The Hourly Oyster House Customer Reviews

Overall Average Score:

Exceptional (5 out of 5)

Write a review

Liked: Everything - service, food, drinks, ambience.
Disliked: Zero was bad.

We spent a leisurely lunch before the UMASS/Harvard basketball game, and our wait staff was wonderful, letting us just keep ordering more over the hour and a half we were there. I have to say, the bartender is an artist. I had the Lady Almathea, and a cosmo. As good or better than any drinks I've ever experienced (only other comparable was in NY city). I'm going to try to create one at home, as I didn't see a recipe on-line for the Lady Almathea.

Liked: The oysters. The grilled octopus. The shrimp cocktail. The cocktails.
