Online Menu Planner - Categories & Options
This menu planner will help you select items and services for your event. Items in this menu planner are dependent on the number of guests you expect and if you are providing other food. Some items might need to be scaled up or down. We can also help you fine tune your order (use the contact information in the footer to make an appointment). This planner will help us understand what you are thinking.
The Foundation - The Oysters!
Use the oyster estimator button or contact us for help with estimating how many oysters you might need based on the number of guests and other details about your event. Once you have an estimate for the number of oysters you need, use various quantities of either the whole sale cost (only available to LOC members) or non-member retail price to set your total. In most cases, it is always best to over estimate as unused oysters can be returned to the water. You will not be charged for these (less a $25 restocking fee). This section also includes oysters selections that include a shucking service fee. Select these options if you are interested in LOC staff to either pre-shuck your oysters or for shucking live at your event.
