Celestine

Behold to-die-for views of Manhattan and the noble bridges leading to it from this streamlined, Brooklyn waterfront restaurant. Floor-to-ceiling windows and ample outdoor seating provide an unobstructed vista. The Eastern Mediterranean menu is designed for sharing, whether it’s starters like braised rabbit kugel with sugar plums and manti (Turkish dumplings) stuffed with short rib, or heftier plates of whole grilled fish and wood-roasted chicken with saffron and currants. Industry veterans Julian Brizzi (Rucola) and Noah Bernamoff (Mile End Deli) are among the partners.
