    Only negative for today was the terrible valet service. After waiting 15 minutes we decided to find a garage and park ourselves. Understandably it was a rainy day but cars were lined up down the street waiting to be parked or at least see a valet. Definitely not a good day for the valet attendants. Once inside our experience was amazing as always.

    This was our first visit at Ostra. We celebrated our niece's birthday. Thank you for the lovely touch of placing a hand written birthday wish on the table. Our server Christopher and his colleagues were wonderfully attentive but also allowed us to pace through our dinner in a relaxed manner. We enjoyed the gnocci with lobster. The arugula salad (a special last night). We enjoyed the monkfish entree and also enjoyed the oven roasted branzino. We also ordered the shishito peppers and the delicious side of mushrooms. We ordered a chocolate torte in advance of the meal as a mini birthday cake. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    The manager went out of his way to make our family group of 8 comfortable. He had the loud music turned very low so we could have a conversation. The food was excellent! I had the best steak - 12 oz. prime sirloin perfectly cooked to medium with garlic mashed potatoes and side green salad. Others had wonderful crab cakes and miso glazed bass. At our request we had a table apart from others, but in general the tables are well spaced and the restaurant is spacious.
