang good with lots of seafood and spicy flavoring. They can heat up your gumbo with pepper from 1-10. I had an 8 and it was pretty spicy but I still added more Louisiana style garlic pepper sauce to it. See photo. Really enjoyed the vibe here and would come again. read more

Ocean Trail - Combo Gumbo: Delish! - Seafood Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

What started out as a great evening celebrating my boyfriends 40th birthday we decided to go get some dinner and we sat down, ordered food, minding our business and next thing you know we are greeted by security escorting us out of the restaurant and were told we had to go to our room or leave the hotel. We were both very confused but the Food and Beverage manager at Ocean Trail and the Manager on Duty - Daniel accused my boyfriend of being intoxicated. ???!!! We were sitting there drinking water and having a conversation waiting for our food to come out, no one was intoxicated, no one was being loud or disrespectful or disruptive. We then escorted by security to our room and had to stay there or they said they would call the cops !!!! What a way to ruin our night ! We are still confused how that even happened when no one was intoxicated or anything! So I would beware about going there they are sure jumpy to point a finger at someone when you're doing anything wrong ! Thanks for ruining our celebration ! read more

Food was pretty good, and service was decent. Cocktails were lacking. The ambiance is terrible - feels like you are eating right in the middle of the casino. I recommend going to Tash or Orange Sky instead of eating at the casino/hotel. read more
