It’s large, two storied with multiple dining rooms, a raw bar and a dance floor. …

There are three outdoor seating areas. If you’ve been here before, you know to walk upstairs, take a right, and find the door behind the bar.

It’s rustic, but has the best views in the harbor.

Summer, on the coast of Maine.
It doesn’t get much better than this.

We hadn’t been to the Oyster for a while so we were thrilled to see the new, improved and much enlarged menu(s).

Mine Oyster’s food used to be alright, but nothing rave worthy. Thankfully that’s changed.

Our appetizers of herb butter basted grilled scallops on saffron creamed corn with crispy prosciutto as well as the jerk shrimp with hot honey were… in a word… amazing.

Came my husband’s lobster with saffron cream and fresh basil over fettuccini. Ooh la la! Rich, decadent and divine.

For me? A right regular fry up done to perfection. Clams and jumbo shrimp with batter as light and crisp as the ocean air.
