I organized a dinner with 12 friends and called a couple of days before and spoke with the host Michael. I got there early and spoke with Michael. He knew immediately recongized my name and said that they were ready for us and I was welcome to wait either at the table or at the bar. I thought it was interesting that he offered to let me sit at the table since alot of upscale restaurants won't even seat you unless your entire party is there. As the evening progressed and friends strolled in late, they were sent over to meet me in the bar and we were never rushed to get to our table and start dinner. Once we sat down we proceeded to order practically everything on the menu and often passing many of the dishes around tapa style (which is how the menu is actually setup). There wasn't a dish that anyone turned away for seconds, my personal favorite was the 5 Spice Duck and Foie Gras. I'm usually not a big fan of duck but this was prepared to perfection and thinking about it now makes me want to go back. We all had a great evening and even though there 12 of us the bill was extremely reasonable, I even had to remind the waitress that she should have automatically added 18% to the bill for gratuity. My pet peeve is that if the service is even near sub standard I won't eat at that place again, Celadon had excellent service, top quality food and drinks made to perfection made this one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in Los Angeles.
