No place like it - upscale but comfy - you feel very well taken care of

One of my continuous go to’s for an excellent steak and service, still shined on even the busiest of nights. When there’s a show nearby this establishment can be a tough reservation to snag and perhaps moreover, a challenge for those willing to take a chance on the waitlist. In any case, Osso is on top of it !! From quiet to moderately and extraordinarily busy, the staff here is excellent at juggling the operational hurdles that occur in any stage of activity. From front of house, to wait, and runner staff, these folks know what they’ve doing and I was especially impressed with their smooth handling of tonight’s, busy environment. The kitchen was on point, as always, both consistent in delivering lovely tasting and presented food. My Caesar Salad, always a triumph here (in my humble opinion) was fresh, crisp, and expertly dressed. I order it every time. The Dry age, New York strip was prepared exactly as ordered, Medium Rare, and on a super busy night, I applaud the Chef and their fantastic folks on the line that make it all happen. Finished tonight with a simple Cheesecake and coffee. Special shoutout tonight to the Bar Staff, they were busy and every seat taken at their station, yet, I did not wait but a few minutes for my expertly prepared Vesper Martini and later, a pour of a lovely Cab 🍷 with my Steak. Quiet or Busy, Osso has been consistent with me and this is why I come back over and over, again. Everyone has an off night now and again but how it is handled, is a true test of an establishment’s mettle. I bring this up mostly to point out that the occasional hiccup that can and does arise is a test of the foundational integrity of the service industry, and Osso has it covered. Enjoy!

Absolutely amazing. Food was phenomenal, and the service was impeccable. It was A wonderful night with my business partners nothing more can be said. 99.99% perfection

Got a wonderful dinner with my parents. The service and quality of the food were astonishing. They happily accommodated my mother’s dietary restrictions (she has seafood allergies) by swapping out some dishes with vegetarian ones, and she was very impressed by them. The portions are generous but not too overwhelming. Overall very much worth the price.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and so grateful for the experience. everything was exactly how I expected from start to finish
