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.

Can't speak on the food because we didn't even make it that far. We walk in with a group of 5 and we see another group of about 8 waiting. They had opened 20 minutes prior to us arriving so we were pretty shocked to see the workers moving about and passing us by with not one acknowledgment. Not one. My sister was not going to have that type of treatment no matter the view or how expensive it is. Needless to say this establishment lost good customers and a Yelp elite reviewer simply because the half dozen or so employees who clearly saw us gave us no indication that we would be helped anytime soon. Their loss.

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!

At Celestine, you'll love the setting and of course the view right away. You are looking right over to Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan. It's amazing! I had the citrus salad which was delicious and beautiful. The wine gave us some trouble as we ordered and two came to taste. They were switched so we couldn't figure which was which anymore and were given the wrong one at the end. Apart from that, it's a very nice place for a romantic dinner.

gorgeous views and ambiance would have been nice except that the place was large and echo-y; my friend and I could barely hear one another at brunch. Food was fine, not superlative - try it out by all means (or find someplace a bit more quiet and not as pricy).

Celestine is a classy gem in Dumbo located on the water with amazing views. I went with two of my girlfriends, good cocktails and wine selection. The mezze appetizer was great- esp the pistachio based dip and the flatbread. For my entree I got the wagyu steak and it was very flavorful and perfectly cooked. One drawback was the restaurant seemed short staffed so service was slower than expected.

Celestine is excellent. There is also a beautiful view from the back patio.

Celestine is under the Manhattan Bridge and right on the water providing diners with amazing views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan and the East River. The cocktails, service and wine list are all excellent. The food is very good although clearly not the main attraction. Certainly an enjoyable evening.

Lovely place to enjoy a light brunch with a spectacular view of the city. Would definitely recommend the white fish and egg on toast. The labneh was nice, but the restaurant charges extra for the accompanying flatbread. Overall, we had a great experience here!
Be the first to ReplyGreat spot with views of the city.
Solid food for the price and a nice addition to DUMBO
Be the first to ReplyI'm giving this 3 stars mostly for the view.
The service was great but the food was not to my liking. The margarita was just not good and although the salt was pretty, it was not salty. The pistachio feta and bread was delicious but all the other stuff was not at all. I ordered the lamb skewers and I'd say they were mediocre. My husband ordered the spaghetti and it was way over done. Mushy. He didn't finish his dish. The Brussel sprouts were amazing and we ate every one of them. The Leak and Brie was super watery. Not good. And there was fuzz on the plate of olives. Maybe there's some other good stuff on the menu, unfortunately we didn't have good luck.

Amazing food, beautiful view of the bridge, highly recommend! Perfect for a date night or a special occasion.

The menu is limited, but delicious. Small kitchen and bar. Lovely last minute brunch.

Came here on a Thursday night to celebrate a friends Birthday. The only thing I would ever come back is for the view... It's definitely a great view of the Manhattan Bridge but CAUTION: if you do sit by the window (which is probably the best views in the restaurant) you WILL see a few rats run by. It is NY so you see rats quite often but its still not the best thing to see while you're eating overpriced food.Honestly, the food wasn't bad. My friend and I ordered the Mezze Platter and Branzino with a side of Fried Brussels Sprouts to share. The reason why I gave this place a 3/5 was the egregiousness of charging for flatbread ($3 each for a small flatbread) that usually comes standard with Mezze at other establishments. Granted, this is NY and almost everything is overpriced and I haven't been to ALL restaurants that serve Mezze but in the good amount of places I have been, flatbread of some kind is complimentary??? So on top of the Mezze Platter being $27 we had to pay $3 for flatbread to eat with the Mezze and another $10 for the crudite. So Mezze + flatbread + Crudite = $40. Just no.

I've been wanting to try this place forever and I finally made it out for brunch and it absolutely did not disappoint! The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the ambiance is beautiful, fun and lively. We got the mezze and zataar bread which was perfect and the Caesar Salad with Shrimp and pesto scramble. Loved everything! Highly recommend

It was my first visit to this restaurant HThe view from the restaurant was absolutely amazing... the location is off the water where one could view the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. This establishment is best described as a "hot spot" for great ambience. However, the menu is compromised of some crazy food combinations--fusion somethings such as fried gnocchi (over cooked and crunchy) with browned veggies. Unfortunately, we found a piece of a cracked egg shell in our plate. The small starters such as the pita bread is served warm, tasteless with a smear of olive oil and maybe pesto in a small plate that gets cold in minutes... save it as a souvenir to throw around later like a Frisbee. The Brussel sprouts were a travesty burnt mixed with some parmesam chess on to p in an effort to disguise the sheer horror of being overcooked. Imagine such a limited menu...I ordered the overpriced (half a piece) of branzino over a puree white veggie (that I couldn't describe). There was a very limited cocktail menu imaginative in nature. What's ridiculous is that this isn't really a dinner spot. It's a pre-dinner, small bite dining experience with exaggerated prices, very small plates of overcooked food! The food is so, so indescribably bad that the desserts are all fancy sorbets hidden under crazy type toppings. This is a place to visit to take your Instagram pics. Otherwise, eat before you arrive and stash your own cocktails to go (from a real bar) in your car. The service... not to complain or anything, just like the wannabe chef should have been trained at a culinary institution. I never saw a place to put my fur, so we slung it on the extra chair. I'm sad to write this review. We arrived hungry, paid our expensive bill, went home and prepared a real meal on my birthday . Dear readers... if you are looking for a romantic place to eat a hot meal this isn't your vibe. This gorgeously situated eatery is a reminder of what this great city has lost-- post pandemic REAL CHEFS, REAL RESTAURANTS. This type of foolishness is indicative of the lost to the industry, the absence of authentic REAL dining experiences run by culinary professionals. EAT. AT. HOME

Loved the mezze platter (hummus and labneh most), scallops were excellent and the apple crisp dessert was the perfect end. I also loved their yuzu pear mocktail! Superb date night spot with views of the bridge.
Be the first to ReplyCame here with a reservation and sat outside (lunch).
The ambiance really set the tone for how nice this restaurant was. Tucked away from the New York craziness but still full of the New York noises (can hear the trains). We ordered our drinks and got them right away. I ordered the duck hash and the three of us shared the mezze platter. The duck hash was so flavorful but light and felt healthy. I wish it was spicier & asked for hot sauce and got a sauce that wasn't spicy at all but I ended up using the spicy dip from the platter!The espresso martini definitely hit the spot on the rainy day overlooking the bridge.

Ambience is nice, the food and service are a different story. Might consider going back for the view but definitely not the food.
Be the first to ReplyI was disappointed with my meal here.
I was here for my birthday dinner with my two daughters, and the view of Lower Manhattan was as fantastic as the food was forgettable. There was nothing particularly wrong, but nothing perfect about it either. The biggest disappointment was dessert, a tinny piece of Tahini Date cake that could not have been more than 2" across and 1/2" thick with a small dab of ice cream on top, all for $13. Now that's silly.

- easy reservation process- environment was fun- people can come dressed laid back or dressed up- got a nice table next to the window, under the bridge perfect view (more on that later)- the experience was easily four star I have to take a star away for the rats in my great seat next to the window, I counted ten rats running up and down the stairs I wasn't grossed out, I can see how others would be turned off - parking is not the most easiest - wonderful and friendly service good recommendations- delicious drinks- mezze plate was really good and bread was delicious- scallops were good- chicken was good- they were out of mussels :(- dessert was alright

I've come here for brunch and dinner and both times the food, service and ambiance were incredible. I love this spot. It had great views- it overlooks the water and the Brooklyn bridge. I love coming here whenever I'm in the area.
Be the first to ReplyI used to love Celestine.
I rated it years back. They used to have a killer lamb chop and a dumpling appetizer to die for. Additionally the restaurant is beautiful. But, now the menu is quite boring and it is way more expensive. I don't enjoy spending over $100 a person for middle eastern food, which happens to be one of my favorite foods. Small chicken dishes and pieces of fish just don't cut it for these prices. I ordered a dip and guess what, it comes with nothing to eat it with. You have to purchase pita, or veggies labeled as another appetizer. Having lived in the city for 20+ years I've seen that restaurants that get worse and deliver less value and raise prices usually don't last long. Truly a shame given that this place used to be a favorite.
