Nice place, very beautiful location! It's a place for a date, but not for celebrating a holiday! The food was not very understandable for me!

Would highly recommend this restaurant! My partner and I booked a reservation here for our anniversary dinner, and the whole evening was absolutely wonderful. We did have a reservation for a Thursday evening, so the atmosphere was a bit more quiet and intimate, which was perfect for our celebration.

When I booked online, I made a note that we’d be celebrating our anniversary and would love to be sat near the window to have the full view of the bridge! When we arrived, they surprised us with complimentary champagne and a congratulations on our anniversary. It was totally unexpected, but so sweet. They even took it a step further to adorn our desserts at the end of the evening with chocolates that said “happy anniversary” as well. The attention to those small details meant so much to us, and made the night that much more special.

Our waiter was lovely, and all our food was prepared and brought to our table incredibly quickly. We were able to take our time, enjoy the food, have some drinks, and enjoy the view of the bridge afterward. I’m so glad I chose to spend our special day here, and I absolutely would come back again.

Absolutely amazing location for this restaurant. Started off with the grilled octopus and burrata and was not disappointed. For my main, I went with the ribeye with a side of brussel sprouts...both were delicious. But, saved the best for last with a piece of Basque cheesecake with berry compote and chocolate sorbet. The flavors and creaminess of that dessert was spectacular. Great place to bring a date and walk around afterwards.

I recently had the pleasure of working at Celestine for a wedding, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the entire experience! From start to finish, the venue coordinator was amazing — so organized, communicative, and genuinely kind. They made my job as a planner so much easier, and everything flowed perfectly throughout the day.

The staff was incredible — attentive, professional, and always one step ahead, ensuring every detail was flawless. The atmosphere at Celestine is absolutely stunning — from the breathtaking views to the intimate, modern charm of the space, it created the perfect backdrop for a romantic celebration. And the food was simply outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

Celestine is truly a dream venue to work with, and I can’t wait to be back for another wedding soon!

I had a very disappointing experience with the hostess with short hair during my visit. From the moment we walked in she was very rude dismissive and made us feel unwelcoming. After asking her a simple question about the tables outside she said that if we anything we are more than welcome to leave. Overall very poor customer service, it was very embarrassing to encounter that in front our guessed from abroad.

This restaurant was incredible. My husband and I were visiting from Kansas City and we were wowed by Celestine. I picked it because I saw on social media what a great view it had of the bridge and was obsessed. When we got there, they seated us by the window and we literally watched the sunset behind the bridge. The walls were covered in windows, and the sunset drenched the whole restaurant. It was honestly magical. The service was great. Both the hostess who seated us and our server were very kind and reminded us to take our time and enjoy all the things. We had the Mezze Platter for appetizers, the chicken breast, and the crab pasta for entrees. So fresh and yummy. My husband also got the corn as a side and we both were obsessed with it. Perfectly seared with some sort of puree/paste under it. Amazing. We loved every minute of our reservation and were sad when we had to leave to make it to our next event.

My husband and I had dinner at Celestine before seeing a show at St. Ann’s Warehouse. The food was delicious, atmosphere cozy and staff wonderful. The cocktails are also great - try the stone fruit old fashioned!
