We came here to celebrate Valentine’s Day and had the best meal!! The scallop and squid ink pasta was by far the standout dish. The ambiance was really casual and fun, the cocktails were delicious, and we love everything we tried. Highly recommend a reservation in advance. Five out of five stars and would definitely return!

Exceptional service and food. This place easily deserves 5 stars. The mixed food ceviche was so flavorful and probably one of the best things I've eaten and the pupusa was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant inside is small but beautiful decorated, not loud at all. Very relaxing vibe and I appreciate that the tables are not too close together. Will definitely come back.

Great choice for Peruvian cuisine in Union Square. Having garnered attention as a James Beard award semifinalist for new restaurants five years ago, my expectations were set high for my long-anticipated visit. From the appetizers, I had the Mixed Seafood Ceviche and the Cause de Tuna Tartare. The Ceviche was served with generous portions of the blue cod, shrimp, and squid, and I especially enjoyed the vibrant and punchy juice, which struck a good balance without overwhelming the palate. The sweet potatoes added a delightful sweetness, while the toasted corn kernels offered a satisfying textural contrast. The Causa de Tuna Tartare was a soft and indulgent treat. Sandwiched between layers of mashed potato, the dish was a flavorful combination of acidity from both the potatoes and the tuna. For the main course, the Sudado de Pescado O Berenjena offered a more subdued yet equally impressive flavor profile. This Peruvian-Chinese style steamed fish was immersed in a delicate fish broth, enriched with Chinese vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, and mushrooms. The dish's subtle spice kick and umami were a welcome divergence from the more robustly seasoned appetizers. Among the Peruvian restaurants in the neighborhood, Celeste is definitely the best option without a doubt. Whether you're in the mood for a refined seafood and wine evening or a hearty Peruvian feast, I highly recommend giving them a try.

It’s a tiny place with limited seating, so ensure to make reservations in advance. We went for our anniversary dinner. Menu was limited but good. We ordered fried yucca, tuna tartare and steamed fish. Fried yucca and tuna tartare were interesting flavors. Steamed fish was enough for 2 people with extra order of rice. It was cold inside since the doors kept opening hence 4 stars. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Tuna Tartare
I wanted to find a nice date night spot for my girlfriend and I and while searching Celeste looked like a great spot. Once we arrived, we had a reservation and we're seated immediately. The space is very small so we were pretty close to everyone in the restaurant and had to talk kinda loudly in order to hear each other. We ended up splitting a few things: mixed ceviche, papusa with prawn, and the incan style chicken stew, as well as a tamarind sour to drink. Everything was delicious, particularly the ceviche, though we were surprised we didn't get any chips to eat it with but maybe that's our misunderstanding. It was also a little annoying to have to clean the shell off the entire prawn for the papusa but maybe that's not normal 🤷‍♂️. Besides that, everything was great and I highly recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for something different but delicious.

The food here is very good, but the service and professionalism needs a little improving. We had a 7pm reservation and weren’t seated until 7:45pm, however the waiter did comp our appetizer which was appreciated. We ordered the mixed seafood ceviche, scallops, and seafood risotto. Our favorite was the scallops and the pisco sour cocktails (10/10!). Unfortunately, we found that overall this restaurant isn’t worth the trek from Boston. Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

UPs- Wide variety of innovative fusion taste. Fun atmosphere. Friendly service. DOWNs- the $$$ are not quite matched by the rather ordinary ingredients, picnic-style patio tables and dish-wares. OVERALL- must warn you most dishes here have powerful spicy bite, not what one would typically except from Peruvian dishes. I enjoyed what I had & will try more next time.

This charming little Peruvian restaurant pleasantly surprised us. We decided to try out dishes from the menu without knowing what to expect, and genuinely enjoyed them. To top it off, the dessert was the perfect way to conclude the meal. ceviche de shrimp y mango with maracuya infusion is my favorite from here. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Such a cute little spot and the vibe is incredible! It's both a beautiful and fancy spot but also very casual as you can see the grill and bar from every table. The staff was so nice! The drinks were so delicious - we had the pisco sour, chicha sour, and negroni. But the food... out of this world. The lomo saltado was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. And the scallops were also perfectly cooked and the noodles and sauce was sooo good. I was worried it would be really heavy but it actually wasn't (for a pasta and cream sauce). Highly highly recommend and can't wait to come back. Only "complaint" is the music would vary between loud and not loud but either way it was great music.

My boyfriend and I were celebrating and we’re gonna go to another restaurant in Union square. We walked by Celeste, and decided to check it out. The food, atmosphere, and service were all 10/10!! I’ve never tasted something quite like that. I had the risotto and he had the pork stew. I think the star was the fish ceviche. All amazing!! A hidden gem in union!
