    I’m a regular. This was a special event. If you ever see them advertising for a special event, go. The planning and intelligence that went into this evening is unmatched in this part of the world.

    Another terrific experience at The Ostrich Club! The care and attention given by Alana and Lindsay is always top shelf! Two people at our table were dining here for the first time and were thrilled with the thoughtfully curated wines and food menu. Talked about the evening and how much we enjoyed it on our drive home, thank you again for your hospitality!
