   Good food, nice desserts and brilliant service. Excellent choice for dates. A little pricey though + basilic in the snow egg dessert was little extra.

   L’expérience était très élégante avec les plats magnifiques et le service attentif. Elegant but not ostentatious, wonderful and inventive dishes, attentive service, everything works together seamlessly to create a great dining experience.

   Rarely write reviews but wow the service was spectacular. So was the food but the service really blew us away. From the valets to the hostess to the server- everyone brought their A game. It was a level of service that seems to be disappearing even from high-end hospitality. Ostra can teach a masterclass for service. Food- I have never loved Branzino this much. It is a must-try. Even had leftovers later that night which is also rare for me! Dessert, drinks, appetizers- everything was on point. Very well done!

   The experience was amazing. The waiter was excellent. He spoke up and enunciated properly which made ordering and communication effortless. The whole wait staff were attentive to details. I will definitely go there for dinner every time I am in Boston.

   Great waiter, service, and Presentation of dishes were great. My shrimp and sausages were too hard of a chew for my liking on my paella. Date got salmon and was happy with the dish. Oysters were also agreat experience.

   Service was above and beyond. Went for an anniversary and they made sure we felt recognized and when leaving every staff member wished us a good night. We had a range of seafood and specials (5). 4 of the 5 were 9/10 the other a 7. Steak was little overdone but the rest was good (we didn’t say anything because it was borderline but I feel they would have redone it if we asked). Drinks were top notch.

   This is our second Valentine's Day and Ostra and again they knocked it out of the park. My significant other left very happy. Service was classic Ostra, professional, friendly and attentive. The food is simply fantastic, elegant, fresh, expertly prepared and presented. They even asked if we had plans for after dinner, which we did, to ensure we'd be served without creating a time problem. Ostra is, hands down, our favorite Boston restaurant, and given how much we travel, it's honestly one of the best places we've been to in all of our travels.
