One of the best overall meals and experiences. The service is top shelf! They know how to create a memorable dinner. Topped off our vacation week. Can't wait to come back.
It was a fantastic dinner. The restaurant is beautiful, the wait staff amazing and the salt crusted branzino was to die for. It was truely amazing.
Wow!!! We had the most amazing dinner at Ostra last night and I can't say enough about how wonderful everything was. We tried the crudo, yellow fin tuna, grilled octopus, sea bream and branzino along with delicious white wine. Everything was cooked and prepared to perfection and our server was attentive and delightful. We would absolutely love to return.

Ostra is an acclaimed restaurant in Boston known for its exceptional seafood dishes and refined atmosphere. The restaurant's high ceilings, clean lines, and thoughtful table arrangement create a sophisticated dining experience. Reservations are recommended due to the establishment's popularity.
The menu offers a variety of delectable options, including the acclaimed monkfish, octopus, and branzino, all expertly prepared. The seafood paella is also a signature dish, alongside customer favorites like the tartares, sirloin crudo, and the lemon snow egg dessert featuring lemon custard and meringue. The sorbets, particularly the coconut/yuzu flavor, are a delightful treat.
Ostra boasts an impressive wine selection, including a Malbec by the glass from a vineyard known to the owners. The service is generally friendly and helpful, although some diners have noted that the waitstaff can become overwhelmed during busy periods.
The restaurant can accommodate guests with dietary restrictions, providing detailed explanations, though catering to certain children's preferences may be challenging. Parking can be inconvenient, but a large multi-level garage in the adjacent building offers both self-parking and valet options. However, it is not recommended for young children to cross the busy intersection alone.
