🍽️ Ostra - When a "Free Dinner" Turns into an Unforgettable Feast! 🐽

📍 Location: Back Bay, Boston (That fancy neighborhood where your wallet automatically feels lighter) How a "$200 Free Meal" Became a $540 Splurge: 💸 Thanks to my human vacuum cleaner brother – the man who looks at an appetizer portion and says "That's cute" before ordering three entrees (Worth every penny though!) 🦞 Broke my usual lobster/salt-crust fish cycle – because why play it safe when Ostra’s menu is a treasure trove of indulgence? Zero. Regrets. ✨ Must-Order Hits: The Dishes That Stole Our Hearts (And Stomach Space) 🌟 Unicorn Oysters – Tiny but explodes with ocean sweetness 🌊 (Like biting into the sea, but in a good way) 🐟 Hamachi Crudo – Citrus-kissed slices of heaven, topped with just the right amount of fancy ✨ (The kind of dish that makes you close your eyes and sigh) 🍚 Paella – Socarrat-perfect rice loaded with seafood (The crispy bottom layer alone is worth the trip) 🥩 65-Day Dry-Aged Ribeye – Like butter with a cowboy hat 🤠 (So tender you could cut it with a spoon, but with that deep, smoky char that steak dreams are made of) 🍝 Bonus Sleeper Hit: Their Lobster Tagliatelle – Because yes, I did circle back to lobster, and no, I’m not sorry. 🎩 Vibe Check: What to Expect 💼 Old money elegance – Think white tablecloths, soft lighting, and servers who somehow always refill your water glass without you noticing (But yes, UGGs are somehow still welcome – this is Boston, after all) 👯 Perfect for: Date nights where you want to impress (or be impressed) Gossipy girls' nights (Low lighting = perfect for scandalous conversations) "I survived the workweek" celebrations 🍾 💰 The Damage (And Why It’s Worth It) Let’s be real – Ostra isn’t cheap. But when the oysters taste like they were kissed by Poseidon himself, the steak melts like a Michelin-starred dream, and the paella could rival Barcelona’s best, you’ll be too busy savoring to check your bank app. Pro Tip: If you’re watching your budget, go for the bar menu – same incredible flavors, slightly friendlier prices. 📸 Insta-Worthy Moments: 📷 The seafood tower – Because if you didn’t post it, did it even happen? 🍷 Wine pairings – Their sommelier knows exactly what you need before you do 🔥 That ribeye cross-section shot – #SteakPorn at its finest #BostonFineDining #SeafoodHeaven #SteakLovers #SpecialOccasionEats #TreatYoSelf #OstraBoston #DateNightGoals #FoodieSplurge #BackBayEats #LobsterLovers #PaellaPerfection
