Ostro

Good spot, great food and service. Our waitress was excellent , attentive and very helpful with our food choices. We arrived rather early & was prepared to have a drink in the bar but it wasn't a problem & we were offered our table immediately with a view of the Harbour. Lovely evening & definitely going back.

Everything was perfect. I have never been to Ostro before and that was my first time there, I invited a friend as well. We came for the beef Wellington and it did not disappoint us ! (in fact, we were extremely fascinated by many other elements about this place). Perfectly cooked and marinated medium rare beef that melts in your mouth with a layer of pate and the crispy puff pastry wrapped around. It’s literally heaven. If you haven’t tried out the beef Wellington in Ostro yet, you definitely should. Other dishes were also very nice, I did not have time to take pictures of them because I didn’t want to let my friend wait for too long. To be honest, this is one of very few places I have been to in Auckland that can accomplish all these three things: ambience, food, and customer service. It has a breathtaking view with chilling, romantic music that will satisfy anyone you’re inviting here. Elegant atmosphere and layout. Food is excellent, nothing to complain about. Moreover, the customer service is just on point. They’re very polite, they’re friendly and thoughtful. To the French guy who worked in Ostro Bar that day: Thank you, you made our experience there perfectly outstanding ! I feel happy that I took my friend to this place. Keep it up Ostro Brasserie & Bar. Will be coming back here for sure. My tummy already misses the food from them :)

The food is great. Ordered the beef Wellington and tastes great. But just realized there is no special gift for birthday person. What’s more, if you bring your own cake, there will be extra $5 charge for each person at your table. The waiting time today around 50 minutes ( we have already pre-order online though ) ,it is quite a long waiting for my husband but it is acceptable for me.

Went here for family lunch on daughter birthday. Very impressive. Started with the seafood platter and lobster toast yummy. Lobster toast is a must try. Then shared Beef Wellington and lamb roster both first class. Lamb falling off the bone. Sides veg and chips all good. Staff were attentative and most helpful. Really nice outlook just a shame the container wharf is here but would highly recommend Ostro to all. Is expensive but I thought well worth the experience.

On a Saturday afternoon around 3pm we wandered for lunch into Ostro. This place has a great view of the Waitemata harbour and you have the option to sit inside or the outside depending on weather. Great ambience and sitting space. Menu had one main option for vegetarians only. We had hot pot mushrooms and pan sheared snapper plus fries on the side. For a fine dinning restaurant the food was average, customer service was not as expected but the servers were polite. Cocktail was great along with the tap beer. Definitely a place to visit with friends for a drink and to soak in the harbour views.
