Its story
Celia opened in 1980 on the thirty-second floor with sixteen tables and a wind forecast notebook. She sells an evening outdoors, soft music and the whole bay within sight.
In 1984, a gust lifted twenty napkins. A waiter caught them in a basket; guests applauded and returned to a terrace famous for its linen.
Anecdotes
- In June 1984, customer Mavis Orton applauded a tea towel that was not on the programme.
- In August 1985, Mél announced free parking; Celia showed her the $27 sign.
- In April 1986, Dolores Van Pelt inaugurated the napkin clips with a ribbon that blew away.
