"There’s nothing that screams “I’m a young, fun, cosmopolitan person living in a major city” than tossing back oysters on the half shell on a Santa Monica patio. And the place to do it in West LA is Crudo e Nudo. The former pop-up has found a permanent home on Main St., where you’ll be treated to thoughtful wine selections and entirely sustainable seafood like daily crudos served with herbs and house-made sauces, a full raw bar, and tuna tartare paired with seeded loaves from Gjusta." - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore, cathy park

"At this seafood market/restaurant in Santa Monica, you’ll eat amazing oysters served with woven kelp strands, purple wildflowers, and a pink peppercorn limoncello mignonette that’s bright and floral. It’s fun, casual, and entirely cool—the kind of experience we usually just hope to manifest, rather than actually put on the calendar." - sylvio martins, nikko duren
