    Service was okay. Noted it was for our anniversary but there was no acknowledgement, while the table next to us received something for a birthday.

    Ostra had delicious food and amazing cocktails. The waiters were so nice and provided us their favorite recommendations, which didn’t disappoint. The Mahi Mahi curry was so good… daydreaming about it now.

    Ceaser salad was drenched in dressing and not very good; the rest of the food was good. Drinks here are overrated...we also visited earlier in the week. Weak pours for the price. Vibe is cool. Chao Pescao is by far the best restaurant on the property!!

    Beautiful place with amazing peninsula view with nature reserve right behind and on the sides. We saw Monkeys in the trees near us and to booth amazing drinks and food. Everyone on the property is so friendly and chef came and talked to us for a little bit as did all the managers to make sure we were doing Great. I would highly recommend for those foodies like us that want an adventure.

    We were soured by our overall dining experience when we were told that our dessert that my pregnant wife really wanted could not be served without the alcoholic sake drink poured over top. Ok..a bit odd so I asked if I could order the other dessert with a side of the sorbet that’s included on the one alcoholic dessert we could not share together. “No sorry that can’t be added to yours” was her reply. After just paying $350 for two people I was very put off by that situation.

    Ostra is a special place, delicious food, fabulous service! We had breakfast, lunch and dinner here! Our favorites were the gluten free waffles with guava syrup, the greek salad and all the seafood dishes we ate! We really enjoyed the service of Edgar and Bridget so much. Everyone else was fabulous too but we didn't get everyone's names. Can't wait to return someday!
