"Of course the oysters here are spectacular (creamy and briny, like someone hand-delivered them from the ocean), but this neighborhood restaurant also serves a solid burger and a wedge salad that's heavy on bacon bits. There’s an upstairs space with a limited menu and Happy Hour specials, and they’ve also taken over the sidewalk out front where well-dressed couples always seem to be sipping white negronis and smiling." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park
"Rule: Oysters always work on date night. And when the move afterwards is to The Satellite up the street, L&E Oyster provides the ideal pregame. The two-story seafood joint is one of the few true neighborhood spots left in Silver Lake, and its low-key atmosphere and stellar wine and champagne list will get the night started right." - amy clark, brant cox
"A lot of places that call themselves “oyster bars” are anything but. Not L&E in Silver Lake. They have an actual oyster bar upstairs, where they’re shucking a wide variety of excellent oysters from both coasts. It’s one of the pricier spots on the guide, but their oysters taste of the highest quality (usually from Wellfleet, Hood Island, and more). They’ve also got great cocktails—our preference with oysters is a French 75—and offer a dozen or a half-dozen oysters at a discount during happy hour." - sylvio martins, nikko duren
"L&E Oyster Bar always comes to mind when wrapping up a tough week. Their oysters, libations and casual atmosphere will relax you priming you for the weekend. They have a sit-down restaurant downstairs and a bar counter with small bites upstairs. And yes, upstairs they do have happy hour specials on their daily dozen perfectly paired with glass of wine." - Presshaus LA
"Silver Lake’s great oyster spot L&E is open for patio dining on their quiet corner of Silver Lake Blvd. They have a new, abbreviated menu that includes oyster po’boys, crab cakes sandwiches, and mussels and fries, along with their usual selection of excellent cocktails and wine." - brett keating
