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

šš„©Beef Wellington at Ostro š¤©itās 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! Iāve tried this dish at Gordon Ramsey Steak in Las Vegas, itās supposedly Ramseyās signature dish, so the hopes was high, but it came out disappointing, not to mention its price tagš! Ostroās 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 youāre 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 deliciousšHighly recommend trying!

š²Price $98 (Beef Wellington which feeds 2 and includes 2 sides) ā¢ entire meal was about $90/person

Came in tonight for a farewell dinner for my friend. Tried the eye fillet and the mushroom hotpot. Did not expect the mushroom hotpot to come out like it did but I guess it did taste pretty nice. The steak was cooked really well as well. Meat melted in my mouth and sauce complimented the tenderness of medium rare steak. We also ordered raw salmon and oysters for the appetisers. Salmon was delicious as always. Salmon roe and the sauce worked really well together but I was not a fan of the ginger granite. However, presentation of the dish was 10/10. We also tried out the espresso shot gingerbeer drink. Honestly thought it wasted a bit weird but it was nice to try out something new I guess.Ā
Service was amazing. Staff were patient and showed us photos of what the dishes looked like and wrote down the wifi password for us. It was an amazing evening for my friend and I.
Love the food here! Itās a fantastic view and setting for a special occasion or just summer! The service is fantastic also.
Have been there a few times, good vibes and Wellington beef. I recommend medium wellļ¼ better than medium.
Was definite a happy meal. Beef Wellington was cooked just well. It was my first time trying fresh oyster. It was fresh and creamy. The appetiser was duck, which I thought was over cooked. At the balcony, the view was fabulous.
Unfortunately they sold out Beef Wellington when we arrived. Friendly staff but slow service.
Food taste pretty good,location is easy to find.
Went here for High Tea great experience great food but little bit too sweet for me.
Apart from that everything is good, will come here for diner next time :)
Food was good and service was very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend lamb shoulder which was so tender and flavourful. The harbour view was very beautiful during the sunset time.
The food is great. Ordered the beef Wellington and tastes great. But just realized there is no special gift for birthday person. Whatās 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.
Food was absolutely amazing. However, the service was disaster.
Service: Lunch time was extremely under staffed. We kept looking for our waiter and nobody checked on us. When the desserts came and we waited for five minutes to get our cutlery.
Food: Oyster was fresh, lamb rump was just perfect(tender, juicy and flavourful), beef fillet was delicious and the chicken was tasty. Desserts do need some improvement nothing special.
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.
Lovely restaurant with great food. Best beef Wellington Iāve ever had. We went twice on a weekend and the beef Wellington was sold out and were told to call in and reserve it. Everything on the menu is fantastic though. Great view and location.
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.

We dined out at Ostro Brasserie & Bar in Britomart precinct and was instantly impressed with the service and restaurant interior as soon as we entered. From a very industrial looking entrance to the building to ascending the floors to the restaurant, it was stunning to walk into the reception area separating the mood lit bar to the right and the expansive dining area opposite.
The maitreād was a consummate professional with greeting and escorting us to our table. The wait staff were exceptional and the menu was exciting to peruse. I was impressed with the wine list the representation of NZ wines so we enjoyed an Otago Pinot Noir with Antipodes.
We started off with the seafood platter and this was amazing with banana prawns, kingfish crude, ceviche, oysters, tuna tataki and croquettes with a trio of sauces. This was the best seafood platter Iāve ever had as the flavour profiles were refreshing and exotic to enhance the seafood.
Following on, we ordered the snapper and lobster pie and this was moorish and flavoursome with chunks of lobster and fish in mornay sauce. We enjoyed the pie with Parmesan beignets and a cos hazelnut salad. The sides complemented beautifully.
For dessert we had the poached pear with chocolate mousse and a cheese platter. This was the perfect close to a wonderful dinner. Overall, our dining experience was memorable and the ambiance, service and cuisine was truly wonderful. Highly recommended with distinction!
We come here for a friends birthday as we have read from the urban list it's one of the best places for a Sunday roast dinner on Auckland.
The roast was really tasty but they don't do gravy!! Which we thought it shocking, we were given a bit of jus from the beef Wellington which was amazing but not enough to go round for a table of 24. The Yorkshire pudding was one of the best i have tasted in a long time. The service was good and the venue is amazing. We'll be back again with a much smaller crowd and try something else off the menu.
Lovely location. Great food, and even better service. We thoroughly enjoyed our Saturday Sipsters lunch here. A must-do restaurant..
Oh, and a wonderful view of the Port.
Was there for a work function. Food was amazing and our lovely Scottish waitress was so attentive. I didn't take a picture of the carpaccio but it was the star of the meal. View of the docks is quite cool. I love the space and will be back. Its a great place for drinks with friends.
