    This was my second time dining at Ostra and it will not be my last! I was with my mother to celebrate her birthday with a quick dinner before seeing a show nearby. Everyone on the staff made us feel like celebrities! The service was amazing and the food was the highlight! We enjoyed a dozen of the most delicious freshly shucked oysters I’ve ever had outside my own home. Not wanting to be too full while sitting through a show, we shared the ricotta gnocchetti first course and the grilled Faroe Islands salmon entrée. Both were delicious and the kitchen took the time to individually plate our portions. It was truly first class! They were so sweet to recognize my mother‘s birthday with a delectable scoop of vanilla ice cream and a delicious meringue hidden at the bottom. We wish we could have lingered over dinner longer, but we certainly will on our next visit! Do not miss this Boston gem with its stunning dining room and en vogue ambience.

    We went prior to show and our waiter was amazing and acknowledged that he would move things along quickly to get us there on time. We never felt rushed, he was very attentive and made sure we had all we needed at all times. Food and drinks were delicious!!
