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.

I also love that they have a fish market attached, so you can take home fresh seafood after your meal too. Everything feels fresh, local, and thoughtfully sourced.

If you appreciate 'terroir' and how each environment impacts food sources uniquely; then you will appreciate the food of the Northwest. I have never experienced a raw oyster as I did that evening. I odered three on ice; all delicious but one especially just knocked me off my chair. It was so luscious and creamy, you must order it. The waiter informed me that it was a Pacific variety, but originated from Japan. We started with complimentary sour dough bread, soft and tasty. Then we shared a freshly prepared 'Classic Ceasar romaine, torn croutons, radish, Parmigiano-Reggiano, garlic-anchovy dressing This was exceptional. No bottled dressing here, hand-made and very tasty! My wife opted for the 'Fish + Chips: cider battered Pacific cod, fries, slaw, lemon' This arrived crispy and generous portions of fresh cod. Again, very well prepared. I chose the 'Sturgeon Picatta: butter-whipped yukon potatoes, lemon-caper sauce, wild mushrooms, crispy shallots persillade' If you have never tasted sturgeon, this is a must-try dish. The fish is moist and sweet tasting and has a very nice texture. All in all, we quafed local beers and enjoyed our meals immensely.

The mashed potatoes are one of the best ever in terms of flavor and texture (and I do not play about potatoes). No matter what entree you get, you're in good hands. The parm crusted sole and clam chowder are a couple of my favorites. The decor is warm and gives a history lesson without feeling outdated. I've been multiple times and they make everyday feel like a special occasion. Big shout out to Benjamin who provided attentive service the last time I was in. As someone who's been in the service industry as well, it's truly a delight to meet others who enjoy what they do and are excellent at it. Go to Jake's with your honey, take your family, have a business meeting, or just take yourself on a date. You won't regret it.

We both started with drinks: Me: Gimme three steps. It definitely hit the spot after a long day. Onto food - we started with the Tavern Salad ($16). It hit all the notes. Greens and radishes for crunch, apples to add sweetness and blue cheese crumbles for salt. A great start to a wonderful meal. Next: Grilled albacore ($41) and roasted cauliflower ($$28). The albacore tasted good and it had with it grilled summer squash, heirloom tomato & corn, charred eggplant puree, chile oil vinaigrette. Really loved the eggplant in some ways more than the tuna. Score another for PNW freshness! The cauliflower - spicy due to the chipotle glazed with brightness from the pickled corn. Along with some grilled oyster mushrooms and coconut corn puree with scallions -it was probably my favorite dish. Had I not been so full, I might have told Gregg M we needed to order another one! Highly recommend.

Bar is hopping and their happy hour can't be beat. Their stew (oyster) is simple, filled with plump, fresh poached oysters and though, again, simple it really hits the spot. Chicken sandwich was great, served as more of a Po Boy, which while not listed as such, fantastic. $24 dollars on happy hour for a dozen fresh shucked oysters and it's your choice, which is crazy, you can get a mix of whatever they've got! Most places will have shooters or you don't get to pick, wow! Fried clams were also a hit, best I've ever had. Large, tender (which is hard), and even the happy hour portion is enough for a main for me. There's even a little pepper in there I think. Most places, they are dry, small and over fried. Steamed mussels, wonderful. Service is also flawless, many folks around helping and making you feel welcome and comfortable. I know nothing about nothing when it comes to running a place like this, but I loved to see that any person is willing to assist with customers and keep the flow and pace going. I've been to many establishments where you can't get someone to save your life, and paid double or triple. I've heard this place could be in danger of closing, I hope not, that would be a serious loss for Portland. Big thank you and shout out to a great human being working the bar that I haven't seen in over 20 years from high school! Keep rocking!

I've had food poisoning before but nothing like this. While I understand it is a risk to consume raw oysters, I am sad that it happened to me here. Also, the shrimp cocktail as others have mentioned is not a true shrimp cocktail - it's baby shrimp. Would have loved to have had that clarification before ordering. Will I return? I don't know. What I endured in the last 24 hours leaves me skeptical about ever eating raw oysters again. Staff were attentive and friendly though. We sat outside and I didn't appreciate the punk music across the way. Kind of took away from the dining vibe.

We are typically brunch people, making it here most often on a Saturday or Sunday for a late brunch. Their benedicts are to die for... truly, they're all wonderful. Their Laser Potato is out of this world. Truly, my favorite item on their menu. It is fabulous in all ways. I often take a side of it home just to enjoy later. We recently tried them for dinner. Their muscles are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly, the best I've ever had. This beats living in the southeast on the coast, any west-coast seafood restaurant, and every place I've ever enjoyed in Italy. They've certainly topped the muscle game. Highly recommend Olympic Provisions. I will gladly vouch that the negative reviews are from the haters, just to hate. The overall experience has never been anything less than fantastic. Photos to follow (hopefully, if I can find them! HA!) Enjoy OP next time you're in PDX!

There were 5 of us so we got sat in the corner near the restrooms. We came in on a Saturday around lunch time and it was nearly empty with maybe another 1 or 2 tables. We opened the menu and realized it was kind of pricey for all the items so we decided to get two platters to share for an appetizer. Nonetheless the falafels and chicken kabobs were really good. The platters came with hummus,tzatziki, and baba ganoush. Each of them were really good and tasty. My favorite was probably the tzatziki because it was so fresh and had a good coolness to it. The chicken was were tender and the falafels had a good crunch and taste to them. So dipping them both into these sauces was really good. The order came with 2 pita breads to dip as well. The employee came to check on us a few times. We ordered another pita bread to finish off the rest of the dips. Really good food but really high in price point.

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.
