La Moule

Mostly an after hours bistro menu. Dim lighting and very good service. Oysters varied in size, but tasted great. 9.2 stars for the oysters. nice dry house white wine. Plate of shoestring fries was good portion for two people. Overall I want to come back and try everything. The little I had makes me desire to try more. Going back soon.

Last night, my partner and I decided to try La Moule restaurant that everyone has been raving about, and we were not disappointed! The food was absolutely incredible, and we couldn't stop raving about it. To start, we ordered a dozen oysters, which were served fresh and delicious. They were perfectly shucked and tasted like they had just been plucked from the ocean. For our main courses, my partner ordered the bone marrow, which was the best we've ever tasted. It was so rich and flavorful that we wished we had ordered more. I, on the other hand, decided to try the burger, and it was the best decision I made that night. The meat was cooked perfectly and topped with delicious, melted cheese. The service was also excellent, and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list. They helped us choose a bottle of wine that perfectly complemented our meal. Overall, we had an amazing experience and we can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious dishes. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, we highly recommend this restaurant.

We have been coming here for years and always loved it, but last nights meal was one of the best meals I’ve had at any restaurant in years. The cocktail menu, Frites, pâté, asparagus, butter lettuce salad, moules, monkfish, all produced delight. The delicious vegetarian gnocchi was not just an afterthought menu item either (you know, make something with mushrooms and call it done). It was the perfect place to show off Portland on my family’s last night in town. The outside seating is covered and heated. A little touch of France from beginning to end.

Delicious, unpretentious air, and great bar. What isn't to enjoy? Definitely recommend for dates, dinner with friends, or special treats - although truthfully, I'd recommend it for anytime after the experience tonight. Special appreciation for the bar who did a fabulous mock cocktail so one of us didn't feel left out.
