A cold January day and a bright warm spot to enjoy a scrumptious lunch with friends. The comments around the table were in unison about the salads and dressing, the Hall of Fame chowder and swordfish Reuben sandwich. What a great meal.

Four of us dining and all loved our meals. The bavette steak, one on a delicious blue cheese salad and one as an entree with crispy potatoes and green beans with onion jam was well seasoned and cooked as we wished. Mmm. The others had the salmon with lentils and beet purée (well cooked and delicious) and the pasta Genovese (savory and with deep flavors). There are ample wines to go with all on the menu and the chocolate tort was amazing. A wonderful meal with great service - I always feel welcomed and cared for at Celeste.
