After all the years of wanting to check this place out I must say it exceeded my expectations. My father drove just over a thousand miles to visit for his 70th birthday and my wife and I decided to take him here for dinner. I did make a note in the reservation that it was a celebration dinner but what happened next I did not expect. The hostess who's name I have forgotten (she was great) quietly dropped off a birthday card signed by the entire staff working that night. To say that my father was touched would be an understatement. Our server, Chelsea, was phenomenal. She guided us through the menu and took amazing care of us on a very special night. I will for sure request her next time. Dad had the fresh catch of the day, my wife had the Branzino, and I had the lobster bucatini; all were amazing. We are looking forward to our next visit! read more

This is absolutely on my top 3 in Orlando and where I tend to bring out of town visitors for a nice dinner. The seafood, the drinks, the oysters, the vibes, the dessert. Everything is so yummy and special, without being fussy. The staff are knowledgeable and laid back. They have great specials so there is always something new to try. One of the most unique dishes I have ever tried is the swordfish sausage. I'd recommend The Osprey for a dinner date, for drinks and oysters, or for a nightcap. read more

I'm honestly pretty annoyed at myself for just now trying this place. My husband and I were in Baldwin Park for a mini holiday photoshoot during golden hour and decided to grab an early dinner after. The Osprey is located just a couple minutes from where we had done photos, so we decided to pop in without reservations to see if they had space for us. We got there just after 5pm and the restaurant was pretty dead so we had our pick of spots inside or outside. Right away I was struck by the warm, cozy, but still elevated feel of the restaurant. They're all decorated for the holidays and it's so beautiful. We picked a corner table inside by the window and it was perfect. We decided on a couple glasses on wine and shared a few items off the menu including an autumn squash salad, filet mignon with fresh black truffle AND truffle better (can you tell we love truffle?), the brownie sundae, and a dessert wine. Everything we ordered was excellent and our server was very helpful with his recommendations. This is one of the only restaurants in the area with a wood fire grill, so opting for the filet was perfect. We finished every bite and it was so tender it cut like butter. Arguably the best part of the meal was the dark chocolate brownie sundae though. It was the most delicious mix of warm and cold and the brownie was so fudgey and nutty without being overdone. This dessert is a must if you enjoy a sundae. We can't wait to come back to try other menu items next time! read more

I have always enjoyed the osprey, especially for dessert and dad jokes. We went to enjoy magical dining and we sure did enjoy it. The food was impeccable and the staff was great. I really enjoy the low lighting at night and decor, it feels elegant, yet homey. read more

Went for Magical Dining with a friend recently and it was alright. The salad was my favorite part of the dinner. I ordered the Caesar with anchovies on the side, the Rainbow Trout, and then the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. The server did tell us there were no sides to the fish, so I was aware and still ordered it. It was fine, but would have preferred even just a veggie or something to go with it as it was a lot of just one thing. The Peanut Butter Pie was very rich and I could only eat a very small portion of it. Service was pretty slow, and it didn't seem super busy, but I also didn't pay attention to how many tables our server had. They were super nice when they were at our table though. I'm not sure I would go back for food again, but the atmosphere is fantastic so maybe for some drinks at the bar. read more

Came for magical dining. We had a mixed experience. The crush puppies were delicious, loved the drinks, and the oysters were great. However, the trout was burnt and left a bitter taste in our mouths. My husband said the Caesar salad was ok and my flank was the same (prob should have upgraded to the strip). My husband loved his sundae and I didn't really like my cheesecake. Will probably be back for happy hour. read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. First of all, I have NEVER had as good of service as I had here. We had a server and a trainee, and let me tell you, you would've thought the trainee worked there for years. Both of them were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Loved them. The food was OUTSTANDING. We started off with the oysters which were amazing. I was disappointed because they were out of the salmon, but the server suggested the local catch (swordfish) which I'd never had before so I was nervous. It was phenomenal. My partner got the Petite Lobster Roll and Crab Cake and both were off the hook! Pun intended. To drink we had the pump up the jam and roll in with the homies. Super boozy and unique flavors. Loved it. Finished off with their s'mores dessert, it was excellent. Rich and creamy, but not too much. As far as the restaurant itself, it is stunning. It's very calm and spacious, so no matter how busy they are, everything is still a good volume and feels like you're the only one there. I'd kill to have this place in Houston where I live! So so soooo good! read more

I absolutely love osprey they never disappoint. The inside is absolutely beautiful. They really spent some great time on the ambiance and it shows. The service is ALWAYS GREAT everyone is very friendly and they are very tentative. Now the good part is the food the first time I went I had their caviar butter with their rolls which were AMAZING! Very delicious. And a Moscow mule. Their seafood is very fresh and never disappointed me. This time I went I had arrived just in time to enjoy their smash burger which has been hyped in their page I have been wanting to try it due to their bacon jam on top of it. let me tell you It was very tasty. I could only eat half but it was a great half burger lol. Their fries are great as well, salty and seasoned. I can't wait for my next meal there as I will be back very soon! read more

You'll want to give yourself a little extra time to park when arriving here, as you'll likely need to do either street parking or head to a nearby garage on Jake street. Street parking is a bit limited. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It has a very nice ambiance inside and there's music played that fits the theme of the restaurant, but it's at a volume level where it's enjoyable and allows you to have conversations with your fellow diners. The service is fantastic. Servers are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. So service is not a thing to worry about here. The food, overall, is good with a few great items. The crush puppies, made with blue crab, Florida sweet corn and green goddess, were delicious and a definite must try for an appetizer. The crab cake that I had seemed to lack seasoning. It also had a side of watermelon rind that didn't add anything to the dish in my opinion. I'd skip this one. They've got a larger selection of seafood items, and one that I did like was their mussels. So two go-tos are their mussels and their crush puppies. I also like their Salmon Crudo, The fish was tender, delicious and well-seasoned. For my mains, I had their prime flank with bearnaise sauce and fries. The steak was good, but not great. It felt slightly tough, but I did order it cooked medium, which may have led to that. Normally, steak is quite flavorful all by itself, but not in this case. It tastes good, but not that flavorful on its own. If you add the sauce, it compensates for this. This is the rare case where a steak needs a sauce. For dessert, I had their banana bread pudding. I've gotten used to restaurants treating desserts as an afterthought, but this one was ok. It tasted more like banana bread than it did pudding. It lacked the moistness and consistency associated with a pudding. Granted, it was a banana bread pudding, but it still lacked the pudding portion in my view. They compensate for this by adding ice cream to the dish, but it doesn't quite make up for it. So, overall, the food is good and the service is fantastic. Would I come here again? Yes. There's a lot more of their menu left to try. Their stronger points seem to be on the seafood side, so I'd order from that end when you go. The drink selection is also fabulous. My table ordered a honey infused drink and a sangria that were both good. It's a solid restaurant and I recommend trying it. read more

I loving visiting the Osprey. This is a "Good Salt" restaurant. Same owners as Reyes, and the Monroe. Here at the Osprey they focus on Seafood. I spent a lot of time coming here for Happy Hour over the years. I can guarantee you it's worth it! My favorite part about it, are the $2 oysters. (I remember when they were $1 :'( ). Yummm! Indoors, you can expect it to look and feel amazing (just like their sister spots). Lovely vibe! Outside of the oysters, I very often order their Fish & chips - lightly fried and fluffy, flavor is there! Cocktails here are delicious too. They are located in Baldwin so parking can be challenging depending on what time you go. Only street parking available. read more

The Osprey is worth a go, especially if you're an avid seafood lover. The oysters are always fresh (great on happy hour special) and there's always something interesting to try on the menu. Recently went for a friends birthday dinner and had a fantastic experience! The waiter greeted us all by name throughout the night after his initial greeting and took the time to review the menu in detail and recommend specialty cocktails since most of the group were there for the first time. Everyone shared appetizers and our entrees; tasting calamari, octopus, crush puppies, mussels, shrimp carbonara... everything was delicious and prepared exactly to our liking. I personally have been on other occasions with people who don't eat seafood and they were able to enjoy the land-faring dishes on the menu. Overall great spot for happy hour with friends, a romantic date night or to celebrate any special occasion! read more

Very Delish. 9/10. The Osprey is one of our go to favorites. We love the at they change their menu seasonally while keeping some classics. Their happy hour deal is great and you get a good amount of food for your buck. The servers are always super helpful and well informed even with the menu changing often. The vibes are very cute and a great open concept. read more

Located in Baldwin park, nice area. Parking is street parking. Got a reservation, seated promptly even though we arrived early. Everyone was very nice, beautiful restaurant. I got the hermit, it wasn't sweet, kind of like their version of the old fashion, enjoyed it! We started out with the petite seafood tower and it was good! Wished it came with a little more sauce. For the main course, I went for the whole fish, that night it was sea bass, it was delicious. Had to work pretty hard at it since it was a whole fish! But it was well worth it. The husband got the rainbow trout and he enjoyed his dish. Side of truffle corn, pretty good! For dessert we shared the chocolate torte, it was a good size, rich but really delicious with the raspberry sauce on the side. Overall it was an amazing dining experience, food was excellent, staff was fabulous! I wished I remembered our waitress's name because we loved her! read more

Enjoyed dinner here on a Friday night. Made a reservation for 5pm and was surprised how busy it was considering they had just opened. We ordered 8 of each oyster the offered along with crushed puppies as an appetizer. Both appetizers were ok. The PEI mussels were perfectly prepared with a flavorful broth. The whole snapper was fresh, though the side of Brussel sprouts came overly charred but had surprisingly good flavor. The jumbalaya portion was modest with just 3 shrimp, but the Prime Flank steak was cooked to perfection. Solid wine list and attentive service. While portion sizes vary and some dishes like the crushed puppies were average, the fresh seafood makes this place worth visiting if you are in the area. read more

Had my birthday dinner here, had no idea it was happy hour, smacked some delicious oysters to start. East coast, west coast, Florida, or mid Atlantic, all delicious. Our server Cameron absolutely killed it, filled us new to the oyster game people on everything. Facilitated an amazing dinner, shout out Cam! You get lucky and carrot cake is on the dessert menu, get it. All in all a wonderful bday dinner. Thank you Osprey and Cam. Entire staff was top notch too. Thank yall! read more

Came here to celebrate one of my favorite people, our fellow Yelper,Madison L. for her birthday! It's a higher end place and has beautiful decor. Our waiter was great but the service was a little slower but maybe that was due to how busy it was that night. We all indulged in the magical dining menu that was a great deal for $40. I started with a cocktail, of course, and went with the Caesar salad, they ask if you want anchovies because it's placed on top, which I haven't seen before. The dressing was light and tasty. This also is a huge salad that quite honestly could have been a main dish. For my main meal, I had the mussels that were incredible and a hugeeee portion, definitely shareable. The bacon was an amazing touch, and the sauce was delicious that it was placed in. I tried my friend's steak and that was incredible as well. Fries were hot and crispy! As if that wasn't enough food, lol, it included dessert and I went with the peanut butter pie which I loved but it was super rich I couldn't eat all of it. I definitely would return here and all my friends also enjoyed their meals! read more

I came in with my friends to celebrate my birthday and we had a wonderful experience! They printed a personalized "Happy Birthday" message with my name. Our server was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, the ingredients, and how everything was prepared. He made a great wine recommendation that I really appreciate. Service was absolutely fantastic. To drink, we got the Mystery of Okachobee, which was floral and delicious. We got the beef tartare for the table. It was fresh and fun to try. The sourdough bread, olives, and cheeses really elevated the beef. We all opted for Magical Dining. It was a great price and you really get to explore the menu. I got the Caesar salad, flank steak with fries, and the chocolate peanut butter pie. Everything was delicious and had a beautiful presentation. The restaurant was gorgeous and suited the meal well. Overall, this was a fabulous experience and I'm excited to come back! read more

I don't come to Baldwin Park very often, but I'm happy I finally got the opportunity to try this place out, it had been bookmarked for months. As soon as I walked in, I loved the decor...it was almost as pretty as the person I went with (refer to my picture) I feel like Good Salt Restaurant Group really gets it when it comes to creating a nice space. I have also been to the Monroe and Reyes and got the same feeling when I walked in. So kudos for aesthetically pleasing places. The highlight of my visit was a tie between the pull apart garlic cream cheese bread and our server Maggie. Both were equally awesome, so ask for both. (You're welcome.) We were there for the brunch menu, and decided to get a few things to pick on, everything was good. Our cocktails were excellent, I definitely want to go back to try the dinner menu and have actual seafood next time. There's parallel parking available or a parking area across the street from the restaurant. -Make reservations. read more

Had a bad experience last night. It took over an hour to get our happy hour oysters. An hour to get another cocktail . After an hour and a half still no food and was told they were out of two of the four entrees we had ordered. We decided to call it a night and went home and ate leftovers! Really unhappy with the service we received . Only good thing was the ambience read more

Sad being the sister restaurant of Seito. The Menu is very small, and being so you would expect only the best with the select items and expensive prices. Falls short everytime after multiple visits.. oysters are hit or miss. Fish is nothing out of the ordinary probably from Lombardis. Octopus was overly chewy and calamari was straight out of a freezer. Cocktails are very small even though they have a nice selection of bourbons.. Service has always been very good however. read more

The rolls are good but the center was cold. We got hush puppies which are not pictured that were good but a little greasy. The crab cake was so fresh, the sauce is almost like a romesco, very good. The king prawns were grilled and the sauce which was like a smokey butternut squash paired so well however the potatoes needed salt which was almost non existent. The catch of the day was phenomenal, great flavor and a super crust, just get it and don't ask questions. The carrot cake was very greasy and the crunch on the bottom was a good touch but the icing was a little powdery. Services was great! read more

The food and service was so meh. Every dish was mediocre except for the raw oysters. Tuna nachos - couldn't tell it was tuna. Calamari was nothing special. I can make better steak frites. Ceasar was bland even w anchovies. Martini wasn't cold even though I asked for it icy. I just added ice. Wine needed ice too and champagne was not well chilled. Navy cocktail was good. I love other restaurants from the group. Too bad this one didn't deliver. read more

The Osprey has been on my "Orlando restaurant staples" list since they opened, and I've loved watching them evolve over the last 7 years. I'm a big fan of their more recent seafood-focused menu update with Chef Michael Cooper at the helm, and everything I've had their in the last year has been phenom. I personally prefer to sit at the gorgeous bar whenever I dine here, and the bar staff is top notch. They have a great oyster happy hour (Tues-Fri 5-7pm) featuring 1/2 off mid-atlantic oysters and $2 off Florida oysters. You can also get $8 cocktails, $7 wines, and discounted apps. They have an amazing Sunday brunch (11am-3pm), including shakshuka, shrimp & grits, a killer breakfast sandwich, loaded breakfast potatoes, and yummy pastries like the glazed honey bun. I also love their espresso martini here and get it just about every time. I have a long list of dinner time favorites and my favorite thing to do is order a ton of small plates to share. My top picks are the sweet Hawiiaan rolls with caviar butter, Florida corn soup, smoked salmon dip, calamari, PEI mussels (get extra bread for dipping in that sauce!), smoked wings, scallop ceviche, red snapper crudo, and, of course, oysters on the half shell. They recently added seafood towers and caviar service to the menu, which I'm looking forward to trying soon. I know I really need to try more of the main entrees, but I just love all the starters & shareables so much. This is definitely my go-to spot when I'm craving delicious seafood! read more

Consistently great food, kind and attentive service in a beautiful atmosphere. Anything they prepare in their jasper oven is a must try.

My boyfriend and I came here for a magical dining date night. We went on a Saturday with a reservation time of 7:45pm. We got there early and it was busy so we got a drink at the bar. For the magical dining they had wine pairing for $20 (1/2 glass during app, full glass during main course, dessert wine with the dessert), so I got that. Thought it was a good deal! The calamari had a great crisp on it, but the flavor was a little hit or miss, some good bites and some bland bites. You get a white dipping sauce with it, but I didn't find it necessary. The octopus bolognese was really good, both my boyfriend and I got that for our main dish. It was ground octopus instead of chunks, so the flavor was definitely throughout the sauce. For dessert I got the crepe brûlée and my boyfriend for the chocolate panacotta. We took a bite of each other's desserts and I enjoyed his better than mine, so in pure relationship fashion, we switched desserts! (He liked mine more as well). It was a good experience and a nice restaurant! We don't live near baldwin park, but it's on our side of town. We wouldn't have made our way out here if it wasn't on magical dining. But, I'd come back again! read more

I had a nice afternoon snack at The Osprey. The menu looked great all around. As well they have a nice beer selection, which is a great draw. I noticed they had sours, so I went with the Dragon Fruit Mango sour from Destihl Brewery. It has a lite fruit touch and the acidity I like in a sour beer. I started with the Watermelon Salmon Carpaccio and it was a smash hit together. The watermelon played nice with the fruit in the beer and the acidity cut right through the fatty smoked salmon. I really nailed this paring and the chefs prepared it to perfection. I really wanted to get another round of this. Instead I switched gears and went more savory with the Scallop Crudo. And I was a little surprised at how well this paired up with the sour beer. The coconut broth, ginger and finger lime were absolutely delightful with the dragonfruit mango combination in the beer. I was very happy with my service and look forward to coming back to try more. The Ambiance of The Osprey is warm and inviting. With soft lighting and subtle music. It feels modern with a classic core. There is large comfortable bar in the center with plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable with friends or your ipad. They have tables for larger group indoors and they have tables for sidewalk dining. read more

5 Stars for outstanding service, cocktails that can't be beat, and oysters that make my heart sing! Sometime during the pandemic, The Osprey shifted to a focus on seafood. I hadn't been there since (I live with a vegetarian and there aren't a ton of vegetarian options on the dinner menu), but recently hit it up for an after-dinner drink and then for happy hour on another day. I'm hooked! (pun intended) First off, gotta call out the lovely and SUPER knowledgeable server, Danielle. She's been at The Osprey for a while and it shows. Not only is she incredible nice, but she has the answer to any question you have about the drinks or menu. Legit- this lady was talking to me about the process of how the Fiji rum is distilled and then going through a detailed description of every oyster type they have available at that time. I was blown away by her! Speaking of rum, I *had* to try the plantation rum flight. Each rum was so different, and it really gave me a new appreciation for the varied flavor profiles in a spirit that can sometimes be overlooked. My favorite? The rum from Fiji! It was funky and had an almost-Scotch-like flavor. I was also able to try the spirited away cocktail and loved the creaminess of it (tajin on the rim?? YES PLZ!). Overall, I am a fan of this restaurant. Its ambiance is perfect for a date-night, they have a killer brunch, a private area for small groups, and seafood that will make you squeal with delight (including a new caviar menu!!). Enjoy! read more
