L & E Oyster Bar

Who says a good oyster bar needs to be seawater-adjacent? Silver Lake's L & E Oyster Bar brings em' in fresh from both coasts (check whether yours is East or Westsiiiide on the classic snack-bar-style signs). $28 gets you the chef's best dozen bivalves and a few bucks more brings a glass from their healthy curated wine selection or one of the four choice beers. The place has a comfy seaside bistro vibe (courtesy of Bar Covell's Dustin Lancaster and Matt Kaner) that almost makes you forget the ocean is a sea of tailpipes away.
