Restaurants near HI - Boston Hostel

We loved it! Everything we ate was delicious, and we can’t wait to come back.

Estella was wonderful. My wife and I are foodies and in Boston for a conference. We were looking for something unique and comfortable. Estella offered a twist on traditional flavors that was wonderful. We started with drinks. The seasonal blueberry harvest was a delicious gin cocktail that was a perfect balance of sweet sweet and herbaceous deliciousness of gin. My better half had a Nearest to Me which was a delicious whisky shaken with lemon and ginger ale. We ordered the Parm garlic yucca fries with their delicious aioli…and I could’ve eaten another plate. For our meals I had the blackened salmon tacos. The flavors were delicious. The salmon was cooked well and the banana peppers and aioli balanced each other while the crispy onions added a welcome crunch to the lettuce wrapped tacos. My wife had the Shorty and Mash. My god was that a delish bite. The short rib was fall off the bone tender on top of delicious buttery mash. The sauce was a mustard and vinegar base and was unexpectedly delicious cutting through the richness of the beef. The toffee cake was a shared dessert to end the night. Service was attentive and friendly from both our server and management. It was loud but not off-putting and its always great when you leave a restaurant happy with what you had but eager to experience other flavors on the menu.

We stopped at Downtown Crossing for dinner before a show. The service was great. Colin, our waiter, was attentive and knowledgeable. I have a food allergy and he was able to offer alternatives to protect me. My meal was brought out separately so as to avoid any cross-contamination. The Manager was personable, friendly and had a great sense of humor. We will return there the next time we go into town. The prices were very reasonable, the food was excellent. We truly enjoyed ourselves.

Outstanding experience. Sometimes I eat Veal Parmesan at a local restaurant where I live. I will not do that anymore. This place showed me what Veal Parmesan is supposed to be and taste like. Bravo!

I took my husband to Ostra for his birthday, and it was fantastic! The food was delicious, the staff very attentive, and the atmosphere relaxed. We parked in the garage across the street which was very convenient. The crispy native oysters were the best we’ve ever had. I really enjoyed the grilled sea bream, and my husband loved the paella “Valenciana style”. Our knowledge waiter recommended wine that paired perfectly with our meals.
