The brown butter lobster roll is a must try here if you're
The brown butter lobster roll is a must try here if you're willing to splurge on it and still be left hungry. The portion size was on the smaller size but the taste is just amazing. I really wanted more but it was just so expensive. The lines ca

First off, the service here was amazing.
We had a large party and our waitress went above and beyond to make this a great experience. I got the brown butter lobster roll (bao) and shared the dozen oysters with my friend. The brown butter complimented the lobster with its nuttiness and depth

What can we say?? This place is fabulous worth it, we came here right at 10:50 am and were third in line shortly after the line was huge! The oysters are some of the best I've ever tried! Their special "un poco de humo" was the best me

Avoid Average Fare
Overall experience was middle at best. Service was slow, food took a long time and came out at different times for my wife and I. Lobster roll was not as impressive as others claimed. Being from South Florida, my wife has had bigger and better. Cole

Outstanding! Made me wish we had longer in town to come back for more! The crudo, lobster roll, and oysters were all incredible, and made for a memorable dinner. A top notch restaurant, but a very casual atmosphere. An ideal spot to end up at the end

We ordered a dozen oysters (variety pack), and the iced Tabasco & iced horseradish accoutrements - was really worth the price. The accoutrements might have been my favorite part. The brown butter lobster roll did not disappoint, we split it, bu

Had about a 40-minute wait, but service was friendly and efficient once we were seated. It's a nice place for an intimate meal. It's not too loud. We ordered oysters, the lobster roll, and clam chowder. The oysters were the highlight. The
Pricey but worth it
Got fantastic oysters with friends- lots of different locations of oysters to choose from. Eros was the fav of our group. Also got potato chips and slaw- all delish. We got lucky to get in without waiting at 4:30.
Not impressed! Lobster rolls are so small for the price.
The hamburger for $18 was literally max 3oz of meat and the chicken sandwich was the same. Don't recommend-the seating is so uncomfortable-a Metal small stool. The only plus was the very nice waitress.
The portions were very small, and my lobster roll was soggy
The portions were very small, and my lobster roll was soggy alongside the clam chowder was very fishy and had oysters mostly instead of clams. The only thing I enjoyed was the corn ribs they were very tasty!

This is one of the places everyone recommends for visitors
This is one of the places everyone recommends for visitors in Portland. It is very difficult to get any reservation. I tried for several days before my trip. I think they only accept reservation for parties of 6 or more. I passed by at around 1pm
The fish sandwich was absolutely incredible, even the GF
The fish sandwich was absolutely incredible, even the GF version. The lobster roll was amazing but small so I would want to get two. Oysters were good.
Best Lobster Roll of my Life!
Eventide was phenomenal! The waitstaff was super friendly, attentive, and provided A1 service. The food was so delicious! We had the tuna tartar, a dozen oysters, and the lobster - all were scrumptious. That brown butter lobster roll though....OUT OF

Excellent oysters, drinks, and the lobster stew was amazing! But to top it all off Jordan our server was top notch! Couldn't have asked for a better experience!!
Lobster roll was fantastic.
Overpriced for what you get, but that is part of it. It is a Maine staple. Service at the bar was okay. Very busy atmosphere. The hostess was working her tail off. Shoutout to whoever that girl is. Would recommend.
I love great oysters and theirs are yummy.
The service was great too. My family and I have been there many times and will definitely keep going.

Fresh oysters and clams.
It was fresh and good. Had the local beer to wash it down. Service was fast although they were pretty busy.
Absolutely worth the wait! We had an hour wait to be seated.
This place is a must-try. Our server was great and the food blew us away. We indulged in oysters, a fresh tomato salad, tuna crudo, and a lobster roll with chips and coleslaw on the side. Everything was so delicious. We ate until we couldn't tak
Eventide is always a hit when we visit Portland.
This past trip we stopped in twice during the 3 nights we were there because it's just that good. Don't let the long line out front deter you- it generally seems to move pretty fast. Oysters (of course) with horseradish ice, lobster roll, b

Brown butter lobster roll - 100/10, so good I had to order more than one! Truly delicious & wish they could ship across country!
Fresh and delicious.
Glad we stopped in for some great seafood. Friendly service. Check it out after a day of walking around.
Innovative and creative menu with focus on seafood.
Love the lobster curry coconut bisque! Salads are also memorable and, like everything else on the menu, exploding with fresh flavors. Desserts are dreamy. Even tied has the reputation of being hard to get into, but I've always gone there outsid
The oysters were phenomenal.
Being from Texas and only having access to gulf oysters, the selection and quality were eye opening.
Exceptional seafood
Our cruise ship stopped Monday in Portland and I had mapped out a few oyster bars. Eventide Oyster was only a few blocks up the hill from the end of the dock so we made it the first stop. We never made it anywhere else. A lineup of a dozen types of
Eventide Oyster Company is outstanding.
The brown butter lobster roll is on another level--seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten. At first glance the lobster roll might look a little small, but they definitely stuff that little bun full of lobster. I also tried an oyster sh
Great lobster rolls.
Great atmosphere. Oysters top-tier. The buttered buns for the lobster roll will make it much better.
Great food! Best lobster roll in portland
Love it! The oysters were so amazing and the Tabasco ice was a good add-on. The brown butter lobster roll was by far the best one we tasted in Portland. The service was great, staff was up eat, food was unique and amazing taste. And the oatmeal whoop

This place is phenomenal! While in town for our wedding, my husband and our daughters stopped in here. We are from Louisville, Kentucky. So our fresh seafood options are subpar at best. The food at Eventide was fresh, simple yet modern and delicious.

Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! Being from out of town and stopping there last year for the first time, we talked about it all year! When we decided to go back to Portland on vacation this year we knew we had to make another stop at Eventide! So goo

I wasn't sure how my experience would go.
I was confused about checking in at the hostess stand and met some not so friendly staff. I was eventually seated and ordered a dirty dirty, 6 oysters, the green salad and a lobster roll and a whoopie pie. Everything was perfectly cooked and favorab

Great food and great service! Everything was delicious and Jordan gave us great service.
Brown butter lobster roll lives up to the hype! Be prepared to wait during lunch-dinner times.
Expect a wait during peak (late lunch through dinner) times…even mid-week. There didn’t seem to be much of a wait earlier (11am – 12pm) and later (9pm) on. There are indoor and outdoor seating. Some of the indoor seating is communal (shared).
Reservations a hoax
The online reservation is a hoax. They claim that they accept reservations two weeks in advance but at 8 am two weeks prior to a date all reservations are fully booked. You must rely on the walk-in process which is rude and unfriendly quoting 1-2 hou
Eventide Oyster Company
We arrived early, when we left the wait was over 45 minutes. Lobster roll and coleslaw were delicious. Average service. Indoor/ outdoor seating. 5% additional fee is automatically added to your bill for the kitchen staff.
The best!
My favorite Portland restaurant! The best oysters and those buns are a 10/10. Service and food...the best! I can't recommend this place enough. The wait is worth it. The best lobster roll I've ever had and I've had many.

I visit family in Maine every summer and always eat in Portland; this is my second time at Eventide. Be prepared for a long wait, but their food is consistently delicious. However, there are comparative/better places around. I like it but don’t lov
Favorite Lobster Rolls
The lobster rolls at this place are delicious. First look, they were different than all the other rolls that I tried. The bun was dense but light and buttery. Staff was busy and sometimes took a while to get to the table for additional drinks. Oyster
Fantastic oyster experience!
If you love oyster and a raw bar experience, this is the place for you! We arrived and I was sure we would end up having to wait a bit but luckily we were sat right away. We love oysters and don't always get to try new types in Texas so we were

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Eventide Oyster Co. South Portland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Eventide Oyster Co. South Portland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Eventide Oyster Co. South Portland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Eventide Oyster Co. South Portland!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
