I had a great meal at Osetra. We went for a business dinner so the hot and cold appetizer platters were probably the highlight of the meal for me with shrimp, crab legs and crab cakes. For my meal I had the scallops with polenta which supposedly included chunks of lobster, but those chunks were noticeably missing. I still give... More

A restaurant with energy, excellent food, and service: This a restaurant with an interesting design. There is seating outside and inside. Most impressive is the vertical presence with what appears to be multiple levels of seating. This is a sister restaurant with Greystone, which is also excellent. They both have comparable excellent wine lists. We foiund the hostesses to be... More

The smallest they offer is 2 pounds- ridiculously too large. I said I'd rather not have it and waiter said it wouldn't really be that big(?)!so I went for it. It was... More

I can't say enough about this restaurant, so please excuse me if I babble on for a while. We just happened to walk past the front of this place and they gave us a certificate for a free appetizer...and I am soooo glad that they did. It was one of the best meals I've had in a long time.

Went here for a business dinner while attending a conference nearby. Service was excellent. Lobster bisque was very good and the grilled mahi-mahi was delicious. The restaurant is fairly noisy. Well-situated in the gaslamp district lose to the convention center.

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel the Westin. Beyond the flying wine lady filling the wine refrigerator there was not much else to be excited for. The food was fair at best. Steak was tough and the seafood was average. The waiters were nice but a bit over the top. Prices very high. Waiters pushed the expensive options on... More
