Well , as one of the three restaurants in Los Angeles that sells Whole Belly, fried Ipswich Clams ! They have another New England favorite: The Lobster Roll . Both are excellent! Oyster selection superb!

The warm-dressed Lobster Roll . About as far from New England as one can get in the lower 48-but, it's as authentic as those you can find at every Crab shack on Cape Cod or further Down East.

Sit outside and ask your waiter to put together a sampler of oysters to amuse your bouche. Don't fill up on appeteasers though - save room for the lobster roll , your taste buds will heart you for it.

Lobster roll is amaze. Soft buttery roll with a light crisp. Compact and seasoned to perfection. Share this and a bowl of the chowder - they'll split it and make it for two.

Laila 🎈

Great for sea food with different selection in the menu. Lobster mac and cheese , calamari and spicy rice tuna is a must.

Alex Still

Great seafood spot right on the main drag in Santa Monica, the local oysters are super fresh and delicious and they have oyster happy hour every day!

Sherri Simpson

The country 's most varied culinary scene is arguably found in the Los Angeles area. The perfect lobster roll , served with homemade sweet potato chips on the side and atop a split brioche bread .

Kevin Rusnak

Everything I read about this place on Foursquare was 100% accurate! The only addition: Sit at the bar ! I had Tiesha as a server and great guests on each side of me! A wonderful dining experience!

Oysters are amazing. Lots of options. Good view of the water. Rosé was great. Good place to grab lunch or a quick oyster sesh.

Ask the staff for their oyster recommendations. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

Armine Shamiryan

Such a cute place! Good wines and the most amazing skillet roasted mussels ! I am still thinking about the mussels ! Great burger !

Heidi Q

Great people. Great service. Great food. I've found a new favorite, although the lobster was overcooked and tough. Oysters were great and mussels in red curry were a highlight.

Rachel K

Limited vegetarian options : grilled artichoke , simple salads , a do it yourself rice bowl of coconut brown rice + Brussel sprouts + cocktail sauce .

Jennifer Maas

Garlic bread , mac and cheese , and the seasonal lobster pot pie were all amazing.

Jessica Trevino

Oysters are amazing! Even better with Villa Sandi Prosecco . Staff extremely friendly , great place with good atmosphere and extremely dog friendly .

Never knew that fish taco can be this much good. Get their lobster roll (in maine style) also!

I am from the east coast and have never had Kumial Ousters from Mexico .dabbed with the fresh shaved Horseradish and Mingonette they were wonderful !

The key lime pie is a must try. The surrounding crust is delicious.

The Old Bay Aioli with the artichokes was to die for! Being from Maryland, this is a restaurant that tastes like home. Get the Old Bay fries , also!

Caroline Nam

Amazing crab cake ! Delicious curry mussels . Loads of lobster claws in the mac-n-cheese! Fish tacos were dry, tasteless, and small. Key lime pie was ok.
