"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?"

Really pleased with our experience - great food, fun atmosphere, attentive service. Had a wonderful time and would definitely return when we are in the area again (traveled from the East Coast and this restaurant was one of the reasons for the trip!).

Absolutely fantastic restaurant with great food great drinks and great service. The ambience is enjoyable well decorated with just the right pitch of music playing in the background. I highly suggest getting one of the coveted seats at the bar and of course you must add caviar service I mean, why wouldn’t you?

The ambience is fun, the food is good. We like Bar Cecil a lot but the service we had last night was very disappointing.

Love this place, especially the personable and professional service and lovely, sophisticated ambiance and decor. Food almost always perfect. However, their special salad was not good this time. That was only issue.

The restaurant had a cool vibe. The food and wait staff were good. However, we were seated in the covered outdoor area, right near the arched door entrance. It was quite a cool evening in December. There were heaters installed and running around the patio seating area, but the entryway door was constantly being opened by staff in order to seat guests. That in itself was not the main issue, but the fact that at least 50% of the time the door was not closed after the host and guests came through was a problem. The heaters were not sufficient enough to keep our table comfortable. We had to repeatedly ask that the door be closed, even after we told staff that we were cold. We ended up sitting and eating with our coats on, and this made our entire dining experience less than ideal.
