One of the East Side's most beloved restaurants, L&E Oyster showcases oysters from around the US.

The Silver Lake restaurant showcases the oysterman and the fisherman, the rancher and the farmer, the brewmaster and the winemaker, and of course, the magnificent oyster.

There’s a beautiful presentation of beet cured salmon with buttery toasts and crème fraiche served on a wood plank. And you can get some fine clam chowder made with Nueske’s bacon. But the oysters are a must. A fun route to go is the daily dozen, an assortment of bivalves from the Atlantic and Pacific, served on ice with all the necessary accoutrements. Wash them down with a tall glass of pale ale from El Segundo Brewery or a glass of prosecco.

Go early for the happy hour in the upstairs bar where specials are served from 5-7pm or come late for a nightcap and a snack. The menu upstairs is limited, but the balcony is still a popular spot to park.
