    Everything about The Ostrich Club is pro level — the menu is fresh and creative, and the drink options are delightful. Best of all, though, is the service, which further elevates the experience. Staff and management care a lot about diners and food, and their enthusiasm for both sets a fantastic tone.

    I’m a regular. This was a special event. If you ever see them advertising for a special event, go. The planning and intelligence that went into this evening is unmatched in this part of the world.

    We had the pleasure of experiencing the Cru Beaujolais event at the Ostrich Club. A curated selection of all 10 Cru Beaujolais along with classic French cuisine from the region, with a map and very clever tasting notes. A lot of work and expertise went into this night, and it was fun, educational, and delicious.

    Another terrific experience at The Ostrich Club! The care and attention given by Alana and Lindsay is always top shelf! Two people at our table were dining here for the first time and were thrilled with the thoughtfully curated wines and food menu. Talked about the evening and how much we enjoyed it on our drive home, thank you again for your hospitality!
