Came to Celestine for lunch after attending an event in the area. The views you get of the city and the Brooklyn bridge was amazing. I bet at night time it will be beautiful. The food was AMAZING! We got their Buttermilk Pancakes, they were soft and fluffy. My husband got their shashuka and it was also amazing! The poutine was to die for. Will definitely visit again whenever we are back in Dumbo! read more

Went to Celestine to celebrate a huge career achievement- it was amazing! had the mezze platter, the hamachi, pistachio pesto and the branzino between 3 (hungry) people. Everything was super fresh and delicious! Special shoutout to the hamachi, paired great with fresh citrus :) Everyone said it was one of the top 5 meals they have had in NYC! Will return in the future! read more

An exquisite mediterranean restaurant located right in Dumbo. We had a view of the Manhattan bridge while tasting not only exceptional food but delicious cocktails. Our server was polite and gave fabulous insight into the menu and cocktail options as well. Truly a highlight of our trip to the city and will be back. read more

What a treat! Will definitely return to sample more delicious food. The entrance is a bit hidden--took some time to find the sign hidden by shrubbery, pointing to the entrance around the corner. Make reservations, as this place fills up and there aren't that many tables available. Indoors and outdoors offer great vibes. Outdoors, you get the spectacular views of Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. Indoors, you still get that view, plus chic vibes with tasteful background music. Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Perfect for a date or any kind of family & friends gathering. Staff are impeccably available, courteous and helpful. Every person we interacted with (and that was over five people, from the hostess to bartenders to waiters to bus boys) made us feel comfortable and at ease. Food was superb. Everything we ate was top quality. $25 grilled octopus appetizer was perfectly executed--the octopus melted on the tongue and all the other ingredients on the plate created a perfect symphony of flavors. $34 trout was a solid piece of tender fish. Wish couscous was replaced with something else. This was a balanced meal for anyone who wants a good amount of protein and minimum carbs. $32+ pistachio pesto pasta with morels and green peas stole the show. That PESTO was the best I could remember having. Packed the flavor. You could taste the ingredient quality. The pasta was perfectly chewy and the portion was massive. You'll be so full. We added the crab as a protein to it for additional charge and that was THE move! Woooow! This was a dish I'll crave for the next foreseeable future. Such a decadent treat. You'll be so carb loaded and happy, with all that incredible pesto coating every morsel of, you won't know what hit you. Definitely try this. I'm not a pasta person and I'm recommending! $14 chocolate tart was a bit too dense (the dry crust) and drier than I expected. Still tasty if you're craving a chocolate dessert that's not too sweet. Big portion to share amid 2-3 people. The star of the show was the $17 basque cheesecake. Ooooooh heavens! So decadent and satisfying. Not too sweet. Not too rich. Just perfect to end the night on a high note. We ordered a looooot of alcohol, and that ran up the tab pretty high. $20 amaro flight was an interesting experience: all very similar yet distinct flavors. Beers were light and good. $20 Athens martini was definitely not for everyone. $20 laphroig scotch was a stunner. Good quality liquor all in all. read more

What a charming oasis in a busy Dumbo area. Their location is ideal. You get to enjoy gorgeous views, outdoor terrace and delicious food while being far enough from the crowds and noise (minus the trains running on manhattan bridge). The food is great. Portions are decent size, fresh and full of flavor. The only dish that was underwhelming was the octopus appetizer- few pieces were very chewy unfortunately. Drinks were awesome - everyone in our party enjoyed their craft cocktails. read more

A gem! My friend's and I are here for new years brunch. I accidentally made an error when booking the reservation and they were able to swiftly accommodate us. For brunch, we ordered the buttermilk pancakes, eggs Norwegian, burger, and chicken salad sandwich. Everyone enjoyed their food. I appreciated that the eggs Norwegian was the perfect portion size and the smoked salmon was delicious. If you're looking for a lovely restaurant with views in Dumbo, this spot checks that box. read more

Celestine, located in the iconic and picturesque Dumbo section of Brooklyn offers a truly breathtaking dining experience. The space is a beautiful blend of clean lines and comfy appointments offering both inside and outdoor seating with spectacular views of the water, Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline The eclectic Mediterranean-inspired menu is expertly executed and showcases a curated collection of delectable bites and a beautiful compliment of wine and cocktail selections. On our most recent visit to this amazing space, for brunch, we indulged in the Hamachi Crudo and the Bronzino with shaved fennel, oro blanco and mint along with a fruity, full-bodied Valpolicella Ripasso. The flavor combination of the oro blanco and mint with the delicately-seasoned and perfectly prepared bronzino translated into magic. The dish is light but completely satisfying in every way! Beyond the stunning presentation of the Hamachi Crudo, the bright vinaigrette, citrus and olives were all-star compliments to the fresh and light fish. absolute deliciousness!! Celestine is a sensational find and a highly recommended must-try for Mediterranean food lovers!! I definitely suggest a reservation, as the restaurant fills up fast and walk-in seating is not widely available. read more

Came to Celestine right after exploring the Brooklyn Flea Market, and it was the perfect spot to unwind. We sat in the indoor patio area with a beautiful view of the Brooklyn Bridge, which really elevated the whole brunch experience. We ordered from the brunch menu--started with the strawberry burrata, which was super refreshing and light, perfect for a warm day. I got the Eggs Norwegian, and while the salmon skin was a bit salty, the egg and everything else helped balance it out nicely. For drinks, we had one mocktail and a blueberry shrub cocktail--which was light, tangy, and refreshing. If you like your drinks a little stronger, I'd recommend adding vodka to it for an extra kick. What really made the experience even more special was that they surprised me with a graduation gift at the end of the meal. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made the whole visit feel that much more memorable. Definitely a spot I'd return to--great food, amazing views, and even better hospitality. read more

My son planned a special dinner for the last night of my visit in Brooklyn. He knew how I loved the view of the Brooklyn & Manhattan Bridges in Dumbo. The site also holds historical significance as it's the location where George Washington crossed into Manhattan after the Battle of Brooklyn during the Revolutionary War. The escape with his troops under the cover of night was an awesome feat. Celestine is a special location with two glass walls providing a fantastic view of both the Brooklyn & Manhattan Bridges. The elegant restaurant offers a menu featuring Mediterranean cuisine. My son chose our shared appetizer, the Mezzi Platter, which was amazing. The Greek Flatbread was hot, soft & made enormously tasty with seasoning & olive oil. The dippings were Baba Ganoush, Hummus & Muhammara. After trying each I became a huge fan of the Baba Ganoush. A second serving of the Flatbread certainly blew my diet, but was completely irresistible. My son & I both chose the Steelhead Trout with Romano Beans, Confit Tomatoes & Raita. Our entree was 5 Stars. I had been tempted to order a number of appetizers instead of an entree because the Golden Beets with Caraflex Cabbage, Winter Radish, Sesame Seeds topped with Tumeric Vinaigrette sounded wonderful. The Spanish Octopus with Charred Eggplant & Spiced Chickpeas would have been my second appetizer. My Grandson's choices were the Little Gem Caesar Salad, which definitely wasn't little. As a side he chose French Fries with Harissa Aioli. How could I forget the drinks? I chose the Mediterranean Martini, the mixture being Vodka, Mediterranean Gin, Lillet Blanc, Rosemary & Caper Berry. This was the best Martini I've ever tasted. My son chose the Phoney Negroni Mocktail & Iced Tea. Never do I order dessert! But my son wanted to see the dessert menu. I shouldn't have even looked. But I did. And wonder of wonders I saw Pistachio Ice Cream, my favorite. I absolutely had to have it! Sigh..... Diet really blown now. Service was exceptional. All our requests & needs were promptly met. The restaurant has a wraparound deck where one can survey the exceptional view from the exterior of the restaurant. We decided to descend to street level & walk to the lookout area of Brooklyn Bridge Park. Celestine checks all the boxes. Location, menu, service & view make this a 5 Star review. read more

Celestine is in a beautiful modern building right by the water. We were a bit early for our reservation so nearby we took some gorgeous evening pictures by the Manhattan Bridge Lookout. When we arrived, we were seated by a window with a beautiful view of the bridges. We informed our servers that it was our mom's birthday, and asked if they do anything for birthdays. They don't, but they added a candle to our dessert. We ordered the crab casarecce, the pistachio pesto, and the steelhead trout. The pasta was al dente. The crab pasta was spicy with some zesty citrus, the pesto was rich and savory with peas and mushrooms, and the trout was tender with its couscous and tangy yogurt sauce. We liked them all well enough but they were pricey. For drinks, my mom and sister got the cactus paloma and the aphrodite. My sister said they were okay. And for dessert, the basque cheesecake was rich and paired well with passionfruit sauce. There was a period of time where the table next to us had their phone flashlights on bright, trying to read their bill because of the dim mood lighting. Service was perfectly nice but we would have loved it if the restaurant provided something for birthday guests. We had a very nice evening, but for the price, probably will be looking elsewhere for future special occasions! read more

What a lovely restaurant for brunch on a Sunday morning. Fantastic views of the East River and NYC. We showed up with a reservation and ran into some friends. The staff was very accommodating to get us a bigger table. Food was fresh and delicious. Absolutely loved the warm flat breads and could've eaten many more. They were happy to make changes in food preparations. Overall excellent meal and experience. read more

We went to Celestine on Valentine's Day! It was $130 per person. It included a salad, entree, and dessert. The only choice was the entree and it was between halibut and waygu steak. My husband and I both got the waygu. It was yum! The salad wasn't my favorite but I think they picked it cause it was pink for Valentine's Day. Celestine has a special place in our hearts because three years ago we ate at Celestine after we got engaged. The ambiance is always nice! read more

This restaurant is on one of those 'best places to eat in New York with a view' lists. The view looks out onto the Manhattan Bridge; it's quite loud outside but inside the restaurant doesn't get any of the noise pollution. There is a little park in back of the restaurant next to the water that you can explore before/after your meal. On the weekends they have a brunch menu - the omelette has chorizo, peppers, onions and has an aioli on top. The omelette is very, very thick and seems more like a quiche honestly. A third of the plate is taken up by an arugula salad which is pretty bare bones and unfortunately includes arugula (so bitter). The aioli makes the omelette (which is already very heavy) even heavier. Buttermilk pancakes - pretty standard pancakes with plenty of syrup on the side, and a beautiful red berry butter. This is again pretty simple, though. I think if you want the view you can just hang out at the park and don't need to eat here. The view itself from within the restaurant is only really amazing from one or 2 tables right at the corner. Otherwise there's a pole and some greenery that obscure the view a bit. read more

Timely service and friendly servers, lots of tables inside and out, a very fun but grounded vibe. Nice lighting inside for dinner, felt a bit intimate. My friends liked the fries and the chicken dish. The Hamachi Crudo was really tasty (probably the best thing I ate that night), but the way it was presented had my friends thinking it was raw chicken! Maybe some cleaner slices presented a different way would fit the dish better. My other friend and I were both disappointed by the Crab Pasta dish. Huge serving of pasta which was good, and there was a decent amount of crab, but both servings were dry, and the flavor was pretty bland unfortunately. Pasta itself was cooked fine. We came here for my birthday, and even though we didn't order a dessert, they gifted me with a small plate of chocolate bark and a candle, which I really appreciated! I'd give this place another try. read more

We went to Celestine to celebrate New Year's Eve! The restaurant is small and cozy with views of the Manhattan Bridge and the East River. Not every table has a great view so roll the dice and hope you get lucky. Now for the food, since it was NYE, it was a pre fixe menu. 3 appetizers, 1 main (there were two options) and 1 dessert. We ordered two drinks, Passionfruit Cooler and an Old Fashioned. The cooler tasted like cheap juice. The old fashioned was super sweet. I thought I was drinking Coke. For the first app, we had the Blue Point Oyster. The oyster was fresh, succulent and mignonette sauce was well made. The course was small but delicious. The second app, Hamachi Crudo. My personal favorite dish of the entire night. The plating was beautiful. The fish was covered in an amazing citrus flavored sauce (Sicilian red orange vinaigrette). The third app, Honeynut Squash Risotto. Made well with white truffle, flavors were hitting. Since there were two of us, we got the Poached Lobster and Wagyu Striploin. The Poached Lobster course was generously portioned. The scallops were buttery and cooked extremely well. The sauce was a tad salty. The wagyu striploin course was also generously portioned. It was perfectly cooked to medium rare. The mushrooms and carrots on the side were delicious. The dessert was bad. The Tuxedo Cake was a beautifully wrapped present but when you opened it all you found was coal. It was dry and had an odd taste. It was stiff and seemed to have been taken out of the freezer earlier during the service. The service was alright. When we sat down, the table next to us was two courses ahead of us, but at the end of the meal we were having dessert when they just received their mains. They seem quite unhappy during the wait. They sat there for a while without any food, looking confused as to why the people around them were being served their main courses before they were. The staff did not offer any explanations or apologies. Overall, the food was good. Some courses were small and dessert was just bad. Drinks were a miss for us. Service is a hit or a miss, depending on who you get. Views is luck of the draw. Price point is not good. $190 per person before tip and tax. The NYE dinner menu came with complimentary champagne that was mid. read more

Cute restaurant near dumbo with fantastic views of the Brooklyn bridge. Service was fast and good. As for the food and drinks-- they were ok. - Mezze platter: 10/10 (liked the dips and the pita was ok) - Shashuka: 7/10 (ok Shashuka but wasn't too sure why they only have one bread for this dish?) - Salad: 7/10 (ok salad) - Iced americano: 3/10 (way too watery) read more

The views are gorgeous, the space is dreamy, but sadly, the food didn't match the setting. I came to Celestine for a slow morning solo breakfast and ordered the breakfast bowl. It sounded promising, but it was mostly quinoa and farro, which leaned bland and dry. I kept hoping for a burst of flavor or something to tie it all together, but it never really delivered. Beautifully plated, but underwhelming. Service was kind and the location can't be beat. It's a small restaurant with big aesthetic appeal, and I can definitely see the draw for photos or drinks with friends. Pro tip: make a reservation. It fills up quickly, and seating is limited, especially on weekends. Hoping it was just an off day--would love to give it another try with a different dish. read more

I've been to Celestine twice now, one of them being last night, and don't know if something changed, but definitely thought the food was better the first time around. Our rez was at 630pm on Friday evening and I was pretty surprised how empty it was -- I remember a time when it used to be hard to get a rez here! First let's talk location. The location is absolutely stunning! I know many acquaintances who've hosted special events in their outdoor area which over sees the manhattan and brooklyn bridge -- it can't be beat! The interior is also bright, open, and well decorated, and at night, it's beautifully romantic. Now for the food, keep in mind that when we went last night, we had asked to keep the salt to a minimum level if possible due to a dietary restriction for one of us, and that definitely can influence the taste. However, I did ask for salt on the side and didn't think adding it made much of a difference (I know cooking it and sprinkling it on top isn't the same). Anywho, we started with the mezze, crudite, caeser and octopus, then the steak, chicken, squash and pesto pasta, with carrots and fries on the side. The squash was the main standout and unfortunately the rest was just FINE - neither here nor there. Mezze was bland, octopus was ok, the steak fell flat, and the carrots were a miss. They use a lot of mint and tahini in their dishes which I love! but some people don't, so keep that in mind. Lastly, I would 100% skip the dessert - words I never thought I'd say. Despite it not being busy, the service wasn't great. Not bad by any means but our server kept apologizing saying things will come right out. For example, the crudite arrived after we had finished all the other apps! Given all of the above, I think the best target patron would be those going on date #2 - 5 bc they are probably looking for a romantic ambiance, not really concerned about the food taking away or adding too much to the overall experience, and you're really just there to enjoy the view and each other's presence. Won't be back unfortch! read more

Recently stopped in and even on a super rainy day, Celestine still offered up beautiful views and a warm atmosphere. Service was wonderful (and always remember that politeness counts and you'll get it ten-fold in return). Cocktails were yummy (yes, to a spicy bloody Mary) and the hamachi and gem salad were shareable and delicious. Don't skip on the shakshuka if you're a fan. You won't be sorry. (Also at the table, branzino, yum, and the steak). read more

We had the most amazing time here celebrating my friends birthday. We were sat immediately when we arrived for our reservation. The service was outstanding!

We were all stuffed and you seriously cannot beat that waterfront view! read more

For our anniversary dinner, we decided to dine at Celestine. Since it's the middle of summer, we booked a table on the patio to enjoy the Al Fresco dining. The restaurant was quite busy on Friday night. The vibe was casual, and the entire restaurant had glass walls that provided an amazing view of the East River, Brooklyn Bridge, and the breathtaking skyline of Manhattan. The menu consisted of one page for food and another for drinks. We started with a bottle of Rosé and ordered mezze, which included hummus, flatbread, and braised lamb croquettes since the cuisine was Mediterranean. The appetizers were flavorful and came in good portions. For our main course, I ordered the pork porterhouse served with watercress, mustard, and pickled garlic, while my partner chose the trout with cucumber and raita. Unfortunately, we had to return the trout as it was undercooked. We didn't make a big deal out of it, but we were slightly disappointed and took a star off for that. Overall, the experience was mostly positive. The staff were genuinely attentive and friendly. However, we felt that the prices were a bit on the high side for what was offered. read more

Celestine, a fun little brunch spot in DUMBO! Made a reservation a week in advance (highly recommended) and was blown away by this cute little place. My boyfriend has been to Celestine a number of times, however, this was his first time dining for brunch and we were both not disappointed. The vibes are incredible and the views of the Manhattan Bridge are breathtaking! The service was on point and very attentive. The food was incredible! (See Below for what we indulge in): Appetizer: Mezze Platter (the baba ganoush was out of this world!) Main Dishes: Shakshuka (you can never go wrong with this dish! The eggs were perfect) Mortadella Sandwich (my boyfriend said the sandwich changed his life and that it was so elevated) Side: French fries (so so so good! Cooked to perfection) The only thing that I did not like was the fact that everything came out at once and we were overwhelmed. Would definitely come back to Celestine for dinner, such a wonderful spot! read more

My husband and I came to Celestine to celebrate our wedding anniversary and had a really wonderful time. We came for an early dinner and immediately loved how gorgeous the interior is, particularly the view! I had seen in other reviews that because of the proximity to the Manhattan bridge that it can be loud outside due to passing trains, so we were content and happy to have a gorgeous view on the inside of the restaurant. The servers were warm, accommodating, and thoughtful. We ordered the buccatini with pesto, chicken with chimichurri, and chilled asparagus w/ mint. Everything was excellent and I'm still thinking about our food today! Would definitely recommend and eager to visit again! read more

Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed from our experience at Celestine. We decided to book reservations for this place for our 3 year anniversary due to the incredible view. We made reservations 3 weeks ahead of time when there were still reservations available for all time slots. We requested seats with a nice view of the bridge for this special occasion, but they placed us right by the front of the restaurant where the view of the bridge was completely blocked by a cement pillar. :( Overall, the food was as expected-- decent, but we came for the view! All the top rated items that we saw online weren't on the menu so we ordered the eggplant mezze, cod croquettes, mussel toast, and squash. Eggplant was the highlight that tasted great with the flat bread. Cod croquettes had a nice crunch and spice level but a tiny bit fishy tasting. The mussel toast was super sharp with TONS of garlic and loads of butter; it was a little too intense. The squash was also nice, but not extremely flavorful. The host and waitress were extremely kind! The staff is super friendly and we were super pleased by the service they provided. Overall, definitely worth it if you can lock in a great table with a wonderful view of the bridge. However, that seems to be a gamble even when you put that specific request in. Also, there were a handful of rats running around outside and a couple massive mosquitoes trying to fly out through the glass windows next to us. read more

Fantastic restaurant with a gorgeous view. Right in Dumbo on the waterfront this a greta place to relax and take in some iconic NYC skyline and bridge views. The martini I had was made perfectly to order and the bartender was prompt and friendly. I enjoyed the burette appetizer and the squash as the main and both were delicious.

In my old age (36), I've developed a set of criteria for brunch places, one that probably knocks out most hype beasts. My root philosophy is that brunch is best used for catching up with friends. NYC, please give the frenetic energy the morning off and serve me a soothing balm for my fevered soul. Back to the brunch spot: it has to take reservations, and it can't hustle people out of their tables after 90 minutes. The vibes need to be calm, maybe even lethargic. The food should be serviceable but doesn't need to knock my socks off; eggs and toast are not going to change the world. A view or some vibes are an added bonus. From my perspective, Celestine nails all the things I consider essential in a brunch spot. First, there's that million-dollar view. There's not a bad seat in the house; you're guaranteed a panorama of either the Brooklyn or Manhattan Bridge, and possibly both. The menu and the space both feel comfortably small; not too many options, not too cramped. The food leans Mediterranean; the mezze appetizer plate my friends and I shared was excellent. You won't find instagrammable novelties like Thai Diner's French toast under the mains, but my pancakes were delicious. My friends fought over the burger and mortadella sandwich, and portions were hearty. A nice selection of cocktails and wines complemented the food. No line out the door, very solid food, nothing but tranquility and good vibes. I think Celestine is my ideal. read more
