   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.

   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.

    I had high hopes for Osteria, but unfortunately, my experience fell short. One of their main dishes was unavailable, which was disappointing right from the start. I opted for a pasta dish instead, but the portion was surprisingly small and lacked the depth of flavor I expected. For the price, I was hoping for something more satisfying. The ambiance was pleasant, and the service was fine, but the food—arguably the most important part—didn’t live up to expectations. I might give it another try in the future, but for now, I can’t say it’s a place I’d rush back to.
