"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?"

    Cocktails were delicious & hand crafted right in front of us! The food was absolutely delectable my steak was cooked to perfection along with the caccio de Pepe! The espresso martini & chocolate cookies were a perfect way to end an amazing dinner! Thanks Alex the great host & the Avery the bartender who over excelled in service!

    Bar Cecil exceeded expectations, fabulous cocktails and excellent pork chop. A bit pricy but worth the experience.
