Found Oyster: Reviews & Ratings
Incredible service, so attentive and did their best despite dinner rush Very expensive and the place is pretty tiny and cramped The raw oysters themselves are underwhelming bc they are tiny, flavorless, didnt have cocktail sauce, and $4-5 each (from cape cop)- wouldn’t recommend Deep fried oysters- very fresh and good, but tiny portions Cod sandwich- really good, very fresh, recommend, wish the fries also came with garlic aioli Dirty martinis- good! Good price for them too Chowder- delicious
Bustling atmosphere with excellent seafood! Small storefront with Al fresco dining (those are actually the largest tables) and high top tables and bar seating inside. Amazing seafood and raw bar! We had the current oyster selections and were delighted. Their broiled oyster special was delicious so much so, we got more to end the meal! Jonah crab salad was also delicious - don't really need the Ritz crackers even! An service was stupendous and friendly! I highly recommended dining here, and do make reservations!
This place is soooo good. The server was very conscious of allergies and worked hard to accommodate. She was always there and ready. The staff in general kept the bites coming. The scallop tostado is one of the best things I’ve had. Several of the dishes were excellent. Of course, the oysters were delicious. Pleased we found this place.
One of our favorite restaurants in the city. The seafood is always high quality and delicious. The fries remind us of the McDonalds fries you had as a kid… crispy, fluffy inside… the best. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The sort of place you can tell people enjoy working.
I walked in without reservations but the food was worth the wait. I had the oysters, grilled bread with anchovies and the blue prawns special - everything was fresh and tasty + the service was one point. The perfect summer dining spot, I’ll definitely be back soon.
we got 6 oysters of the pick of the day, we got 4 mussels (10/10), the lobster roll and the key lime pie dessert. wow. everything was truly incredible. the oysters were fresh, cold and the cream in the mussels was to die for. one of those bites whose flavor palette keep expanding even after you swallow- aftertaste amazing with a light light kick. lobster roll bun was amazing, the lobster itself also taste extremely fresh, well seasoned and even creamy. 4 Stars on food because the key lime pie was a bit too sour and overpowering. overall, service fast and efficient, food excellent. immediately added to my favorite spots in LA.
We bellied up of course. A front row seat to expert shucking and being taken care of, this is always the feeling I’m after. Started with half a dozen Vinlands,they were elite. Clam Chowder also elite and well appointed with Westminster Bakers Co crackers which are the best oyster cracker, facts. Fries were solid. Fried Cod sandwich was fine but flavors and texture of the stack left something to be desired. Will defs go back it’s a delight and they got that good ice.
Delicious oysters, Sicilian crudo, and scallop tostada! Precise yet unfussy flavors and we loved the vermouth over ice. Beautiful decor and all the servers were so nice. We walked in and we sat immediately at a high top table. Perfect spot for a date night, fast service, charming all around!
