Welcome Members and Guests to the Oyster Festival!
Tonight we have some repeat favorites and a selection of new toppings for both raw and cooked oysters.
There are several self-serve stations for your enjoyment.
See the details below and ask if you have questions.
The Raw Bar*
We recommend taking in nature's perfection first by trying oysters naked. See our tasting tips to taste like a professional oyster somier.
Then explore today’s featured sauces and freshly made mignonettes. Combinations of these toppings can yield surprising results.
Raw Bar Toppings

Oyster Hush Puppies
This briny, salty oyster hush puppy are delicious on their own, but we suggest trying them with any of our featured dipping sauces.

And Into the Fire
Grilled and open flame options await.
Drago Style
This style of grilled oyster hails from the famous New Orleans restaurant in which the style gets its name. The recipe's ingredients, when combined with cooking over an open fire creates something truly unique.

Oyster Chili
Tonight we will serve this oyster chili by the bowl. Plant based chorizo and butter are the base for this oyster chili and vegan delight. Lemon zest and fresh cilantro leaf garnish and finish this satisfying combination.

Oysters in a blanket
Everyone knows "pigs in a blanket". Exchange oysters for pigs and bacon for bread and you get the idea. Try pairing these with any one of LOC's signature dipping sauces.

Old Fashion
All the fixings are available to self-craft your own cocktail.
The typical combination is sugar, bitters, your choice of bourbon or whiskey and a twist of citrus peel. Enjoy!

Ponzu Shooter
See us at the raw bar where we will pair a small raw oyster, 1 oz of ponzu and a few green onions - served from a shot glass or chirirenge spoon. While this is called a shooter - be sure to give the mix a few chews and let the flavors unfold.
