You can start outside and then finish your dinner inside with a view of the Brooklyn Bridge. There was no loud music, and the tables were arranged in a way that gave us our own private space. This will definitely be one of our favorite spots in New York. Thank you!

The desserts were average. However, the view was outstanding and the service was exceptional.

The service was average, but I thought the prices were a bit high. Overall, it was a decent experience for those seeking delicious meze with a view. Great vegetarian options available.

Michael at the bar is literally the best, suggest having a drink at the bar with him before moving to dining room service. He really set the mood for our night in such a beautiful and connected way. Kevin out waiter was also stellar, very attentive, and great with his entree suggestions. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We tried the gimlet, last word, old fashioned, their gin based “Whatabout,” and a cosmo. Every single one slapped (in the best way). Even when we got picky and asked for little modifications, they nailed it. Whoever’s behind that bar deserves a standing ovation or at least a round of applause before the next round of cocktails. For food, we started with arancini, burrata, beet salad, and Caesar salad. The burrata and Caesar were the headliners here creamy, fresh, crunchy, and basically making the arancini feel like a background dancer. Entrées were a whole lineup: steak, crab pasta, pork, and chicken. All tasty, but let’s be honest the steak walked on stage, stole the spotlight, and left the audience screaming. If you’re ordering one thing, let it be that. Dessert was our curtain call: chocolate tart, caramel ice cream, and cake. The chocolate tart especially? Rich, smooth, and 10/10 would not share. Between the killer drinks, the food that actually lives up to the vibe, and that unbeatable bridge side view, Celestine is officially on the “bring friends here to impress them” list!!!
