BOSTON—YOTEL Boston launched the newly renovated Vela Seaport on its ground floor. The restaurant is led by Executive Chef Guara Pimenta and YOTEL Boston’s Director of Food and Beverage, Jayson Goldstein will oversee all food and beverage operations for the hotel’s newest addition as well as its Deck 12 rooftop.
Pimenta brings his signature burger while presenting new seafood-forward dishes that feature seasonings collected from around the world. Throughout his two-decades-long career, Pimenta has held executive chef positions at multiple Massachusetts restaurants including Ambrosia on Huntington, Les Zygomates, and Blue Ox Restaurant.
“Cooking has become more than a passion of mine, but also a lifestyle, and to be able to share an extension of my work is always exciting,” said Pimenta. “We have a brand new, eclectic menu for all different types of palates to impress each and every one of our guests.”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to be bringing a new, elevated dining experience to the Seaport area and Boston as a whole,” said Trish Berry, general manager of YOTEL Boston. “It’s been a nearly two-year-long journey, and we’re over the moon to finally get to share it with our local community.”
Following the dining experience, guest are welcome to visit the restaurant’s sister outlet, the rooftop bar, Deck 12, for a separate menu of food and beverages.
