"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?"

Hardest reservation to get, always, food gone downhill. Deviled eggs were best thing we had. Sole dish and burgers were just ordinary; broccolini flavorless; salad just OK; artichokes were decent. Overall food just wasn’t great

Despite being an extremely challenging restaurant to get into, it’s worth every penny. I had a lovely three course dinner with drinks and enjoyed every moment of it. Our server was either stretched too thin or just not as present as I would have liked, but it didn’t kill the experience. Definitely a lovely atmosphere and excellent food.

Loved this fun and trendy spot. The pavlova was amazing. Had to order a second one for the table. Don’t miss out on this superb dessert. We tried to make reservations to come again just for the pavlova but couldn’t get in!

Had a great meal and wonderful experience. Our waiter was fun, experienced, professional and attentive without being overpowering.....service was excellent. Everything that we ordered was delicious and well prepared and presented. Highly recommend Bar Cecil....even if it's not easy to get a reservation....their policy of only allowing reservations one week in advance isn't user friendly. Aside from that, it was a very good choice.

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?
