The Cecil - New York City

Came here for a work event. The staff are very friendly and kind. The food was spot on. The drinks are pretty good. My first drink was a little weak I advised the bartender the drink he made was awesome. I will definitely go back

I rarely/never give places 5 stars, but baby, this place is amazing! The food was soooo good. I had the soup and a shrimp salad. But I also got to taste my friends plates. They had steak, lamb and fried chicken. It was alll VERY GOOD. The ambiance was topnotch. We got to dance with the person putting on the amazing show. I could go on all day... I would come back here again andagain.

I love a good steakhouse and Harlem's The Cecil is an affordable entry in this arena. We ordered the Lamb Dibi and Porterhouse entrees, they were well seasoned but the Porterhouse was overcooked and the lamb was oversalted (and I like salty foods). Stillvery good for the price point. The entertainment rivals the fare here, there is a live DJ creating an almost party likeatmosphere and a belly dancer that performs; it's a great time to be had on a Saturday night!

I accidently ran into this place. I have been in the neighborhood for 20 years and never knew of this place. The decor was beautiful and jazz looking. Service was wonderful and the food was great. They even had a comedy show available the night I wasthere. I simply sat at the bar. Went again the following week to imtroduce my friend to this place for drink and food. Sheloved it.

When the zecil first opened, it was considered a harlem gemstone. when I entered the restaurant after I didn't do it in some time, I was terribly disappointed. gone is the posh elegance and overall chic throwback of the cecil offered once at his place: a badly maintained, underoccupied, drab and louder down. the menu was once elegant, now it is just a common place tired and real offer. I was so disappointed and hurt by what I saw/experienced, I will never return.
