A chic and sophisticated décor provides the setting for our distinctive "world cuisine", a provocative mix of zesty influences that creates a delightful dining experience in Palm Springs, California. Plush high-backed semicircular banquettes surround our dining room and offer comfortable and private seating. The cuisine has a light, exotic feel with an emphasis on Pacific Rim specialties, from Chilean Sea Bass baked in Banana Leaves or Kahlua-Barbecued Pork Chops to all sorts of tasty tapas, salads, wood-fired pizzas, and desserts. The Coral Seas Lounge, a hip mid-century style bar is lined with sexy black leather bar-stools and is reminiscent of the upbeat lounges of old Palm Springs. It wraps around the dining room and leads outside to a lush, tropical, 2000 square foot dining patio where a variety of specialty cocktails and old-school favorites are mixed - an ideal place where friends gather and martinis are sipped under the starlit desert sky.

    There are only a handful of restaurants that can cook a pork chop the way it’s supposed to be cooked. Medium Rare (not white, not too pink, but slightly pink). Bar Cecil is spot on when it comes to cooking pork chops the way I like them. In fact, I’ve eaten here three times, and all three times, I’ve had the chop. DELICIOUS! My only comment is that I wish you had black napkins for those of us who wear white slacks. White napkins, no matter how many times they’ve been washed, do, in fact, leave link on clothing. When I asked the bus boy for a black napkin, he said that I was the third person that night to ask. Hint, hint. Thanks for a great experience.
