Kestra

This place had me at French Toast!Executive summary:Service:5/5Seating: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: 5/5Come back again:5/5I 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!

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.

Great lunch spot. thoroughly enjoyed location, nice view, relaxing beautiful breeze. Food was EXCELLENT 4 people and we all enjoyed meal. 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!!!

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!

This is a hotel restaurant. So you will be paying higher prices for food and drinks. Luckily, the iced latte I gotfrom here was tasty.My friend and I came here for breakfast and the food was also tasty. I had the egg sandwich with ham andcheese. 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.

Ordered room service from Kestra every morning during my stay at The Omni hotel. Service was super prompt, and the food was consistently good. Usually ordered their classic breakfast or an omelet, nothing super special but it was solid. As usual, room service is over priced, but it was filling and hit the spot when I didn't have time to grab anything else.

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!

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.

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.

Had breakfast and the meal was good service was great and the venue was nice I will definitely go back next time I'm in town
