I'mm a chef with 16 years experience with 6 years in San Francisco. My expeience....
The duck confit salad was acceptable with dates (nice surprise) and three ""micro""-bits of duck confit. The beef satay was typical of any Asian restaurant. Some creativity would have been nice.
I had the main entree of duck breast with risotto and cherry-lavender jus. The menu description did not follow what I was served. I only received a third of a breast; however, it was nicely carmelized. The risotto resembled being prepared with Elmer's glue....absolutely TERRIBLE. The jus was simply duck pan drippings and lacked any essense of the named ingredients. Overall, I paid $22 for an ice-cream scoop sized lump of Elmer's glue with three scraps of duck breast. The waitstaff required a bit more charisma.
My recommendation. Eat somewhere else, then bring a bottle of wine to Celadon and enjoy it's ambience.
Pros: Ambience, Close to water, Nearby shops
Cons: Waitstaff, Food...food...food
