About the restaurant

LʼOstrica’s restaurant will feature:

  • Wednesday-Saturday tasting menus with 8-10 courses, created from seasonally available ingredients.

  • A baseline of French technique with Italian, Korean and Japanese influences, along with other cooking styles.

  • Wines by the bottle and wine pairings; and

The restaurant will have an open kitchen and both indoor and patio seating available. Reservations will be required through Tock. A few walk-in seats will be available at the bar.
