Classy, beautiful, clean Food was delicious. Salmon tartar was split between the two of us without having to be requested to the server. Served under a glass dome filled with smoke. Not overwhelming but gave a nice hint to the fish Octopus ceviche was light(as it is ceviche) with a fresh lemon taste that was the perfect amount. Octopus was extremely tender and not over cooked Entree of halibut and sirloin were both served with an array of vegetables. Flavorful and light, especially the glaze on the steak as I believe was a wine reduction Overall loved the experience read more

We heard the great reviews and are happy to say they're absolutely right. This place is amazing. No other restaurant (that we've been to) has ever split appetizers unless they were asked. That thoughtful touch goes a long way and shows how geared to service they really are. And all the food was delicious: the octopus, the sea bass tartare, and the branzino. It was one of our most expensive meals ($400 for 2 people) but for our special occasion it was totally worth it. read more

Great food and service. We ate there twice, spent a lot of money but all worth it, for the quality.

A Memorable Evening! A wonderful and leisurely time the four of us had! Will be reminiscing this first time experience and of our favorite dishes here with years to come! Ambience 5: The restaurant was completely full with our 8:30pm reservation! In awe I was of their stark and open ultra modern dining room! Festive it was hearing the room's chatters! Soothing it was to be seated surrounded by their rippling waves lighting! Food Service 3.5: Outstanding pacing of each of our four-course meals BUT one very huge complaint and I was oh so very disappointed was that our server didn't break crust and fillet our Branzino in front of our table - awful that was! Drinks Service 1: Other than what water, we were never asked for our cocktail order - a bottle of champagne it would have been! We did luck out at choosing the right bottle of wine for our complete meal! Yet, if there was a sommelier at the restaurant, we would have appreciated his/her recommendation and ordered at least another different bottle for our entrees - disappointing! Dinner: First Course 5+: "Oysters": fresh, tasty and well shucked served with their fantastic homemade cocktail sauce & sparkling mignonette - "Sea Bass Tartare": extraordinary - decadent with topping the sea bass with the truffle Second Course 5+: "Small Leaf Heirloom Kale": perfect with the lightly coated Caesar dressing - "Grilled Spanish Octopus": absolutely delicious - "Alaskan King Crab Risotto": fresh & amazing Third Course 4: "Salt Crusted Branzino": the fish was remarkably moist & perfect pairing of sauce - "Roasted Local Monkfish Loin": delectable - and, oops "Broiled 3-lb Maine Lobster": overcooked, chewy; not good! Desserts 5+: "Snow Egg" beautiful presentation and oh so delicious - "Tahitian Rice Brûlée" subtle taste of liquor infused in the rice, wow Yes, I am looking forward in returning to Ostra: the dishes that were good were simply great! Cheers! read more

In general, the seafood ingredients of this restaurant " Ostra Boston" are fresh and the cooking method is also good!From the very beginning of the bread, we knew that we didn't choose the wrong restaurant, the service is super good and professional, the atmosphere is more formal, there is a certain distance between the dining tables and not too close to the people at the next table, the interior design is clean and tidy Modern style. All the meals tonight were very good, if I had to pick a favorite or two I would choose Monkfish & Carpaccio, Monkfish (Joyberry Farms Mushroom Ragoût, Fines Herbs, Shallots & Garlic) is very fresh and tender &Juicy, evenly cooked and just right, paired with their homemade mushroom sauce and side dish with a variety of mushrooms, it goes very well ! Prime Sirloin Carpaccio (Joyberry Farms, Parmesan, Shaved Black Truffles) the small white mushrooms are marinated and slightly sour, and the taste is very good. The beef is also sliced ​​thin enough, as an appetizer, the portion is very large ! Basically all our meals are eaten, including too delicious bread ! So ,we did not order any dessert to try it, I have to wait for the next opportunity to come to Boston MA and come here try again! read more

It was of course extremely expensive, but for a special occasion it was so amazing. The king crab appetizer was absolute perfection, the oysters were the best I'd ever had. My entree was a special and it was good, but I must admit I kind of wish I just stuck to appetizers because they all looked incredible and i didn't get to try many of them. read more

Let me start by saying that if I could have given 10 stars, I would! I simply died and went to culinary heaven!!! Ambience: amazing! The decorator was inspired when he/she chose the colors and the décor. This place is inviting even to someone who was in Boston alone for a job interview... Service: my server was AMAZING! Unfortunately, I forgot his name, sorry. But he was patient, knowledgeable, honest about the food, never rushed me and never tried to sell me the most expensive items on the menu. Only the most tasteful ones! Food: -Appetizer: ordered the burrata. The combination of figs, aged balsamic, baby arugula and a freshly made burrata were out of this world. -Entree: crab and lemon sauce pasta. Let me start by pointing out that the pasta is homemade!!! A lot of crab and the lemony sauce was again, made in heaven. -Desert: I had the chocolate cake. Disclaimer: not a bid dessert fan, but the way my waiter presented it was like my life depended on me tasting it... Gooey, warm chocolate filling was, for sure, sent by the food gods and worth every single calorie! I wish I lived in Boston to go to Ostra really often! Some may say it is expensive, I say it is just fair price for the high quality food they serve! Did I mention they deserve 10 stars?!?!? read more

Like most others I had the ricotta gnocchetti- was really good however the base sauce tasted largely like butter versus what I was expecting. Started with the crisp snow pea salad which was good, but could have used a richer dressing to it. Overall a good but not overly great experience, however I'd definitely go back and next time try a full entree. read more

We came here for my Birthday and since it was a cold rainy Tuesday it wasn't packed. We chose a seat on the lounge side with live piano music. Ambient was definitely on point! We ordered a dozen oysters (mix of both from MA) and the sea bass tartare. Oysters were really fresh and briny and the tartare was light and we gobbled that up fast! Next we ordered the grilled Spanish octopus and paella. The octopus was very tender and not at all chewy or tough. We shared the paella because our server said is on the big side. Lucky she told us that because it was definitely for 2. It's loaded with mussels, clams, fish, shrimp and a small lobster tail. Delicious! A lot of time paella is on the salty side because of the salt from the seafood but this one was seasoned perfectly. We only had a cocktail each and then sparkling wine and liquor, but the cocktails we had were tasty! So it's good to even visit for an after work cocktail. We will definitely be back in the summer when it's hit dreary outside. They also have valet for those who likes door to door service. read more

For about a year now I've been wanting to go to Ostra I finally made it The atmosphere inside is so nice and calm even tho it's a busy restaurant ... It isn't packed like Ruth's Chris Ocean Prime or Mastros they give you some space in this restaurant and the hustle and bustle isn't there just a nice calm setting. We sat down right away that was no wait but we were one of the first to arrive with reservations on Valentine's Day. The table setting was so elegant but so simple as so was the decor. Service was awesome the waiter was attentive all night long and knew the menu very well when we asked questions about it as it was our first time but won't be the last we ordered Cosmopolitan's first they were good I wish they were a bit sweeter but it was strong so it did what it was supposed to do ... We ordered Unicorn oysters these were the best oysters I've had so far in my life very clean not so briny they split them on top plates without us even asking (Great) and they brought out the oyster condiments they were so tiny and cute it was just enough I also had calamari the flavor wasn't there with the calamari it needed more seasoning for me but I will say that it wasn't heavy and soaked with grease it very light ... I ordered a Salt Crusted Branzino the best fish I've ever had in my life it comes to the table with a salt crust that looks like a fish with scales then this fish cutter guy is there and cuts the fish for you on his tray pours some lemon herb sauce on it and sets it in front of you ... He didn't give the skin he told me I could have him throw it out our he could have the kitchen fry it and I could put it on the fish so I did it was a great added bonus on the dish. The side of winter vegetables were good. My friend got a fish called Turbo (from Poland) that fish was a bit heavier than the Branzino but it was still good. I also ordered a lemon Drop one of my faves that was delish. Dessert was good as well the apple crisp was light the chocolate cake I had was good just can be too much sometimes do I didn't eat all of it. I asked the waiter to pair my chocolate dessert with a wine I'm not sure of the name of it but it was a perfect match for the chocolate dessert. I ordered a ribeye steak to go accompanied with sea salt French fries to go for my son when I got home and gave it to him the fries weren't in the bag ‍ but he said that the steak was better than Ruth's Chris ( that's his fave) I don't eat meat so I couldn't tell you how it was ... Overall the experience was one of the best that I've ever had in a restaurant everyone was super helpful extremely attentive the atmosphere was awesome the decor was my style ... It was a bit on the pricey side but it's fine dining so what do you expect it was worth every penny ... I'll definitely be back ... I hope you try Ostra as well you will not be disappointed ... Enjoy read more

This place was amazing. The food was so fresh and on point. The smoked salmon cake out in a bowl and as the top lifted it smelled like a camp fire. The lobster was great. You can get all kinds of lobster in Boston, but it was really good here. Service was very slow and the wine list didn't have very many value wines. It was a great wine list with hard to get selections, but I look for the value without the ridiculous up charge. For sure this is a place to visit while in Boston. read more

Legitimately some of the best food I've had in a long time. My family held a private event here before the marathon, so we had the ability to try a number of passed hors d'oeuvres before ultimately ordering our entrees. The one big standout was the crispy maitake mushroom. I believe it was fried in tempura, could be wrong, but it was cooked so perfectly. Easily the best mushroom I have ever eaten. Amazing how something could taste so crispy yet silky, and airy, but so decadent. For entrees we ordered the salmon and monkfish. Definitely the best monkfish I have ever had. It was served in an elegant silver casserole dish, something you'd see being used at the royal wedding, and it was served atop foraged and exotic mushroom ragout with fine herbs, shallots and garlic. So deliciously mouthwatering; cooked perfectly. I'd recommend a hundred times over. read more

Loved my experience dining at Ostra this week with my Dad. My dad was visiting me in Boston and I wanted to take him out to a find dinning experience, Ostra came highly recommended from colleagues. This place did not disappoint. Everything from the decor to the wait staff was professional, elegant and welcoming. We went with h the gnocchi mixed in with chunks of lobster and drizzled with black truffle to start. Absolutely fragrant, rich, and delicious and I absolutely love the taste of black truffle to my dishes. I then went with a simple grilled branzino, portion size was just right, and the fish was cooked perfectly, flaking off each delicate piece with just my fork. I then finished my meal with the berries mixed with whipped ricotta cheese - delicious and not heavy feeling like I usually feel with other traditional desserts. Would definitely come back! read more

It was our first time at Ostra, and now we see why there are so many wonderful reviews. The service was outstanding, our servicer Christian was amazing. We did not order appetizers, since we usually do not eat a lot. The main courses were well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Dessert:The Panna cotta wasn't a favourite at all, however the Warm chocolate torte was the favorite! . We definitely will be back for more. read more

Our first visit to ostra was disappointing as well as exciting ! We were invited by friends who had been there in the past. Our server Steffanie was very nice but was extremely intrusive. Little mixup on the cocktail order. The truffle risotto portion was as big as a quarter, under the heat lamp too long and overpriced. The seafood paella was also under the heat lamp too long as all the rice had evaporated and stuck to the bottom of the dish. The branzino was excellent and we enjoyed the presentation. I'm taking into account that it was very busy and we subtlety felt to move it along so the next seatings could be taken care of . Atmosphere and decor were lovely but way too noisy. The end tab did not justify the dinner so I'll plan not to see you soon. read more

Literally, the BEST fine-dining restaurant experience of my life. Food was delicious, unique, and experiential. Service was impeccable. And ambiance was elegant. read more

We ordered a ton and shared a lot of appetizers. Sea bass tartare - probably the best tartare I've ever had. So good and memorable. Alaskan king crab - we ordered 2 orders to share among 3 people and they split it up ahead of time for us. I thought that was really nice. Sea bream - nice clean and light fish. Not overwhelmed and masked with flavors which I really liked. The sides were put on a separate plate which was also a nice touch. Oysters - a bit disappointed that they only had 3 different oysters. I always like to try a lot of different ones but the 3 they have were good. Grilled octopus - super tender and tasty. I was so full I was sad we left a bite behind. All in all, this place is good. A bit pricey but maybe worth going for a special occasion. read more

Ostra is a high end, white tablecloth seafood restaurant. One of my favorites in Boston. I ALWAYS order the Sea Bass Tartare. It's light, delicate, and loaded with flavor. It's is a MUST order on the menu - with Black Truffle Carpaccio and Fennel Pollen Crostini. For my main meal, I usually order the Salmon. The chef frequently changes its preparation, so you never get tired of it. My favorite was the szechuan version done a few years ago - no matter the preparation, I've yet to be disappointed. If you go with 2 people, order the salt crusted branzino. This is what Ostra is known for. read more

Enjoyed this restaurant. Our table had numerous apps which were all very good. The monk fish and the paella were very nice. Lot of good seafood options to choose from. read more

The best paella you could imagine! The 3 pound lobster submerged in flavor! Awesome dining experience, the ambiance accents the Boston culture of extraordinary cuisine. read more

Very nice decor... the bar at the front of the restaurant has a pianist playing music. Service is good. The appetizers are amazing... had sea bass tartar and beef carpaccio. Both were aesthetically pleasing and tastes really good. Since this is a seafood restaurant, we went with grill local fish. It's moist but was a little bland. Also had the paella; while the flavors of the sauce was fine, everything is overcooked. Their signature snow egg dessert is interesting creation; quite unique. Tastes ok. read more

I can't brag about this place enough. My bf and I stopped in while visiting Boston and among all the other restaurants we went to hands down this was my favorite! The staff were amazing. So nice and so accommodating. The restaurant was beautiful. We were in a bit of a rush and our waitress made sure we still had an amazing experience and still get out on time. The food was absolutely perfect!! I had my top five favorite restaurant that seemed like they could never be touched and this place blew them out of the water. This will be the new stop every time we visit Boston! If you are in Boston go get yourself a lobster roll for lunch but definitely stop here for dinner, you won't be disappointed. read more

Let me start off by saying that this place definitely has the sophisticated, upscale atmosphere, which is showcased in their menu offering (and price point). My fiancé and I came here for dinner and we ordered a few first courses, an entree, and a dessert. Here are my reviews on each of the food we had: 1. Grilled Spanish Octopus (first course): Nice apps, too salty in my opinion. 2. Fettuccine: If you like truffle or mushrooms in general, I'd highly recommend this one. 3. Alaskan King Crab Tortellini: A must-have! Rich, creamy sauce, not-too heavy in my opinion. The best course we ordered! 4. Fillet Branzino (not the Salted Crusted one): Fresh fish, great taste, should be the restaurant's specialty, a bit too salty and sour in my opinion though. 5. Snow Egg (dessert): delicate design, appreciate different ingredients within the plate. Giving them a 4-star because I found that most of the food was too salty for my taste. Hope it was just by chance. Other than that, I think they used a great variety of spices that were perfect for a seafood course. In terms of service, we had an instance where the server gave us a new plate yet it was still wet that we had to drain the water by ourselves before eating on it :( Totally not a big deal, but we had expected a stellar service at a restaurant like Ostra. It was a fine experience overall, but it did not extremely stood out. I would come back in the future though, hopefully with a less salty food and a better service! read more

Wonderful seafood restaurant on the edge of Back Bay. The salted branzino is finished tableside by your waiter or waitress. A completely encrusted, whole fish. After being presented to you, it is decrusted and expertly deconstructed to be served with a wonderful lemon-herb sauce. King crab legs were perfect; not a hint of the sea, with a nice bite from a dijonnaise to cut the natural, subtle sweetness that king crab is famous for. The tuna tartare ate like a ceviche, drenched in tangy yuzu citrus, but not so much that it was overwhelming. No fishy smell aftertaste, and served on ice. Desert was top-tier. The snow egg was presentationally beautiful, with an expertly crafted meringue shell around a lemon curd mousse. Raspberries, I think, could have been left out, but the basil sauce underneath gave the dish a pleasing savory aftertaste. Service was impeccable. Our waitress knew enough about the wine list to make a good recommendation based on our choice of entrees: a sancerre with a citrus twist that paired well with the citrus in the various sauces. Being that there were two of us sharing all of the dishes, our waitress had the kitchen split all the first courses into two dishes, and stagger than for an appropriate amount of time. Between courses, staff cleared our table of debris quickly and not-intrusively. Will be back to try the caviar and, specifically, the monkfish. They had a monkfish on display in the case, and I've rarely if ever seen a menu that is brave enough to serve this demon-looking fish. Something that odd-looking must taste good, no? read more

Delicious food, great service, and excellent food presentation. For me, the best seafood experience in town.

Amazingly fresh seafood. If you're looking for an ultra fancy high-end meal, Ostra will definitely deliver. (Note: be prepared to spend some $$$, probably close to $100 per person if you get all three courses and wine). Atmosphere: fancy, beautiful displays of wine and fresh fish, impressively high ceilings. Noise levels is average and good for small groups and conversation Service: amazing service, servers are definitely well-trained and very attentive. Water glasses never empty and wine glasses refilled when low. FOOD: the best part by far. First course, we got the Creamy Cauliflower Soup (incredibly rich and flavorful), the Tuna Tartare, and the Grilled Octopus (very tender). The soup was the best first course and would highly recommend if they are still offering it. Entree: we split the Paella and the Halibut. The paella had a mild spice to it and filled with shrimp, mussels, clams, lobster, chorizo, and chicken. The Halibut had a fantastic garlic mash with oyster mushroom that added a nice balance of textures. Would definitely get the Halibut, although I don't think you could actually go wrong at this place. Dessert: the hazelnut and the strawberry rhubarb, which were both very good. Overall, FANTASTIC fresh seafood with impressive service and atmosphere with a very high price tag. I would say worth it for a special occasion! read more

This place was AMAZING! Went here for a date, the atmosphere was romantic, and service staff were friendly/attentive and knowledgeable about the menu! Our waiter was so great at offering suggestions and describing the foods that we could only order an abundance of food. T We had the bronzino served table side, and it has SO much flavor! read more

Wow!!! We just happened on this place and were blown away. The hamachi was insane. My husband had a filet that was accompanied by a wild mushroom and root vegetable side that was so good I couldn't help but steal half of. Mind you, my fish dish was just as wonderful, but a girls got to do what a girls got to do. Good thing the dinner started with an amazing house made loaf of bread topped with fingerling potatoes. Because, he didn't balk at sharing his meal after downing the whole loaf. Also, our server was so sweet and attentive. We were running short in time, because we had to be at a comedy show in an hour. She made sure everything was expedited. This really may be our new favorite restaurant. I wish I could give it more stars. read more

Ostra is one part high-ceilinged art house, one part restaurant, all parts fancy. It's modern Mediterranean, so it's a hop and a skip across Spain and Italy palette-wise, with a tinge of New England seafoodie dabbled in here and there. It's uber fancy, so not quite the spot you want to go to for cozy and intimate. But the perfect spot if you want to dress to impress and throw on a suit like a boss or a hot dress like a lady bawse. Depending on what you're looking for, you're either incredibly impressed by how immaculately white space-designed this place is (and good god, their starter plates are incredibly artful and MOMA-esque), or the insanely high ceilings will be slightly domineering and give a bit of a sense that you'll be swallowed up by the air of slight bougie (but we all love a bit of bougie once in awhile, right?;). Quick breakdown of the best and not-so-much dishes: +Yellowfin Tuna Tartare - amazing starter, with a hint of Asian flavor influence - yuzu, ginger, soy, cilantro, mushrooms, sesame toast - absolute must. +Grilled Spanish Octopus - the lemon, olive oil, crispy salt capers, sweet vidalias proved to be one of the best dishes of the night, flavors so well balanced, for a moment it took me back to Spain eating a pulpo (octopus) dish every night with a caña. +Ricotta Gnocchetti - Maine Lobster + Beech Mushrooms + Shaved Black Winter Truffle = YAAS. ALL THE YAAS. +Grilled Branzino Filet - Skip this, it tasted overwhelmingly charred, and not much else. It overwhelmed the lemon, garlic and herbs, and would've been better balanced had it not tasted so dry. Overall, it was a great dinner, and service is impeccable, but not so incredible that it makes my list of absolute musts in Boston. read more

On a night rife with indecision I finally settled on seafood after passing Ostra on foot. I had initially considered going to Mistral which is still on my list, but Ostra has a slightly higher rating and was inches away. This joint is CLASSY. The gentleman next to me at the bar was talking about his buddy Chuck Schumer. There's a live piano man. As a result I almost immediately regretted entering. In my opinion the best seafood is often from a shack by the docks. I don't need a place to take my aunt. The grilled octopus was excellent - phenomenal lemony dressing. Sadly hindered by the presence of cilantro. I will holler this until the cows come home: DO NOT MAKE CILANTRO THE DEFAULT GARNISHMENT. At the very least ask me if I have the cilantro soap gene (sadly yes) and then adjust according. The salmon had the same shortcoming along with a creamy sauce and weird mini corn I wasn't personally a fan of. Look, the quality is there and matches the prices. The ambiance is what you pay for. read more

We have lived in the Boston area for 25 years and have eaten pretty much everywhere downtown but for some reason we have never been to Ostra. I will say it's probably one of the best restaurants in Boston. It's really known for its fresh seafood and they back it up. The place is very beautifully decorated and laid out well and the service is top notch. They have a team approach and everyone swarms your table but you don't notice and they have the perfect touch on everything from taking your order to delivering the food to keeping the table clean etc. The food is unbelievable and lives up to all of the exceptional reviews I've read. My wife got the prawns and they were the most tasty ones we've ever had. I got the branzino for one and it was the best prepared I've ever had, and I get it everywhere I can. As an aside they also made one of the best old fashioneds I've had in a while and I consider myself an old fashioned connoisseur. . They also had a delicious sSancerre by the glass which is hard to find at a lot of restaurants. With all of the high end decor and exceptional food and service also comes a pretty exceptional price so this isn't something you can do all the time, but if you have a special occasion coming up, a dinner event (by the way they also have a private room) etc, this is a place you cannot miss. read more

I believe this is probably one of the best restaurants in the city. With eloquence and refine decor. The staff of trained properly and they are just Devine! The food is so molecular but with a flair!! It's walking distance from my condo which makes it great... the selection of caviar, to the salt crusted fish! To the detail on desserts. Every inch of this experience was incredible! I will be returning a lot! Thank you. Best seafood restaurant in Boston. read more

No matter how hard we try to like this restaurant business, Ostra consistently underwhelm us as guests. Last night's dinner there was typical: when we arrived on time for our reservation, the hostess gave us a table that was too close to other diners, given Covid restrictions. When we raised this as an issue, she offered no apology, but rather grudgingly accommodated a change, moving us to a cramped table by the kitchen door -- which was, given its location, deafeningly loud. By the time we were seated properly on the third try, our meal improved a bit. However, the starters were largely tasteless and un- or poorly seasoned, with more emphasis on visuals than on flavor. There was a 45-minute gap -- unexplained -- between our first two courses and our entrees. While a friendly and efficient waiter tried to make the best of things, it was clear the kitchen had let him down. We ordered seafood as mains, Ostra's specialty, but it, too, was bland and overcooked. All this for an $850 dinner for two. And not a single attempt by management to make amends or otherwise acknowledge the problems we experienced on arrival. In a city brimming with restaurants both good and great, why would we ever go back? read more

This is one of the best dinners I have had. First: the place is large, modern, very high ceilings and the tables are not crowded together. The device was warm and impeccable. The wine list was long, and great, but high priced. But the main reason for the five star review was the good. Delicious. We started with two crisis from the raw bar, had two appetizers- pasta with lobster and truffles and grilled octopus. Main courses were branzini and monk fish. All were great, each dish was inventive, well cooked , and yummy. I particularly enjoyed the branzini cooked in a salt cakes. It was moist, serried with Lemmon butter, and delicate. The monkfish was flavors d as and had a good texture. Best meal in a long read more

Horribly rude disrespectful waitress with an attitude! One thing I cannot stand is anyone that instigates problems, repeatedly at the cost of other people's happiness. We came here about couple months ago. Our server was light skinned with dark hair, young, slightly higher pitched voice and not that tall. Too bad we forgot the name if she even mentioned it. On multiple occasions, she was extremely bitchy to us. We spent money generously, ordering freely but her attitude cut us off from our good vibes. We were very polite and respectful, shocked that she would passive aggressively yell like a hissing (I don't even want to disrespect any animals for this) about to jump on us by telling us off on multiple occasions "I SAID WAIT A MINUTE" and other negative remarks. We were not pushy nor rude in any way at any point. We were so shocked that we just continued to be very kind and polite, continuing our dinner without any complaint. In retrospect I should've called her out right there talked to the manager. But I did not want to ruin my company's night with any further drama than her ugliness caused. A blatant bitch(wow I rarely say this and hesitate to use this word! Makes me feel gross but it's the only accurate description.) so ugly underneath the make up she's over using could still not mask her unprofessionalism. I managed a restaurant and worked many jobs in the industry as a food runner server up to being a very kind manager. I would fire her on the spot and I have never fired anyone. Hope you did at this point! Or she needs mental help, coming from a graduate in psych and health from a top college. All the stars for the kitchen and other staff! Thanks so much for the wonderful food and what otherwise may have been a nice experience instead of meeting a shockingly rude waitress. Hope this review like the other ones written here that warns about the waitstaff at this place in sum would help to motivate Ostra's management to redirect attitudes + improve the restaurant to just decrease less bad times for everyone. read more
