Dan & Louis Oyster Bar

It had been a while since I'd been here. But the quality and service haven't slipped. This place is a Portland institution for seafood, esp oysters! Try the raw but definitely try the Rockefeller style. And also try a cup of the best chowder in the city. I'm partial to the smoked salmon chowder. So good!!

Amazing food! Everything from the clam chowder to fried oysters to the fish and chips were all delicious! Even the story of it being a very long time family owned place to the historical clippings and plate collection, made for a great atmosphere. Servers and shuckers were all friendly, and on top of it all, highly recommend!

We absolutely loved this place! When you order the oysters they give you a mix which is great because they are different sizes and flavors. We had the smoked salmon chowder and the clam chowder: both were amazing! I had never had smoked salmon in a chowder before. We sat at the quaint bar and chatted with the owner/bartender, who was quite pleasant and talkative. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. And if I lived in Portland I would be there all the time!

This place is a breath of fresh air in the dwindling downtown core. We had a dozen assorted oysters and it did not disappoint. It was a good selection with unbeatable size. The cioppino was so light and tasty but bursting with buttery seafood. Of course we also got a bowl of a comfort food favourite - clam chowder! Definitely visit this place on your next Portland trip.

Some of the best food I’ve had in a long time. Oysters were as good if not better than the oyster house in Boston. Nothing disappointed at all. Highly recommend!!! Boozy shots very well done. Half shell amazing! Fish tacos best I’ve had in years and the gumbo better than Louisiana local. If you have the opportunity make it a must stop!!
