"You have to try the dish that put this place on the map—the Eventide Brown Butter Lobster Roll. Of all the lobster rolls in Maine, this one has the most intense briny flavor. It may sound sacrilege, but I’ll forgo tradition any day for a sandwich as good as this."

"A lobster roll doesn't need to be traditional to be great (even in Maine), and the one served at tiny Portland destination Eventide Oyster Co. proves it. The fresh-picked lobster is tossed with nutty brown butter before being tucked into a Chinese-style steamed bun, and the end result is a marvel."

"Along with its namesake Bivalves, this always-packed hot spot doles out superior lobster rolls in the form of pint-size steamed buns stuffed with meat and doused in an addictive brown butter vinaigrette."

"This is a great lobster roll: sweet lobster, a great bun, and topped off with a delicious brown butter vinaigrette."

"Once the brown butter-lemon juice "dressing" was on there, I'm not sure I could tell the difference, other than to say it was perfectly cooked lobster meat."

"We love the rich brown butter sauce that the team at Eventide Oyster Co. in Portland, Maine, makes. This butter is the base of Eventide’s signature brown-butter lobster roll, a departure from Maine tradition served on a Chinese-style steamed bun."

"This unconventional roll, served on an Asian steamed bun, features lobster tossed in brown butter and lemon juice and finished with some fresh chives. It's simple yet sophisticated and may well be my favorite (shh!)."
on Lobster Roll
"Eventide Oyster Co. certainly lives up to its sister city's legacy with its take on the lobster roll. Purists might scoff at the Chinese steamed bun in lieu of a plain roll, and the brown butter vinaigrette (gasp!), but the innovation and update are undeniably delicious."
on Lobster Roll
"Eventide has the most unique and chefy lobster roll of all our nominees but despite its departure from the classic it is still simple; bread, lobster, and a light sauce to keep it all together."
