While in Hudson Massachusetts for work I wanted to eat some good fish. So I asked around and there was many suggestions but one stood out The Sole Proprietor or simply The Sole. So I gave it a shot. The atmosphere inside restaurant is great I was immediately seated. Shortly after that the waitress Maia S was at the table taking my drink order and my appetizer. The food arrived in sequence as I ordered it and everything was as delicious as it sounded on the menu. I had the maple cider glazed swordfish. Absolutely phenomenal.

The Sole Proprietor was filled to the rafter, the reviews were good so I was surprised by pretty mediocre food.

Had a reservation at 4:30 for a birthday we were seated promptly . Drinks order was taken and we looked at food menu. The birthday boy wanted muscles so we started with those . Lobster risotto and salmon were both delicious . Tiramisu for desert was very good.

They had a good selection of oysters and the chowder and bisque were very filling and pretty good. For my main course I had the crab stuffed sole. I didn't enjoy it, the sole was mushy and the crab stuffing wasn't good.

Oceanside Seafood meets Worcester. It was delicious, hot, tasty and perfectly cooked! Awesome oysters, well cooked pasta, the calamari was tender and a little spicy, it was all really a delight!
