The service was great. The food was expensive for the portion size, and my partner's pasta was under cooked, which ruined the experience for us.
OsterResponded on 27 September 2024
Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed the service, but we’re sorry to hear the portion size and pasta didn’t meet your expectations. Regarding pricing, we believe our $40 Aperipasta menu, which includes pasta, wine, and dessert, offers good value. It’s worth noting that we serve pasta al dente, an Italian tradition, though we understand it may not suit all tastes. We wish you’d mentioned the issue on the night, as we could have explained or replaced the dish. We hope to welcome you back soon. Warm regards, Nick Ostēr

The other night, I had the pleasure of indulging in the tasting menu at Oster, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the amuse-bouche to the dessert it exceeded my expectations, with standouts including the pumpkin ravioli with Grana foam, Barramundi and the dry aged duck breast. Throughout the meal, the service was attentive and knowledgeable, with each course expertly paired with a selection from the restaurant's wine list. Considering the exceptional quality and quantity of the food, I was surprised by the reasonable price point. My experience at Oster was exceptional, and I would highly recommend the 6-course tasting menu to anyone seeking a truly memorable culinary experience. Will definitely be returning. Bravo chefs 👏🏻

Had an amazing dining experience at Ostēr! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. The menu offered a great selection, and the food was beautifully presented with incredible flavors. It's clear the team puts a lot of thought into every detail. Definitely a spot I’d recommend for a relaxed yet refined meal in Melbourne.

An Unforgettable Dining Adventure with a Personal Touch! Our spontaneous decision to visit this restaurant turned into one of the most delightful dining experiences we’ve ever had. We booked just minutes before arriving, and from the moment we stepped through the door, the team made us feel incredibly welcome and taken care of. Their warm hospitality made the evening feel truly special. We were served a specially made 4-course menu, and it was a culinary journey that exceeded all expectations. The highlight was the ravioli, delicately embedded in a luscious mousse cream—something I had never encountered before. The dish was an absolute triumph and quite possibly the best ravioli I’ve ever tasted. To top it all off, we had the pleasure of meeting Nic, the chef and owner, who not only shared wonderful stories but also recommended a stunning Chardonnay from Tasmania that paired beautifully with our meal. This personal connection made our evening even more memorable, leaving us with a genuine sense of warmth and gratitude. Thank you for the exceptional food to the extraordinary hospitality, Oster has mastered the art of creating an unforgettable dining experience. We can’t wait to return – Mille grazie e ciao!
