About this restaurant

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.

Too many homeless circling around. Sadly it’s not the restaurants fault but ruins the experience.

This was easily the best meal of our trip to LA out of many restaurants we tried. The experience and service were perfect. We were immediately seated a few minutes ahead of our reservation time, and our server was at our table right away. He was knowledgeable about everything on the menu and had great recommendations. The noise level was not obtrusive at all, and the ambiance as great; it’s very nice but not stuffy. The food was fantastic. I had branzino that was delicious, and we had some really nice oysters. They make a great Old-Fashioned. I’m picky as can be and have unreasonably high expectations. And I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Get the branzino and some oysters. Finish it off with some key lime pie, you will not regret it.

Lobster Mac and cheese was quite good. It was a bit chilly inside however as the front doors were open. A pricey lunch but that’s to be expected given the location.

My sister and I enjoyed our dinner. We sat on the patio. Was a little chilly with jacket and sweater near the heater. Food was yummy. Our waiter made excellent suggestions and gave wonderful service. We will definitely make the trip again from Ventura County in the summer time. Thank you for a pleasant evening of delicious seafood.

The restaurant was quaint and cozy inside. The food was amazing! We especially liked the lobster mac and cheese. We would go back just for it! I also enjoyed the grilled oysters and bouillabaisse. The hostess, waiter and busboy were really nice too. Would definitely recommend!
