    I rarely write reviews and especially not bad reviews but I we had an extremely disappointing experience at The Ostrich Club. The two small plates that we had were terrible. The Endive salad was just greens with an overly acidic dressing and the mushroom parfait was honestly gross. The smell and texture were similar to cat food. I have never had to ask for something to be taken away from my table because of the smell. The cocktails were essentially served in shot glasses, were over priced, and tasted like juice. And unfortunately there was a fruit fly infestation that just icked us out. One landed in my $20 5 ounce pour of wine when half the glass was left. I pointed it out to the server and she replaced it with literally a splash of wine. It just felt so cheap and combative. The server was clearly emotional and offended that we weren’t having a good experience. If a restaurant is going to charge high prices, expectations of guests are going to be higher…but honestly I would have been put off by this place if they were giving the food and drinks away for free. This place was an extremely overpriced disappointment. We spent over $100 in less than an hour for an experience that honestly grossed us out.

    First time at OSTRICH. Will go again for sure. Surprised at the quality (surprised win a good way). Great service: attentive not fawning.

    We had a fantastic meal at The Ostrich Club. The cocktails are fun (with an ever changing themed menu), the food devine and the service excellent. A real gem, I would highly recommend.

    The restaurant was generally fine, but the server significantly emphasized the fact that the table reservation was ending soon, even stating “okay I could rush your dessert if you would like since you only have 12 minutes left at this table.” We felt this was quite inappropriate and could have been stated more politely. This is ufortunate considering that we were looking forward to our visit to Ostrich Club as it was a graduation celebration. Will likely be booking elsewhere for celebrations in the future.
