Cast Your Vote in the Oyster Bar Showdown

You've got good friends coming into town and want to treat them to a Portland oyster bar experience — some drinks, lots of bivalves on the half shell, an entertaining atmosphere. Where do you go? Your choices are J's Oyster, the gritty waterfront institution that's been around for decades, or Eventide Oyster Co., the hip, busy, classy-but-casual listicle darling opened by the Hugo's guys in 2012. Please cast your vote below and argue your case in the comments. The poll closes Monday at 5 p.m.
