They were out of a few menu items and the fryer was broken. Everything available was delicious but it was really loud.

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.

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.

Halibut entree was very good. Dessert was terrible! The maple cheesecake was dry and stale. You could tell it’s been sitting in the refrigerator for several days. A restaurant of your caliber should be embarrassed to serve such subpar quality. I thought to send it back and in hindsight should have.

Rancho Cucamonga

About the restaurant

Established in 2005, King’s Fish House is Rancho Cucamonga’s choice for seafood. Located in Victoria Gardens, King’s Fish House features a large selection of fresh oysters, seasonal catches, sushi and live shellfish, including lobster and crab, on a menu that changes daily.

We’ve been in restaurants a little while – three generations, to be precise. A long time ago, we embarked on a road trip in search of the ultimate seafood experience. We traveled down highways and byways, pulled up a seat, put on bibs and soaked up the seafood experience: the no-name dishes with unforgettable flavor, the fresh-caught oysters and clams piled high, the hand-lettered specials on ancient chalkboards and the savory simmer of every combination of spices imaginable.

Welcome to the House that Seafood Built.

Come gather with us, celebrate, relax and enjoy a seafood dining experience of high quality, comfort, service and value.
