The mark of a truly great business is when you stop comparing them to others because the comparison is unnecessary. They set the bar so high it is their own standard now.

Thank you for sharing your experience! It is customers like you who make what we do so rewarding.

Union Oyster House is touristy but the chowder is legitimately great. Been open since 1826 — oldest restaurant in America. $18 for a bowl of clam chowder. The raw bar upstairs is the move. Go at lunch to avoid the dinner crowd. Good for out-of-town guests.

I moved across town and I still come here instead of switching to somewhere closer. That should tell you everything about how I feel about the service quality.

Came back for a second round and the quality was just as strong as the first time. Consistency is everything and these folks have it dialed in.

We needed someone reliable and they delivered. Fair pricing, showed up when they said they would, and the work was exactly what we needed. Would use again.
