Had a GREAT lunch today! Our waitress, Liz, was great and everyone else was really friendly as well. The calamari was very tender, and the oysters and haddock were super fresh. Even brought some chowda home. Loved it!

In town on business. Spotted the Union Oyster House and was on my way. Sat at the bar and watched the fresh oysters being shucked. They were delicious. I also tried the amazing "Chowdah"! I will be back.
