"Ostra, the fine dining seafood restaurant that the Boston Globe once dubbed “Boston’s answer to Le Bernardin” is the place to go for well-executed, luxurious treatments of fish, from the whole salt-crusted branzino to the grilled Spanish octopus." - Celina Colby

"The fact that the menu at Ostra in Back Bay has a section dedicated to caviar should give you a hint as to what type of place this is. You’re not going to get out of here without your wallet losing a little weight, but if you have a corporate card at your disposal or a Brewster’s Millions situation going on, you can enjoy a high-end Mediterranean seafood meal at this white tablecloth spot near Park Square. Start with the king crab risotto." - Dan Secatore
Jamie Mammano’s polished seafood temple leans Mediterranean while championing pristine local product, a combination Boston critics often flag as star-ready. Its elegant dining room and dialed-in service show the city’s refined side without losing its regional roots.
