Stopped by Celestine since I'd heard about it recently and it was such a lovely restaurant. Loved the vibe of this place with the friendly service staff, incredible dumbo views, and delicious food. This might be my new favorite restaurant in new york. I got the burger and it was solid. Probably not the best thing on the menu but I'll be back to get everything else. Can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu sometime very soon!

Cute restaurant near dumbo with fantastic views of the Brooklyn bridge. Service was fast and good. As for the food and drinks-- they were ok. - Mezze platter: 10/10 (liked the dips and the pita was ok) - Shashuka: 7/10 (ok Shashuka but wasn't too sure why they only have one bread for this dish?) - Salad: 7/10 (ok salad) - Iced americano: 3/10 (way too watery)

The spot is very lovely, with a great view of the bridge. The dinner was also quite tasty and easy to share among our group of five. We received the mezze platter, which was delicious with warm pita bread. The roasted beet salad and fish croquettes were definitely our favourites. Our wine and cocktails were also very tasty. I recommend going!

This was a lovely spot for brunch and the views of the Manhattan bridge are gorgeous. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The fries were okay but very hot and fresh. The buttermilk pancakes were average but the berry butter was quite nice. The Raspberry Rickey is refreshing and delicious, highly recommend! It took a while for someone to come by and take our order but that was fine since it was just only one person taking orders and checking up on all of the tables.

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.

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!
