We were visiting for our anniversary, and we were told to come have lunch. We could have had a better time. Debbie was our server, and she made us feel so special. Her demeanor and friendliness was the best we had experienced in Boston. Highly recommend!!! The food was delicious, but Debbie made our meal perfect.

I went for Dineout Boston and the menu was good, but should have gone for the salmon entree instead of pasta.... That's my bad, but over all great food for the price

Definitely a place I will be visiting again when I return to Boston.

The Union Oyster House was recommended, but our experience was less than expected. Granted, this place is the oldest restaurant in the country so the history is very interesting, and the visit was worthwhile, but if you are expecting great food, this is not your place. I would not skip a one-time trip to this restaurant, but I would go in with the understanding that you are NOT going to eat great seafood.

Fantastic place. We went late in the evening with amazing service. The menu was excellent, and our server was top notch.

A great experience dining in Americas oldest restaurant. Friendly and accommodating service. Best chowda and boston cream pie in the city!

A must-visit place. My colleague and I showed up early and we barely waited any time before being called up. The waitress was diligent, friendly and engaging, and knew the perfect balance between when to ask for service and when not (i.e. no interruptions during an engaging conversation). A perfect five is befitting! The only noise level came from Boston Bruins fans next to us but then, who are we foreign guests to interrupt locals' fun? Thank you, Union Oyster House, for an overall great experience!

Crab cakes we’re missing crab, 1st oyster tasted funny, not fresh. Just so so at best. Will not return!

Beautiful ambiance. We had a corner booth with a great view. Food was great. Loved the experience.

The food was excellent as well as the service. It was a very enjoyable lunch.

Great setting and decent seafood. I had shrimp ravioli and it only had 4 shrimp but they were larger size - would’ve been better with a few more! Our server was Stephanie and she was great - very attentive and friendly. Overall, we enjoyed Union and will return.

Good resturant. Our waitress was great. The cornbread was really good. I ordered the french onion soup which was good. Not sure I'd go back as I'm not big into seafood but worth a visit once.

I was a nervous. I hadn't been back to the old Union Oyster House in years and some of the online reviews made it sound terrible. I needn't have worried. Yes, it's a place that caters to tourists. Yes, it's not the cheapest meal in Boston. Get real people, it's in the heart of an urban center and in an area where terrorists frequent. That said, the service was excellent, the fish perfectly cooked, the clam chowder just as I remembered oh, and the desert scrumptious.

Reservation was not ready upon arrival. My son ordered the Lobster Ravioli, which was cold and contained very little food in the dish. I ordered the Lobster Casserole and it was tasteless. The food was overpriced for the quality served. Extremely disappointed in the service and the food. I would not recommend this restaurant for the food or service; however, the gift shop and interior were quite lovely.

Great food, excellent service, but very expensive, and pretty noisy at 7 pm. Overall, a good experience!

Historic old location, but food was classic boring Boston. Nothing too interesting or unique.

Phenomenal oysters and a great beer collection. The beer was cold and the service was excellent. A little bit pricy, but definitely worth it.

Our server has been at the resturant for 30+ years. She is a classic and made the evening complete.

I always take family members here when visiting Boston. It is old school and I haven't tried a lot of the fresh seafood, but it's fun and it's just something you should do!

Staffs were friendly and professional. Both fresh and grilled oyster were very tasty and smelled good, but expensive a little bit.

Mattie (spelling ?) our server was excellent, very welcoming and nice without being too much. Food and drink was great.

Staff was great, food and beverages wonderful as well.

Very cosy place

Great structure and very friendly service, but both lobster and steamers were overcooked which is surprising for a restaurant dedicated to seafood.

We visited this restaurant late on a Sunday evening. We were never rushed and service was excellent. Our food was delicious and reasonably priced for the portions. We will definitely return

The nostalgia brings you in but the good food great service keeps you coming back. This is the oldest restaurant in the country, if your in Boston you should go.

Food was delicious. They were very very busy so service was a little slow..... server apologized.

Food and overall experience was great. Would recommend!!!!

Wonderful service, energetic atmosphere but sadly food was far below expectations. As New England natives, we found the shellfish overcooked and under-seasoned and presentation uninspired. We tried the hot oyster house sampler, clam chowder and seafood newburg. Every bite was underwhelming and we walked away disappointed.

Worth it for the history that’s about it.

Took 45 minutes to get our meals and our waitress barely came to the table, one of the other waitresses ended up helping us since the other lady was not doing her job.

Travel with friends and family

Our total bill was 120 for two meals one mixed drink and a soda. I got the lobster scampi and for the price of 50.00 due to market price the amount of lobster was subpar. I received a plate with a head on it and the waitress took it away when we lifted up the head there was green stuff that came out of it onto my pasta and it was disgusting tasting. The service was very slow I’m guessing due to Valentine’s Day and we were sat right next to an entrance/exit so many people walking by not what I would expect from an expensive restaurant

Wonderful Boston Tradition!! Scallops and Oysters were delicious

Food is always cook correctly and served hot. We were never rushed between courses.

Long established dining establishment in the heart of old Boston. The interior of the restaurant likely looks as it did 100 years ago and gives a warm, cozy feeling. The service was very good and attentive. I expected the food to be outstanding, given the long history of the place, but it was just ok. I had the Seafood Newburg. It came to the table luke warm and the sauce wasn't what I expected, kind of bland. Portion size very good with large shrimp, scallops and pieces of lobster. Great experience for the tourists

Excellent food, great service, prica as one would expect in fine dining.

we dined toward the end of the dinner service; maybe that is what the hostess wanted to seat us at an awkward table (half in the aisle between rooms); fortunately we were finally seated elsewhere. Both the fish and clam chowders were tastier than most Boston fare; my wife's crab cakes were fantastic; my mussels wee heavenly! The Indian pudding was classic but served so hot that a la mode would have made it more palatable.

As an historic experience in Boston, I recommend to friends. In fact, this meal was with friends from California. They thoroughly enjoyed the food, the ambience, and the entire experience.

The food is Fantastic. Every time I visit Boston I make sure to eat here. Service is terrific.

Great place, had a really great experience there. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Boston.
