    The hostess kindly moved us to a larger table with no issues when our party grew from 3 to 5. The service was excellent with a few different server, bussers, and runners making sure we had drinks and clearing used plates and glasses. The food was EXCELLENT. I would highly recommend this spot.

    Arrived a few minutes after our reservation time and were promptly seated. The place has such a chill but vibey feel. One of the coolest spots in the East Village. Ordered the anchovy toast - so fresh. Ordered the Mackerel, burger and mushroom risotto - all cooked to perfection. Banana split sundae to finish - with some soju cocktails on the side. The owner is incredibly personable - and made us feel as if we’re at his home. Highly recommend this gem if you’re in need of quality food, service and vibes!

    Food was great, service was slow between table touches - we would have ordered an additional round if someone had checked in more frequently.

    This was my first visit to Cecilia for brunch with a friend. I ordered the Creole Shrimp and Grits, which were perfection. The addition of some non-coffee based drinks like Chai (with a non-dairy “milk”, like soy or almond) would make this the perfect brunch spot that I would return to.
