L&E Oyster Bar offers a cozy, date-night vibe with fresh oysters, clam chowder, and innovative cocktails, making it a perfect spot for laid-back dining.
"L&E is a more than acceptable choice for pretty much any kind of semi-casual dinner. The modern spot has great oysters, along with a lot of other solid, shareable plates. You can eat downstairs in the full restaurant, or, for a drinks-and-a-light-bite situation, head upstairs to their more lounge-y bar area." - amy clark, brett keating
"A Silver Lake restaurant where Dom Crisp worked for many years." - Dom Crisp
"A regular spot for Lesley Suter, known for its oysters." - Eater Staff
"Silver Lake’s great oyster spot L&E is open for patio dining on their quiet corner of Silver Lake Blvd. They have an abbreviated menu that includes oyster po’boys and crab cakes sandwiches, plus fantastic mussels and fries that are great to have on the table all night for occasional dunking, along with their usual selection of excellent cocktails and wine. If you’re looking for a casual date spot on the Eastside, this is a great option. Open Wednesday through Sunday from 4-9pm, and they aren’t currently accepting reservations." - brant cox
"The shrimp cocktail at L&E Oyster Bar is massive, meaty, and herby. Each prawn takes four to five bites to consume and weighs as much as an AirPod case. Rather than being cooked in stock, each crustacean is gently poached in olive and herbs and then chilled, which gives them a classy, regal sheen. Order them with a glass of champagne on the upstairs balcony overlooking Silver Lake while reading the book you brought with you. Maybe something by Sally Rooney? " - brant cox, arden shore
