But these flaws are a small price to pay for a neighborhood restaurant that does simple luxury incredibly well. The salmon is nice, the lobster spaetzle fun. But it's the branzino, fresh salads and oysters I'll return for.

The oyster selection continues to offer surprises — one night, teeny, nutty metallic Olympias show up; another, something special and weird from Massachusetts. A dozen of those on a plate, frigid and gleaming, a glass of rosé, and the laid-back nightlife of Silver Lake swirling around you, it's hard not to feel soothed and renewed, and immensely grateful for a neighborhood restaurant done right.

I'm really impressed with things overall. It really frustrates me when people just don't know how to get their acts together when it comes to food. Enough with the commercialism! Lets bring culture to the way we present our food! SO yeah! Great job guys! Power to you!

I've enjoyed molluscs there on several occasions. Very fresh, great food, friendly and efficient staff. Now if they would only add Oyster Stew to their menu!!!!
