    Celeste is always a pleasant experience, and there are not too many restaurant venues to choose from in South County. Unfortunately the delicious moules marinieres were lukewarm. The server apologized and took them back, then returned with a still lukewarm dish, which we ate. The good news was that they did not charge us. The staff is outstanding and very anxious to please.

    As always, the Coast Guard House lived up to its excellent reputation for outstanding food, service, and friendliness. The menu options and wine choices are also excellent. Very highly recommended. It also happens to be a very historic building that was repurposed very appropriately into the excellent restaurant that it is and continues to be.

    We know the head chef was out which was disappointing, leaving a few specialities off the menu. My wife’s scallops were a little over-salted and a couple of them were slightly overcooked. Other than that everything was delicious. The oysters were delicious, the antipasto skewer was generous and tasty as was the house salad. For entrees they were incredibly generous portions, the risotto with the pork chop and pork chop itself were amazing. The value for this whole experience was incredible, and our server Tara did an amazing job even though she had the bar and sunroom all by herself. That being said she kept up with everyone, made great suggestions and was a great server! We will definitely be returning! (This was our first visit, for our 39th anniversary!). Thanks!
