   Bar Cecil is always exceptional. The food, service and bar are not only the best in Coachella Valley, but across the country. Don’t miss menu items inc steak frites, sole meunière, pork chop. Grilled artichoke a great starter as well. Good wine and cocktail list served by “A” bartenders as well. A bit pricey and a challenging res, but well worth the wait.

   Exceeded all expectations and they were high expectations. Bread & Butter, Escargot, Caviar, Cacio e Pepe, Ribeye, and the dessert were all exquisite. Service and ambiance/decor top notch. Cannot recommend enough. It's not just hype; it's a world class experience.

   My second visit to Bar Cecil, we’d go more often but it is a 45 minute drive for us (in La Quinta) and very difficult to get a reservation because it is fantastic, but small. Had a lovely birthday dinner which the staff made special with a card on the table and an unannounced candle-lit dessert. Cocktails are on point (delicious French 75, love the Jade Vanity, the $50 martini is worth every penny…)and the food is so delicious. The creamy duck pate is so subtly seasoned - perfectly balanced, the rolls are a must, pork chop, filet of sole superb. Someday I will try one of the delicious sounding salads but it always strikes me as wiser to save room for the less reconstructable courses. This time I tried the special, a mushroom pot pie - it was savory, filling, and beautiful as well with its shiny golden puff pastry chapeau. Interesting wine list with good values on delicious choices. All four of us eat at lovely restaurants regularly, and agreed Bar Cecil is very special. Cool decor and vibe, fun staff (Manuel! Anthony!), and suuuuuch good food!

   If you can get a reservation to Bar Cecil, it’s well worth the trip. Our group enjoyed all of the following—-hangar steak, Thai mussels, sole meunière, and duck pate. The fries that came with the hangar steak were perfectly thin and crispy. The Old Fashioned is an excellent drink,if you enjoy alcohol.

   This was our second time dining at Bar Cecil and it was just as amazing as the first. We loved the food and ambience. The steak, martinis, bread, and shrimp were incredible. Erick M provided us exceptional service. Highly recommend.

   Snagged a 7:15 opening due to cancellation… lucky us! Great reception… Alex awesome! And then spent time in courtyard … relaxed wine and had the chance to meet the owner! Warm and welcoming! Lovely booth on south wall with excellent service and guidance. Cacio e Pepe lovely! Our table service provider felt the steak in the steak frites was a bit meager.. on his own accord ..he brought a lovely supplemental morsel … prepared perfectly. Bar Cecil does it right and is a wonderful spot for a special event or an escape from the expected… highly recommended without any doubt!!

    The perfect place for cocktails and a simple delicious dinner with wonderful friendly professional service. Reminds me of those wonderful Paris bistros but with better art! And speaking of art, what a fabulous collection from Hockney to Calder! And those deviled eggs and that onion tart! Love this place!
