Celebrations Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Cape Girardeau

Where to begin? I suppose we’ll start at the beginning of the meal where you will be served to wonderfully cooked slices of bread with a salted butter spread. This bread with the butter is a perfect tasting item while preparing for the appetizers. I could honestly eat the bread with the butter all night long if I was allowed to!

For mushroom lovers who also enjoy cheese, you must try their stuff, mushrooms! They are absolutely fantastic, they will not disappoint! We got these every time we go!

The menu is ever changing, but amongst some of our favorite items include the brace pork cheek on a Roman gnocchi, which is just phenomenal. The meat is very tender and well seasoned, well the gnocchi is perfectly cooked and provides a nice balance.

It’s difficult not to order dessert when you dine here because all of it sounds so tempting. One of our favorite desserts is a carrot cake based dessert. I cannot recall the exact name of this dessert, but my husband describes it as the best carrot cake he has ever had in his life, and he is a carrot cake enthusiast. Recently, our menu has posted a chocolate crème brûlée, which is absolutely fantastic and so well done! During our last visit, there was also a cake adorned with nectarines, cream, and berries/berry compote. I hope I have accurately described it, but no further description than delicious is really needed.

The venue is a unique set up. It appears to be a multi room house that was re-renovated to suit the needs for the restaurant. It’s a very unique design, and what we love most about it is that each room is different! Rooms are not so large Which allows for a more intimate setting, and it’s exciting to see the different rooms and decorations each time we go. The staff are very nice and attentive. One of the chefs is always around, looking to attend to tables as well. We have eaten here many times over the past year and I can honestly say that we have never had a bad experience at Celebrations!

This restaurant for sure is well suited for almost any celebratory event. Anniversaries, birthdays, and even for when your mother-in-law comes to town, this restaurant is sure to be enjoyed by all! They both a sophisticated menu at a cost is affordable for most. I would recommend this...

I can understand why the prices at Celebrations might catch some people off guard. Celebrations Restaurant is expensive, at least by Cape Girardeau standards (most entrees are in the $25 - 30 range). The food, however, is exceptional! I have not had many opportunities to dine in Cape, but I am from Chicago and we have a few restaurants up there. Really, the food at Celebrations was incredible! And the wine list was epic, with bottles from $20 to $1200 (the bottle we ordered was closer to $20). If you don't order wine, you can easily get out of here for less than $100 per couple. How many meals at Friday's does that buy? Two? A meal at Celebrations is a special occasion, an investment in an experience...a much better value than two meals at Outback or ten...

The menu is à la carte, but I was easily able to enjoy a three course dinner with the help of my server Brianna. I had the stuffed mushrooms, scallops and bucatini, and crème brûlée. The service, cocktails, and ingredients were top notch. Plus, they even had a Chenin blanc that was available by the glass. White tablecloths adorned the tables and they serve with Riedel glassware. The server was attentive and thoughtful, but not overly intrusive. She provided excellent menu and drink knowledge that helped facilitate a charming evening.

This is a perfect spot to enjoy a lovely meal that is carefully crafted and served by people who truly care about providing a wonderful...
