    My husband and I dined at Hourly Oyster on a Friday evening. The restaurant is tucked away on a side street just off of Harvard Square. We found the ambiance to be very pleasant and comfortable, with enough space between the tables so as not to feel infringed upon by other diners. The service was excellent, pleasant, and prompt. The food was delicious! I had the Faroe Island salmon, and my husband had a lobster roll. The salmon was prepared expertly and was of high quality. The lobster was tender and generous and not overrun with mayo. We shared the olive oil cake for dessert, which was moist and delicious! We will definitely go back, as we had a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

    Returning after a few months and both the service and food continue to remain excellent! Started with the oysters, absolutely excellent, so fresh. Tried the ob carpaccio, will be ordering that again, and as always the crab rangoon remains our favorite. Served by Kyle, our evening here was great.
