Although I know noise is not Celestine’s fault, it can’t be denied that the whole experience is affected because of it. I’d be hesitant on recommending this place. What was a disappointment indeed was the dark chocolate cheesecake: it felt cheap, both the chocolate and the cookie crumble(?) base, not in the least creamy nor cheesy, and the presentation mismatched Celestine’s. We followed with the roasted half chicken, which felt a bit over-spiced to my taste but nothing to worry about. They were superb and paired lovely with the outdoor seating and weather. As starters we had the pistachio feta dip and the muhammara accompanied with the house-made flatbread. This is not a letdown in the least but might be striking for some people. Moving on to the menu, be aware of Celestine’s very Mediterranean-oriented menu. The view at sunset is gorgeous!!! But if only pictures could talk…
Anyhow… the place is visually beautiful, and I bet more than one has been lured to Celestine by looking at those gorgeous pictures of the restaurant and its view to -precisely- Manhattan Bridge and the East River shoreline. Maybe that’s why they’re not in their best mood. Can’t help but wonder how the staff get to endure such noise for prolonged periods of time. Not 15 minutes had passed when we were already upset about the noise. noise of passing trains a constant, noisy annoyance. Celestine is near enough from Manhattan Bridge and its railways to make the. Let’s address the elephant in the room regarding Celestine: the place is NOISYl!!! And I’m not talking about an energetic vibe, nor loud diners, nor noisy ambiance music.
