Our dinner at Ostra was sensational. It was slightly difficult to locate their entrance, but once inside we were warmly greeted by the host and a elegant aesthetic. For our appetizers, we ordered fried calamari, truffle fries, and sweet corn (which was exceptionally delicious). Our main entrees consisted of the Salt Crusted Branzino and Roasted Cornish Game Hens, both were fantastic but the Branzino was most impressive. Perhaps the most impactful experience of the night was our desert, the "Snow Egg"; I struggle to find words that best describe this dish, but it was textured, flavorful, and quite unique. Overall, our meal and experience was worth every penny. Give this place a Michelin Star ⭐

The BEST SERVICE EVER! It was such an amazing experience. The food was really a beautiful tasting journey and the service was incredible. So many servers, very friendly, passionate about the menu. We learned about the history of the restaurant. We had raw fish, lobster pasta and paella and finished with lava cake! Wow!!! We will be back!!! The most interesting part of the night was watching the chef who made certain that every dish was perfect’ And it really was!!!!!

What a meal! While in town for a brief weekend, I looked on Open Table for a seafood restaurant with available times. This place did not disappoint. There was not a single wrong note, each plate and bite only building upon the last. The plates are simple and clean, but the flavors are outstanding. This is one not to miss while in the city.

I wish I could give Ostra 5 ⭐️ for food. Everything tasted great, the entrees are very good, the paella’s fantastic but the crudos/tartars and the 1st course portions are so small you can barely share them for a table of 2 and it’s a bit over priced. We started with the Tuna Tartar, salmon tartar and snow pea salad. Very tasty but barely big enough to share. For 30$ there should be enough to share 2-3 people. For entrees we tried the grilled sea bream, paella and prime sirloin. All very good We finished with the blueberry tart. Again very tasty but barely big enough for 2 people to share.
