    Excellent service, waitress and food. Lovely atmosphere however we found the choice of music - rap on repeat- to be a bit loud and not the best choice for background music. It did change after about 11/2 hours to something more subtle. Loved the bathroom decor - floor tiles were delightful! and cleanliness excellent.

    The mushroom dumplings were incredible. A must! The oysters were nice and fresh and the tuna dish was excellent. Great service. The only downside was we were seated at a table right next to the kitchen door. You could hear and see the kitchen staff throughout. Overall, highly recommend and we will be back again soon.

    I came to the Ostrich Club for dinner for the first time last week and it was so delicious we came back the following weekend! They have a great variety of small plates to share and the flavours are so incredible. Similar food and vibe to Bar Kismet which is another one of my favourites. The servers are great - they know their menu very well and have excellent recommendations. Can't wait to go back again!

    Food was delicious!! The dumplings are a new favourite. Atmosphere was great, loved the dim lighting and the music. It was on point and meshed well with the clientele, you could tell because people were vibing, or singing along. We will definitely be back :)
