Las Vegas, NV September 1, 2007 – Chef Rick Moonen is now offering lunch service from 11am to 5pm daily at rm seafood lower level. There aren’t many restaurants where you can experience such an array of seafood delights. The menu features the unique blend of new wave sushi and the comfort food of a roadside New England clam shack.
                     
The sushi chefs ply their trade daily in front of a 300 gallon lobster tank and towering shellfish display. Sushi offerings find root in Japanese cuisine, but pay homage to French, Italian, and Latin cuisines, what they call “Edo-style Euro sushi.” That means at any time they’ll be working with geleés, infused olive oils, or jalapeno vinaigrettes and always with the freshest the seafood the ocean has to offer. Depending on your idea of lunch, a seat at the sushi bar could translate to a simple roll and a pleasant exchange with the sushi chef or it could mean an “Omakase!” experience replete with quick knives, cutting-edge technique, and micro-brew beers and small-batch sake from the full-service bar.  

Across the dining room, there’s another approach to “raw” taking place as experienced shuckers serve up oysters and clams on the half-shell. Featuring coldwater oysters from both the Pacific and Atlantic with selections changing daily depending on what oysters are at their peak in freshness and flavor, there are up to eight varieties on hand daily and over fifty varieties of oysters will grace the list over the year. Just check out the chalkboard to see what’s being offered that day… as well as the ever-changing vodka oyster shooter special. A raw lunch can also mean a healthy and hearty mixed green salad with cherry tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette, a zesty Greek Salad, or Caesar salad with homemade croutons.

Tipping a hat to the quick and easy comfort food of Northeastern clam shacks and chowder houses, try a bowl of chef Rick’s famous white clam chowder with littlenecks and chopped herbs or fried soft-belly Ipswich clams over fries with tartar sauce. There’s also salt and pepper calamari from fresh California squid, fried clam rolls, and jumbo shrimp cocktail. As is always the case at a Rick Moonen joint, all the shellfish is sustainably farmed or caught from abundant wild populations under sound management.

Whether it’s at the sushi bar or clam shack, lunch at RM Seafood means a delicious and unique approach to seafood, whichever way you decide to eat!
