Found Oyster is nestled in the heart of East Hollywood. Inspired by the blue-collar oyster bars of New England, Found Oyster intersects classic east coast seafood shacks with west coast flavors. Seafood-focused fare, including crudos, lobster rolls, and chowder from Chef Ari Kolender, complemented by a full raw bar with oysters from Partner Joe Laraja’s family oyster farm in Orleans, Cape Cod.
“This was a birthday visit and I will more than likely return. The oysters were super fresh. The calamari was good but I’ve had better and there could’ve been more for the cost. The fries were good but the cod sammy was BUSSIN’! It was crispy, hot and flavorful. We sat outside which was cool place to enjoy the sun and people watch.”
“We arrived around 5:50 pm without a reservation and the place was already busy, which is usually a good sign. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The host was very friendly and told us the wait would be about 20 minutes. He even offered us a drink while we waited, which was a nice gesture. After a little over an hour we finally got seated at the bar instead of outside, but by that point we were definitely overdue for dinner. Tip: make a reservation ahead of time if you plan to visit, especially during busy hours. Now for the good part. The food was excellent. We ordered the Overboard platter, Sicilian crudo, scallop tostada, and the lobster bisque roll, along with some wine. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and very well prepared. Definitely high quality seafood. The staff overall was friendly and the vibe of the place is great. Recommendation: Yes. Great food and a cool spot. Just make sure to reserve ahead of time.”
“Had trout dip, crudo, oysters, and lobster rolls. Oysters and lobster rolls were my favorite. Ambience and service were good. Took one star out because of the price. Some dishes were very small compared to the price and quality. Overall I enjoyed my meal but still felt overpriced on some dishes.”
“You will need a reservation! A Reservation made the experience much smoother. Food is good but portions are light. It is a great spot for lunch. Fries. Fries were the best fries from a seafood restaurant. Scallop tostada was not worth it. Endive cesar was delicious. Cod burger good. Clam and mussels with frites was 10/10”
“We bellied up of course. A front row seat to expert shucking and being taken care of, this is always the feeling I’m after. Started with half a dozen Vinlands,they were elite. Clam Chowder also elite and well appointed with Westminster Bakers Co crackers which are the best oyster cracker, facts. Fries were solid. Fried Cod sandwich was fine but flavors and texture of the stack left something to be desired. Will defs go back it’s a delight and they got that good ice.”
