    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.

    Perfection! From the fried green tomato appetizers to the strawberry cake dessert: excellence! Hubby and I both had the bone in rib eye as entrees, and it was seasoned perfectly and cooked just right. Service was great, we were not rushed. We will definitely return!

    how do ruin an otherwise nice meal? you make your patrons sit for 30 min before even taking our drink order. The server/service was so bad that we were literally ready to walk out as it took so long to even be acknowledged at our table. he did apologize for the slow service but didn't do anything to make up for it. enough on the service(or lack there of). the food was good, seasoned well, presented well but the portions seemed small compared to the cost and the driver scallops order had 4 unevenly sized scallops that left us wondering if we got one that was too big or 3 that were too small. The searing on the scallops was perfect though. the decor of the restaurant and the host were very nice but not enough to overcome the service experience. while this was our first time at the restaurant, it will probably be our last as there are other restaurants in the area worth trying before we would go back

    Server was great. Some entrees were delicious and some not. One order of grouper was not completely cooked. I absolutely hate seeing a surcharge for using a credit card. Credit cards are a cost of doing business. Please do not nickel and dime me. I’ll not return as long as this policy is in place.
