The Hourly Oyster House

Pros: Fresh oysters! Great service. Perfectly cooked fish. Bartender listened to and respected our custom order. Lobster was perfectly cooked and sweet. Salt and vinegar chips were a great appetizer (though they could have used more of both salt and vinegar, IMHO, I understand everyone is not like me). Malt vinegar provided on the table for additional seasoning. Good drink selection. Excellent music choice, and not played too loud. Great acoustic management.

Cons: Inconvenient location if coming by car. Prices on the higher side. Rye bread and herbed butter that came with The Hourly was a hit with me, but not with my fellow diners. Needed more lemon wedges with our oysters. Table itself was physically on the small side.

While touring Harvard we stumbled onto this fantastic restaurant. First I absolutely loved the vibe and atmosphere here. The food was outstanding with phenomenal service. The lobster roll was delicious. The bankers lunch was very nice with half a grilled cheese with tomato and bacon and a bowl of clam chowder. They also have a great kids menu. The oysters looks amazing too.

One of the best restaurant I visited in Boston. Bailey is one of the most kindest, respectful lady and human being over met in all of America. Thank you Bailey. The music in this place is soulful - old school and what music should be. The food is great and cooked and prepared with love. It’s a pub like feel yet foodies delight space.

My boyfriend and I came to the Hourly Oyster House on New Year's Eve for oysters. They have the best selection around! They had a special where you could order two of each with 8 varieties. This was a great way to get a taste of oysters around New England. Our favorite were the Savage Blondes which come from Savage Harbour Bay, PEI. We sat at the bar and had a few mixed drinks. Our service was great. I highly recommend the Hourly Oyster House.

We went there for lunch this pst week! We were a party of 6 and decided to have our office annual holiday lunch here.

We started with fresh oysters which were just wonderful! We tried different types and sizes! They all tasted fresh and wonderful! After all it is an oyster house!

As for my main course, I went with the lobster roll which was just pure lobster love! Chunks of real lobster meat with a touch of mayo and excellent French fries. The lobster was fresh and tasted as it should!

Overall we had a wonderful experience and would love to come back!
