NO LONGER A FAN.
My husband and I decided to revisit Celestin's last night. As it was prime time for dinner, we didn't expect to wait so long for someone to attend to us. It appears that they were "under staffed" and
we were subsequently waited on by the bus-boy. He had no idea how to take an order, didn't write anything down, and had to come back to our table several times to clarify our orders and tell us that he wasn't a waiter....Despite specifiying in detail that I was allergic to peppers and onions, our food arrived and my salad was covered in green onions. I ate my entree and promptly handed my salad to my husband. It wasn't until we were done that the bus boy came round to check on us. My husband showed him all of the onions from the salad, and he looked a little puzzled until my husband reminded him of my onion and pepper allergy. There was no offering of a new oinionless salad or anything, just an "oh, I'm sorry about that", and then he dashed off.
After dinner, we left the restaurant unsure of whether we would ever return. Several hous later, both my husband and I battled one of the worst cases of food poisoning we'd ever had. Each of us spent at least 30-45 minutes in the bathroom. We will never be back...…
Awesome!!. Break your neck getting to this place. I have never had a bad meal here and I've been coming here for five years. Strange someone from Cuba has no idea how Grio is spelled. The bartenders hands are as heavy as your tips. the Mojitos there are heavenly. without fail I order the sweet potato fries and a small order of GRIO for appetizers. first timers, i would suggest one of about 10 different types of gumbo ranging from chicken to rock shrimp. if youre adventurous, try the rum cake but be warned, i had to take a cab home. bring about 60 bucks and sample the best Cuban, Jamaican, or Carribean food the city has to offer. one star? This place is awesome.…
Bad service,Bad food. I went there last night for the 3rd time very disappointing,we order the plantain side dish with the crio and the chicken,got the plantain is a apetizer and 20minutes latter the dinner,rice not cook at all and the plantains where not ripe.Lest no said we wait at the table 15minutes for water and another 15minutes to get our order.I know how this food should be prepare i'm from cuba and our food is similar.Will not go back.…
upsetting news. The owners of this restaurant have no loyalty to there employees and treat them like garbage. It is proven by how many people they have let go recently. I would not recomend that anyone dine at their restaurant.…
Such a breathe of fresh air!. Colorful, fun, clean and very friendly. It's different -It's new music I haven't heard elsewhere. I felt happy just being there.
