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.
