    This is our second Valentine's Day and Ostra and again they knocked it out of the park. My significant other left very happy. Service was classic Ostra, professional, friendly and attentive. The food is simply fantastic, elegant, fresh, expertly prepared and presented. They even asked if we had plans for after dinner, which we did, to ensure we'd be served without creating a time problem. Ostra is, hands down, our favorite Boston restaurant, and given how much we travel, it's honestly one of the best places we've been to in all of our travels.
