Vela Seaport

Vela is the restaurant and bar at YOTEL Boston on Seaport Boulevard, with large windows and indoor and outdoor seating. Its dinner menu gives a group plenty to work with: pork, shrimp, or vegetable potstickers; a mezze platter with hummus and halloumi; shrimp tacos; and a fried chicken sandwich with maple-sriracha slaw.

For a full meal, there are fish and chips, shrimp scampi, tuna poke, and a Japanese sweet potato bowl with a choice of protein. Breakfast and lunch are also served, so it can be a stop earlier in the day as well as an evening meeting place. Check the menu for your meal, and save room for Boston cream pie if you want dessert.
