    Stopped in during the Nike Volleyball tournament across the street for a quick lunch at the Omni hotel. I found Kestra right at the lobby and sat the bar where one of the happiest people on the planet helped us: Jia. She made our day with her humor and smiles. Now, on to the food, the salmon was super delicious. I even asked Jia to get me the trick on how they got the skin so crispy (and she did!) The meze and the red lentil soup were also incredible. I highly recommend this place. And make sure you ask for Jia!

    Symphony of flavors that your taste buds will relish

    This place had me at French Toast! Executive summary: Service:5/5 Seating:3/4 - made for conference attendees on one side, there's a small section for patrons that want table service. This place is not conducive for large groups. Drink menu: 5/5 - OJ was fresh, they have the standard breakfast drinks. Flavor: 5/5 Come back again:5/5 I came here for the annual PEGS conference at the Boston convention center. There are two separate sections in the restaurant. A section for a the buffet menu if you're short on time. Then a separate section if you want to be served. The table service was very attentive. The portions are big here! I had the French toast it was fresh, not overcooked and delicious! I could not finish it and took the rest to go. I also had the steel cut oats, it was sweet, just like life! I ordered the fruit bowl, fresh and enough for two adults. Coffee was delicious and they have almond milk for non dairy patrons. My dinner experience was 5-star, I'll come back to this place and to start the day with a tasty breakfast and start the day off right. I do wish there was more seating in the table service area. I recommend getting here early it gets crowded!

    Avocado Toast

    This restaurant is located inside of the Omni hotel in Seaport. We got free breakfast here every morning and it was mediocre. The weekend breakfast was ok; the usual suspects: scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages ... nothing special. We ordered from the a la carte menu and that seemed better. Avocado toast was surprisingly good as well as the pancakes. Everything else on the menu is the same as the buffet. Service was subpar. Only because the staff was on strike and an interim staff was running the show. You could tell they didn't care. They were slapping silverware and plates down like it was their house. Once the regular staff came back, it was pretty good. The ambiance was really nice, as you would expect from a high end hotel restaurant. Overall, I'd skip and try something new. We got free daily breakfast so only reason why we got it every morning.

    Crunchy French Toast

    Breakfast at Kestra is great! The ambience is cozy and calming. Service is top notch. Jacob (seems to be a manager?) is incredibly friendly and attentive. I had an omelet on one day and the crunchy French toast on another day. Both were delicious, and served as large portion sizes with thoughtful (free) sides. Please note this is a hotel restaurant so expect high hotel pricing. Although I did not sit down to eat in the evening, I saw live jazz artists performing in the evening and a small bites menu being served at that time. It looked like fun!

    These potatoes were sooo good

    This is a hotel restaurant. So you will be paying higher prices for food and drinks. Luckily, the iced latte I got from here was tasty. My friend and I came here for breakfast and the food was also tasty. I had the egg sandwich with ham and cheese. My side was the breakfast potatoes. I highly recommend both. My friend got the pancakes which looked scrumptious!! We had a table in the back with comfortable chairs and a good size table.

    Smoked Short Rib Hash, huge portion ( even more under two eggs! Calibrian chili aioli

    If you're staying at the Omni or across the road at the convention center, get here early for lunch. Food: My husband tried the fish stew (which he gave the thumbs up to) and I had the mezze platter. I was impressed with the combination of flavors and the presentation of both dishes. Not cheap, but totally worth it. Service: Vincent was lovely. He had everything down to an art and had no problem looking after the rush of people that kept coming in waves from the convention center. Ambiance: Classy, calm, and collected - even with the surge of people arriving to try and be seated. Kestra's dining area isn't very large in size, but it's cozy and intimate, even with it being so close to the front lobby of the hotel. We had no choice but to sit at the bar as all the tables were full, but I'm glad we did as Vincent took good care of us. A solid 5/5, would definitely come back.

    Bar area with cool art

    Another great restaurant in the Omni hotel at Seaport! Very cozy ambience with the fireplace and Christmas tree and decorations. Elegant decor with shelves with books and art on either side of the fireplace gives it a living room vibe. The bar area also has cool artwork on the wall. Place was fairly empty due to the fact that it's Christmas Eve and also we got here close to closing time after a morning filled with strolling about Snowport in the cold temps in the teens (brrr) and then touring the ICA. So it was nice to come inside to this warm inviting place. We also got the best table right by the fireplace!! The menu had lots of interesting items and it was tough to decide but I ordered the chicken thigh kabob which came with a saffron rice with raisins, a white sauce, and a delicious side salad with cucumbers, grape tomatoes, onions, olives and mint. Very Mediterranean!! All flavors melded well together. The chicken was cooked really nice, with slightly crispy skin and the sauce and rice and salad went great with it. Really enjoyed it. It wasn't a huge portion but I was satisfied and also had some for leftovers (yummy)! The hubs ordered the Kestra burger and he really enjoyed it. The bun had a harissa aioli spread on it and burger had sweet pickle chips, a creamy feta sauce, all of which enhanced the flavor and texture of the meat. Best of all, the fries were amazing! Hot crispy in the outside soft on the inside just how fries should be. The hubs loved it and said "all the restaurants in this hotel know how to do fries right" !! And I agree!! I usually stay away from fries and may only have one or two but with these, I couldn't stop eating them! Service was great. The lone waiter Bill was quite friendly, seemed to know the menu well, offered a few recommendations, and had detailed knowledge of the dishes down to the sauces! Very impressive. Service was quick and he also complied to our request for pictures when the food arrived. He had to leave at the end of his shift and the bartender took over and he was great too. Brought us boxes for our leftovers before we even asked! Overall great experience! Highly recommend!

    Ordered salmon with broccolini and mashed potatoes & lobster pasta. The salmon was fresh and tasted great. The lobster was way too cheesy and pasta skin was not cooked all the way. Also very few pieces of lobster. About 4 pieces total. It was still very al dente which I didn't like at all. It does take about 20-30mins for the order to be ready so give yourself some time when ordering.

    Lobster roll

Sangria was yummmm Lobster rolls excellent, spicy tuna bowl superb, lobster louie salad delicious can't go wrong with any of these. Pricey, but still enjoyed!!!

    Crunchy French Toast with a side of Crispy Potatoes
    Melissa T.

    I recently had breakfast here after staying at the Omni Hotel. The space is very open with plenty of seating. The menu was limited, but offered plenty of good options. I decided to go with the Crunchy French Toast with a side of Crispy Potatoes. I loved the French toast - the combination of the peanut butter syrup and bananas was perfect, and the bread was crunchy on the outside, while fluffy inside. I actually finished all of the french toast, that I ended up just taking the potatoes home. If I stay at the Omni again, I'll definitely be back for breakfast!

    You must order the kale salad. I am not a kale salad person, yet I have dined here three times in…read morethe last week to eat the kale salad and am already planning my next visit. You know when you're eating a kale salad and the pieces are too big and you're kind of cramming them into your mouth and then the salad dressing is all over your face? This is NOT that salad! The kale is perfectly chopped so you can enjoy it with just your fork as you talk to your friend/spouse/date or just read your book. The dressing is such perfection, and the perfect amount, no gloopiness here! Crunchy breadcrumbs add magical texture and then there's a shower of finely grated gouda cheese on top. Have you ever read a good book and as you're reading it, you're so into it that you don't want it to end? So you slow down your reading speed to make it last a little longer? That's how I feel about this salad. There are other delicious items on the menu, I saw someone eating the burger that looked so good, I also want to try the Brussels but the call of the salad siren is too strong. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly, especially Catherine, and the kitchen team even shared the dressing recipe with me. Excellent wine list, casual and cozy space with twinkle lights, a lot of bar/counter seating, great date spot. Also attached/sister company to American Provisions I believe (great spot in Southie for sandwiches, cheeses, wines, pastries, rare food items).

I absolutely ADORE this place. It's one of my top 3 places in all of Boston. The vibes, the food, the wine, the prices, EVERYTHING is 10/10. This is one of those places where I feel at peace because I feel like my money was 100% well-spent. The prices are fair, and I don't feel like I'm being taken advantage of. And the FOOD, the food is exquisite. My favorite time to go is on Tuesdays for the $1 oyster deal, definitely my favorite $1 oyster deal in the city. They mostly have small plates and a few large plates, but you seriously can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And the wine options, amazinggggggg. Gray's is a true gem!

    Came here for dinner for the first time with a couple of friends. Hubby and I ordered their…read morebuffalo loaded fries, a spicy chicken burger, pressed veggie melt, and a couple of drinks. Total came out to approximately $80 (not including tip). What's Hot - Menu. Pretty good variety. There's something for everyone, including vegans (for the most part). Specifically for vegans, they do not appear to have vegan cheese. They recently added loaded fries to their menu. - Quality. We tried their buffalo loaded fries, which definitely a good kick of spiciness. There was a good amount of buffalo mozzarella cheese and chicken. Their fries are slightly crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. I really enjoyed my pressed veggie sandwich. There were whole veggies, such as broccoli, with a good amount of cheese melted between all the veggies. I liked that it was not a mashed patty. The sourdough bread was not tart (which I prefer), soft, and not too greasy. No skimping on the ingredients either. Their mozzarella bites appetizer is good, not overly breaded, and cheesy/stringy. All of us enjoyed our meals. - Service. We showed up without reservations on a Friday night when it was cold and rainy, and they were able to seat us right away. We tried several other restaurants before getting here, and we would have had to wait at least one hour, because we did not have reservations, even though those restaurants clearly had open tables. Our waitress was helpful. She answered all questions she had and was able to provide us contextual helpful info (i.e., what she's tried from the menu, what she liked and why, flavor level, etc...). She paid attention to detail. One of our friends hates pickles and specifically asked for no pickles with his burger. This may seem like a minor detail, but if a staffer cannot pay attention to detail in the service industry, that is not a good indication. - Price. Good value for money, especially given the quality of food and portions. - Portions. Good amount and enough to get one full on one dish. - Location. Conveniently located in downtown Boston around many other shops and restaurants. - Layout. At the front, there's a pretty large bar area, including high tables and chairs, with booths and smaller tables towards the back. They appear to be able to accommodate large groups and smaller parties, including individuals. What's Not - Acoustics. It's pretty loud inside and sound carries very easily, so it's difficult to carry a conversation. Final Answer Worth returning.

    I got two cocktails from here and loved both! The "down cape" was very pretty and tasty. I also…read moreenjoyed the "starstruck" drink. The restaurant is very large and has plenty of seating.
