Oysters were good everything else was below average. Long wait, unorganized system and food so so. Obviously a fad and not a long lived environment.
The lobster rolls are amazing! I had two soups but can’t remember which I liked the most. The soups came with a few homemade crackers. My mom had the oysters and loved them.
Stopped here for a mid afternoon pick me up. We had yellowtail crudo, fried oysters, and two drinks each. Everything was super fresh and tasty. I loved sitting at the bar watching the bartenders and oyster shuckers do their thing.With tax and tip, the bill was over $70. And I was still hungry. If I returned, I’d get one of the sandwiches (lobster roll, fried fish, fried chicken) for something heartier.
Arguably Portlands busiest restaurant, a line usually present at the 11am opening with a wait list ranging 15-60 minutes frequently stretching the next dozen hours, Eventide Oyster Co. is owned by the same team behind Hugos Restaurant and The Honey Paw, and although originally formed as a more casual spot or place to stop for cocktails and oysters before dinner next door there is no doubt the little-sister has grown up nicely, evidence of a role-reversal even playing out on Tuesday when diners entered Hugos in wait of a table next door.Fast paced and frenetic, several varieties of briny bivalves being shucked rapidly for diners inside, outdoors, at communal tables or the bar, Eventides menu additionally runs the gamut of upscale Seafood selections and a few land-based animals, the sliders and sandwiches particularly popular with a few staples and others that depend on whatever is being brought fresh to shore.Spending a 55-minute wait wandering the city, Coffee at Bard quickly passing the time, return to Eventide was requested by way of a cellphone paging system and ironically sat at a table with a duo from Ohio the conversation was almost instantaneous, the server taking orders from both parties with food quickly expedited from a kitchen that moves at an almost unparalleled speed.Much friendlier than the environment at The Honey Paw, a soundtrack spinning Dylan during much of the meal, course one featured three buns with fresh-picked Peekytoe composed as Crab Salad proving exceedingly light with strongly sweet notes while the Buttermilk Chicken and Oyster were each fried crisp to play elegantly off of their respective pickled fruits or vegetables and tangy sauce.Celebrated for novel takes on New England Classics, course two appropriately presented two of Eventide Oyster Co.s most famous items, and although the chowder likely will not convert traditionalists the medium-thin potage is undeniably delicious with plenty of seafood accentuated by caramelized onions, the infamous Lobster Roll an even more impressive three-bites that actually may be good enough to warrant both the wait and steep price-per-bite cost.Rarely one to forgo desserts, the menu at Eventide riffing playful in parts while Chocolate Whoopie Pies and a Slice of the day are also offered, suffice it to say that the suggestion to just get it for a $6 Ice Cream Sandwich should be heeded while the Coconut Choco-Taco takes frozen novelties to new heights with a clever shell of Buckwheat and Almonds studding the top. endoedibles.com
Went to eventide last night and it was absolutely amazing. I had the lobster roll (best I’ve had so far) and it was divine. Spot on. The chicken sandwich was a superb. My gf had the lobster chowder and that broth was redonk. We also had the mixed greens which was one of the best asian inspired salads I’ve had in an extremely long time. U gotta go
On the expensive side, yes, but it is totally worth it for the brown butter lobster roll alone. Intimate setting designed for smaller groups. We sat at one of the counters as a trio, and although cramped it was fun and allowed us to share all of the amazing dished we tried which included the aforementioned lobster roll, fried oysters, hake and crispy pork belly. All were amazingly good. I recommend this for a small group of diners (3-4 at most) who don’t mind paying a little more for the experience!
