Reviews

I would indicate 4 and 1/2 stars if I could! 
The food is delicious, they are famous for their Brown Butter Lobster Roll, but it's the Crab Roll that we we're the most impressed by. The seasoning was balanced and fresh, and the buns have the perfect texture. We also had the Fried Hake, which was just as perfect. We went twice in the week, and we regret not going a third time! It's a bit difficult to get a place, and the service is very hurried, but it is definitely worth waiting for.

Great food and even better music. Make sure to call ahead for reservations on weekends. The oysters, lobster roll and clam chowder are some of the best we’ve ever had. They are owned by the same people that own The Honeypaw, next door. If you go to one, they can escort you through the kitchen to the other. 

The staff, environment and great food give this place a five huge star rating.

The oysters are, as you’d expect, amazing. Everything else is fine, but overpriced. Go there for oysters and a drink while you’re in town, but do dinner someplace else. There’s better food to be had in Portland that doesn’t call for a two-hour wait and a second mortgage.

Also, considering what you’ll pay and how long you’ll wait, the much-vaunted brown butter lobster roll was only decent THERE I SAID IT.

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.
