    Lovely experience on Christmas day! The food was tasty and fresh. We had the fried calamari, shrimp with snow peas, Mongolian beef, and szechuan string beans, all of which I can recommend. Servers were friendly and efficient. Very fair prices.

    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!!

    It was a great birthday meal in Boston. Our waitress was amazing 👏 and the food was fantastic as it always is at legal seafood. It was snowing while we were there so it added to the atmosphere of being in Boston around Christmas.

    Blu is a calm oasis I. A very busy part of town. The tables are well spaced out, the ambience and lighting just perfect for dining and the views are excellent. The food is good and somewhat conventional. But the service is really, really good. Our server, Val was knowledgeable, gentle, unobtrusive and there when we needed him. Rather old school but a rare treat compared to most restaurants in the area. Overall, we had a great experience.
