Boston Seafood Splurge 🐟 | Ostra Review

Tried Ostra—the upscale seafood sibling of Mistral/Mooo—and here’s the honest take: solid, safe, but not soul-stirring. 🦪 THE GOOD 🌟 Scallops: Seared perfection + brown butter glaze 🌟 Lobster Risotto: Creamy but not heavy (truffle shavings ✨) 🍷 Wine Pairings: Sommelier picks = flawless 🍨 THE MEH ❌ Desserts: Cloyingly sweet (skip the gritty pistachio ice cream) 🔊 Noise Level: Shouting-across-table loud (romance? Nope.) 💡 PRO TIPS • Order: Chef’s seafood tower for Instagram glory 📸 • Skip: Pre-fixe menu (à la carte > rushed courses) • Parking: Valet only ($25) → Uber instead 🚗 Final Verdict: 7.5/10—Worth one visit... then back to Neptune Oyster. 🏠 Ostra 📍 1 Charles St S, Boston #BostonSeafood #OstraBoston #FineDining #SpecialOccasion #BostonEats #OverpricedButGood #DateNightFail
