L & E is 3 minutes from where I live, so this is a local place for me. I have been about 20 times. The food is always exceptional! Whilst I love a laidback casual style; The last two times there we have been served by one of the bartenders on a Tuesday night. He just doesn’t seem to care about service. Spends most of his time socializing with coworkers and or friends directly in front of you…..while you have an empty glass, dirty plates or want more food. I am a 30% tipper for great service. I don’t need someone to stay at the table all night and chat with me, I have my friends I’m dining with for that! But please do follow up and sell more items. You are losing money for yourself and the restaurant. I had to flag down other servers to get refills on wine and water. If it’s busy I totally get it and no problem, but when the server is leaning against the wall and chatting with friends it’s a little annoying at these prices and they add a living $ % to the check which I support 100% but it feels more like charity when you’re not looked after. That said! Dinner was delicious. We started with oysters that were out of this world, then crab cake and shrimp cocktail. Ended with a Louie salad with crab meat that was mouthwatering good. Had a great Albariño wine and martinis would have drank more! Please do try L & E it’s worth it! just get there early if possible and sit outside with a server. There is also a great little bar upstairs if you want a drink before dinner or just a chill night out

Went here to have oyster shooters my first time. It was really good! Excellent service and great deserts. They have an upstairs for drinks too. The clam chowder was yummy

Tasty food. However you need to get there before 6pm for dinner during weekends if you don’t want to wait at the bar section on the 2nd floor because they don’t take reservations. You can probably eat right away at the bar on the ground level, which I did. But the bar stools were very uncomfortable. I wish they had chairs with back support for the bar as well.

I love the staff there. They were super nice to the kid, and were truly helpful. They got their own style of food there I’m telling you, really special and definitely amazing! The cornbread is absolutely worth the wait, don’t miss that! Just a bit disappointed of the tiny oyster tho Call it a fusion would be better than an oyster bar We wanted to sit outside but it was too long of the queue. Still got an awesome vibe of the night sitting inside. Overall it’s a relaxing and romantic place, I’d love to come back again.

This place was tasty! I really enjoyed it. I just wish the lobster Mac was slightly bigger portion. It looks bigger than it is because it’s spread out. Fabulous and delicious dinner. The drinks were really good too. There’s a cute bar upstairs and more of a restaurant vibe downstairs. Good place to grab a drink with a friend or date.

Really fun staff. No reservations but during week not a big line. Oysters! Amazing bartenders making great cocktails. And the other guests were all very friendly chill humans <3 had mushrooms, scallops, cauliflower, and black cod. All very very good.

This place does not disappoint. Went back for an early dinner and the food is as fresh and well prepared as ever. We loved the crispy branzino, jerked trout, and lobster thermidor mac and cheese. The oysters were sweet, the octopus special and the cornbread were savory delicious. I was pleasantly surprised with the desserts. The triple berry tart is reminiscent of a cobbler, the raspberry tart was made with a good custard and fresh fruit.

Had a craving for good shucked oysters and forever wanted to try this local Silver Lake gem. As crazy busy as this place was even for a Sunday night the staff was very attentive and the place was pumping good feel vibes. We had a dozen delicious Kumiai oysters, a bowl of clam chowder (Gloucester, MA worthy), shrimp po’boy and lobster roll (cold). Everything was flavorful and absolutely yummy. Looking forward to going back for more oysters and trying the rest of the menu. Highly recommended.

Went with a couple of friends after one of them recommended it. The service is good. The food is amazing. The fish and chips is some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Highly recommended place.

Great ambiance! I recommend getting there early. They opened at 5, we arrived at 5:09, and there was an hour wait. We waited upstairs at the bar. Service was friendly and quick. Our drinks were tasty but a little weak. I had 3 drinks with no buzz. I wanted to try the lobster roll, but they were sold out by the time I ordered. I tried the shrimp poboy instead, and it was just okay. I wouldn’t order it again. They also had great music. Overall, I would try this place again. I enjoyed the vibe, and I still want to try the lobster roll. Btw, our server was great. He was attentive and offered us dessert on the house to make up for the lobster roll being sold out.
