Great blue collar dive on the waterfront in downtown Portland, Maine. Just what you'd expect from eating at the bar with the locals (all the tables were full) and then some: I had a lobster risotto with pan seared scallops finished with a lime curry aioli. Plus serious down home clam chowder, the best white rolls evah, and a local dark ale called autumn somethin'.

Green salad came with a sealed foil packet of pepper parmesan dressing on the side, and while we were eating the owner sat down at the bar with a parrot on her shoulder. She knew everyone there except us.

It's that kind of place.

Our new friend the lobbyist said you browse Trip Advisor for J's Oyster and you'll see nothing but 1 star or 5 star ratings.

'Cause it's that kind of place.
