I'm all for second chances... so, maybe a follow-up visit to this place will change my mind. But, as for my first experience at Celebrity Cafe... Yelp couldn't have said it better... "Meh."
Maybe it was because I was tired and (once again) craving a margarita, but the service was too slow for an empty restaurant on a Sunday night. Everything took ages to arrive, and I hate being that asshole who asks when the goddamn drinks are coming... but I had to. And then they didn't even arrive until AFTER our meal.
DRINKS: The menu seemed extensive, so maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. Although very large (which initially made me happy), the strawberry margarita was an undrinkable frozen mass with maybe a splash of tequila. I'm not one to leave drinks unfinished, but I surrendered. I would have needed a spoon to make a dent, and that's not very classy so I left unsatisfied.
FOOD: I tried the avocado/shrimp salad which was also quite large and really wasn't half bad. But the "dressing" was non-existent and the avocados weren't ripe. Once again, I've had better.
Basically at the end of the night I felt like I paid way too much for a "bummer" experience. The end. Maybe next time. read more
