Top Tags:

Blue Plate Oysterette was inspired by East Hampton summer lobster bakes and mouthwatering lunches at Montauk’s favorite roadside eateries. With influences like Pearl Oyster Bar and Mary’s Fish Camp in New York, Oysterette serves lunch and dinner seven days a week with a menu straight out of the seafood shacks you find on the East Coast. Chunky, overflowing lobster rolls, buckets of steamed clams in broth so flavorful that bread demands to be dunked, clam chowder, mussels in broth, ceviche, and raw shellfish so fresh you can smell the ocean. Filling the void in the Westside restaurant scene for a casual, beachy, seafood restaurant and buzzing neighborhood vibe appealing to both surfers and studio heads.

Food was out of this world! Service was mediocre. We were totally perplexed when they came to clear our plates away we asked if we could get some key lime pie our waiter told us sorry we couldn't have any because they were closed. I thought he was joking at first but he wasn't. I looked at my watch and it was 10:03. I guess they close at 10. It was really odd. Then he brought the credit card reader to our table he stood looking over my shoulder and watched as I entered the tip. It was uncomfortable.

We were seated 40 minutes after our reservation time. Service was initially good but then never saw our waitress again until someone else brought the check. The artichoke appetizer as well as the guacamole were excellent. Entrees were overall average.

I understand that inflation has increased prices but you need to put a little more than 1 fish stick sized piece of fish in your tacos for the price you charge. Especially since you’re using such cheap cuts of fish for the meal.

I am so pleased that they are again serving the red curry mussels. This has been my all time favorite for more than 10 years. Also, the coating on the fish & chips is back to being light, not cakey. Brava to the new chef!

Was always a favorite at the beach, but our last visit was disappointing. Music and general noise level have increased significantly. The shrimp Louie salad included a disappointing three medium prawns. Truffle Fries tasted as though they had sat on a counter for too long before serving. The Curry Muscles with coconut rice and the Fish and Chips were both excellent.

I have missed oysters since I left Maryland many years ago and have lived in Phoenix. I have only been able to get great oysters at a few places in a few states when on vacation. I was thrilled to see a restaurant devoted to oysters on Open Table when I was visiting Santa Monica. I was looking forward to it all day and it even exceeded my expectations. They had grilled oysters available as a happy hour special. They were large, wonderfully seasoned, and delicious! The service folks were also great-friendly and efficient.

For the price, I expected more value, more flavor, and food that was warm (instead of room temperature) when it got to the table. I was disappointed on all counts. I had eaten here a lot before the pandemic and I'd had a couple of excellent meals. Not the case on my most recent visit. The wait staff was friendly and attentive but the food was not remarkable. I wont' be back.

Waiter was attentive and pleasant. Truffle fries the bomb. However, They forgot my husband’s salad and my son’s dinner arrived 20 minutes after everyone else. ( It was deducted from the total.) Outside chairs very uncomfortable. Not enough insulation from the wind. Very noisy. Nice setting across from the ocean. Rated highly but we were disappointed.

Since 2011, this has been one of our favorite places to eat for my son and I every chance we get to lunch or dine out together (lol). It never fails always good just right for any mood, occasion or season that you are in. Oysters, mussels in red curry…lobster roll so delicious in one seating and on top of it eating with my favorite son!!!!! Cheers!
