Osetra

I'll start by saying that that the service was excellent.  The staff was friendly and attentive without being obtrusive.  Other than that, there is much room for improvement.  The owner needs to decide what he wants this restaurant to be, both in terms of menu and decor.  The menu is an odd mix of Japanese, Italian, and, of course, caviar.  My dining companion and I opted to go Japanese.  The food was attractively presented. The sushi was fine, but not exceptional.  My house salad was supposed to come with ginger dressing (the main reason I ordered it) and while the dressing may have had some ginger in it, it tasted more like bottled Italian dressing. The decor is also "eclectic", which is fine, but I don't think a place that is trying to be an upscale champagne & caviar bar should have 3 tv's above the bar.

I think the prices were way out of line. For example, I ordered club soda with a splash of cranberry juice and a lime.  Since they didn't have club soda (how does a bar not have club soda???) I had to buy a large bottle of sparkling water. Ok, I don't mind buying a large bottle of sparkling water, but they charged me $3.50 for the "splash" of cranberry juice! So, even though it was happy hour, I paid $9.50 for water!

A little pricey for my taste.  For the price, you could get twice as much caviar here: <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffoodfancy.net%2Fcaviar%2Fosetra.html&s=5e3b4c4dff8863adcbe069553417d93df98105621d2c9cd4bda6193edefd69c2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://foodfancy.net/cav…</a>

Osetra- a great place to sit for St. Paddy's Day Parade! Enjoyed the people watching and excellent food. Definitely worth stopping in for great food and spirits!
