    Our server Kevin was FANTASTIC. He was incredibly passionate about the menu and the drinks. He tried to make us happy and the dinner was so special, as we were celebrating my friend's 50th birthday. The other touches like the birthday menu and the birthday card from the restaurant really helped as well. Thank you so much for a great experience!

    This was our first visit at Ostra. We celebrated our niece's birthday. Thank you for the lovely touch of placing a hand written birthday wish on the table. Our server Christopher and his colleagues were wonderfully attentive but also allowed us to pace through our dinner in a relaxed manner. We enjoyed the gnocci with lobster. The arugula salad (a special last night). We enjoyed the monkfish entree and also enjoyed the oven roasted branzino. We also ordered the shishito peppers and the delicious side of mushrooms. We ordered a chocolate torte in advance of the meal as a mini birthday cake. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    We came for dinner and they had live music. The staff was so wonderful! We were running late from traffic and the hostess was so kind to us and assured me they’d hold our reservation. The food and drinks were quick and delicious. We’ll be back thank you!

    Had a lovely meal and experience last night at The Hourly. Tasty oysters, creamy rich lobster bisque, wonderful brussels, etc. And the prices aren't terrible for Cambridge. We've recommended to others.
