Union Oyster House

We had Native Oysters (1/2doz.), Cape Cod Cherrystones (1/2doz.), bowl of Clam Chowder, grilled Native Swordfish, Sauteed Seafood Medley, and of course the corn bread.\rFRESH FRESH FRESH yummy half shell, the clam chowder is creamy and chuck of clam, the sauteed seafood medley was full of tasty seafood big portion (tasty leftover for lunch tmw), and I want the recipe for the corn bread. The swordfish was over cook and dry, since the piece of swordfish that we have didn't have much of fat in it so it was tough to eat. Overall it was delightful and I would go back again and again.\rSide notes on the service: I called to make a reservation 1 1/2 hour before (tuesday evening), and the reception said ""it's ok just come in anytime!"" so when we arrived we were told that we have to wait 20mins due to other reservation, so I'm guessing if you plan to eat here please make reservation a day in advance to avoid hungry tummy.

food was cold when served, steamed clams are not cooked enough this far south of maine,\rchowder is too thick and can-like.\r\r

Always crowded, this restaurant is frequented by locals and tourists and it definitely shouldn't be missed. The raw bar serves a variety of shellfish. The lobster is my favorite and everything taste really fresh. The restaurant has a full service bar and the prices are reasonable.

The Union Oyster House is a Boston land mark where in spite of the somewhat high cost is worth a visit.Please leave the kids at home. You will save money and stress.
