   We’re in from Chicago and visit Bar Cecil every year. Up till now! Service was non existent, dinner never arrived, no one providing update. Just ghosted us. Some women came by said I know your meals late have a couple of drinks on us. I don’t drink, could have spend an extra 2 minutes with an apology and all would be good. This place knows it’s popular and in demand, acts like it should be the customers honor to dine there. Too many other choices in PS. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

   A lovely place to dine. Cozy, yet "room enough." Our server, Holly, did a great job, and we've come to learn what to order that pleases our palate. The mixed drinks are "spot-on," and there's a flair about the place that shouts, "This is really 'nice'."

   One of the best restaurants in the desert and all of it is deserved, from the service, vibe, to food, everything was perfect. Can’t wait to come back.

   Excellent food! This is our 4th visit and we love it! Love the decor and energy. Richard stopped by our table which was very nice. We cannot wait to see the new bar.

   Reservations strongly recommended! Many people who did not have reservations were delicately turned away or asked to wait a bit. Thankfully we had a reservation! Arrived a tiny bit early and immediately was sat on the patio in a corner table. Let's start with cocktails - perfectly made, and a great wine list too. Apps were delicious and entrees were even more delicious. For the apps we enjoyed the grilled artichoke and deviled eggs. Gotta say they are on it for service - bowl was full from artichoke leaves and they immediately swapped it out! For dinner we ordered the Cacio e Pepe (cooked to perfection), 2 sol de mer (light and yummy) and the pork chop (OMG). Service was efficient and friendly. The vibe is awesome. Decor leaves you looking everywhere. Someone paid attention to all the deets. Such a wonderful experience we will be back.

   Service was excellent as was the atmosphere. The noise level was quite high which was not experienced on previous visits; perhaps it was the uncomfortable couch like seating area with back against the bar. The pillows were oversized which made the seat uncomfortable, though dining mates said the chairs opposite were very comfortable. The drinks were phenomenal as was the food, including onion tart and pork chop, however the accompanying au gratin potatoes unique, a bit dry and not a good pairing. However the French Fries were amongst the best ever.

    Had a great dinner at Bar Cecil! The martini was ice cold and the steak frites were delicious. Loved all the decor too - we will definitely be back.
