“Amazing Italian dishes.Its rare to find authentic dishes in restaurants these days. The pasta tossed your way- penne in meat sauce and sausage is delicious. And the trio 4 way was portioned large enough to split with the pasta tossed your way to try a little of everything. Great Italian dishes.
Refreshing drinks too. Friendly service“

“Words don’t accurately describe the best chowder I’ve ever had. And doing so in a cozy dockside spot by a window overlooking a snowy bay and pier. You’ll have to experience it yourself, and do so frequently!“

“Ostra is one of those restaurants that immediately feels like an occasion the moment you walk in. The dining room is polished and elegant without feeling stiff, with warm lighting, crisp white tablecloths, and a refined atmosphere that makes it feel equally suited for a date night, celebration, or pre-theater dinner. The space has a timeless quality to it, balancing classic fine dining with a modern seafood-focused menu, and there is an energy throughout the room that feels lively while still maintaining a sense of intimacy.
Seafood is clearly the focus here, and the menu is built around pristine ingredients prepared with restraint and precision. The tuna tartare is a great example of that approach, highlighting the freshness of the fish rather than overwhelming it with heavy flavors. Oysters are another natural starting point, especially given the restaurant's reputation for sourcing high-quality shellfish. From there, larger seafood dishes like the grilled Spanish octopus, paella, monkfish, and the signature salt-crusted branzino showcase the kitchen's ability to handle both delicate preparations and more dramatic presentations. The menu leans Mediterranean in spirit, with an emphasis on letting the seafood remain the centerpiece of every dish.
Service feels polished in the way you would expect from a restaurant at this level. Courses arrive at a comfortable pace, staff are knowledgeable about the menu, and there is a noticeable attention to detail throughout the meal. Whether celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying dinner in the city, the experience feels thoughtfully executed from beginning to end.
What makes Ostra memorable is how effortlessly it delivers the type of seafood dining experience many restaurants aim for. The elegant setting, carefully prepared seafood, and attentive hospitality all work together to create a meal that feels elevated without becoming overly formal. It is the kind of place that reminds you why classic seafood restaurants continue to endure, offering a dining experience that feels both timeless and distinctly Boston.“

“Cozy spot and can have a long wait time, but it’s well worth it. Miso butter cod was one of the best things I’ve had in the city. Service was good, waiter explained everything and answered any questions we had. Definitely a spot I would return to Boston for.“

“We had an incredible experience at Grill 23 & Bar — easily the best steakhouse we’ve been to in Boston. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was phenomenal. We ordered both the filet mignon and the ribeye, and each steak was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and truly outstanding. The sides were just as memorable — the macaroni and cheese was rich and comforting, the Brussels sprouts were perfectly prepared, and the mashed potatoes were smooth and delicious. Adding the Béarnaise sauce on the side was absolutely worth it and paired beautifully with the steaks. Dessert was the perfect ending: warm chocolate chip cookies served with vanilla ice cream — simple, classic, and done flawlessly. A huge highlight of the evening was our waiter, Bernardo. We will absolutely be requesting him on future visits. He offered thoughtful suggestions, anticipated our needs effortlessly, and somehow managed to be there exactly when we needed him — and never when we didn’t, if that makes sense. Just genuinely attentive, professional, and welcoming service that elevated the entire experience. An unforgettable dinner all around. We can’t wait to come back.“

“Amazing dining experience! The lamb chops were perfectly cooked—tender, flavorful, and definitely one of the best dishes on the menu.
The restaurant’s location near the harbor offers a great waterfront view, creating a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. On top of that, the service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish.
Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food with beautiful harbor views. I will definitely be back!“

“Outdoor dining at its best. Fun casual spot near the harbor where you order at a trailer and wait to hear your name called. Reasonably priced lobster roll and tasty sides. A great option for people trying to see the downtown area who don't want to wait two hours for a table at a sit-down restaurant. I will definitely hit this spot on my next trip to Boston.“

“By far the best, authentic Italian food in the North End. We have dined at several restaurants but the service, ambience and food is the best! They make their own pasta and sauces daily. I cannot recommend Casarecce enough. Delicioso.“

Every aspect of the meal, from the creative drinks to the delicious appetizers to the fantastic main course was outstanding. Our server, Alex, was attentive and very pleasant. And last, but certainly not least, the beignets after dinner were spectacular. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“May 2026
I was anticipating an amazing wagyu beef burger given the $35 price tag, but it was very ordinary and forgettable. It was cooked well-done even though I asked for medium-well, and it had absolutely no flavor, not even a hint of salt and pepper. The fries were dry and not very good either. But the corn bread was absolutely delightful and probably some of the best I’ve ever had, and the pita bread with hummus and pimento cheese was delicious, as well. Overall, about 4 stars considering the appetizers saved the day, as the wagyu burger was a flop.“

He was prompt but we never felt rushed. the food was excellent, the Lobster cones are a great new item. we also had the classic mussels. The grilled salmon was delicious. Russ was leading his team through a busy shift but was able to make time to ensure everything was just right. The best in the Seaport.“

“Had an amazing meal at Cajun Corner. The seafood boil was excellent — the shrimp were flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the crab was fresh and delicious. The chicken wings were crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and overall excellent. The Cajun fried rice was packed with flavor and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The fried oysters were also excellent, crispy and cooked just right. Great food all around and definitely a spot worth coming back to.“
