Review Summary

Celeste draws praise for its stunning design, beautiful ambiance, and a dining room that feels transportive. The menu delivers high quality flavors across pastas, seafood, and salads, with the branzino and a lobster salad repeatedly highlighted as standout dishes. Espresso martinis are noted as a perfect starter and the overall food is described as incredibly fresh and delicious, with gluten free and vegan options appreciated. Service is described as warm, friendly, and knowledgeable, helping to create a relaxed and special experience, though a few reviews mention slower moments. Ambiance and decor contribute to a modern classic vibe, making Celeste feel like an ideal spot for date nights, girls nights, or family dinners. Overall, guests say they will definitely return, with many calling it an experience rather than just a meal. While some dishes like tuna carpaccio or the tartar receive mixed opinions, the overall impression is overwhelmingly positive.

Once once you enter the restaurant you get greeted by the really sweetest host ever. The restaurant is really nicely done it's gorgeous & the stock is also super nice & very sweet. They always make sure that everything is OK. The food was really delicious. I had the cannelloni pasta while my aunt had the mushroom pasta. We also took appetizers like calamari & the raw tuna. The calamari is really good same as the raw tuna & I really love the touch of sweetness that was inside. I'm not really a fan of cake but as dessert I took the chocolate cake & it was the most delicious chocolate cake I have ever tasted. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want a really nice time it's also kind of pricey, but the food makes up for it definitely will be coming back!

Celeste is one of those places that makes a night out with friends memorable. You'll remember where you sat & what you ate because the experience leaves a mark. From the moment you walk in, you'll notice the beautiful decor, the perfect lighting, the open, clean kitchen & smiling staff. Our waiter was funny & attentive & made wonderful suggestions. We ordered a good portion of the menu between 5 of us so we could taste everything & not a single dish was less than delectable. We were fighting over the branzino tartare & we ordered 2! Even the wine was perfect. The owners were very present & ensured that every patron was satisfied & taken care of. The head chef, Michael, who we discovered from his adjoining restaurant, Amea, ensured that our dishes were everything we hoped for. Everything he makes is a guaranteed delight. We will absolutely be back many times over. I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant. Come hungry!

Phenomenal service from Victor!! Exquisite flavour from Frank & his chef! If there is one dish that you need to get it's the branzino. Ambience off the charts. 100/10 recommend!! This place accommodates it all, date nights, girls night, or family night, it's the perfect place ❤?
