Ostra Boston Reviews
Exalted Mediterranean cuisine
Great experience all along. The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed. Service was impeccable. We had seabass tartar, fried oysters, grilled Brazino, and monkfish. We tried each other dishes and one was more flavourful than the other. We missed trying t
Perfect food and service.
Perfect night. We arrived and they had a Happy Anniversary card on our table. The service was perfect. And the food was impeccable. The entire staff helped each other and we must have been told thank you for coming at least by 5 staff members.
Excellent fish!
Second time here … and certainly not disappointed. Excellent shrimp cocktail and pasta with Lobster. Super wines and great service. Worth the money …
Ostra: A Best of Boston Restaurant
Our best meal during our 3 days in Boston was at Ostra. Our server, the bartender, was delightful and made a perfect martini! The room was very comfortable and not too noisy. I loved my oysters appetizer saddle of monkfish! Our blueberry tart with

This was our second trip to Ostra and it was amazing. The food, the service, the atmosphere, everything. The cocktails were out of this world! Our waitress was very attentive, even though they were crowded on a Friday night. I mentioned early in our
Very Good Seafood
The service was great-attentive but not hovering. Food was very good. We are seafood-centric eaters, and we had plenty to choose from here. Wine list was fine-could have been more inclusive especially given the seafood focus of the menu. There wer
Very good seafood
Located at the heart of the City of Boston, Ostra offers excellent food. The service was also excellent and the menu strongly in favor of seafood.

What an amazing meal! The highlight was the salt crusted branzino which was well worth the wait and cost, but everything and everyone at Ostra was amazing. I would choose this place every time for a special night out! I hope I get the opportunity to

The food and service is okay but I am not sure if it's worth the wait and the price we paid...
Very nice
Sat at the bar and the service was great. I had a salad which was pretty and tasty. Bread was terrific. Expensive but worth it.
Memorable visit
Wonderful service, no hassle and taking the effort to make your experience truly memorable. No bone in the sea breem … taste was amazing !!!! Thanks to Denise Rodriguez dining room manager .. you and your staff were awesome.
Amazing Food & Attentive Service
Ostra is one of the best seafood restaurants I've ever been to. It's not cheap but the quality of the food and the service level completely justify the cost. Seems to be a place where diners celebrate special occasions although simply exper

Fantastic restaurant! The menu has a great variety of options, and everything we tried was fantastic. The service was friendly and quick as well. The desserts are out of this world, and the cocktails are a perfect finish to your meal.
The service was disappointing from the start.
But to make matters worse, in the end, the waiter, who wished me a happy birthday mid-meal, gave me the check, instead of my husband. He didn't even put the checkbook in the middle, just right by my side. I passed it to my husband, and the waite

Top meal in Boston during our visit.
Reservation was easy to get/modify. Ambiance was on point. Yummy drinks and food. One thing I especially like about this place is that they split the appetizer dishes into two for my husband and I...so we didn't have to cut everything in half as we s
luxurious experience but worth it for special occasions.
Ostra exudes sophistication and elegance from the moment you step through its doors. The seafood menu is outstanding, and the service is exemplary. The Grilled Sea Bream in Trevisano Leaf and the Snow Egg stand out on the menu. This dessert combines
Lovely food but disappointing serving portion size to cost ratio
I have wanted to dine at Ostra for a long time. After reading some mixed reviews, I almost cancelled my reservation. I'm glad I didn't. I found the food to be fresh, very well prepared and nicely presented. The appetizer special that was shared wa
Ambiance only
Beautiful restaurant and wonderful service - but that is all. My daughter ordered the crab legs. $58 for 3 plain boiled individual legs - it became the joke of our evening - but the joke was on us. Coming from a culinarily advanced city, i almost
Not what we expected
We expected more from Ostra. Fish was fresh but not a lot of flavor to either of the two entrees we chose. My shrimp cocktail was slightly overcooked. The carpaccio was the best dish we ordered. Other reviews mentioned cost and flavor d have to agree
Service was very efficient & dinner felt a bit rushed.
We both had fish entrees and neither was outstanding. Fish was of good quality just rather bland. Pretty room. Price was high for what we thought was an average meal.
Food is delicious, especially the raw fish.
We tried several and they were the highlights. Service is good. Ambiance is nice, a little loud. Prices are on the higher side. I ordered the branzino it was yummy but if I were to go again I would get a couple of the ceviches.
The ambiance was good, the service was middle-of-the-road
The ambiance was good, the service was middle-of-the-road for the type of restaurant it is. The food was not bad at all, but nothing impressive. Ok place to have dinner if other restaurants are full, but you can do a lot better at this pricepoint w
Disappointed.
Went there last Monday (Memorial day) . First course octopus was not tender ... Dry and tough. Sea bream was mushy ... not fresh. Wife's paella was pretty good. Guess the mistake was going on Monday holiday when fish was no doubt sitting on ice fo at
Perfect Service & Great Food

The food was quite good but unfortunately, the service was terrible. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait 20 minutes to be seated because they were "preparing the table." Once we were finally seated, no one came by to offer us water
Food, service, and ambience is excellent.
The dishes were well prepared with creativity. I had a great experience. Definitely will return when I am in Boston
Very posh place with good service, but frankly the food
Very posh place with good service, but frankly the food does not live up to the standard, or the price. Mooncusser is head and shoulders better. Expensive wine list with most choices almost double the price of comparable good wines elsewhere.
Good food but not the best value
The seafood at Ostra was well cooked and delicious but at the prices charged one would have expected exceptional food. The waiters clearly try and maximise restaurant revenue by only offering still or sparkling water unless asked otherwise. The porti
This is what good looks like!
Enjoyed a nice dinner with my wife. The menu is comprehensive, the service is incredible, and the food quality is amazing. The managers are always in the middle of the action so everyone is on his/her ‘A-Game’. We will come back soon!
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 no
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.
The service was incredible.
It was like we had one waiter assigned just to our table. He was always there when we needed him. We had the twin lobsters which we served in a hot pot. They were completely shelled so we never had to touch a cracker. The gave us two types of b

The restaurant would be five stars if it wasn't for a bit of confusion with the wait staff. There were almost too many people waiting on our table, and it cost confusion as to what we had already ordered. The restaurant was extremely modern. Everythi
Oysters - accruements were excellent.
Oysters were good but not enough brine for my taste. Caviar was good. Again, the accruments/sides were excellent. Linguini bolognese was average. Paella - fish cooked perfectly and the seasonings were spot on. However, it was a tad dry from being o

What an experience.
.. excellent service, taste, preparation and vibe! This place is a winner! Lovely wine list to boot...

It has been years since we've been here - always remember it as over the top food. Not so much last night unfortunately. Service and ambiance were great - felt like a nice fancy night out. The food was lacking. My wife had the monkfish saddle. T
Ostra has become our "special occasion" restaurant.
It feels luxurious without being stuffy. I've never had anything less than outstanding off their menu. The fried oysters with cornichon remoulade is perfectly crispy, buttery, and flavorful. There's something subtly elegant about receiving your marti
Very well cooked salmon and appetizers.
Mixed drinks were amazing but over priced. Nice atmosphere and music

Being in Boston, why not seafood? And if seafood, why not one that purports to be high end? Well, not here. There was so little to like about this place. Sorry to be so negative, but really...start with the room. It feels like the shell of what was
A step up from your Boston seafood places
Ostra is a jewel within Boston’s dining community. Impeccable service, and outstanding gourmet seafood. Flavorful dishes perfectly cooked & served!
Great!
We’ve been several times at Ostra. Never disappoints. Lobster is delicious, fish is delicious, meat dishes are equally good. Great service and impressive wine list. Very nice sea themed decor.

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Ostra Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Ostra Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Ostra Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FulfilledThread16, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FulfilledThread16 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FulfilledThread16 for any questions Peter may have as FulfilledThread16 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FulfilledThread16 now uses their connections at Ostra Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FulfilledThread16 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FulfilledThread16 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FulfilledThread16's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Ostra Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
