About Us
Celestine is a seasonal, Mediterranean-influenced restaurant and events venue on the DUMBO waterfront in Brooklyn.
Located just under the Manhattan Bridge, our restaurant offers sweeping views of both bridges and the downtown city skyline. While Mediterranean coastal cuisine is the cornerstone for our menu, we take inspiration from our own experiences within the industry and through our travels to create a highly seasonal menu that’s as appropriate for an easy Tuesday night as it is for a special occasion.
Our wine list focuses on small, natural producers that we love. Our bar program focuses on approachable riffs on classic cocktails. We are proud to be located within a LEED Gold Certified building and to be a part of the DUMBO community.
