About
Celestine is an Eastern Mediterranean restaurant located on the DUMBO waterfront, just under the Manhattan Bridge. Our kitchen, led by Executive Chef Garett McMahan, serves seasonal, soulful fare that draws inspiration from Northern Africa, the Mediterranean coastline, and the Middle East. Our wine list, curated by Joe Campanale, focuses on small, coastal Mediterranean producers. Our bar program, devised by Kevin Baird of Grand Army Bar, marries the flavors of the spice route with classic cocktails. We are proud to be located within a LEED Gold Certified building, and to be part of the DUMBO community.

The food is very delicious and is interestingly spiced. I am not very familiar to the Eastern Mediterranean cuisine so this was really special. The location is great too, right by the water with a beautiful view of the skyline. The one downside is the...More

We came here for Saturday brunch and had a great time. Located close to the Brooklyn Bridge, we had an incredible view. Coffee, brunch, mimosas - the perfect brunch spot near the water! Great service, clean restaurant - a cool vibe. We will be back!

A good place to have a drink or meal with view on the East River. It is not really at the water, but still ok. They have great IPA beer. Very fresh taste.

After a wonderful biketour with Brooklyngirobikes we sat down here to have a drink. Everything’s new and tasteful. Service is good. Be prepared for a lot of noice from the bridge. But that kind of belongs to this area.
