Eventide Oyster Co. - Portland

We had a day trip planned to Portland and I knew Eventide had to be a stop after seeing the glowing reviews on Yelp. I was not disappointed. We arrived upon...

The food is pricey but the taste is not worth it for what I am paying . Oyster is good Lobster Rolls ok Clam chowder below average. Croquette below...

So, dinner at Eventide will likely satisfy your gustatory senses. It may not fill you up, and plates are small and not cheap. They are creative and...

Eventide takes their food and business seriously. Everything we had was simply delicious! The oysters were so fresh and flavorful, we almost ordered a second dozen. We had a front row seat to all the shucking! It was awesome. The fried chicken sandwich was our favorite order of the evening. Highly recommend! They are usually slammed?year round, so truly plan on a 2+ hour wait. Go early, put your name in and get a drink or apps somewhere. There is no parking, so streetparking is your best bet! The service is quick and accommodating. Enjoy!!

When we decided to make a stop in Portland during our most recent trip, Eventide was at the very top of my list for places to try. A few things to know before you go- they don?t take reservations and they are ALWAYS busy. Be prepared to wait. But just know, the wait will be well worth it. We went at about 3:30 on a Sunday, the hostess quoted us an hour to an hour and a half wait, we ended up getting a text about 45 minutes later that our seating was ready. We were sat atthe window bar. We ordered a dozen oysters, the lobster roll, chicken bun and the stuffed clams. All were seriously so amazing. The sandwiches were SUPER small but the lobster roll may have been the best I?ve had. And I?ll be dreaming aboutthat chicken bun until I can have it again. Great food, friendly and quick service. Small space that?s guaranteed to always have a waitlist. But do yourself a favor and wait. You will be glad you did!!
