Overpriced but good - if you‘re heading up the coast, est oysters there. If you‘re only kn Portland it‘s worth it to get a taste of Maine without having to leave

The food is mouth watering. Please get the brown butter lobster roll you won’t regret it! The clam chowder was amazing and unlike any other I’ve had. It had seaweed on top which I thought was a modern and delicious touch. The oysters were also great and they have many different kinds. Will definitely return when we make our next trip to Portland.

The lobster roll was delicious! My husband also said his soup was delicious 👌🏼. They were super busy and I had to ask for water 3 times before I got any while waiting. Our server was not in the best mood and looked at me crazy when I asked her questions about the oyster shot. It was my first time trying an oyster. I hardly eat seafood where I live and came to vacation where I thought I would try some seafood 😅.

What a disappointment.
Had a pick up order for the chips, chicken bites and fish bites.

The chips had 2 hairs in it (found them when I plated) and the fish + chicken bites were burnt so much they were hard and inedible. Tried to find pieces to eat, and burnt.

What a waste of money.

Will definitely NOT be returning here.

Has become a staple for locals and visitors alike. Fresh, local and creative dishes. Lots of local beers. Stellar wine list. Full bar. Get ready to wait, even in the “off season”.

Freshest oysters we had in Maine with amazing local variety. The brown-butter lobster roll, tuna crudo, and waffle scallop yaki were all outstanding. Can’t wait to go back.

Nice little restaurant with a modern feel and very welcoming. Neat concept with oysters on the bar for viewing. The staff was friendly, but incredibly slow.

The lobster roll was dynamite! Only issue was it was more of a kids size portion and for the price I would have preferred it to be larger. The clam chowder was...less than desirable, unfortunately. The kids meals dont come with fries which was disappointing.
And the oysters...AMAZING! They were fresh and local and made the experience worth it.

The prices honestly didnt match to food (or portion size). Overly priced for kids food (with no fries) and lobster roll (based on size, not even a large portion of lobster for the tiny roll). The only price point that was honest was thr oysters.

If it weren't for the slowness, the elevated prices and the less than desirable clam chowder, this is a 5* all the way. The quality of the llobster and oysters were excellent though!!

If you’re a fan of fresh seafood and relaxed coastal vibes, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. The oyster selection alone is worth the trip—freshly shucked and beautifully presented. Each one tastes like a clean, briny kiss of the ocean. But the true standout is their brown butter lobster roll, which might just be the best I’ve ever had.

The atmosphere is equally inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating that cater to any mood—cozy and intimate inside, breezy and low key on the patio. Their beer selection is also impressive, with local brews on draft and a thoughtful list of bottled options. Whether you’re coming for a casual lunch or a leisurely dinner, this spot delivers a flawless seafood experience every time.

Maybe my expectations were too high for this place but this place is for sure over hyped on tiktok. Food was good but very small portions for amount of money. I left hungry and paid way too much for what I got.

We ordered 2 lobster rolls to go. We got back and were kind of disappointed. I'll say the bun was really tasty but they didn't have the amount of lobster I saw in the pictures. Like the ratio was off or something. The small amount of lobster we did have tasted good though. I was here for a few days and had a lobster roll every day, and I don't know if the amount we got was the standard, but these are much smaller than the other ones I had around the city.
