Eventide Oyster Co. sits on Middle Street in East Bayside, the original location behind what's grown into a two-city operation under Big Tree Hospitality, with a second outpost, Eventide Fenway, now open in Boston. The restaurant centers on a raw bar of pristine oysters and shellfish, paired with a New England-rooted menu.
The Brown Butter Lobster Roll is the signature dish, popular enough to ship nationwide through a Goldbelly partnership. Eventide's chef won the James Beard Foundation's Best Chef award in 2017, following finalist nods in 2015 and 2016.
Portland Press Herald named Eventide among the city's best in 2025. It's become a known stop for out-of-town visitors, with long lines and word-of-mouth hype building around the oysters and lobster roll, backed by service that regulars and reviewers alike point to.
