Everyone in Portland knows Eventide is a must for anyone visiting town. If you're a fan of oysters there's simply no equal and even if you're not, everything else I've ever tried on their menu has been way above par (pecan pie was the best I've ever had). Dishes are plated beautifully and the atmosphere has a uniquely "Portland" vibe.
The problem with Eventide is that EVERYONE wants to go there, so there will always be a wait. Sure, the food is great, but this place has been so hyped it's slowly become a place I avoid altogether. There is other really great food in Portland I won't have to wait 2 hours+ for...

Stopped in here after reading a google review. Very pleased we did. There was a 1hr wait at 7pm but we filled the time in quickly with a drink or 2. We were asked if we would be ok with a communal table which we were. We ordered the Lobster Roll, New England Seafood Chowder and a Chicken Sandwich. The service was excellent and fast. This food was was possibly the best seafood and tastiest burger we have had. Couldn't fault a thing. Highly recommended.

Best. Place. Ever. It just has a great feel. Went 3 years ago and then this year. I will admit the James Beard award has boosted their popularity quite a bit. by 5:30 or 6pm it is very possible to have very long lines.
I recommend you pop into Eventide first and then go visit the historic area while you wait. Absolutely lovely food, well prepared and served by friendly professionals. On the day i was there i watched a difficult diner send back a perfectly prepared lobster roll along with $40 more of perfectly prepared food because it was not what she expected. The server handled it politely like the pro that she is. I also love the selection of oysters here... though i do wish they would bring more down from Canada. While i appreciate their farm-to-table leanings, since Canadian shell fish are much harder to access in the south it would be great if i could access them when i head north.

This was a lovely way to experience the seafood of Portland. Like having a flight of beers, I ordered a half dozen local oysters-- each a different variety. I also had the special tomato salad with toasted sesame seeds, micro greens, and a creamy cheese. They have great beers on tap. Portions are small and a little pricey, it felt more like a tasting menu or tapas, so I'd recommend going for happy hour or appetizers rather than a full meal. I also really appreciated the aesthetic of the restaurant: from the sky blue walls to etchings of shellfish on the walls, it's airy, bright, and feels like the ocean in the summer. The owners also own Golden Paw next door!

We stopped here for lunch on our way out of Portland. The clam chowder was really good although it seemed like there was more salt pork than clam in it. I'm not complaining though, you can't find clam chowder like that in Vermont. The famous brown butter lobster roll was awesome. I really liked the steam bun it was served on and I thought the lobster portion was pretty generous. The blueberry pie they had for desert was really nice and packed full of fresh blueberries that weren't overly sweet like some pies can get. I really enjoyed sitting at the counter and watching them crack and prepare oysters. Our server was very friendly, helpful, and patient. I definitely recommend getting here early. We got in around 11 on a Friday and were seated immediately. Half an hour later there was a line out the door.
