Eventide Oyster Company

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 street parking is your best bet! The service is quick and accommodating. Enjoy!!

Dinner, drinks and service were phenomenal!!! Having Celiac's is not a problem, they have gluten free lobster rolls and were well versed in suggesting alternatives for their dishes!! Made things so easy!!! Would definitely recommend even if you're in Portland, ME for one night - go here! We also met Eventide's phenomenal photographer during a little golden hour shoot! A meta moment of a photographer capturing a photographer, capturing the delicious entrees.

Family lunch in the outdoor heated area was the best meal we had in Portland. We of course started with oysters and selected a half dozen of Maine oysters with delicious sauces. We enjoyed two delicious soups and personally, the Maine Lobster Stew was the single best dish that I had in Portland due to the awesome coconut and curry flavor coupled with lobster chunks. The scallop crudo also blew me away with a mix of turmeric puffs and mint oil. Finally, the fish sandwich was by far the best I've eaten. Overall, Eventide Oyster somehow beat my loft expectations and, in my view, is the best must eat at restaurant in Portland, Maine.

Husband and I were restaurant hopping in Portland and this was our first stop. We sat at the bar, got a couple of drinks, half a dozen of oysters, and the most delicious fried oyster roll. The pickled veggies on the oyster roll was fantastic and the bread was super soft and just perfect. Wish we had room for more food, but we had other places to explore. 11/10 highly recommend.

We had such an amazing time here!! It was our first time and we knew we had tk try and we were right to come! The food was so amazing and so fresh! The staff were super cool and friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful. As soon as you walk in you see the oyster bar and it's just so cool to see. Its best to come earlier as the line will get long fast!

We had the best dishes here and we went back the next morning to get them again. The best time to go is right when they open. They have very few indoor tables, but plenty counter, bar, and outdoor space. My husband and I still talk about the lobster roll and Maine lobster stew. Service was friendly and quick. Drinks were on point and everything we got was delicious! This will be a staple whenever we’re in town.

Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Value - 3/5 Food - 4/5 Excellent oysters and a diverse drink menu. Their lobster roll and oyster bun were fantastic and the bread was delightfully squishy/doughy, i only wish they were bigger! The tuna crudo was much, much too salty, and didn’t have that classic tuna crudo acidity. Otherwise, a beautiful spot and very helpful staff
