For our anniversary dinner, we decided to dine at Celestine.
Since it's the middle of summer, we booked a table on the patio to enjoy the Al Fresco dining. The restaurant was quite busy on Friday night. The vibe was casual, and the entire restaurant had glass walls that provided an amazing view of the East River, Brooklyn Bridge, and the breathtaking skyline of Manhattan. The menu consisted of one page for food and another for drinks. We started with a bottle of Rosé and ordered mezze, which included hummus, flatbread, and braised lamb croquettes since the cuisine was Mediterranean. The appetizers were flavorful and came in good portions. For our main course, I ordered the pork porterhouse served with watercress, mustard, and pickled garlic, while my partner chose the trout with cucumber and raita. Unfortunately, we had to return the trout as it was undercooked. We didn't make a big deal out of it, but we were slightly disappointed and took a star off for that. Overall, the experience was mostly positive. The staff were genuinely attentive and friendly. However, we felt that the prices were a bit on the high side for what was offered.
Be the first to ReplyGreat view! Very underwhelming food and poor service.
And expensive too. I hate that. The short rib ragu rigatoni barely had any short ribs mostly roasted peppers. Thought it was a vegetarian dish. Worst phoned-in panna cotta I've ever had. Left hungry and bummed out. Another reason to not eat out.

Overall Mixed Experience at Celestine I've visited Celestine numerous times, and it remains my go-to spot whenever I have guests in town--all thanks to the breathtaking view! Ambiance Celestine's ambiance is truly defined by its stunning view. The restaurant faces the Brooklyn Bridge and the serene waters, offering a picturesque backdrop that's particularly spectacular during summer when the terrace is open. Sipping a glass of wine while soaking in the view always leaves my friends/family in awe. Food The menu at Celestine is Mediterranean, featuring a variety of dishes that have seen some changes over time, especially among the main courses. - Mezze Platter: A flavorful assortment, but be warned -- it's loaded with garlic and crispy shallots. While delicious, the excessive garlic left me feeling parched and somewhat unwell afterward. I've regretted ordering it on multiple occasions due to this overpowering amount of garlic. - Gem Salad: Unfortunately, this dish is rather unremarkable. I wouldn't recommend it as it lacks the special touch one might expect. - Carrots: These are a standout! Deliciously prepared and a definite highlight of the menu. - Strip Steak: A disappointment. The meat was dry and lacked flavor, certainly not worth the high price tag. - Branzino: Delightfully prepared and highly recommended. It's a dish that truly shines among the whole menu (together with the carrots). Service Service at Celestine is inconsistent. On one visit, it was subpar, while on another, it was satisfactory but not exceptional. Given the high prices, there's certainly room for improvement in attentiveness and overall service quality. Overall Impression Celestine is ideal for impressing visitors with its stunning view. However, the menu could use some refinement, and the service staff would benefit from more thorough training. Despite these issues, it remains a lovely spot to enjoy the scenery. My last visit for a party of three totaled around $500, which felt steep considering the mixed quality of the food and service.

Perfect view of Manhattan Bridge, with nice outdoor seating area. Attentive and helpful service (offered to charge phone that's low on battery). Recommend ordering all the appetizers and a few mains/sides to share, instead of ordering individual mains to sample all the delicious food!
Be the first to ReplyI do enjoy going to Celestine.
It's convenient and the restaurant setting itself is really lovely. Modern, yet warm and inviting. Walls of glass all around highlighting the majestic views of the city and the DUMBO waterfront, especially at sunset. I've dined here over five times and will continue to return. We have been for dinners and also attended their Thanksgiving a few years ago. The service is good, the food is hit or miss. Usually we go with large groups and order a ton of dishes. One or two are standout, the rest are a bit flat. The kitchen makes silly mistakes like overcooking or underseasoning. For the premium prices, that really shouldn't be happening. If you rank location and vibe above price and consistency, I would recommend them. Who knows... you might just order the standout dishes that are done perfectly and have the perfect night.

Came here for my birthday, very accommodating although it's really hard to get through to talk to them on the phone. The food was excellent! wish they had more options but what they had was great! The ambiance was wonderful, and we had a table overlooking the bridge! love how intimate of a space it was, great places to take pictures outside. overall great location, great food, & great service!

Standard Mediterranean fare, done well, with seamless service. Ingredients were fresh and seasonal, was clear to notice. Menu is small but done well. Intimate ambiance.

In my old age (36), I've developed a set of criteria for brunch places, one that probably knocks out most hype beasts. My root philosophy is that brunch is best used for catching up with friends. NYC, please give the frenetic energy the morning off and serve me a soothing balm for my fevered soul. Back to the brunch spot: it has to take reservations, and it can't hustle people out of their tables after 90 minutes. The vibes need to be calm, maybe even lethargic. The food should be serviceable but doesn't need to knock my socks off; eggs and toast are not going to change the world. A view or some vibes are an added bonus. From my perspective, Celestine nails all the things I consider essential in a brunch spot. First, there's that million-dollar view. There's not a bad seat in the house; you're guaranteed a panorama of either the Brooklyn or Manhattan Bridge, and possibly both. The menu and the space both feel comfortably small; not too many options, not too cramped. The food leans Mediterranean; the mezze appetizer plate my friends and I shared was excellent. You won't find instagrammable novelties like Thai Diner's French toast under the mains, but my pancakes were delicious. My friends fought over the burger and mortadella sandwich, and portions were hearty. A nice selection of cocktails and wines complemented the food. No line out the door, very solid food, nothing but tranquility and good vibes. I think Celestine is my ideal.
Be the first to ReplyCan't speak on the food because we didn't even make it that
Can't speak on the food because we didn't even make it that far. We walk in with a group of 5 and we see another group of about 8 waiting. They had opened 20 minutes prior to us arriving so we were pretty shocked to see the workers moving about and passing us by with not one acknowledgment. Not one. My sister was not going to have that type of treatment no matter the view or how expensive it is. Needless to say this establishment lost good customers and a Yelp elite reviewer simply because the half dozen or so employees who clearly saw us gave us no indication that we would be helped anytime soon. Their loss.

Celestine, a fun little brunch spot in DUMBO! Made a reservation a week in advance (highly recommended) and was blown away by this cute little place. My boyfriend has been to Celestine a number of times, however, this was his first time dining for brunch and we were both not disappointed. The vibes are incredible and the views of the Manhattan Bridge are breathtaking! The service was on point and very attentive. The food was incredible! (See Below for what we indulge in): Appetizer: Mezze Platter (the baba ganoush was out of this world!) Main Dishes: Shakshuka (you can never go wrong with this dish! The eggs were perfect) Mortadella Sandwich (my boyfriend said the sandwich changed his life and that it was so elevated) Side: French fries (so so so good! Cooked to perfection) The only thing that I did not like was the fact that everything came out at once and we were overwhelmed. Would definitely come back to Celestine for dinner, such a wonderful spot!

At Celestine, you'll love the setting and of course the view right away. You are looking right over to Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan. It's amazing! I had the citrus salad which was delicious and beautiful. The wine gave us some trouble as we ordered and two came to taste. They were switched so we couldn't figure which was which anymore and were given the wrong one at the end. Apart from that, it's a very nice place for a romantic dinner.

gorgeous views and ambiance would have been nice except that the place was large and echo-y; my friend and I could barely hear one another at brunch. Food was fine, not superlative - try it out by all means (or find someplace a bit more quiet and not as pricy).

Celestine is a classy gem in Dumbo located on the water with amazing views. I went with two of my girlfriends, good cocktails and wine selection. The mezze appetizer was great- esp the pistachio based dip and the flatbread. For my entree I got the wagyu steak and it was very flavorful and perfectly cooked. One drawback was the restaurant seemed short staffed so service was slower than expected.

Celestine is excellent. There is also a beautiful view from the back patio.

Celestine is under the Manhattan Bridge and right on the water providing diners with amazing views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan and the East River. The cocktails, service and wine list are all excellent. The food is very good although clearly not the main attraction. Certainly an enjoyable evening.

Lovely place to enjoy a light brunch with a spectacular view of the city. Would definitely recommend the white fish and egg on toast. The labneh was nice, but the restaurant charges extra for the accompanying flatbread. Overall, we had a great experience here!
Be the first to ReplyGreat spot with views of the city.
Solid food for the price and a nice addition to DUMBO
Be the first to ReplyI'm giving this 3 stars mostly for the view.
The service was great but the food was not to my liking. The margarita was just not good and although the salt was pretty, it was not salty. The pistachio feta and bread was delicious but all the other stuff was not at all. I ordered the lamb skewers and I'd say they were mediocre. My husband ordered the spaghetti and it was way over done. Mushy. He didn't finish his dish. The Brussel sprouts were amazing and we ate every one of them. The Leak and Brie was super watery. Not good. And there was fuzz on the plate of olives. Maybe there's some other good stuff on the menu, unfortunately we didn't have good luck.

Came here on a Thursday night to celebrate a friends Birthday. The only thing I would ever come back is for the view... It's definitely a great view of the Manhattan Bridge but CAUTION: if you do sit by the window (which is probably the best views in the restaurant) you WILL see a few rats run by. It is NY so you see rats quite often but its still not the best thing to see while you're eating overpriced food.Honestly, the food wasn't bad. My friend and I ordered the Mezze Platter and Branzino with a side of Fried Brussels Sprouts to share. The reason why I gave this place a 3/5 was the egregiousness of charging for flatbread ($3 each for a small flatbread) that usually comes standard with Mezze at other establishments. Granted, this is NY and almost everything is overpriced and I haven't been to ALL restaurants that serve Mezze but in the good amount of places I have been, flatbread of some kind is complimentary??? So on top of the Mezze Platter being $27 we had to pay $3 for flatbread to eat with the Mezze and another $10 for the crudite. So Mezze + flatbread + Crudite = $40. Just no.

I've been wanting to try this place forever and I finally made it out for brunch and it absolutely did not disappoint! The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the ambiance is beautiful, fun and lively. We got the mezze and zataar bread which was perfect and the Caesar Salad with Shrimp and pesto scramble. Loved everything! Highly recommend

It was my first visit to this restaurant HThe view from the restaurant was absolutely amazing... the location is off the water where one could view the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. This establishment is best described as a "hot spot" for great ambience. However, the menu is compromised of some crazy food combinations--fusion somethings such as fried gnocchi (over cooked and crunchy) with browned veggies. Unfortunately, we found a piece of a cracked egg shell in our plate. The small starters such as the pita bread is served warm, tasteless with a smear of olive oil and maybe pesto in a small plate that gets cold in minutes... save it as a souvenir to throw around later like a Frisbee. The Brussel sprouts were a travesty burnt mixed with some parmesam chess on to p in an effort to disguise the sheer horror of being overcooked. Imagine such a limited menu...I ordered the overpriced (half a piece) of branzino over a puree white veggie (that I couldn't describe). There was a very limited cocktail menu imaginative in nature. What's ridiculous is that this isn't really a dinner spot. It's a pre-dinner, small bite dining experience with exaggerated prices, very small plates of overcooked food! The food is so, so indescribably bad that the desserts are all fancy sorbets hidden under crazy type toppings. This is a place to visit to take your Instagram pics. Otherwise, eat before you arrive and stash your own cocktails to go (from a real bar) in your car. The service... not to complain or anything, just like the wannabe chef should have been trained at a culinary institution. I never saw a place to put my fur, so we slung it on the extra chair. I'm sad to write this review. We arrived hungry, paid our expensive bill, went home and prepared a real meal on my birthday . Dear readers... if you are looking for a romantic place to eat a hot meal this isn't your vibe. This gorgeously situated eatery is a reminder of what this great city has lost-- post pandemic REAL CHEFS, REAL RESTAURANTS. This type of foolishness is indicative of the lost to the industry, the absence of authentic REAL dining experiences run by culinary professionals. EAT. AT. HOME
