Phenomenal food that leaves you wanting more. The oysters were delicious and fresh, everything you could want. Figs and apples were a light, refreshing snack with a hint of spice. Everything was delicately prepared to perfection and even the wine accompanied everything so beautifully. Prawns seasoned well and were a great size too. Every bite was delightful and worth the wait. I look forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu.
The food was excellent. Patio seating was great!! Will definitely be back soon with friends to share the experience! The menus is amazing!!!
A favorite neighborhood gem. The food is always great, the service outstanding and the oysters a hit. Could easily dine here once a week. Love sitting at the bar or dining on the patio. Love Livs.
The food was excellent. The salmon crudo was amazing. It's a small kitchen so be ready to have a slow paced meal. The wine list was a bit on the light side for the quality of the food.
Liv's has the best oysters EVER - and we have traveled extensively! Their staff is friendly and professional We LOVE Liv's. (Especially 1/2 off oysters on Mondays.)
It's a small restaurant but the service was great and the food was amazing! We had the oysters and bone marrow, fried calamari, and lobster roll and each were so delicious. I am so glad I found this place last minute on Yelp. I made reservations about 20 mins before we got there and I will definitely eat there again.
I can't say enough great things about the quality of seafood here. Everything I've tried tastes amazing. One of best seafood joints in LB.
The chill relaxed ambiance was great! And the food excellent! Excellent raw oysters with mignonette. Love the fried oyster ceasar salad and halibut sliders! The nectarine and house vanilla whip was so delicious that I wanted to ask for the recipe! Oh and the clam chowder fries were a big hit at our table. And each plates presentation gorgeous. Seriously, I would love that dessert recipe so I can make a dairy free version that I can eat every day during the last few weeks of summer! Will definitely be going back to Liv's soon!
Amazing clam chowder!! Very fresh local and Canadian oysters. Great service.
What an amazing lunch of the freshest seafood we've had in California. The service was great, attentive and friendly. The food just delicious. Very festive spot of July 4 people watching and enjoying the day.

Wow! What an incredible meal we had at Liv's. The seafood was so fresh and delicious. We had the shrimp cocktail with a unique fried horseradish sauce, crispy and light calamari, a charred gem wedge salad and a fantastic lobster roll stuffed full of juicy, delicious lobster. Very nice and friendly staff that made the experience all the better. If we lived near by, we'd be back quite often. Thanks, Liv's!
The food is great however the ambience and atmosphere of the place is LOUD. There is no sound deadening, and the ceiling design both inside and outside lends itself to really poor acoustics. It's not a fun experience. You can't hear each other and the servers can't hear you. Also I'd generally call it overpriced for the experience
Unfortunately, the glowing positives of the food and service were nearly eclipsed by one major negative: the wait. Our appetizers (one of it was oysters) didn't arrive until 30mins later and main courses didn't arrive until 1hr. While we appreciated that good food takes time, this felt excessive and put a significant damper on the evening.
Came on a day when the chef was on vacation... not the best timing. I'm sure it's better when chef is cooking. Appetizer was AMAZING!!!!
I recently visited Liv’s for dinner with my family during a trip from NYC, and let me tell you, this place is a hidden gem! From the outside, it looks pretty unassuming and quaint, but the food packs a punch!
Everything we ordered was incredible! The lobster roll, pan-seared salmon, calamari, and oysters were the standouts. And if you’re getting dessert, don’t miss the orange olive oil cake.
The staff here was awesome, super friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. If you’re looking for a fun seafood night, definitely hit up Liv’s!
