L&E : an eastside oyster bar.

the owners of bar covell opened up an oyster bar in silverlake! how exciting is that. i couldn't wait to try it.






kegs with pillows as waiting seats! love that. the menu had oysters raw, grilled, and fried. under steamed are a couple seafood cocktails, the soup was a clam chowder, and there were a few simple salads as well. the daily offering of oysters had four west coast and three east coast. they were out of the malispina, but we ordered two of each of the rest.



we also had an order of the oysters rockefeller and the dungeness crab cocktail; and split an oyster po'boy. everything was really great, a little bit pricey for the size of portions, but that's silverlake and i'm more than willing to pay for the convenience of having an oyster bar around the corner. james really liked the miagi and i the sunset, so we ordered another half dozen.




we then walked across the street to lamill for dessert. we had the emmy's peanut butter cup (madagascar peanut butter vanilla cream, bananas, honey, valrhona dark chocolate) and a hong kong milk tea for me and a macchiato for james. what a perfect meal.
