Came here for a birthday dinner for partner and was blown away with how amazing every dish we ordered was. We had the crayfish toasted sandwich, octopus entre, pan fried snapper and eye fillet and everything was super delicious.
Was a little disappointed with the cocktail only because it was filled to the brim which meant it spilt all over the table and a bit on my dress.
Have to say service was a let down. We were sat at one of two tables next to the kitchen and it seem that the waiter forgot about both our table and the other one. My partner sat with an empty glass for most of his main as we were unable to catch anyone's eye to order another drink. Seemed our waiter was more interested in chatting to the other tables while we didnt even have anyone ask us if our meals were fine or if we wanted more drinks.
Also when we went to pay we were informed that the whiskey my partner ordered was actually out of stock so they had just selected a different one. I didnt understand why they just selected a different cheaper one instead of coming back to my partner so he could select another.
I would give a 10/5 for the food but unfortunately average service makes me apprehensive to come back.
love the taste of beef wellington but the food come quite slow
🍞🥩Beef Wellington at Ostro 🤩it’s been on my list for a while, finally gave it a try yesterday and I was super impressed! Beef Wellington is a very technical dish to make and @ostroakl nailed it! We ordered it in medium and it came out perfect, the pastry was flaky and the meat was cooked to point. The entire dish went super well with the grilled confit baby onion and garlic that came with! I’ve tried this dish at Gordon Ramsey Steak in Las Vegas, it’s supposedly Ramsey’s signature dish, so the hopes was high, but it came out disappointing, not to mention its price tag🙄! Ostro’s Beef Wellington really exceeded my expectations. If you want some good Beef Wellington in Auckland, Ostro is the place to go! Do make a reservation and let them know that you’re ordering Beef Wellington as this dish requires prior notice and advance preparation.

Another starter dish worth mentioning from yesterday was their grilled South Island Octopus, served with potatoes, very delicious🐙Highly recommend trying!
