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.

    Sat outside so was a little cool, but I asked to drop one of the wind blocking shades and they did it promptly. Ordered the prawn cocktail, octopus, and scallop special. All are worth ordering. The prawns and octopus were some of the best I’ve ever had.

    I love the Water Grill. The food is consistently great and they have the friendliest corkage policy in Los Angeles - free corkage. You can't beat that for "friendly". Service is always helpful and they work hard. The only problem is that they often are assigned too many tables, which slows the service down. But you can just sit back and enjoy the wine you brought!!
