Dan Louis Oyster - Portland

Beautiful **** marys and tasty muddles. I can't expect to go back to some oysters. the history of this place is amazing with tons of remembrance and historical images decorating the walls. it is like visiting a museum.

I came across these old photos that I took a while back and I remember this as being a great place to have oysters on the half shell, fried chicken, oyster shots, and clam chowder. They also have some other seafoods, sandwiches, burgers, etc. Although I find it to be expensive here, and the craft beer selection could be better. Other than that, all else was good. Convenient downtown location as well.

The oysters are pretty good, even for summer. The clam chowder is also awesome. I also got the traditional captains fry (with all the seafood) and it was just on the good side of good , I wasn 't blown away by it. The staff was very sweet. I love all the history memorabilia about the restaurant but feel like it could be updated. Overall I 'd stop here again for a plate of oysters and glass of prosecco.

Great institution with history to boot. The interior is filled with a over a century of memorabilia. Plus the oysters are as fresh a they come and the seafood is fresh and delicately prepared. For something completely different, try the smoked salmon fish and chips!

My best friends and I made a girls trip out of Portland. One of my girls was craving oysters, Dan Louis was 2 of 2 oyster bars that were great choices. We also got extremely lucky with our reservations because it was happy hour! We ended up with 4 dozen ray oysters on a half shell. Great options they gave us 2 of each oyster from the card they gave us that told us where each oyster was from. Very tasty and creamy and it absolutely makes you want more. We were definitely oyster 'd out by the end of our meal. We also got the shrimp cocktail which wasn 't really shrimp cocktail, my friend referred to them as maggots horrible way to describe them but in her defense that 's really what they looked like. Still worth the visit especially during happy hour!
