    Our experience at Bar Cecil was OVER the top! We tried to get a reservation here for weeks, and ended up getting a last minute reservation. Our waiter, Josh, made the entire experience so pleasant and made us feel like we were Palm Springs locals. We were celebrating a birthday and he made us feel very special! We had the grilled artichokes and steak frites and my mom says “they were the best steak frites she’s ever had”. I would 10/10 recommend going to Bar Cecil if you can get a resy!!!
