    Nice experience. Greatstaff. Price for 2 drinks was $115. That's insanity. But it was fun

    Celeste beautifully captures the holiday spirit with its rustic speakeasy vibe, chic ambiance, and magnificent multi-floor layout. We enjoyed a cozy date night on the second floor, starting with prosecco, fried chicken bites, and a Caesar salad—generous portions overall, though the chicken was slightly oily. A delightful spot for a stylish evening out!

    Went for the cocktails and we were not disappointed. I highly recommend getting the dealers choice, they will ask you a few questions and create a fantastic cocktail for you. Food was wonderful but the service sets them apart. Our waitress was fantastic and the bartender was a rockstar!

    I came here for dinner and drinks with friends. Shishito peppers made me book the reservation but they were out. It happens. Drinks were so strong so a friend and I asked for more sweetener for her espresso martini and juice for my cocktail. Would be nice to have more of a variety of cocktails offered. Arancini and Tacos were great!!!! Will be back to get my shishito peppers. 5 star service.

    Hi - Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. While we’re glad you enjoyed the arancini and the tacos, we’re disappointed to hear that the cocktail menu didn’t exceed expectations. We appreciate your feedback as we continue to improve our guest experience.

    Absolutely beautiful decor in the restaurant you can look out and see the river. The food was fantastic. Probably one of the best filet steaks I’ve had in a really long time.  Our server was excellent and very knowledgeable

    Celeste is a great vibe. It has 4 levels, all with a different type of vibe. The roof top was my favorite. We had dinner on the first level, laid back ambiance. I got the steak sliders (which were actually roast beef). It was dry to my taste. My friend had steak and mashed potatoes (Same thing - roast beef). At that point, I think it is a Chicago thing. The waitress was very nice and professional. She changed my order with no problem. Security was awesome. We felt safe at all times. I would recommend this restaurant, but just know you what type of “steak” you are ordering, opposed to what you like
