About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Charming
Great for outdoor dining

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.

The food was excellent! We have been coming here for years--primarily for the lobster rolls. So fresh and delicious. There oysters and grilled fish are always good as well! So sorry to see another restaurant in Santa Monica closing!! Such a shame.

So sad that it’s closing. Everything we ordered was delicious. Cozy atmosphere. Our server, Reid was wonderful. He allowed my daughter to make a song request and was super kind.

It’s a travesty that this restaurant is closing like so many others in Santa Monica. A true gem. Will miss this lovely spot.

We have loved you since our first dinner many years ago when we were visiting LA. BPO immediately became our favorite spot here. Now we live here and will have the fondest memories of the food, drinks and watching the sunset over the Pacific. So sorry to see you go 😢!! Best of luck to you and your staff.
