    First time at Celeste…. Beautiful restaurant and unpretentious. We were late arriving in HHI and maitre’d pleasantly gave us a later reservation and said not to worry that we would arrive in our travel clothes. We arrived one hour before closing and stayed one hour after closing. Our server, Tash, was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations for entree, red snapper special. She was a pleasure to talk with. Maitre d was a hoot in his Christmas “dinner jacket “. All in all was a great time and a welcome finish to a very stressful travel day.

    Gusto never disappoints! I would absolutely recommend this spot for Christmas Eve service again and again. Abby was our server and she was incredibly personable and attentive. Each course was timed well and we never went long without a check in for drinks or anything we might need. The food was all fresh and flavorful and the portions were enough to take leftovers if that’s your thing! We are repeat customers and we will definitely be back.

    Christmas Eve dinner. We had a reservation and were immediately seated. The restaurant has a nice vibe. Fancy without being stuffy. We were sat in the main dining room which has water front views. Our waiter (I believe he said Kumar but my hearing is not good) was excellent. The food was really good. We started with honey lime shrimp & a bottle of wine Husband had flounder with a spicey vinaigrette with risotto and vegetables and I had the salmon Rockefeller with mash and asparagus. We both loved the meals we chose. Finished with Hummingbird cake (YUM!) and coffee. We enjoyed every aspect of our experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.
