Celestin's Restaurant

Phoebe and her husband are wonderful. The Cuban sandwich was the best I’ve had in Cali. I’m from Tampa and we’re very critical with cuban sandwich’s iykyk. The drinks were also great the margarita and the limeade very refreshing. Also loved the decor and atmosphere. Very good location great to go on a walk around the neighborhood after the meal

I like the vibe here. It is a very small and quaint restaurant. Tonight was particularly busy so it took a minute to get our order. The grio platter for the starter was pretty delicious! We ordered these Celestin's gumbo and the the Chicken, sausage and shrimp gumbo. The broth is decent overall. My favorite parts are the sausage and the big scallops.

This small but mighty restaurant has equal seating in and out featuring soulful cajun fare. We had dinner inside on a Friday night without reservations and were lucky to get seated immediately! They were full within ten minutes of arrival. Several take out customers came and went. Nice atmosphere, clean and carefully spaced seating. Casual. The staff was friendly and attentive. Service was good. Now about the food... I've had zero experience with cajun food. (Popeye's doesn't count.) My date helped me order. Not overpriced but not cheap. He had Jambalaya (+ a side of black beans) and I had scallops with coconut lime sauce ($30!). Both were served with red beans & rice and marinated cucumbers & tomatoes. We had fried plantain as an appetizer. The server even sweetened the tea with honey for me. IT WAS ABSOLUTE HEAVEN! So. Worth. Every. Dime. Yes the cukes were tired & tasted like the walk in, but not important...it happens to garnishes. Yes the deuce table could barely hold all our plates. But they cleared frequently. Yes they could up the beverage selections for non alcohol but way to go on service! To quote the former governor...I'll be back!💜

Célestin’s restaurant have a nice and beautiful atmosphere!! I came across it while looking for Carribean and Haitian restaurant near me while walking in “J street, Sacramento” . To be fair their food is good but as a Haitian food aficionado the only thing that tasted more or less like Haitian food was there “Griot” most of the 3 different dishes that me and my friend ordered had their own taste, but again it was delicious!!! Service was relatively fast !!! I would go again for their food but not thinking that it’s Haitian food

I was in a pickle and needed 5 gallons of gumbo broth for an event I was catering. Patrick was more than accommodating and his broth was delicious. My gumbo turned out great with rave reviews from my guests. I can't wait to dine there and sample his other goodies. Highly recommend this jewel of a place in Midtown.
