This was our first time enjoying dining at Celeste, and like the other restaurants in this dining group (Ela’s, Pearl), it was excellent. We really enjoyed the quiet and coastal atmosphere, including the beautiful yet unobtrusive live background music. Perfect selections for Valentine’s Day! Our cocktails(milk punch, which is hard to find) were great, as were the fried green tomatoes. Both of us enjoyed our entrees (lobster and prime rib, for a change of pa e). Our server and other wait staff were top notch, friendly, attentive, and efficient. We dine out at many fine dining spots in the area… and we’ll be back! Thank you so much for a super night out!

Very fresh seafood, nice bar, tables are not too close together and seating is comfortable. Best gumbo I've ever had. Server was very nice, attentive, and low pressure. Would definitely go back to try some more/different menu items.

This is a place for an elegant dinner crafted by a Chef who not only cooks an amazing selection of delicious foods, the Chef is an artist. Linen tablecloths and elegant tableware makes it a special event. If you want to make an impression or just simply enjoy a special dining experience, this establishment is a must attend.

This past Valentine’s Day, my husband and I enjoyed once again the pleasure of dining at this fine restaurant. Ambiance is outstanding. Unique menu, blend of flavors, preparation and presentation are the continuous features. Hubby enjoyed the special, Grouper Wellington, while I took pleasure in the Seared Scallops on a bed of polenta which was made to reflect a style of both Southern and European cooking. DELICIOUS! Miles, our server, was most gracious (as is the rest of the staff) and helpful describing the menu choices. Once again, we extend a “Thank You” to the chef and the entire staff. Looking forward to another wonderful meal in this outstanding venue not too far from the HHI bridge.
