"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?"

Fabulous MCM vibe, fun spot to grab a drink and dinner. Cocktails are typical California prices $20-50 depending on the liquors, etc. This is our second visit. The service is impeccable each visit. Our waiter's day job is teaching ballet, and I suspect he is a great and fun teacher as he is all personality and cares for each table. I recommend the burger, the pork chop, the halibut, and the salad special was caprese, outstanding!

Great experience. The food, ambiance, and service were exceptional. We were seated outside and thought it might be too hot, but it was covered and had mysters blowing, which made it comfortable.

Lost count of which number visit this was but Bar Cecil continues to be a consistently great experience. This time, they had prepared a special and unexpected surprise for my 6 year-old nephew. Thank you for the attention to detail and another great experience!

The food quality, service, and atmosphere at Bar Cecil are amazing! My wife and I were celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary next to a family with young kids and a group of old friends on the other side of us. It was a lovely combination where everyone was having a fantastic experience. Highly recommend.
