Umm... where do I start my husband and I were so excited about trying to this place because it was attached to our hotel, but I definitely feel like we could found a way better place on the riverwalk. This space is way overrated for sure. I had the ceasar salad to start with and I was not impressed with the flavor of the dressing and I'm a ceasar salad fanatic. And my fish entrée did not have any flavor whatsoever. My husband said his chicken was just ok. So if you are looking for good food this is not the spot and not too mention it is very pricey. I would not go back or recommend to anyone.

We were here July 9th weekend and I have to say after 1 meal here, we ate here exclusively all weekend!!!
First shout out is to Julie who was at the bar shucking oysters... This woman needs a raise and should be out in front of customers all the time! She made both our weekends with great conversations, service and food! I am pregnant and she designed a seafood platter catered to my needs!!!! She was the #1 reason we returned as much as we did!!! I can't wait to go back and see her again in Sept.!!!!
Andy, the manager, was amazing as well! He approved all substitutions for me and even listened to my thoughts and ideas on how to make a mommy-to-be spa weekend even better at Mokara Spa! "Mokara-Mommy-Mocktails" should become a thing!!!
Jon , the executive sous chef, was awesome in preparing our food all weekend and even came out to see if we liked our meals. They met any special requests I had which made me feel amazing!!!
On to the food!
My first taste was a baby-moon chocolate mousse that was delivered to our room.... I loved it so much I ended up ordering more the next few nights!
The wedge salad was so fresh and delicious and was the first of my orders at Ostra with special requests that kept me coming back all weekend!
For breakfast on my mommy-to-be spa day, I had a fruit bowl, which was huge, yogurt and some toast!
For lunch, my husband and I ate a chicken caesar salad with extra croutons, a shrimp cocktail and the fish and chips basket! Again, my special requests for my salad were met no problem!!!
I had a five-layer chocolate torte cake for a mid afternoon snack and the slice was huge, rich and very decadent!
We had some of the cevieche and Julie even added avocado to the mix!!!
The seafood platter is a must try! Since I cannot have raw oysters, Julie customized our platter with a few oysters for my husband to enjoy and more items that I could have while pregnant.... I was so touched by this because they really care about their customers!!! I ate so much shrimp and crab claws and I have to say this is the best I ever had and I live on the gulf!!!!
My husband enjoyed some bacon roasted brussel sprouts which smelled amazing!
For breakfast on the final day, I had theSour Cream Blueberry Pancakes and whoa..... absoluetly delicious!!! I even got extra custard! My hubby had the Malted Vanilla Waffle and blueberry sage sausage, we have never eaten so many delicious items at 1 restuarant!!!
I hope the owners see this post as again, I have to promote and praise Julie on her amazing customer service. As an HR professional, she has the culture, passion and drive to make that restuarant succeed!
I also have to praise Andy and Jon one more time as well, this staff combo, really know how to make the meal, day or weekend of their customers!!!
I am sending my company's sales reps here next week on their trip!
MUST PAY OSTRA A VISIT!!!!
Much love for the staff!

Nice location, quality food, good drinks and best of all, its not a tourist trap. Was tired of seeing bad food with high reviews.
Overall it was a nice experience but nothing memorable. Probably one of maybe 2 best options on the strip.
The price was about 15-18% above its worth in my opinion but the real estate likely commands it.
Carpaccio was amazing and we shared the steak and lobster plate which was nicely presented for us on separate dishes. We also ordered a side of mushrooms.

Basic hotel bar. The service was a horror. Bartender never came back to see if we needed refills. The water was horrid. Needs to be filtered. Wanted to order dinner but they got our appetizers wrong, so we didn’t stay. They didn’t even come get out credit card that we tried to give the bartender 3 times. Finally we got her attention. We have no desire to ever come back.

We came for Valentine's Day so they had a select menu, I was disappointed that there was no lobster on the menu. Nicholas the waiter did a great job. The food that I did order was delicious. The paloma drink was missing something it was not the best. The streak was nice and juicy per my husband and my pasta shrimp dish was flavorful. But the oysters are the best. I just had 3 to test try and I loved them.

Great experience! Start with the tuna tacos. The scallops or steak are total winners! Absolutely amazing food and Nicholas is amazing! We are so picky, but he made the night perfect!! Amazing food and great service! Don't pass this place up!

My Family and I went here to have a New Year’s dinner.The Food was well presented and also tasted amazing.However the Service was ok. First of all, after eating the entrees we waited for our desserts, then we see the plates brought to us with the wrong dessert.Adding to what just happened he brought it in a hurry and without saying a single thing. My mom was going to ask why he did not bring the correct desserts, but he was at the table beside us, having a conversation. and then ignores my mom and leaves.In my opinion that is very lazy for a waiter to do. We payed $700 total for this dinner and I do not recommend coming here during New Year’s Eve.

Dined here 8/22/21 for lunch. It was a quiet Sunday morning and we were seated immediately. *No brunch currently offered and breakfast ends at 10:00* Staff was courteous and gave us a choice of inside or outside dining. We chose inside to escape the heat and were given a lovely table by the window with a River Walk view. Restaurant was immaculate. Table linens were fresh and crisp. Our waiter was professional and took our order correctly. Food did not take long to prepare and was tasty. Highly recommend!
