Restaurant

Ostra

Ostra is one of the best seafood restaurants in Boston for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Beacon Hill.

Ostra sits in Beacon Hill as one of Boston's more serious fine-dining seafood rooms, though it's worth noting the original restaurant built its reputation in Back Bay — the Beacon Hill positioning is how it presents now, and the distinction matters less than what the kitchen is doing.
