Review & FAQ:

The Walrus and the Carpenter is the result of three friends set on building a cozy neighborhood oyster bar with lively fun and fantastic dining. Family and friends came together to create a handcrafted establishment featuring custom-built cabinetry and furniture. The centerpiece of the decor is a coral-like metal chandelier found in a Los Angeles antique yard. A daily menu changes with the seasons of the seafood and fish offering a selection of oysters, garden-fresh salads, shellfish entrees, and signature dishes like duck liver mousse with apricot jam, pickled maitake mushrooms, and toast. The restaurant’s bar serves a long list of wines, classic cocktails, local draft beers, cider, and house-made sodas.
