Best oysters from The Union Oyster House @ Boston, Massachusetts

The Union Oyster House located in Boston not only serving great seafood but also is a national historic landmark. It is one of the oldest America's restaurant established in 1826. The restaurant was also a favourite eating place for Kennedy clan and Daniel Webster one of America's five greatest senators. In this oyster house, you can really feel the local atmosphere and the history with many writeup and paintings on the wall. I came here during lunch time and were lucky to be able to have a seat at their oyster bar. I had a plate of their raw oysters and they were very fresh and taste the best.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. I just had their oysters here which were very fresh, juicy and taste great. Have a recommended Samuel Adams summer ale - a seasonal brewed beer which taste good).
Price:3/10(Expensive. The price of the oysters were at expensive side at USD16.50 for half dozen oysters).
