Odyssey Downtown

Our first here. Lunch today of various choices. Crunch Burger, rare, for me. Herb fries. Plane Jane burger also. Water drinks. Is a restored old downtown setting. The best. Wowzr food experience.

My husband and I were in Hastings for one night recently and we chose this restaurant for a night out. It did not disappoint! The salad appetizer and steaks for perfectly cooked and the bar seating was just right for us. The staff was attentive and efficient and the whole restaurant had a nice energetic vibe. Love the historic building and the downtown location too.

Really solid all around! Great cocktails, great apps, entrees, ambiance, service. Ez 5 star review

Food was delicious everything is made in house. I came here with a group from work and we ordered different items. Every plate was left clean lol. Didn't take any pictures sorry. The restaurant was very nice. From when you first walk in to the art that is on the walls this place is elegant. Our waitress was very friendly, attentive, and was very helpful when we all had questions about the menu. Thank you and i will be coming back. Ps the deserts are delicious also !!!

Best restaurant in Hastings. The grilled Ceasar salad, the steaks, the entire menu is fantastic. I will be back again!

This was our first visit to Odyssey and it was prompted by reviews from friends and also online reviews. They have a great dinner menu with a cosmopolitan selection - from udon to steaks to pasta. Decor is upscale, classy, in a restored downtown building. They promote the history of the space extensively on their website. Our server,Francisco was pleasant, fairly attentive, and helpful. His knowledge of cocktails and wine needs some improvement, but he knew the menu well. Cocktails were excellent. My Old Fashioned with heavy bitters was perfect. Muddled orange and Four Roses bourbon (their bar well selection). I also greatly enjoyed a Botonist Gin on the rocks with three blue cheese stuffed olives. Our wine was very reasonably priced - a 2019 Austin Hope Cabernet. This vintage was more fruit forward than I traditionally like, but was still quite satisfying. Their selection of wine glasses is very smart and they're crystal clear, adding to the enjoyment.We ordered two types of bruschetta, Traditional and Popper (Brie, jalapeño jam, and bacon). The Popper needed more punch to the flavor; at least I expected more. Salads were cold, crisp, and well sized. I've had better wedge salads elsewhere. Odyssey's lacked a really sharp blue cheese that I prefer. My 8 oz. Filet was tender, cooked exactly as ordered, and flavorful. Served with Brussels sprouts and sweet pea risotto, the two sides did not fare as well as the beef. The risotto was thick, sticky, and I'm guessing a bit overcooked. The sprouts were shaved and lacked the caramelization that makes this vegetable a star. Our guests reported that the pork chop was a bit dry. However, the salmon entree and the seared scallops were both excellent.Overall, I rate this as a good experience. In Hastings Nebraska, this establishment likely holds the top spot. When compared with the many experiences I've had, my first visit was just good, not great. But the Odyssey is worthy of a try and I'll try it again.

Was turned around at the front door bc of our appearance and being younger. Lady sat there filling in seats and setting a time so that we couldn't eat there. Very frustrating and has really ruined our whole groups mood.

What an amazing evening. We met here as a central location for the 5 adults to celebrate my birthday. They put a cute sign on my table after asking permission. The staff each wished me a happy birthday. The 3 appetizers were fabulous. The 5 adults had 5 different entrees. WE finished with 3 desserts. WE loved the creme brulee and the chocolate chip cookie ala mode in a cast iron skillet. WE will be back the next time that we are in the area. It is pricey for Hastings Nebraska. So I would choose to come here for special occasions.

Lovely decor--old items repurposed. Gluten friendly option were plentiful and varied. I thoroughly enjoyed the arancini & the sautéed Brussels sprouts. Much to my delight, there was even a wonderful crème brûlée for dessert. Our server, Morgan, was a delight! Overall great experience!

Food and service were good, options have not changed much over the years and that the overall atmosphere has declined from what it once was.
