Our server was excellent. The happy hour food was mediocre as most happy hour food is. The staff is wonderful and the place has a fun vibe. I’ve been going here for years.

The food was delicious, as usual and so was the service. Emerson was great! I would have given 5 stars for the food but the Cesar salad was mostly wilted and brown-tinged lettuce, also the other guests said the sea bass needed salt (seasoning). Everything else was excellent.

I had a wonderful birthday experience! Kevin made me feel truly welcomed and celebrated. The food was excellent — I especially enjoyed the calamari. I was surprised with a birthday dessert and candle, and the chef, Whitney, even came out to greet us with a rose and champagne. It was such a thoughtful touch. I would definitely come again!

Blue Plate Oysterette

Seafood

Santa Monica

About the 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.
