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.

I enjoyed my entire recklessness here, from the environment to the food. I appreciated the lack of ambient music so I could have a conversation without yelling. Very nice Italian style decorations, clean restroom. The server was attentive and kind.

I just love this restaurant. I love the vibe, low key and down home, and the food is fantastic. The cucumber salad and the Caesar salad make me so happy, perfect on a warm day like this was, and I always find the pizza delicious (squash blossoms for me) plus everyone who works there seems both hilarious and sweet. Good little wine list too. Always have a nice time, and always bring new friends there, whether I’m in the hood or as a casual destination.
