I love Peruvian food and have enjoyed it in many places, so this was a real disappointment, especially considering the restaurant's high Yelp rating. I should have paid more attention to previous reviews mentioning the lomo saltado, it came with
This review is primarily due to service.
I'd been before and had excellent food and service. However this time, I'd booked outside and had to wait over 30 minutes before giving up and going to another restaurant. The guy handling reservations, didn't give us any time frame fo

The avocado muhammara was incredible! The cornbread was also delicious! A bit of a crowded vibe. All the other dishes my party ordered were pretty mediocre and overpriced.
Really excellent squid ink pasta.
Service was efficient, food came very fast. The outdoor patio is nice, though a bit casual for a nice place like this. Also tried the seafood risotto which was fine, but the squid ink pasta with scallops was heads and shoulders better--if you go here

Came on a Monday around 6 and got a seat no problem, but by 8 it was packed. Tried the tamarind drink which was great, as well as the mango ceviche and I got the locro with fish. The ceviche was very good, but the locro was pretty plain and the fish
This restaurant is small and cozy.
Not many seats inside they do have outdoor seating. Service was quick and efficient. Food for the presentation was a bit pricey but excellent. Presentation was disappointing. Cocktail menu certainly need some work. Average at best.

The place is a located a short drive from the center of Cambridge in a vibrant, young and fun location. They take reservations which is critical because seats are in demand and the place is small. The size and traffic seem to have left the condition
Wonderful food, friendly staff.
A nice casual vibe. Reserve well in advance, though, because they don't have many seats.
The ambiance of this cozy restaurant is great.
The food was also fantastic, especially the ceviche.

This place is incredible from the food to the service to what they are able to do in such a tiny setting. Celeste is intimate. Very small space with everyone packed in together but it makes the experience very cozy. You can get to know the staff an
TLDR: Small place with authentic food and good ambiance.
Service is top notch, attentive, but not too attentive if you know what I mean. I counted 16 seats with a focus of mostly two seaters and maybe 5 bar seats overlooking the cook station. I think this makes it especially cozy and easy to get service w
Great spot for dinner
A small place so difficult to come without a reservation, but worth a try. If you do not like/eat fish, pass. Everything was fresh and very tasty, and very interesting at times. Beware, a lot of things on the menu are spicy and not necessarily advert
Small place - typical Peruvian food. A lot of fun.
After seeing the great reviews of Celeste, we went for dinner without a reservation and managed to get in without any trouble. We ate outside. They only asked that "the table be freed up by 8:30 pm" since there is a wave of diners coming
Excellent option for peruvian food, reasonably priced given
Excellent option for peruvian food, reasonably priced given the quality of food as well as the ambience. Fun location! The ceviche and the dessert were the real stars but the lomo saltado was also excellent!
Pisco Sours we're good.
Ceviche was made with Blue Cod which can be very fishy, but at least it was fresh. I wish they would use red stripe or sea bass Instead. The yuquitas are really a papa rellena using yuca instead of potato, it was fill with veggies and it was ok. The

Unassuming at first, this Peruvian gem is a no-frills, intimate restaurant that allows the flavors to speak for themselves. My friend and I shared an appetizer and two entrees; portions were hefty and more than enough. I highly recommend the ceviche

Thank you Celeste, show us how Boston can claim a worthy food scene!This is a small hallway of a space. Around 7:30 on a weeknight, the playlist is disco and the patrons are talky. I hesitate to say it's a trendy spot--maybe trendy in the way Somervi
I'm not sure but the ceviche may have given my boyfriend
I'm not sure but the ceviche may have given my boyfriend and I food poisoning. It is a shame because the presentation of the ceviche was beautiful .. but the kitchen is very small to match their output.

Food: 2/5Service: 5/5Food was crummy, the appetizers were pre-made and felt undercooked, the Ceviche (which is usually my favorite food) just wasn't great, not very citrus-y and not great garnishes. The service was awesome and the restaurant had an a

We came here around 6:30pm on a Saturday without a reservation (#livingontheedge), hoping that the stars would align and we could walk in and grab a table for two. The staff were incredibly nice, you could see them trying to figure out how to squeeze
They had very fresh seafood and good chicha.
Nice outdoor seating. Good spot.
Disappointed despite the hype.
Drinks and starters were very good, but was very let down by the main dish I got (lamb stew, which was a salty, homogenous mass of tough meat).

Would not have discovered this gem if it were not suggested by a coworker. Tiny and charming space packing a powerful punch---the cocktails were outstanding along with the food/flavors! Looking forward to my next Boston trip to further indulge in th
Connect with users posting reservations for Celeste Somerville
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Celeste Somerville. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Celeste Somerville at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Celeste Somerville page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FulfilledThread16, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FulfilledThread16 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FulfilledThread16 for any questions Peter may have as FulfilledThread16 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FulfilledThread16 now uses their connections at Celeste Somerville to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FulfilledThread16 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FulfilledThread16 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FulfilledThread16's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Celeste Somerville!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
