“Great place and awesome service and drinks“

“Yummy food and super friendly staff.“

“This place surprised me in the best way possible. I came for a casual lunch and ended up staying longer because the food was so good. The BBQ pulled pork sandwich was juicy and tender, and the coleslaw was fresh and tangy. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable.“

“Such a vibe! It’s giving speak-easy vibes. Extremely welcoming and friendly staff. Great drinks! Great place for a date night, night out with the girlies or guys, cool place to take someone out for drinks on business. HIGHLY recommend!!!!“

“Staff is amazing, food and drinks are delicious, you can bring your fur-babies, you're not sitting on top of each other, the vibe is relaxing with great music playing in the background, but not too loudly. We had a fantastic time!“

“I had the most wonderful birthday dinner at Bar Cecil! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely perfect. My sister and I loved every dish we tried, and our server, Jonathan, was so friendly and attentive—we adored him. The pacing of the meal was spot on—we were able to savor each course without ever feeling rushed yet never waiting too long. Every detail at Bar Cecil is beautifully considered, from the ambiance and décor (yes, even the bathrooms!) to the little touches that make it feel truly unique. Bar Cecil is a gem, and I can’t wait to come back. Thank you for making my birthday unforgettable!“

“Just love the vibe, the food, the swanky cocktails and the service. Thank you for a fun experience and the Bear behind the bar 🐻“

“The atmosphere takes you to a village in Mexico. The food is authentic. Love the nachos. Pleasant wait staff.“

“Amazing dinner! The biscuits might have been the best thing we've eaten all year. All dishes were great though. We sat in the main dining area, which was more casual hotel vibe, whereas the lounge looked more like the darker restaurant vibe. Depends what you want. We'll definitely be back!“

“A perfect intersection of chill/casual meets chic and tasteful, great spot to grab dinner (or breakfast) if you're in Palm Springs. Food is delicious, we loved the Branzino but the plant forward menu as a whole is perfectly curated. Gary and all the other staff are wonderful. Attentive but not overbearing, looked after us so well! Beautiful vibes - would absolutely return again.“

Our waiter was Jonathan was very friendly and attentive . This place is a gem and in the perfect location downtown!“

“I have had lunch at this restaurant before, so I made a reservation to meet a dear friend whom I haven’t seen for a while. The pool and deck area is going through a renovation so we had to eat inside. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding! It was perfect for a great conversation and catching up with my friend. I highly recommend this restaurant/bar nested in the Avalon boutique hotel and bungalows.“

“We were traveling and this was first time at a Tommy Bahamas (honestly didn’t know they existed except for their clothing line)… we were pleasantly surprised and reminded us a lot of a Kona Grill but better tasting and less expensive!… even sought out the manager to tell him so… service was also on par… we do highly recommend it…“
