    Great menu with a nice balance of seafood and meats uniquely prepared. We decided on the Tuna Crudo special with sits between an appetizer and a full entree. High quality, perfectly prepared. Very tasty!

    Both of our meals were very good. The server Diedre was very engaging and promised to remember us for our next visit. When we were there for our anniversary we were greeted with a glass of champagne but not this time for my wife's birthday.

    Superb service from Tash. Love that the wine list mark up is reasonable. Deliciously prepared oysters, grouper and redfish. We had a leisurely dinner and didn’t feel like they were rushing us to turn the table. Overall - delightful!

    This was our first time to Celeste. We were there for Sunday brunch and we were not disappointed. It is a beautiful place. We had a bloody Mary and a mimosa to start. Good portion and reasonably priced. My hash plate could have had a little more meat, but the potatoes and peppers were delicious. My wife had the crab cake benedict and was very happy with her choice. In looking over the menu we will be back but will be sticking to brunch and lunch ($$$)

    One of the Island’s best in terms of food, service and ambience. The octopus carpaccio was amazing as were the diver sea scallops. Good wine list.

    This was our first time enjoying dining at Celeste, and like the other restaurants in this dining group (Ela’s, Pearl), it was excellent. We really enjoyed the quiet and coastal atmosphere, including the beautiful yet unobtrusive live background music. Perfect selections for Valentine’s Day! Our cocktails(milk punch, which is hard to find) were great, as were the fried green tomatoes. Both of us enjoyed our entrees (lobster and prime rib, for a change of pa e). Our server and other wait staff were top notch, friendly, attentive, and efficient. We dine out at many fine dining spots in the area… and we’ll be back! Thank you so much for a super night out!

    Very fresh seafood, nice bar, tables are not too close together and seating is comfortable. Best gumbo I've ever had. Server was very nice, attentive, and low pressure. Would definitely go back to try some more/different menu items.
