    This establishment did an outstanding job at fulfilling our requests and seated us at the table I had specifically asked for. The food was delicious and the prices are fairly reasonable, but the service was above and beyond tonight. Thank you Union Oyster House servers!!!

    I recently visited this restaurant and had an amazing experience. The oysters I ordered were incredibly fresh and delicious, truly a treat that made me feel like I was by the coast. My favorite dish was definitely the Zuppa di Mare, a perfectly seasoned seafood broth packed with flavor. The service was also outstanding; my waiter, César, was very attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and top-notch service. I'll definitely be back!
