Ostra

Ostra serves up a variety of elegant seafood from its busy junction where the Back Bay meets the Theatre District. The superb menu has Mediterranean influences throughout, and there are many pricey options available (including caviar service and three-pound lobsters), making it ideal for celebratory business dinners and special occasions.

Oysters are a staple of the seafood menu at this Back Bay restaurant. You'll notice right away that Ostra's white-tableclothed dining area isn't exactly the spot to locate dollar oyster deals. The place to indulge on premium daily shellfish specials, including several species of your favorite briney bivalves, is however. Here, you can get oysters by the half-dozen, and they will be served with house-made horseradish cocktail sauce, sparkling mignonette, and fresh lemon. Get a plate of tartare, whether it's made of yellowfin tuna, salmon, or sea bass for additional raw entertainment.
