Chef Michael Cimarusti is serving up tried and true sea-centric constructions made with top quality ingredients and only the best sea animals, plus a burger topped with Hook's four-year-aged cheddar .

We had chef’s oyster tasting and catch of the day (monkfish & sea bass ) - all extremely delicious! Great service as well , Whit was the best waiter we had during our whole CA road trip! 👍🏻💯

Connie Chiu

Highlights: unit toast , lobster roll (that buttery buttery bread ), and angel on horses. Try the angel dish, it's so surprisingly and uniquely delicious. Love the open air seating .

Excellent food and service! The craft cocktails amazing too! everything I had was divine, from crab cake , lobster roll to coleslaw and fries , the best, the pickles ! You have to have the pickles !

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Really fun place. Oysters are great and Alaskan halibut is delicious. Blondie for dessert is recommended - esp good if you top it off with an espresso making it a blonde affogato

Adrian Phillips

It's a bit of a scene but the place is huge and the food is great if not a little expensive . The fish and chips were fantastic and the scallops I tried were some of the best I've had in a while.

Jennifer

Ask to sit on the patio . The fish is fresh and perfectly cooked, the service is lovely, and the stuffed clams are a rare treat on the West Coast. And Connie & Ted's is surprisingly kid-friendly.

Marleine Pacilio

Hot. Lobster . Roll. End of discussion. It really is ridiculously good, even for an east coaster who's used to Maine lobster . The Indian Pudding is uniquely delicious too. Great service. A+

Bruce Brown

Why not try both the warm and cold lobster rolls ? Then cut them in half and compare and contrast. I did with my friend Tami and the warm lobster roll won by a slight margin in our test. your result?

Kevin B

loved josephine's clam cakes & the asparagus au gratin (the sauce is amazing) the portion is bit small. The shellfish marinara is great too (all mussels portion). overall good seafood for la la land.

Jennifer Maas

The lobster roll , warm with butter, is the best I've had on the West Coast. The Blondie for dessert . Oysters always. Clam chowder perfect.

Andrew Galdi

I recommend the warm lobster roll with drawn butter . Also the fries are yummy. Their oysters may be the best in town ! Slurp

Justin Satzman

The food was great. I had the halibut that was herb crusted, potato salad & spinach . Also for an app, we had the calamari and bread . Other people had the fish and chips and the salmon .

Traci Coulter

Picking your own lobster is something you don't see much on the west coast and reminded me of summers back home. Everything is really good. Highly recommend the New England boiled dinner . And Chowda!

At Chef Michael Cimarusti 's West Hollywood restaurant , executive chef Sam Baxter has created a menu of incredibly straightforward, classic American seafood dishes . Read more

Sara

Great people-watching and celeb-sighting spot, at least while it's still shiny and new. Chef 's choice oysters , New England boiled dinner , a glass of red Zinfandel , and you'll be in seafood heaven.

Ricky Sherrill

First go for brunch on the weekends for one of the best in LA. They have nice lobster rolls & other sandwiches . Check the specials before you order.

John Cohen

First coarse Oysters , served chilled and delicious. Second Course. Lobster Roll Hot with Fry's Third Dish. Seafood Pot mixture of Steamers. Mussels , Lobster , Potatoes . Desert : Indian Pudding .

Los Angeles

The lobster roll at Connie & Teds, Michael Cimarusti’s recently-opened haute fish shack, is worth every calorie. Sweet misshapen belly-on clams , fried in a light cornflour batter, are another must.

Shana Wall

New England clam chowder & Grilled calamari appetizer Amazing, don't recommend Boiled Dinner . Better in concept than execution. MUST order Hot Buttered Rolls👍 (lobster roll at next table looked yum!)

Claire Gendel

Everything is absolutely amazing! You can't go wrong. Seriously. If you're going to get the lobster roll , I recommend getting the hot vs cold.

Roxanne Saei

Scallop to start with the Hot Butter Rolls to dip and Ed's Portuguese Stew for your main dish...or share because everything is pretty damn good here.

Kelsie Pelletier

Can't go wrong with the raw bar - especially the live uni (coming from someone who's not even into uni). Splurge on the steak and lobster . Worth it, promise.

Lauren-Michelle Kraft

The butter rolls - awesome, the clams & mussels in the white wine sauce - awesome, the people you'll meet sitting at the bar - extra awesome! But...it is a tad pricey

John Cassillo

Great location with fantastic fish and a great beer list too. Everything is cooked perfectly. Would definitely go back.

Pete Levin

I eat a LOT of seafood and this is by far my favorite seafood restaurant in LA. Great place. Whole belly clam roll was delicious.

Erik J.

My favorite oysters so far are: Kusshi, Kiwi Cup, Naked Cowboy and the Little Island . The clam chowder is not as thick as you may be use to, but more tasty.

Sam Plotkin

Beauty of this place: you cannot go wrong. Oysters , Lobster Roll , Fish & Chips , Peach Pie ...one better than the next. 'Blue Fish ' was a bit fishy - my only half-critique of the bunch.

Daniel L.

I've been twice in the same week (because it's that good). Order Ed's Portugese Stew . There's also a burger topped with Hook's four-year-aged cheddar for the land lover in your group.

Robert Gamboa

Service was great. Atmosphere was wonderful. The food was just delicious delicious delicious! Really yummy!

Brian Menendez

Simply the BEST Lobster Roll I've had in LA, which Chef Michael Cimarusti 's restaurant concept is based off his maternal grandparents and the love they shared for each other and the sea. #LobsterRoll

Andrea

Delicious lobster roll , great happy hour . Love the ambiance feels like you are on the beach in the middle of WeHo.

Tulani

Oyster and seafood players are super fresh. Nice selection of cocktails , craft beers and wines . Tough reservation and very popular!

Jessica Lippke

This place was awesome. Great food, great atmosphere, and great place for celebrity sightings. Highly recommend it! The NE clam chowder was delish!

Dan Durkin

I missed happy hour , so I feel like I overpaid. Great service, good food. Delicious oysters , some of the best I ever had.

Maina Khoja

I tried their mussels with Marinara sauce dam fresh, I recommend going with company to share and try

Chris Ledermuller

Fantastic beer selection . Also, Rhode Island clear clam chowder has a pleasant, briny seawater taste, like a less intense oyster .

Karen Eyres

Loved it. Had the steamers and will have them again. C&T's has an open kitchen , so we could see Michael Cimarusti in there, checking on things. Pretty cool.

Edward Hodge

Start with the grilled calamari and go for the crusted catch OR the killer seafood broil!

Alex Straus

The tequila Ocho is amazing here. Also! They have ancho reyes! Spicy margaritas and seafood . All. Day.

Scott Archambault

Naked Cowboy oysters are delicious and give Water Grill a run for their money. Sit outside on the patio - its a nicely designed space.

Maina Khoja

Hot lobster roll is Devine, Mac and cheese with crispy topping so yum

Jenna M

The lobster by the pound is the best I've ever had!

Tasting Table

Follow the chef 's choice, an omakase of a dozen ($34) or half-dozen ($17) of oysters served with tarragon-inflected mignonette and horseradish . Read more

Elliot DeRemer

Amazing seafood and great ambiance. Pretty solid beer list too makes this place my new fav place in LA

Christina Brehm

Best calamari I've ever had in my life-- get it grilled! Laid-back vibe with a friendly staff . Worth the wait!

Thomas Colton

Think half Joe's Crab Shack and half Santa Monica Seafood . And a lot of beers . Very solid seafood .

Abu Aya KD

Seafood central... get a lobster roll with butter and blondie for dessert

Ayanna J

The lobster rolls are amazing. They went a little heavy on the salt for the fries . All in all, it was good.

Odile Roujol

Oysters 🦪 and beer . Outdoor sitting
