went there two restaurant weeks ago. it was the ONLY place that i came out satisfied. didn't have their fresh oysters & clams, although was little tempted. nice "coarse" corn bread. their seafood linguine was SO good. so much seafood (even for restaurant week menu!) that it's good for two meals. i think none but one at our table could finish. we all packed it home. lots of merchants only want to use promotional tactics (and i'm not just talking about restaurant week) to attract customers and then cheat them off (at least offering less-than-average portion or quality). i don't appreciate these shady practices at all. hence, i applaud for union oyster house's generosity and vision (that's how you get returned customers on regular days!). however, couldn't applaud for the service. it was slow at best. first we had to wait for a table even though we made reservations--and it wasn't busy when we arrived. then waitress didn't seem too happy upon hearing that we're restaurant week customers. i mean, again, if anything goes wrong it's 90% management's problem. if you consider us "cheap" customers, then don't participate in restaurant week! if you want to have people try out your restaurant in order to attract potential future returns, then get your staff to appreciate their business at their first visit! as the saying goes: you don't have a second chance to make the first impression. :)
Pros: great seafood
Cons: not so great service
