"Your Pleasure is Our Pleasure!"

Please join us at Bar Cecil for a delightful evening. We welcome parties of 5 or fewer guests (limited space for parties of 5). Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate larger parties.

We book tables for 2 hours. Last dinner orders are taken at 9 pm and we close the bar at 10 pm. We've gone cashless and happily accept credit and debit cards.

Due to our small size, tables with separate reservations can not be combined. Please reserve online; if OpenTable is not showing availability, we're fully booked or it is more than 14 days out. We accept reservations up to 30 days out. Our bar is always walk-in and we open at 5 pm (the bar list is usually full around 4:30 pm).


We can't wait to have you as our guests! "Shall we?"

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bar Cecil in Palm Springs is a culinary gem, offering "amazing food" and an "enjoyable atmosphere." Guests rave about the "excellent service" provided by attentive servers like Holly and Sierra. The retro-chic decor and inventive cocktails create a unique dining experience. Don't miss the pork chop and cacio e pepe, both "outstanding."

    love the ambience. our server was wonderful. the french 76 is my favorite. I always have the hamburger and it is usually wonderful and done perfectly. Last night it was marginal. Something was up with the bun - maybe stale. We will be back

    Good vibes and service. Underwhelming food. The bread was the best part. Cacio de Pepe was watery, pasta bot cooked well. Broccolini tasted like butane. Nice experience, wouldn’t go back.

    100 % recommend! I don’t like pate! Until tonight I’d not tried it here for that reason. However, my friends ordered it tonight and: it was heaven! I’ll be going back to have it again. The special was duck and I t was amazing. We were reminded yet again why Bar Cecil is our fav restaurant. Yummy, fun and lively but not too loud.

    Everything was delicious...duck pate was really good (I think it might benefit by the addition of port or brandy:) but still good. Cacio e pepe was perfect, steak frites again perfect. Drinks were delicious. Staff were attentive and humorous....not stuffy and great timing .

    French-Californian dining in an enchanted garden. Great cocktails and wine list. Eating here is always a treat. Casual but also a bit of an event.
