Odyssey Downtown

Just went in there for wine, appetizers after work with friends from work. The wine and appetizers were great and the atmosphere is like no other place, the waitress new everything on the menu. It was a great time. Stop in and check it out!

Oh my goodness. What an amazing experience. Seriously so great that I pulled both managers working to tell them how amazing everything and everyone was. So buckle down, this is going to be a long review with names of the awesome staff involved. I'm sure everyone working at Odyssey is top notch, the people mentioned are just the ones we had the pleasure encountering tonight. Let's start by saying my husband and I aren't your typical Odyssey customers, however we are food fanatics and enjoy the Odyssey for a special treat of date night. We walk in the door and get an amazing welcome by the hostesses, Amber and Kyra. We instantly felt welcome. One of them, I can't remember which, told me I looked lovely and that just made my whole night. Heck, it made my whole year. I don't get out much so the few times I do my make up and hair, it's great to get complimented by another woman. We sit at the bar as all the tables are taken. This is to be expected at 6:30 on a Friday night and was our plan. We are instantly greeted by both bartenders - Austin and Danii. They take great care of us all night while juggling the bar and making drinks for the whole restaurant. They were working nonstop. If you've never ate at a bar, I encourage you to do so and watch how hard the bartenders work. Their customer service was top notch. So friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They managed to talk to us while working, but also knew to "leave us alone" while we were catching up with a friend who happened to be there. They took our orders quickly and kept the drinks coming. The offered desert with no pressure. Made recommendations and answered all of questions. Then the food came out. Omg. Delicious. We started with brocheta boards and they were to die for. I ordered the swordfish that came with a delicious pasta with tomatoes and squash. I also ordered a side of risotto. It was all so perfect. I've never had swordfish before and I now have high expectations for it as this was what dreams are made of. Cooked perfectly and so delicious. My husband had a steak with Mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. His steak was cooked to literal perfection and tasted amazing. We ate every last bite it was so good. We had to try desert so we got a creme Brule. If you put heaven in a dish and torch it, that's what it would taste like. This food would make Gordan Ramsey drool. Sarah, a manager, came over as she hear my husband talk about his company from Minnesota and wanted to tell us a story. She was so personable and topped the whole experience. I told her how great our experience had been and how wonderful our bartenders were. She was smiling so big and you could tell she took pride in her work, team, and the restaurant. Later, I called over the other manager, Lexi. I told her the same. I said we aren't your typical customers but we have truly enjoyed our experience. She welcomed us back anytime and made us feel like we belonged. After we left, and a couple hours later, I called to ask for the hostesses name for this review. I talked to Joslynn on the phone and to no surprise she was equally as awesome as everyone else. At this point in the evening, I was admittedly a little tipsy after going out after supper on our date night (Momma doesn't get out much). Joslynn seemed to enjoy my comments and not be annoyed one bit. Long story short. 1 million/10 recommend. Even if you think you don't belong, the staff will make you feel like you do. The food is beyond great, the atmosphere is unique, but the customer service can't be found anywhere else.

The best restaurant within 100 miles of here. Been there a dozen times and they've never had an off day not even so much as a slightly overcooked steak. Not sure how they do it.

Food is excellent. My guest and I both ordered the same dish and asked that it was prepared the same way. Our steaks were nowhere near similar in how they were cooked. They were still delicious though. The staff is friendly, and the wait staff knows their stuff. The atmosphere is a bit pretentious and boring, but I think that's what they're going for.

Went to Odyssey last night, for first time. Everything and everyone were just amazing! The food was made to perfection! Hastings is so lucky to have this option for fine dining! Ty so much to all!!!

In my humble opinion, Odyssey in downtown Hastings is the finest eating establishment in the tri-cities. Odyssey has the whole package: great atmosphere located in an historic building, consistently delicious food and excellent service. We dine at the Odyssey for every family special occasion and have never been disappointed. In addition, their bar offerings are very sophisticated as well.

Excellent slice of heaven! Thanks to Dillion from Lodi, CA for the wine selection. Food, atmosphere and overall experience was amazing! Highly recommended.

The best restaurant experience in Nebraska, the greet and wait staff, menu, atmosphere, tableware, bathrooms, management all executed flawlessly. I had the chicken fried steak (what I laughingly use to benchmark a restaurant), to say it was the best I have ever had is underselling it. The bruschetta , Nebraska salad, Chicken fried steak and cheesecake was one of the finest meals I have ever had. I love the vintage books that the final bill came in, full of signatures and memories. Every restaurant in the state needs to reserve an evening here for a masterclass in how to treat their customers to excellence.

My husband and I went to eat here for our 8 year anniversary tonight. Everything was absolutely wonderful! My porkchop was perfectly cooked, the risotto was creamy and sweet and the Smores Creme Brulee will never be beaten. We will definitely be back!

Tonight my husband and I went for a pre-anniversary dinner at Odyssey. It was a lovely dining experience. He ordered his first generous pour of a premium bourbon upon arrival. They usually always have a selection that meets the needs of his snooty whiskey pallet. Soon, after wavering between the bruschetta board and the parmesan truffle chips, we jointly chose the parmesan truffle chips. They are very good. Be careful though. They are served with a sanbal sauce that goes well with the chips. The sanbal has a definite zing to it. I like it, but , if you have a delicate tolerance, you might want to dip in accordingly. After aggressively enjoying the parmesan truffle chips, we ordered our meals. Btw, our server was a nice man named Dale. He was appropriately knowledgeable and presented himself and the menu in the best manner. I ordered the salmon with a double down serving of brussel sprouts. My husband ordered a large fillet with brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. He also went with the additional mushrooms and caramelized onions on the fillet. We thoroughly appreciated our selections. My husband enjoyed yet another generous pour of premium bourbon. The meats were cooked as we preferred and the sides were fantastic. As we were scraping every last bite off of our plates, a hosting lady brought us the dessert menu. We were plenty full, but dessert is my thing. I ordered a banana after dinner drink to go. The drink was a very nice ending to a great. Anniversary dinner. I resent we didn't send a six pack to the kitchen. Many thanks for a wonderful time!
