Is there anything more romantic than slurping up some fresh oysters at Soulmate in West Hollywood? The chef puts a modern twist on his oysters with pineapple caviar and tamarind foam giving them a sweet finish and unexpected delight. We suggest pairing these beauties with a tangy white wine or a refreshing cocktail.
