My Fiancé and I enjoyed a few drinks by the bar during our stay at the Omni. Our bartender Ruben and Javier were the most kind, friendly and accommodating staff! We truly enjoyed their company that night! They even gave us recommendations about the breakfast the next day! The atmosphere was peaceful, Kestra added a true romantic ambiance to our weekend. We will be back to enjoy your space again! The drinks were so good, we can’t wait to try the food next time.

It’s a pretty little restaurant in the Omni hotel. We ate breakfast there two mornings. The first morning got the blueberry smoothie which was delicious but came in a very skinny glass for the price, the short rib hash which was heavy but delicious with the sauces it came with which balanced it nicely, the Turkish breakfast which was absolutely delicious and healthy and the lemon ricotta pancakes which were meh as I didn’t really like the lemon sauce. All of the portions were huge. The next day we got the kids all American breakfast which is a bit smaller version of the Kestra breakfast but big enough to feed an adult, the avocado toast which was very good, Turkish breakfast again and Kestra breakfast. Although the turkey bacon was soft it tasted very good. We also got the French toast but didn’t eat it much because it really should have marinated in the custard longer as it was a tiny bit dry

This restaurant, in the Omni Seaport Hotel, is fantastic for breakfast! They have a great cup of coffee and great granola breakfast! Also, in the evening, great drinks and jazz music, on certain nights.

An otherwise unassuming hotel lobby bar, Kestra offers live jazz several nights a week. We live in the neighborhood and were passing through the lobby as a shortcut on a rainy night, and noticed the music emanating from the lounge so made a plan to return to try their menu and musical offering. Kestra's menu is limited but not unusually so for a lobby bar. We had their charcuterie board, the delicious chili cheese biscuits, and a prosciutto flatbread, all of which were satisfying. Where Kestra exceeded expectations that evening was in the music. A trio of local musicians included bassist Jon Burr, guitarist Sal DiFusco, and violinist Mark Russell. All were exemplary, in particular Russell, whose career has been inspired by Stephane Grappelli, one of my long-time favorites. What a treat, to happen upon such high-caliber talents in a hotel lobby bar (and with no cover charge)! Besides wishing for a few more choices on the menu, we'd have loved to get a table closer to the musicians. For whatever reason, tables for diners are amassed around a fireplace and far removed from the entertainment, as if to relegate the music to the background. All that said, we'll be keeping Kestra on our radar as an easy-going option for casual bar snacks and top-flight local jazz.

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!

We ordered two chocolate cakes and they gave us two tiny rock solid muffins that tasted awful. Also charged our hotel room without asking when we wanted to pay for it right then and there when we specifically said not to. Looked like the type of muffins you buy in bulk and heat up. We were also called and told that WE not them, forgot the sauce as if it was our fault it wasn't put in the bag. Order total was $33 for two “cakes” that weren't even the size of my palm would never order from there again.

The restaurant is located in the Omni Hotel. We experienced a wait of over 40 minutes for brunch. The food was good, with the Smoked Short Rib Hash and build your own omelette being particularly enjoyable, although both dishes lacked salt. The short rib was slightly greasy and featured a higher fat texture than I typically prefer. However, the turkey bacon and berry banana smoothie were pleasant, with the smoothie boasting a robust banana flavor. Unfortunately, the crispy potatoes did not meet expectations, lacking crispiness and flavor. The mimosas were satisfactory. A significant drawback was the extended wait for our meal, which exceeded our anticipated timeframe. Additionally, the price was higher than expected for the quality of food provided.

Mediocre food and overpriced. The salmon dish was a tiny portion, extremely hot (clearly microwaved), and not worth the cost. Service was painfully slow—definitely not worth the wait. Wouldn’t recommend.
