"Long Beach’s most exciting (and only) oyster bar has a little something for everyone. From a platter of sweet and briny mollusks on ice and a fried oyster caesar to a mountain of fries covered in seafood chowder, Liv’s in Belmont Shore isn’t afraid to let shellfish be the stars. Its sidewalk patio has so many string lights, you’ll feel like you’re eating under a theater marquee. But if you’d rather sit inside, Liv’s long marble bar is the perfect backdrop for a hot date. Stop by on Monday nights to take advantage of Liv’s half-off oyster deal." - Nikko Duren
