Had to add a lime's worth of juice and some tajinn to taste it but it was fresh. Overall, it's okay, gets the job done for a pasta craving but probably wouldn't splurge here again.

The fish was super fresh, flaky, and the batter stayed crispy without feeling overly greasy. The fries were solid too, but the fish itself completely carried the meal. The oysters were really good as well and tasted fresh. The whole place had a laid-back seafood market type of feel, and everything tasted high quality. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in Portland.

We ordered the happy hour fish tacos which were good, although I wish the fish pieces were a little bigger. The clam chowder was delicious and ended up being my family's favorite dish. It was so good we ordered two bowls. My personal favorite was the Rockefeller oysters. They were amazing and I ended up ordering another rounds of them. Overall, we had a great experience and I'm looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu. FYI - street parking can be tight depending on where you park

While we were there, it was dining month - so we had a little prefix menu. Oyster trio to start with some bubbles! Wonderful start, but they sure give a lot of fresh horseradish!

I would come back to try more!

When traveling, I always look for fresh seafood, and when I was in Portland, I got directed to try…read morethis place. I like to freestyle when I travel, but I also like some structure, so I made a reservation to ensure no delays prior to attending a concert not too far away. The staff & our server made this special occasion great, and the food recommendations were really good. We enjoyed the fact that our server recommended things that he had, but also paid very close attention to what other people enjoyed and also offered those recommendations even though they weren't his top ones. He asked all the right questions and we picked some solid items prior to our concert. We started with some warm focaccia bread served with whipped butter. We decided on a half dozen Oysters as we wanted to try all 3 varietys. They split it off for us with 2 separate plates and talked about each of the ones we were going to have. We also had the Salmon Tartare and the Dungenous crab roll filled with plenty of crab and not filler! We also had the Chicory Salad with fried oysters that they also split for us & the Chicory Salad & the Manila claims... also really good. Of course, we had a few cocktails... starting with the "Detour" which used Batanga blanca tequila with a hint of mint to it (elevated margarita) aslong with a few Pear Necessities. To end it all we went with 2 scoops of the "Marion Berry" sorbet. (I'm originally from DC so I had to get one)....Everything was great and I would definitely return!

They were briny but great. The wedge salad was out of this world. I would rate this as one of the top wedge salads I've ever had. But then it only got better when the Bouillabaisse showed up. Holy sloppy happiness Batman. When they bring a bib to the table, get ready for some goodness. Then entire experience from the ambiance to the food and service were all fantastic. I would highly recommend everything I had and will definitely be back to further indulge.

The drinks were 10/10 I got a pickle drink then another whiskey forward drink, which the proceeds went to charity - which is just such a classy move by the restaurant, This place was also extremely queer friendly - which is probably why it felt so warm and inviting.

One way w vodka as the advertised Oyster Boozer Shooter and the other on the half shell. It was quite tasty so we did another round :P It was fun to pop in and have shooters right there at the standing room only bar at entrance. Staff was jovial and made the experience all the better. They said to come back on Mondays where it's $2 oysters and all day HH. Will do!

I went in somewhat reluctantly and left completely converted--this place is exceptional. The…read moreoysters are the standout: a wide variety, all on the smaller side (which, for anyone who actually cares about flavor and quality, is exactly what you want). They're clean, fresh, and thoughtfully sourced. Beyond oysters, the menu is surprisingly strong across the board--the fish was some of the best I've had, and the appetizers are both diverse and genuinely well-executed, not just filler. The atmosphere adds another layer. The layout is unique, with walls covered in historical photos and newspaper clippings that make it clear this isn't just a trendy spot--it's an institution that's been around for over 120 years for a reason. The crowd reflects that range too: couples, families, friend groups, and larger parties all fit comfortably. The outdoor seating is especially beautiful, right in the heart of downtown Portland, and the location itself feels safe and well-trafficked, which matters more than people admit. Service was excellent and impressively efficient. We had a 6:30 reservation on a packed Saturday night and were seated exactly on time, which is rare for a place this busy. The staff was attentive, accommodating, and clearly experienced. Between the full bar, strong non-alcoholic options, and overall consistency of execution, it's the kind of place that earns repeat visits--I'll absolutely be back, and I'm glad I was talked into going.

Got sat immediately during lunch on a weekday. Ordered the tartare and garlic soup. I asked if they had lattes and they recommended me go down the hall while I wait for my order for a coffee at ranger chocolate how fun! The tartare hit the spot. Ice cold, the meat was fresh, Briney from the olives. Delicious would get again. Garlic soup, very rich. Never had it before it was delightful. Was a quick stop so I only grabbed a couple things but this was such a joy would recommend ! Looking forward to returning to try more things on the menu.

Have never seen such care to what's on the walls of any restaurant. This location downtown has amazing historic Iraqi art on the walls. The one on Alberta in NW has awesome historical photos. Iraqi shish kabobs are amazing. Perfect for 2 meals. I eat one kabob with a whole blistered onion and tomato and the greens included as a wrap with their pita bread for lunch. Then the other kabob with another onion and tomato for dinner. Tzatziki and hummus are amazing too. Lamb shank is literally fall off the bone. 10/10

For reference, middle eastern is one of my favorite cuisines, and this blew me away. Specifically, I think this was the best seasoning I've ever had on kabob meat, it was a flavor bomb. Good value too, normally I have to ask for extra meat from other restaurants, but I was full and satisfied from this plate! I also got the tabouli salad and it was very fresh. Also love how many GF options there are here! Service: 5/5 Wonderful service, the server took great care of us and answered all our questions. Ambiance: 5/5 I loved the art pieces and decoration everywhere, it really felt authentic, like I stepped into a different country for lunch. The dim lighting created a nice intimate atmosphere.

Craving oysters (when did we become these people?!), we stopped in for lunch, ordered a half dozen (and later, another half dozen), plus the Rockfish and Chips, and the Hot and Crispy Fish Sando. Everything was enjoyable: the sando was reminiscent of an upscale Fish Filet (I mean that in a positive way) with a tiny bit of heat; the Rockfish were fried in a salt-and-pepper-y seasoned batter that paired well; and the oysters, of course, were a particular highlight, as previously mentioned, since a second set was ordered to finish off the meal. The only disappointing thing about the whole meal was a rather uninspired spicy Bloody Mary, which didn't really do much for me, sadly. Service was friendly and attentive, and the covered outdoor dining area was spacious, well-lit, and warm enough to be welcoming and comfortable. There's also a secondary covered and fenced dining patio that is dog-friendly, which is another perk! And lastly, the market and bar inside boasts a heaping helping of fresh fish finery coming in many forms: fresh, frozen, 'frigerated, filleted and fried, either served over the counter, or available to-go. Lots of smoked salmon options as well! Very cool place, and one that my wife in particular has fallen in love with. We'll definitely be returning, likely for dinner next time, to see if the menu is expanded with additional options such as scallops, swordfish, steelhead and other seasonal selections.
