Taste: Interior Deco: Customer service: Recommend: Came here for a 21st, unfortunately the beef Wellington is sold out. The octopus, seafood platter, corn and cream brle was amazing but the $100 rare sow fish didnt taste special. The staffs were super patient and friendly! Very nice sea views despite it already quite late!
This review is for their high-tea only. Came here for high-tea with a group of friends. It is all you can eat and you can keep refilling the trays when you need more food. Love the freshly made sandwiches and a colourful palette of delicious treats. The High Tea with three tiers of treats is available for $55 per person and can be accompanied with a glass of champagne to toast the occasion (for an additional price).
It is rare to go out fine dining for me now, but this experience was well worth it. With views over looking the Port and you get the beautiful sea breeze.Pan seared salmon – (9/10, $38) -The fish was cooked so well, crispy skin on the outside and flakey and tender on the outside. The caviar sauce was creamy and delish but just wished there was slightly more.Seafood platter -(7/10, $59) -The presentation was pretty like a present, the battered oysters were so fresh and crispy. The ceviche was okay, I’m not a fan of ceviche in general. The seared tuna was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Overall I’m not a huge fan of raw seafood unless it’s salmon.Parmesan beignets – (8.5/10, $9) -These were super light and delightful. The exterior was crisp but with a soft gooey center. Perhaps a bit more parmesan is needed, it was more of a potato croquette for me.Sourdough with seaweed butter -(9.5/10)- The bread was fresh and warm from the oven, amazing soft inside holding it’s integrity with it’s thin crisp exterior. The star of the dish was the seaweed butter, it just melted away as you spread it on the sourdough. The seaweed flavours were strong which I loved.
One of my favorite restaurants to come chill. The service is exceptional staff are always kind and sociable. The drinks are great and the view is beautiful. The atmosphere is relaxing. The food is great! Brandy snaps were delicious! Would recommend anyone to come to ostro.
Great atmosphere, amazing location ( wharf on one side and the Britomart on the other), friendly and helpful staff, great weather to spend a Friday afternoon and let’s not forget the most important..the FOOD…Oh my lord the food is just addictive.The octopus or the ceviche as starters and the pork chop or the lobster pie as mains, finalising with a panacotta or a meringue as a dessert are the ones I strongly recommend.One of the best restaurants in Auckland (not afraid to say it) and extremely recommended.Too bad I don’t have more stars to give.
+10 for the view, -6 for the serviceOk so the MOST annoying thing is that you need to pre-order their high tea, but they dont pick up the damn phone. MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT The major selling point is the view – which is killer! Didnt appreciate the supercilious attitude of the guy who welcomed me – really put me off. Ordered Parmesan beignets and a flat white. The beignets are quite yum with chipotle mayo – all gooey and cheesy. But I think they need to work on adding some flavour – maybe herbs or a less cloying sauce. The coffee is over-steamed creating a lumpy foam instead of something light and frothy. Regardless- will be back for the mushroom gnocchi.
