We were seated for almost 20 minutes before someone asked if we’d been helped or wanted water. We normally would have left but like the restaurant very much and had the patience that night. Once waitress finally realized she had our table she was very pleasant and the manager comp’d our first cocktail.

Each time we dine there it’s a pleasure and a taste treat ! The service from Tash and the wait staff is great. And the star is the cuisine ! Repeatedly, the Filet is outstanding, as is the fish. We keep growing in our admiration of Celeste.

As part time HHI residents, we are ecstatic to have just discovered Celeste and wish we would have found it much sooner. Our first experience was fantastic. Deidre, our server, was tremendous! Selections and quality of food, drink menu, atmosphere were all amazing. Definitely a keeper and we’ll go back again soon to keep trying more appetizers, salads, and entrees! We were too full to try dessert.

Our son and his girlfriend came in for Christmas so we took them to Celeste for dinner and as always we had an incredible meal and superb service. Food and presentation were fantastic and our server was just amazing can’t wait to get back. This is a must if you’re in the area Celeste never disappoints.

First time at Celeste…. Beautiful restaurant and unpretentious. We were late arriving in HHI and maitre’d pleasantly gave us a later reservation and said not to worry that we would arrive in our travel clothes. We arrived one hour before closing and stayed one hour after closing. Our server, Tash, was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations for entree, red snapper special. She was a pleasure to talk with. Maitre d was a hoot in his Christmas “dinner jacket “. All in all was a great time and a welcome finish to a very stressful travel day.

Dinner at Celeste on Christmas Eve was lovely. Our food was delicious — roasted beet salad, prime rib special, Brussels sprouts. Our server, Tosh, was a delight; she is personable and professional and it is always good to see her.
