“Everything we tried was outstanding, from the oysters, to the hot dog, the cheese dip, and more. My spicy margarita was also excellent...I highly recommend a visit, and will be back next time I return to Portland.”

“…you’ll be delighted to discover that The Clam Bar deserves a spot atop Portland’s renowned restaurant scene. Great menu, incredibly creative, flavorful food, and service that some restaurants three years — not three weeks — in business would die for. Congrats to owners and crew for creating something truly original and enjoyable.”
