Food was tasty but service was extremely slow. We had to ask for water multiple times and wine was not delivered until after we had our appetizer.

The Lady at the restaurant reception coud not find our reservation, despite i show confirmation message, neither by confirmation number neither by name. despite restaurant was almost fully empty she showed difficulty to seat us (pax of 4!) because "we did not book" !!! The grouper was not fresh because its consistency was like a porridge
Celeste by Kerth Gumbs at MalliouhanaResponded on April 27, 2026
Dear Mario, Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience, especially the difficulty with your reservation upon arrival. That is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating that must have been, particularly when you had a confirmation. We’re also concerned to hear your comments about the grouper, as freshness and quality are extremely important to us. Your feedback has been shared with both our front of house and kitchen teams so we can address these issues directly. We hope to have another chance to provide you with the experience you expected. Best, The Malliouhana Team

Poorly executed menu. Culinary team hiding behind exceptional (while overpriced) wine list and Hotel's Two Michelin keys. Expect better from SLH.

Your feedback is important to us, and we’ll be sure to share it with our team as we continue working to improve.

When I booked this I saw mixed reviews. We had absolutely no issues. Service was perfect. Table was great. My husband had pasta pomodoro which was good. I had catch of the day which was mahi mahi. I know Carribean mahi mahi is denser than Hawaii. It was prepared well. I understand the chef changes the menu every 3 months. Would definitely go back.
Celeste by Kerth Gumbs at MalliouhanaResponded on March 17, 2026
Dear Dianne, Thank you for dining with us and for sharing such a thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear that your experience exceeded expectations, especially after seeing mixed feedback beforehand. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed both the pasta pomodoro and the mahi mahi; we take great pride in preparing our dishes with care. We also appreciate you noting the evolving menu; our chef loves keeping things seasonal and exciting. We truly look forward to welcoming you and your husband back again soon!

Perfect in every way. Greeted warmly immediately, had a lovely table overlooking Meads Bay beach. Our server took our drink order, great selection of wine and cocktails, followed by delicious bread service and amuse bouche of Mahi . We ordered the tuna ceviche which was served table side- some of the best we have ever had. We also enjoyed the very generous grilled lobster with drawn butter and lovely cream sauce on the side preparation of everything was perfect. My husband, whose birthday we were celebrating loved the queen snapper in a delicious sauce, expertly prepared. We also enjoyed perfect glazed carrots and au gratin potatoes. Our dinner was followed by a delicious chocolate lava cake with birthday sparkler and singing servers. It was a wonderful celebration at Celeste. We have dined at many restaurants on Anguilla over the years - including Jacala, Blancharda, Julian’s, Mangoes, and Celeste will now be at the top of our list when we return .
Celeste by Kerth Gumbs at MalliouhanaResponded on March 3, 2026
Dear Andrea, Thank you so much for this incredible review. It truly means the world to our entire team at Celeste. We’re thrilled that your evening was “perfect in every way” especially for such a special occasion. Celebrating your husband’s birthday whilst overlooking beautiful Meads Bay is exactly why we do what we do. Your kind words about the food, service, and attention to detail will be shared with our entire culinary and front of house team. We’re so glad the chocolate lava cake added that extra touch of joy to the evening. We cannot wait to welcome you back on your next visit to Anguilla for another unforgettable evening. Best, The Malliouhana Team

The food at Celeste was so disappointing. The salmon was overcooked, the lamb chops were too dry, the caccio Pepe pasta too creamy. Every single dish we tried was disappointing, over cooked and tasteless. Also the service was very slow. The waitress served the lamb chops sauce with my salmon by mistake and I ended up eating an overcooked salmon with red wine sauce which was meant for the meat! The waitress took more than 30min to serve us our bottle of white wine which was not chilled. The experience was truly horrible with the worst food I had at Anguilla. Will never go back.
Celeste by Kerth Gumbs at MalliouhanaResponded on February 16, 2026
Dear Valia, Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry your experience at Celeste did not meet expectations. We apologize that the food and service fell short, including the overcooked dishes, incorrect sauce, and delay with your wine. This is not the standard we aim to provide. Your comments have been shared with our kitchen and service teams for review and improvement. We would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly and restore your confidence. Thank you again for your honest and candid feedback. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and offer you the exceptional dining experience that every guest deserves.

The tableside ceviche was absolutely the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Service here is much better than most other places on the island but still a bit slow. My potato side arrived way after my entree only after we reminded the wait staff. Very pretty place but with a little extra detail it could be perfect for Anguilla.

Dear Kim, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear the tableside ceviche was the best you’ve ever had; that truly means so much to our team.
