g oconnorJune 19, 2015Well, 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!
- g oconnorOctober 31, 2015The 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.
Sabina B.December 27, 2013Sit 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.
Liberty TJune 24, 2015Lobster 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.Upvoted Feb 21
Alex StillOctober 5, 2018Great 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!
Rachel KMarch 15, 2015Limited vegetarian options: grilled artichoke, simple salads, a do it yourself rice bowl of coconut brown rice + Brussel sprouts + cocktail sauce.
Kevin RusnakJanuary 31, 2013Everything 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!
KCRWAugust 7, 2012The breezy cousin of the Montana restaurant you know and love, BPO is sure to bring you joy, especially if you flash your Fringe Benefits card for a discount! The lobster roll .... delicious!
Paige CMarch 25, 2017Ask the staff for their oyster recommendations. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu!
Andrew LaymanMarch 25, 2018Oysters are amazing. Lots of options. Good view of the water. Rosé was great. Good place to grab lunch or a quick oyster sesh.
Armine ShamiryanFebruary 15, 2019Such a cute place! Good wines and the most amazing skillet roasted mussels! I am still thinking about the mussels! Great burger!
Jaimie LeeOctober 18, 2015Never knew that fish taco can be this much good. Get their lobster roll(in maine style) also!
- g oconnorOctober 31, 2015Sunset outside in late October! And a fantastic assortment of Oysters - and, AUTHENTIC NEW ENGLAND fried clams!
Jessica TrevinoMay 31, 2014Oysters are amazing! Even better with Villa Sandi Prosecco. Staff extremely friendly, great place with good atmosphere and extremely dog friendly.- g oconnorJune 19, 2015A fine wine selection. We had a Chateau Montelena Chardonnay (2012) with dinner. An outstanding combination!
Jennifer MaasDecember 24, 2015Garlic bread, mac and cheese, and the seasonal lobster pot pie were all amazing.
Heidi QJanuary 6, 2013Great 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.
M WolpertJanuary 23, 2013I am from the east coast and have never had Kumial Ousters from Mexico .dabbed with the fresh shaved Horseradish and Mingonette they were wonderful !
Bridget KarpFebruary 21Happy Hour rocks here! M-T 2-6. Try the oysters 🦪 calamari 🦑 artichoke and fries 🍟 great variety of cocktails! 🍹

Bon Appetit MagazineMarch 30, 2011The LA area has arguably the most diverse food scene in the country. Exemplary lobster roll - served on top a split brioche roll with a side of house-made sweet potato chips. Read more
Caroline NamAugust 24, 2012Amazing 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.
Cyndie CarlsonApril 16, 2014Great oysters, curry mussels & try the wine the girls that work there like! Super friendly staff!!!
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!
Puno PunoJanuary 2, 2013Tried bald point (B - small, not as sweet), Kumamoto (A - silky, medium size), and skookum (B - good texture with more sea flavor).
Andrew GaldiAugust 7, 2014Great after a day at the beach! Yummy oysters. The lobster roll looked amazing
Didier DorgaJanuary 18, 2015The lobster roll was a hit. Not drowned in mayo . Fish tacos are good. Get the key lime pie.
Jennifer GallardoMay 14, 2016The Oysters Rockefeller are wonderful. Portions are quite large so easy to share.
Jessica ScottJanuary 16, 2014The lobster mac and cheese is amazing! Great for sharing because it's a lot!
Joanne JohnsonSeptember 11, 2018What’s not to love about Oysters Rockefeller for a quick lunch, Devine indulgence 😋
Suzie LinvilleJune 17, 2014Delicious food but a tad expensive. Also small space and at times we felt rushed to make decisions.
- Lauren CraigJuly 8, 2012Really cute! Lobster rolls, Mac n cheese, an the key lime pie are must haves!!
woody thompsonSeptember 13, 2019Steamers from The Cape, oysters from Seattle, Pilsners from Portland. Get it done!
Lorraine SDecember 1, 2010Best fish house ever! Make sure u get the fresh selection of oysters & the homemade keylime pie is to die for
