    Always love the unique old time colonial ambience of The Union Oyster House. The food was good and the service was excellent. Would like to see a wider variety of selections on the menu but apart from that it was a great experience and highly recommended.

    Delicious!! Tight quarters with the tables but that’s every North end restaurant. Delicious food and drinks but they don’t serve desert. Need to go to their bakery next door but given it was Christmas Eve Eve, there were lines out of every bakery door!! Good service and not bad prices. They have valet ($30) but didn’t realize and my husband dropped us off and parked in the lot down the street. They won’t seat you until your full party is together. Overall would definitely recommend.
