“Delicious dinner, top notch employees, and in such a beautiful space.”

Was a highlight of our 3 night stay. Despite the menu not being extensive, everyone in our group found something to enjoy. The halibut was cooked to perfection, with an outstanding puree, the pork chop was gigantic, the burgers served in a their own box, the cacio e pepe had a great kick. Although the risotto was a tad salty it was a lovely accompaniment to other dishes. The steak tar tar was amazing, and steak frites was off the charts. The excellent service made the entire experience, as did the intimate chic French Riveria vibes.

We had a fantastic time at Bar Cecil. We didn’t have a reservation so we waited for seats at the bar. We had amazing service, the best food, and loved the atmosphere. For an appetizer we had the bread & butter, dinner the pork chop and steak frites, finished off with cookies & ice cream for dinner. Everything was cooked to perfection with amazing flavor. Highly recommend!

Bar Cecil is easily one of the best spots in Palm Springs. The vibe is classic but relaxed, with a cool old-school feel that makes the whole place fun from the moment you walk in. The service was fantastic and the staff really knows their stuff without being over the top. The food and drinks were both excellent. Everything felt thoughtful and well done, from the cocktails to the dishes. It is the kind of place where you want to take your time and enjoy the whole experience. If you are visiting Palm Springs this place is a must. We will definitely be back.
