   It’s a tough place to get into at the moment. We were a table of 4. The martini onions were unusual and very tasty. The Sancerre was excellent and the Cote de Rhone was nice. Our waitress was super. She recommended several dishes and all were really good. (Mussels, chicken, cacio e pepe, pork chop). We had a great time all night. Excellent sound track playing all night.

   Bar Cecil was a random find when looking for places for dinner while visiting Palm Springs. What a find! We were all in agreement that this was our favorite place for dinner while we were there. And it will stay on our list for return visits. The food was great as was the service! Looking forward to the next time in Palm Springs and dining there again!

    As always the food and service were great. It was a little louder than usual. We had a group of 4 adults and a toddler behind us. The child was great. It was how the 2 couples interacted with the child that was worrisome and loud. Plus the music was unusually loud tonight.

    We always have a great time at Bar Cecil. And I am slowly working my way towards getting my name on the wall for 10 $50 Martinis! Brittain was a terrific server and took excellent care of us. We will be back very soon! I just wish it was easier to get a reservation! Can we have a hotline for VIPS and big spenders? 😜

    Yep, nice place as far as decor, especially inside. My feeling is that this is a good place to come for a drink or two with some snacks. I would recommend for this. Dinner on the other hand was good but nothing special The highs were the caramelized onion tart and the pavlova. The duroc smoked pork chop was OK as was the skirt steak. My risotto was swimming in butter though …and the oysters had no flavor whatsoever, it was like they had been rinsed or something. I had mentioned this to a lady who seemed like she was in a position of authority and she seemed quite disinterested. Service generally was OK but compared to the warm and friendly reception we had received in other places, i would say it was chilly. Only the bus boy who had just worked there for a short time wanted to go above and beyond.

    Bar Cecil offers a unique dining experience with a friendly, efficient staff. Wish the limited menu had included salmon or another fish beyond scallops. We were seated next to the crowded bar, and the combination of high-volume guest voices and a disco-era soundtrack made our table conversation difficult. But it was an evening we will remember!

    Outdoor patio is NOT outdoor. Tables are too close together. Music is so loud that one has to shout to converse with the person across the table. Why does a busy restaurant with lots of people and noise need music too? Do you really think anyone enjoys having to shout at dinner? I cannot understand this in any restaurant. This is not a teeny bopper place! The food was excellent but the waitstaff needs to learn how to present a bottle of wine to the client. We’ll return anyway!

    Not our first rodeo...been here 5 or 6 times prior. For our guests, however, this was their first visit - and it's always fun to introduce friends to our favorite places. We had an 830p reservation and after a very short delay were offered a nice indoor table. Music was peppy 70's disco playing at just the right volume to he heard and enjoyed but without interfering in our conversation. The food was on point, as always. For appetizers, we enjoyed cocktails and the grilled artichokes, mussels and steak tartare. All were wonderful. For dinner, I had the pork chop (again) and wife the cacio e pepe (again). Both were done perfectly. Then, promptly at 10pm, the restaurant appeared to be breaking down for the night. The staff began stacking chairs and cleaning empty tables - all while we were finishing our main courses! And as this was a birthday celebration, we wanted to order desert. We should have taken their hint and left, but we said amongst ourselves that we weren't going to let them diminish our evening. So, after tracking down our server who was cleaning silverware, we ordered and quickly ate pavlova and cookies as they continued with their focus on closing for the night by literally dragging out their trash bins thru the dining room and right past our table at 10:05 pm. It almost ruined our evening. Almost. The excellent drinks, food, service, care and attention that we typically receive and always makes us feel special was all but forgotten in their rush to close and leave. We will return, hopefully many times, but won't be doing so at 830p.

    This was our first time at Bar Cecil. And we were somewhat disappointed. First, we were seated inside in the bar area. The noise level was exceptionally high, which made conversation difficult. The service was okay, if a bit slow. The beverage menu was adequate, if a bit overpriced. The food tasted fine, but not exceptional, and the portion sizes were adequate. The prices were quite high, all things considered. Overall, we left thinking we were glad to having finally experienced Bar Cecil, but most likely won’t return in the near future.

    It’s a great little addition to Palm Springs. The food that was prepared was very well executed. They’ve created a nice enjoyable environment with stylish decor, and menu offerings. The manager was not the friendliest. Once we paid our bill, we were tapped on the shoulder and asked if we could leave because the next reservation has shown up. Would’ve been nice to have some sort of notice that would happen before we booked a reservation or when we got there. There was no indication of any time restraint. Could’ve been done a classier way. Oh well. Otherwise we had a great experience.
