Neighbourhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Charming

Blue Plate Oysterette was inspired by East Hampton summer lobster bakes and mouthwatering lunches at Montauk’s favorite roadside eateries. With influences like Pearl Oyster Bar and Mary’s Fish Camp in New York, Oysterette serves lunch and dinner seven days a week with a menu straight out of the seafood shacks you find on the East Coast. Chunky, overflowing lobster rolls, buckets of steamed clams in broth so flavorful that bread demands to be dunked, clam chowder, mussels in broth, ceviche, and raw shellfish so fresh you can smell the ocean. Filling the void in the Westside restaurant scene for a casual, beachy, seafood restaurant and buzzing neighborhood vibe appealing to both surfers and studio heads.

Food is excellent as always, I really like this place - the service is somehow half hearted, had the feeling of not being taken care of or being welcome. Cocktails are definitely too expensive for the quality and presentation

Very disappointed in the food portions and quality. We paid $75 for Market Price lobster that had .25 lb of meat. The avocado salad was gross and the lettuce was old. Regret booking this for my boyfriend’s birthday.

The perfect spot to slurp oysters with a good friend; and the lobster rolls are done, just right.

Very disappointed with the hot buttered lobster roll. Overcooked, dry and small portion. Only the butter tasted good. Unacceptable for a native Rhode Islander or anybody.
