    Attention to detail, the manager greeted my wife with happy birthday and remembered we always go to Ostra on special occasions. Food was top notch as well as the service. We are in the hospitality business and you can tell management/ ownership pay attention to every little detail. They care about everything. The manager was even clearing our dirty plates and always present. Ostra is by far our favorite restaurant for special occasions anywhere!!

    Beautiful restaurant. Friendly and knowledgable service. Amazing food. Wonderfully slow paced tasting menu and wine pairing made for a near perfect Christmas dinner. Overall I highly recommended for that special occasion.

    Found Estella on Open Table. The staff were friendly and efficient. We had a reservation and were seated right away. We were seated upstairs. Party of six. There is no ambience which is unfortunate because the food was very good. The only bathroom was downstairs and opened directly to the bar. I think it is a difficult space to work with. The space was plain and needs updating but the chairs were probably the most comfortable I have ever sat at in a restaurant.

    Better than the North End. We both got the Frutti de marre. Pasta and lots of fresh seafood! The chacutteri board was one of the best we have had. Wine selection great. Enjoyed a bottle of Borrolo. Making the rez was easy. We were a few minutes late and they sat us right away. Seem very organized with seating people quickly. Nice decor for Christmas. We were able to walk to the Emerson Colonial theater after dinner. It was a 3 min walk. We sat around 5 pm and had an app, dinner, and had time to spare getting to the show. Thank you Maggianos!
