I can't seem to get past the Bacon Burger, it's incredible! I drive an hour and a half to get there, and it's incredible every time! Well worth the drive.
This used to be one of my favorite places to dine- food, atmosphere, service was incredible. Recently, there has been a new bar manager there who ruins the entire experience. He is rude, short tempered, and has no business running a restaurant. Makes me sad for employees and other patrons. Will not be going back.
Bartender had a poor attitude

My husband and I were first timers. This place did not disappoint. The food was amazing and the customer service was impeccable. We’re adding this spot to our rotation and may return sooner than later. I highly recommend. Our server, Alex, was the best!

Went there last tuesday. The lady who was our waitress seemed to also be bartending. Right after she took our orders she never came back, never checked to see if we wanted another empty drink, etc. Except the second I took out my vape (didn't even use it) she snapped at me from across the restaurant from behind the bar…. We were just surprised. Never would you expect to be snapped at. I am a waitress as well and I would never imagine snapping at a customer, and plenty of them have vapes. This was my first experience there, it was extremely unprofessional snd disrespectful.

Dark and cozy! Great service. Food was good but not mind blowing but it’s tavern fare not fine dining..would go again.

Omg what a cute fun little gem! I was not expecting this vibe here! We went out looking for some good food mainly and drinks second after a long rough day. We heard about this place from the front desk girl at Middletown Inn but it sounded like either straight Irish restaurant or like mainly pub food and beer. Wow. What an understatement! The word gastropub doesn't even begin to give justice to this place! The food was sooooo good. Everything we had from the shrimp, which were the perfect amount of buttery and spicy, to the steak skewers that tasted like they belonged in a fine dining menu. Even the humble fried chickpeas were addictive. We could've stayed there all evening eating lol but the drinks were also soooo good that we got trashed and had to walk it off home lol. We had a Lavender cocktail which couldn't easily been way too sweet or unbalanced but it was perfection. Should be the damn drink of the summer.
Besides that, the college age kids who run the bar and serve the cocktail tables were so cool and chill and friendly without being weird or over eager. It was the perfect service and far more attentive than many expensive restaurants I've been to. You expect the service to be way less detailed at a bar but not here. These kids have a great little spot here and I hope they keep it up for the next time we are in town.

I’ve been here a couple times and for me it’s always hit or miss. I went a week ago and had the meatloaf for dinner. I got extremely sick from it and still am a week later. I’m disappointed because I want to like this place so bad.

Celtic is fantastic. Twice now I've had the shrimp and grits once there and once takeout. Both incredible. The grits set up a little more on the way home and there more creamy. My new favorite restaurant and dish.
Great food, excellent prices, and the drinks were on point. Recommended.

What a wonderful hidden gem we found! I contemplated not leaving a review because when everyone finds out how great this establishment is, that doesn't already know, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a seat to dine in!
The whole entire staff works in unison along with the owner to deliver you the most unbelievable dining experience. We have tried a good number of items on the menu including daily specials, they are all cooked to literal perfection! The menu items that we have tried more than once are prepared and presented exactly the same way each time consistently. Much care and attention to detail is given to provide such a wonderful experience!
Prices are reasonable in my opinion you get much more than you pay for!
This is our new "go to" place, please save us a seat as we will be anything but "regular" return patrons!

Definitely a FAVE! ALWAYS a fabulous meal. Today's Gumbo was right out of New Orleans, or BETTER!
Vegetarian options: The Menu has options and they will cater to your needs.
Dietary restrictions: Same as above
Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator into the Basement location. Worth the ride! ?
