Located in the heart of Portland’s Old Port district, Eventide serves their lobster roll with a choice of their famous house-made brown butter vinaigrette, hollandaise, or house mayo. We suggest the brown butter choice for the most delightful flavor profile. Using a combination of brown butter, lemon juice, and salt, who knew that a brown butter vinaigrette could be so divine! Not to mention, Eventide’s selection of local oysters and tasteful craft cocktails is the perfect lobster roll accompaniment.
