Oysters at this Portland landmark near the river come fried, stewed, or on the half shell. The clam chowder is tasty, but the crab stew is a rare treat. Combination dinners let you mix your fried favorites. The collection of steins, plates, and marine art has grown since the restaurant opened in 1907 to fill beams, nooks, crannies, and nearly every inch of wall.

As an Oregonian now living in Pennsylvania, a meal at the Oyster Bar is ALWAYS required when I am visiting family. The oysters are always delicious! I love having a variety to choose from. After all these years, I still love the funky wood walls with all the plates.
The one thing I would improve is the staff's knowledge of the wines.
