I really enjoy going to the Hourly because of the service level, atmosphere and food. Lately we have been trying different Oyster restaurants and we always come back to this one because of the management. They really care about their customers and the quality of the food. We are always happy after we leave.

amazing place!! very ambient, dishes were both gorgeous and delicious and not too expensive. definitely recommend getting the oysters (duh) -- i don't love raw seafood, but their oysters were incredible. the lobster bisque was super rich and creamy, and the calamari was very well-fried and paired with a fantastic sauce. the highlight for me was the lobster roll with the most amazing french fries ever!! (and my brother's mac and cheese was delicious)

Awful service and mediocre food that is overpriced. We had multiple servers assigned to us that did not provide good service. I ordered a wine pairing that came w 3 wines, 1 of which I was unable to even get, and 2 that came after the course had already been served and eaten. Shellfish was undercooked and they bring half eaten food into the kitchen and served it back to me after they tampered with it. There are obviously Food Safety Concerns - Once food has been exposed to saliva and potentially contaminated, it's no longer considered safe to be handled and served again. This restaurant should have had policies in place to prevent the re-serving of food that has been on a plate. Bringing potentially contaminated food back into the kitchen area could lead to cross-contamination and pose a risk to other food items.

Our server wasn't too attentive, maybe it was Saturday night that restaurant was bit too busy. Besides, everything else was excellent. We started with tale of two oysters, great presentation and assortment of the day. This is the reason why we visited restaurant, but few of oysters had cracked shells inside, and wasn't really tasty, all were quite fresh. Moving on to entree, we ordered lobster roll and icelandic cod. Cod cooked to perfection, it was one of the best fish I've had in a long time. Lobster roll was really good as well. For $34, it had lots of "really good lobster meats." I can't not end this review without commenting french fries. yum yum. If I return, I would definitely order the same. I would hope for little better oyster for my taste bud, but that's a crapshoot. Besides, awesome cooked food, you can tell the chef was someone who knows a thing or two. I am sure every cooked menu is top notch.
