FAQ

Good to know

Is the Celestia ticket included in the menu?

No. Tickets are booked separately on Celestia's site. Enter BERCZY10 at checkout for 10% off Gold and Bronze seats.

How early should I book dinner before the show?

We recommend 1 hour 45 minutes before your showtime. That leaves time for three courses, the walk over and arriving 15 minutes early, as Celestia asks.

Yes. The show runs about 45 minutes. Book a table for about 15 minutes after it ends and come straight over.

How far is The Berczy from St. James Cathedral?

About a five-minute walk. Head north up Church Street from Front Street to King Street.

Do I need a Celestia ticket to order the Celestia Menu?

No. The Celestia Menu is available to everyone, every evening, including Thursdays when there are no shows.

What does the Celestia Menu cost?

$79 per person for three courses. The 10 oz NY Striploin is an additional $20.

Show times are set by Celestia, so always confirm on their official calendar. If your show moves, you can change your dinner time through your OpenTable booking.
