Owner
We take great pride in our seafood selection as well as the quality and freshness of our dishes. Our restaurant has LA's largest oyster bar, also featuring the Oyster and Wine Sampler. Come and enjoy our delicious meals in the comfort of the casual but elegant South Pacific decor or watch the sunset over Santa Monica Bay from our patio. We serve lunch daily until 4pm as well as host "Oyster Hour" from 4pm-6:30pm Monday through Friday, and 3pm-5pm on the weekends.

Not a Budget Date as Citysearch declares!

Hey Citysearch, why don't you do a better job at separating Church and State and come up w/ some original and worthy reviews of your own lists rather than blatantly patronize your sponsors.
Yelp it is!
