   The Thai red curry mussels are truly next level. We came 18 months ago and have been dreaming of them since. They didn’t disappoint.

   Our experience at Bar Cecil was OVER the top! We tried to get a reservation here for weeks, and ended up getting a last minute reservation. Our waiter, Josh, made the entire experience so pleasant and made us feel like we were Palm Springs locals. We were celebrating a birthday and he made us feel very special! We had the grilled artichokes and steak frites and my mom says “they were the best steak frites she’s ever had”. I would 10/10 recommend going to Bar Cecil if you can get a resy!!!

   So not sure what all the fuss is about. Waited patiently to get reservations and we won’t do that again. Food was fine, drinks were ok so we had no complaints there, just not special Waiter was fun

   Tiny kitchen therefore limited menu. If you can get a reservation, it will be accidentally. Don’t stress too much if you miss this one. That said, service is excellent.

   Great service but the reservation system is horrendous. Do better and take notes from your peers.

   First I have complained about there reservation system in the past. I would like to compliment them on making some improvements on the system. They still have a ways to go, but they are trying. Everything else was fantastic, the ambience the service and our meal. I do wish they would bring back the French Onion soup. I have many more people to introduce to this great addition to Palm Springs. Thanks for making me look so good. Dianna

    Bar Cecil is always exceptional. The food, service and bar are not only the best in Coachella Valley, but across the country. Don’t miss menu items inc steak frites, sole meunière, pork chop. Grilled artichoke a great starter as well. Good wine and cocktail list served by “A” bartenders as well. A bit pricey and a challenging res, but well worth the wait.
