My wife thought this would be a nice place for dinner. The front staff could have been a bit more welcoming. Our waiter was good but, seemed a little apathetic . The food a little salty for my taste. For the price I excepted a little more wow factor .

Faced a phalanx of staff upon entry -- almost too many. Multiple offers to take our coat, but it was so chilly right in the entry after coming in from the cold that we were afraid to part with them. Yes, food was good, but not sure the overall experience was worth the amount spent.

Great food...great service...great atmosphere...total rip off of same quality items served at other upscale seafood places and not upscale places. Keeps the theme of the new overly gentrified era of a once great city in Boston, but pay more for the location, zip code, and fancy name trendy name. If you are not a trust fund baby, pro athlete or wealthy business person/corporate hack we will squeeze that last penny out of you.lol.smh (50 dollar salmon...stop...please.lol)

Ate here again, 7 years later. What an Excellent dinner. Not cheap by any means, but service was top notch and the food/wine/cocktails were all delicious. I would not be surprised if this place is handed a Michelin star in the future. Go here for a special occasion - you will not be disappointed.

Very good food and the staff is friendly. The steak I had was great and the special scallop dish was good too. The paella's was good and had everything that a good paella should have but just a little salty.
I think I set my expectations too high and possibly the restaurant had an off day. Old fashion lacked an orange peel and served in martini glass, odd. Monkfish dinner was good, needed more seasoning in my opinion. Felt "chic", not what I was looking for.

Our meal, from app to desert was outstanding. We started with the cheese board, then grilled octopus. We bath had the halibut dinner special as our main entree. The chocolate tort was exceptional. Service was excellent. We will return to dine here again.

Truely amazing! Monkfish was a spiritual experience–I didn't know food could taste this devine—comes with cannellini beans, and I fortunately had a veg side of mostly cauliflower, which was also a perfect match. Blonde Oysters are amoung the best I've had. Tuna Tartare delicate and delightful. Only three reserve wines available by Coravin system at time of dining, the Burgundy was a special journey of aromas and flavours. Mostly excellent personable service.

Simply the best seafood in the North East. Great presentation, consistently high quality, great flavors. The ambience is chic and it's always hopping. Service is friendly and helpful. The prices are very high but you get what you pay for.

Had dinner on Wednesday night at Ostra. Everything was good until we ordered the cornish hen which was shockingly bad. It was like deep fried cardboard. Didn't eat one bite of it. Took it home for the dog. Dog sniffed it, licked it and then walked away....and this is a dog that ate a dead sparrow it found on Commonwealth Avenue. If Mistral can do a good cornish hen, why can't you guys? It was over fried, tasteless, no sauce or gravy, chopped up into four pieces and splayed out onto mashed potatoes. We love this restaurant . Please do something about this.
