OSTRA OYSTER BAR REVIEWS
Super poor-quality products and really bad service. They never tell the
real country where their products are coming from. In fact, their seafood
products come from Vietnam. The employees are very very rude-have no educated at all.
They do not know how to solve their problems. I do not recommend their products to anyone.
We ordered sparkling wine and were served with half
volume and flat one. It was worse when the wine was not even cold.
The waitress was polite in telling us that the restaurant served that half volume.
The oysters that cost US$5 each did not taste any special.
It looked very popular among the locals. A local
customer even had her poodle sitting on a chair next to her and then onto her table.
Ostra Eden has the worst services among all the other restaurants that
I have entered. You should train all the service Staffs of how to treat all the customers fairly no
matter who they are, becus they come here to be served not to beg food from you.
Terrible delivery service
