This location is convenient and cute, but that's roughly where the pros end. I would strongly recommend getting reservations as it's a popular spot that is absolutely tiny. We had reservations and were seated quickly, but it was a struggle to both get an order in, and then be served. At one point we got up to check if they were indeed still working on our order. We also got up when we needed utensils or more water--they simply would not notice our attempts to flag down a waiter. I don't mind lack of service generally, but it really does not fit this ambiance or price point, or indeed the layout of the restaurant. I ordered the camaron al ajillo and it was served in very odd dishes. A baking...
The menu offered a variety of enticing dishes, and we ultimately chose three, which turned out to be just the right amount for two people. The ceviche was expertly prepared and delicious—no complaints there. While seafood seems to be their specialty, the meat dish we ordered was also flavorful. Additionally, the mussels and calamari were tasty; everything was quite enjoyable!
Overall, the prices felt a bit high compared to the quality and portion sizes, but I appreciated the overall experience and would definitely consider returning to try more seafood options. I would happily order the ceviche again, and the mocktail we had was delightful as well. It’s a lovely spot with appealing aestheti...
I recently dined at this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. As someone with dietary restrictions, I was pleased to find excellent gluten-free options. The service was top-notch, making me feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout my meal.
For dinner, I tried the ceviche and the mixed seafood, both of which were outstanding. The flavors were vibrant and fresh, truly a delight for the palate. The atmosphere of the restaurant was equally impressive, creating a perfect setting for an enjoyable evening.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Expect to spend around $50 to $100 per person, which is well worth it considering the qual...
The food was outstanding. I can't wait to return and sample everything else on the menu—if I can secure a reservation! When it comes to the lomo saltado, do yourself a favor and get your own; you won’t want to share a single bite of that deliciousness. It has incredible depth of flavor and a perfect balance. The pupusa was delightful, with a rich corn flavor, crispy browned edges, fresh salty cheese, and crunchy slaw. The shrimp scampi was equally scrumptious. The staff was genuinely committed to ensuring we had a wonderful experience and even treated us to a complimentary dessert tasting. This place is truly a hidden gem in Union Square!

After reading the fantastic reviews of Celeste, we decided to try it for dinner without a reservation and were fortunate to get a table without any issues. We chose to sit outside, and they only requested that we vacate the table by 8:30 PM, as there would be a influx of diners at that time. Regardless, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner that lasted an hour and a half. Check out our photos! The service was quick and bilingual. One thing to note is that the sign outside is just a small piece of fabric fluttering in the wind, which makes it a bit hard to spot. So if it's your first visit, be sure not to miss the restaurant!

I recently had an excellent dinner at this restaurant. The food was outstanding, earning a perfect score of 5. I highly recommend trying the Mixed Seafood Ceviche—it's a must-have! The service was top-notch, reflecting a 5-star experience. The atmosphere was pleasant, though I’d rate it a 4. Overall, a delightful dining experience worth the price range!
The food here is very good, but the service and professionalism needs a little improving. We had a 7pm reservation and weren’t seated until 7:45pm, however the waiter did comp our appetizer which was appreciated. We ordered the mixed seafood ceviche, scallops, and seafood risotto. Our favorite was the scallops and the pisco sour cocktails (10/10! . Unfortunately, we found that overall this restaurant isn’t worth the trek from Boston.

The food was rather average and overpriced. The ceviche was likely the highlight of the menu, but the main dishes were disappointing and mostly just stews. On the positive side, the drinks were good.
