What People Are Saying About Alberta Street Oyster Bar

In Short – This Alberta Art's locale exudes a romantic vibe and offbeat style with bright red walls, glowing red teardrop lamps and velvet window curtains. Adults of all ages dine at the oyster bar, next to the big windows or at intimate tables toward the back of the restaurant. Raw oysters, from Penn Cove to Hog Island, are the pearls here. Executive Chef Laurel Gunderson also makes everything from crispy veal sweetbreads to savory desserts like a mole gelato.

Great oysters and great burger!
by PDXJoe
The oysters are fresh and they have a good selection. Definitely one of the top places in Portland for oysters. Also, try the burger. It's really good!
- Pros: Oysters and burger
- Cons: crowded

Stop with the oysters - food not worth the $$ (or $$$$$$)
by rc97203
My wife & I enjoyed the oysters and we should've stopped there. Instead ordered 2 entrées...oh boy! Talk about a waste of $$ - blaaaaaand & boring...and - my goodness - pricy!! The tuna was grilled correctly but the "sauce" was basically starch + food coloring agent.
- Pros: Tasty oysters. Decent service.
- Cons: BLAND & boring food.

excellent food and service
by hophugger
Being a first time visitor i didn't know what to expect but it was a very nice fine dining experience and i will go again. The food was impeccably fresh and cooked to perfection. Very nice selection of cocktails as well and some interesting house infused liquors. At times i had more than one server and my water glass was never empty. i would recommend the Chefs Whimsy for the adventurous diner as the combinations were surprisingly well matched. I didn't even have room for dessert. The topper was having the chef introduce herself to me and ensuring that my dining experience was truly pleasurable.Nice atmosphere.
- Pros: knowledgeable staff, great service
- Cons: a little pricey
