The Hourly Oyster House will be celebrating the official arrival of summer and all its attendant charms – sunshiny days, balmy evenings and lots of al fresco eats – with a Summer Soiree on their Dunster Street patio. Starting at 5:30pm on Tuesday, June 26th, there’ll be prosecco and plenty of passed apps, including cured hamachi and a glut of oysters (shucked, tempura-ed and composed with confit fennel and orange salad, mint oil and orange tobiko). All of which will be followed by a seafood-laden, four-course, sit-down dinner from chef Phil Lewis (have a look at the menu below). He and his team have even picked the wines so all you have to do is relax and enjoy. The dinner costs $75 per person, including tax and gratuity. You can reserve your spot online here or call 617.765.2342 with any questions–and get your summer off to a perfect start.
