Editorial Review for Dan and Louis Oyster Bar – by Kristin Kaye and Annamaria Pardini

In Short
This sprawling restaurant steeped in Pacific Northwest history is decked-out in seafaring motif, replete with a salvaged ship's wheel, cannon, vintage photos and newspaper clippings. Rose City residents, tourists and business diners flock here for the serious seafood and casual atmosphere. It's all about the oysters. Shucked to order on the premises, they arrive fresh, succulent and full of flavor. Fish dinners are available broiled and fried.

I was told I had to come in and have some oysters by my coworkers. I came in on 10/4/2008 and the restaurant was full to bursting. I was told there was a half hour wait, and IT WAS WORTH IT!!!!! The Oysters were fresh, the portions were great and the staff was awesome. Keep up the great job and I will be back

Pros: food Oysters, staff

Cons: parking

After hearing about this restaurant, I was really excited to try it out. It had gotten great reviews from many friends and co-workers. As a group of four, we found out that the wait would be about a half an hour, which we said was fine. As we sat on the little couch there, we saw 2 small groups get seated right as they walked in the doors. Then another couple asked to sit in the bar and the same person that told us the wait time said they could sit anywhere in the bar that was open. First, we were not given this option nor was our name even taken to be put on the list. When a member of our party went to inquire about the wait list and the bar seating, he was told, "If you don't want to wait, there are other restaurants in Portland." He is correct, we left immediately and I will never go there again nor recommend the place. It's unfortunate for them that I work in hospitality and will not be able to recommend them any longer.

Pros: Location

Cons: Horrible service
