Welcome back, J's Oyster! We've missed you.

J's Oyster is one of the more popular places right on Portland's waterfront that gets plenty of traffic from tourists. But it's loved by Mainers, and since the multiple storms this past winter, it's been closed. Speculation online was that they may never open. But alas, TODAY IS THE DAY! Friday, June 7, 2024!

Why did it take so long for J's Oyster in Portland, Maine, to open?

Oh, if you missed the why in the delay, you know if you were around for the December, January, and April storms. This was J's in January of 2024.

The flooding along the waterfront in Portland, Maine, was relentless. J's may be reopening today (Friday, June 7), but they aren't confident that they won't have to deal with flooding again as an iconic restaurant on the waterfront. They are keeping those sandbags handy!
