charming service, top-notch food, lovely decor ... what an amazingly pleasant dining experience ... staff -- including owner, greg cole -- all act as if they are genuinely happy you are there. the food is amazing, really. we had two appetizers, split a salad, had two entrees, and finished with a dessert ... we couldn't stop eating, and we wanted to make sure we had everything on the menu that had caught our eye. we also had wine-by-the-glass and a cocktail ... all for $120 ... we couldn't believe how affordable such a terrific meal could be! we could tell celadon is cole's baby. he was working the floor ... not just chatting with guests, but bussing tables, serving drinks ... he wasn't micromanaging; rather it seemed he really wanted to participate, that he really enjoyed being there. if we could take celadon home with us (to poughkeepsie), we would in a heartbeat!
Pros: absolutely everything!
Cons: we can't think of one thing we didn't like about this place!
