The Celestial Vista Restaurant is a famous restaurant and tourist attraction in the Azure district of the Skyway ward in Sharn, Breland.[1][5][2][3][4]
Description[]
Floating in the highest reaches of Sharn, it offers stunning views of the City of Towers.[1][5][2][3][4] The floor features windows of crystal so patrons may gaze down on the city beneath their feet.[3] It's been described as wondrous.[7]
Atmosphere[]
The most famous of Skyway's high-class, high-rise restaurants,[1][2] the Celestial Vista's breathtaking views draw in both tourists and locals who can pay the high prices.[1][5][2][3][4] The dining experience here is incomparable[5] and the atmosphere elegant.[1][4]
For this reason, the Celestial Vista is in high demand and never short of customers.[1][3][4] In fact, patrons with reservations may have to wait up to an hour or even longer to get a table, while visitors without reservations are gladly turned away by the maitre d'hotel.[1] Hence, knowledgeable Sharn citizens prefer to mark their special occasions at the Cloud Dragon or Azure Gateway.[1][2][3]
Services[]
The Celestial Vista's menu is considered cosmopolitan,[4] even exotic by Brelish standards,[1] combining as it does the traditional cuisine of the Five Nations with cutting-edge culinary innovations.[4] It includes similar offerings as the Azure Gateway,[1] with well-known foods from Aundair, like noodles and meats in tomato- and oil-based sauces; Karrnath, like their breaded veal and traditional sausage dishes; and Thrane, such as fine steaks.[8] However, for the tourists and less-adventurous patrons who'd come for the view instead, there are also more ordinary dishes available.[1] Despite or perhaps because of all this, some describe the food as not incredible,[3] but the dining experience as a whole as outstanding.[9] Nevertheless, the meals are expensive,[5][4] costing around 75 sp per person, with a fine wine included.[9] All food is purified by House Ghallanda.[10][4]
