Odyssey Dining Cruise

Something different then the typical night out to eat in Boston

by Christopher Macdonald at Citysearch

Odyssey dinner cruise was really impressive. I went with a group of colleagues and will encourage my friends to go on this more often. The food was excellent, with several choices (salmon was A+). No other restaurant can beat the views you get from your table or the lounge area. I have to admit dinner hasnt been that fun in a long time. I highly reccomend this place to a large group or even a couple looking for a romantic night.

• Pros: food, views, atmosphere, something different, music

Our group boarded last week and had a wonderful time. The crew was very accommodating and the food was very good, I would definitely book our next outing on Odyssey. Beautiful views of Boston from all directions.

The Scene
With a range of cruise times and a variety of special package options, dinner cruises aboard the Odyssey offer something for everyone. Three dining levels--with a bar and band on each--are host to romantic dates, anniversary parties, birthdays, family dinners, and office gatherings. Guests can drink, dine, and dance inside or take in the stunning views of Boston Harbor from three observation decks. Attentive waiters make sure drinks and plates are never empty, while cover bands play anything from Motown to soft rock to jazz.

The Food
The prixe fixe dinner menu includes an appetizer, first course, and main course (drinks are an additional charge). Starting with a trio of savory tarts, the choices that follow include standards such as duck confit, lobster bisque and beef short rib. A selection of desserts is prepared fresh daily. Guests can request that courses be served immediately in succession or staggered, allowing more time to explore the ship.

Hits
The views of the Harbor and the chance to dance or wander the decks between courses create the feel of a classic cruise, offering a couple hours of relaxation in style.

Misses
Though well-prepared, the food can be on the unimaginative side, and the music can be a bit out of date, but all in all it's hard not to enjoy the dining cruise experience.
