I'm not a seafood person, but I stopped at the bar for a Sam Adams Colonial, an exclusive to the Union Oyster House. Service was speedy and the Colonial was fantastic.

The best Clam Chowder ever, and the history behind this outstanding place. Simply wonderful. To sit where President John F. Kennedy enjoyed his dinner. Iam honored.

Excellent food, great atmosphere! Good variety of oysters and clams. Meaty lobster rolls. Sit at bar if you can. In operation since 1826.

Sorry, didn't love it. It was my first time there this weekend. Bar service was only mediocre. Wait staff was friendly. Food was only average and WAY overpriced. I doubt we'll be back.
