Stylish seafood spot with oysters, lobster rolls & natural wines
"Transportive when it hits, the Sicilian crudo here — scallop, salmon, and tuna dressed with olive oil, fresh lemon, red onion, and capers — can beam you from the parking hell that frames the Scientology center to the shores of Taormina." - Sheila Yasmin Marikar
"One of Last Word Hospitality’s hits, this seafood gem is noted as a standout part of the group’s successful run of openings." - ByKate Kassin
"This casual spot in East Hollywood is a must-try for any serious oyster lover. Centered around one long wooden bar, the quaint 26-seat restaurant—which opened in 2019—offers fresh oysters, as well as shucked clams, lobster rolls, chowder, and a full raw bar. Come for the no-frills menu, which prides itself on infusing East Coast seafood with West Coast flavors, but stay for the top-tier wine list. Oh, and a side of fries to go with that perfect oyster platter? Mandatory. —Christian Allaire, senior fashion and style writer"
"The minute Found Oyster opened up on Fountain Ave. in late 2019, it was clear that this place would stick around. They’re less of an oyster bar (they’ve only got two kinds of oysters, albeit great ones), and more of an all-purpose clam shack/wine bar, but that’s fine with us. Sit at the bar, and let the staff guide you. They’re friendly in a way that makes you feel like you’re a cousin of theirs, and they’ll gladly tell you everything about what they’re shucking that day. This will involve Skaket Beach oysters from the GM’s family farm on Cape Cod, littlenecks from Maine, and peel-and-eat blue prawns. Add in a lobster roll, a steak, or—if they have it—some steamers frites, for a truly incredible seafood feast." - brant cox, cathy park
"This Los Feliz seafood shop has moved operations from their tight, disco ball-lit space and expanded into the patio on the street, where you’ll have room to enjoy their excellent oysters and bask in the glow of the neighboring Scientology building. Many come from their enigmatic general manager’s family farm in Maine, and taste so clean, you’d think the kitchen installed a pipeline to the ocean. Order twice as many as you think you’ll want." - sylvio martins, nikko duren
