Was User at L'ostal a mag?
I had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The waiter was attentive and eager to offer menu suggestions when asked. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, especially in the terrace area, where diners could interact with those at neighboring tables. I will definitely be returning!

What Tracy dislikes about L'ostal:
Very cramped, insanely loud and uncomfortable seats, not to mention a ridiculously expensive wine list however the food and the service were good Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 1 View all feedback.
This was hands down the best gnocchi I’ve ever tasted, and the escargot was fantastic too. You really can’t go wrong with the second courses. We ordered the duck and steak, both of which were delicious. The demi-glace for the steak was spot on, and the duck was moist and expertly prepared, perfectly seasoned without being overly salty. They even make their own horseradish. I've been here at least five times, and each experience has been excellent. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

I am not sure if I am confused or it was a Very disappointing Experience! As the web says this concept is meant to be French, not inspired in France, French! However a real and auténtico French restaurant might not be worth the risk. The menu shows this too, not even French desserts. I would say it is a “European” inspired restaurant. Service was impecable as expected when you pay $25 for a 6oz glass of wine, however the decor and ambiance are well behind. We had a delicious homemade Pretzel, Pastas and gnocchis. Overall not worth the drive so we’ll keep trying others….
Fabulous evening! delicous food, wonderful service and delightful atmosphere! bavette steak is a wonderful new addition! sole was phenomenal! thank you eugene, christina and everyone at l’ostal for making our evening extra special!
