As
much
as
Boston
has
this
image
of
"lobstah
rolls"
and
"clam
chowdah",
Ostra
opens
your
eyes
and
serves
you
(on
a
beautiful
platter)
what
can
be
achieved
in
terms
fine
dinning
in
a
seafood
city.
From
the
raw
food
selections
to
the
chef's
composition,
the
food
is
of
amazing
quality.
So
much
so
that
the
restaurant
offers
a
gratitude
section
to
the
fishermen
that
help
them
in
serving
these
quality
ingredients.
And
all
of
this
is
complemented
by
staff
that
are
highly
attentive
and
friendly
(shout-out
to
Katherin).
Look,
the
food
is
amazing.
You
could
pin
the
menu
to
a
wall
and
throw
a
dart
at
it,
order
whatever
it
lands
on,
and
you'll
be
stuffing
your
cheeks.
However,
if
you'd
like
recommendations,
let
me
start
off
by
saying
that
if
you
do
not
order
the
Salt
Crusted
Branzino,
you
have
wasted
your
time.
This
fish
is
cooked
in
a
bed
of
salted
crust
that
makes
it
sweat
so
that
when
it's
served
on
a
beautiful
food
runner
table,
you
can
watch
the
staff
break
it
open
like
a
coffin
housing
a
mummy.
What
your
left
with
is
a
fish
whose
flavors
were
not
allowed
to
escape
but
rather
collect
and
served
with
this
amazing
lemon
and
olive
oil
mixture
that
will
allow
you
to
speak
to
your
ancestors.
This
thing
is
phenomenal
and
transcending.
The
second
one
I
recommend
is
the
Paella.
Boston
has
some
really
good
Spanish
restaurants,
but
Ostra,
whose
focus
is
not
Spanish
food,
offers
one
of
the
best
paellas
in
the
city.
When
I
got
the
dish,
I
made
sure
to
return
a
CLEAN
pan
because
every
grain
of
rice
was
gold.
Not
to
mention
that
the
seafood
that
comes
with
it
is
generous.
Lastly
-
that
Ricotta
Gnocchetti
you're
considering?
Yeah.
Get
that
too.
After
you
eat
what's
in
that
plate,
ask
for
a
straw
and
have
the
remaining
delicious
cream.
Don't
forget,
Ostra
is
fine
dinning.
It's
a
place
that
has
decorative
dishes
in
place
just
to
take
them
away
as
soon
as
they
bring
the
complimentary
bread
(that
thing
is
also
ungodly
delicious).
The
prices
are
high.
But
it's
worth
it.
Treat
yourself
and
celebrate
whatever
you
have
at
this
amazing
restaurant.
