Excellent lunch. Sat at oyster bar with some really great shockers. They were so much fun. Had the shrimp scallop over rice with oysters really great lunch.

Was immediately recommended the shrimp and scallops with rice and tomato cream sauce and have zero regrets! He said “you could go with other stuff (didn’t mention what) but you’ll be sorry if you don’t get the shrimp and scallops”

100% worth it

waitress was kind of grumpy about having to think about what options are GF. shrimp cocktail was the one she knew off the top of her head, then had to ask the kitchen about other things. she didn’t seem too happy about having to find out, but i sure did make her! food is okay, had chicken and vegetables. cant get just roasted chicken, it has to come marinated but it is GF.

I was excited bc many reviews said they had a gf menu, however, they did not and the waiter pretty much told me one thing on the menu that was gf so that what I got… it was delicious honestly, but I like to have options and I know others do as well

• Good for kids

• Good with other allergies
• Offers outdoor seating

Even though it’s not on their website- they have a GF menu! I got the shrimp and scallops in a tomato cream sauce over rice with a side of broccoli and it was good! It’s very touristy (there is a gift shop downstairs) so the prices are high but if you like history, it’s a cool place to check out and get seafood!

I had the seared shrimp and scallops and it was pretty tasty. There’s a gluten free menu, which has a few options. The staff seemed knowledgeable and I didn’t get sick. I’d recommend this place.

This restaurant is the oldest continuous restaurant in Boston and thus is a huge tourist attraction, which I’d normally avoid. We had tickets to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, and all of the restaurants had huge lines except the Oyster House. It’s always busy and seating is on multiple levels. Our waitress was attentive and brought a gf menu. No gf beer or cider, so I stuck to water. I chose a pan seared cod & was surprised to find it breaded; it was cornflake crusted and cooked exactly right. (I was nervous about the breaded fish but a week later I’m perfectly fine.) Vegetables were a stir fry; onion, pepper, zucchini & summer squash, with way too many onions. Everybody gets a small dish with three red potatoes sitting in liquid butter. It’s obviously assembly line, almost cafeteria type food. My son got a huge fish & chip dish with asparagus; he ate every bite plus the corn bread I couldn’t. For the cost, not a great value, but we got in and out in time to see our game. We watched people getting huge shellfish platters and lobsters, perhaps the more expensive dinners would justify the expense. You’re paying for the experience more than the food. But I ate a decent meal with good hearty protein in the timeline I needed.
