Solid Seafood at Union Oyster Bar - Boston



Who: you’re craving seafood, dining with pescatarians, or just trying to find a restaurant that pleases the only Boston girl from a deeper south than yourself and your visiting Aussie friend
What: lobster ravioli appetizer because the cream sauce is so wonderfully rich and heavy you’ll be overwhelmed by the 3rd ravioli AND there’s chunks of lobster floating inside. My friend also enjoyed his clam chowder, and I judged his mussels appetizer to be decent, not great, just decent.
Proceed with caution on the lobster roll. Though my friend thoroughly enjoyed the lobster salad in the roll, she found the bread a bit stale around the edges. It satisfies the craving but go with the ravioli otherwise.
When: you want to enjoy good but not extraordinary, fresh but not fresh off the boat, slightly pricey but reasonably priced seafood while wearing a t-shirt and/or Ugg boots
Where: this casual, conveniently located, seafood restaurant that feels like a bar
Why: generous portions of reasonably fresh, well-made seafood in a restaurant quiet enough for civilized conversation but loud enough to fill in awkward silences
