Ryan AmbsMarch 8, 2015Interesting food that is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. Prawns were good but wish there was more than two.
Julius BryantApril 9, 2016Went for brunch. Got the brisket & egg, macaroni, and salmon fritters. Everything was 🔥.
Brett PerryApril 13, 2015Loved the Roti Platter. Fun takes on southern ingredients with a modern twist. Good stuff!
Fueled CollectiveSeptember 16, 2013Keep an eye out for this chic Harlem restaurant. The Cecil offers Afro-Asian-American cuisine. The decor is beautiful and is headed by Richard Parsons.
julia tNovember 14, 2015Great service, food a bit overhyped. Oxtail dumplings delish. Fried Guinea hen didn't quite come together.
SuMarch 8, 20141st time I've ever been to a restaurant & literally EVRRYTHING we had was amazing! Great date night spot.- TrevorFebruary 15, 2014Drinks remain good but what was a promising African-inspired brunch menu has joined the flocks of fried chicken and grits.
- I recommend you our new appetizer for this season the Heirloom Tomato Salad #TheCecil #ILoveThisPlace #Harlem
Stephanie WuFebruary 9, 2014Mini yard dogs are delicious. And the gumbo is a must; has such great flavor!
ReevesDecember 8, 2014The food here is phenomenal for brunch. The chicken waffles is almost better than roscoes
Ginger KelleyFebruary 2, 2014Amazing restaurant!!!! Every dish is to die for and such a great atmosphere!
Monica QOctober 25, 2013Order the cocktail, A Kiss. Made with pisco, grapes and lemon juice - it's delicious!- Before the leave, stop at the bar and enjoy the amazing cocktails of #Jorge #NYC #RestaurantWeek #CECILHarlem #ThankYouSoMuchJesus
Roy ChinOctober 21, 2014If you're choosing between the fried guinea hen and something else, go with the guinea hen
Love this place but avoid Saturday nights unless you're into loud. soulless club music.
Benjamin HanauApril 5, 2014Incredible upscale Harlem restaurant serving American dishes with an African twist.
Not a hotel restaurant. The apartments above are for people coming out of the shelter system. It is called a SRO. Some of the rooms are half the size of a train cart. Wealth over poverty at its best.
Poussin yassa, salmon, oxtail dumplings, beet salad... ALL DESSERTS.
Tory ShaheenMay 9, 2015Oxtail dumplins good. Swordfish over cooked to mush, sugar sauce on duck too sweet, one prawn was mushy (rotten, dead when cooked). Service was good. Expensive.
Vicky MitzJanuary 31, 2016The food was really good, which is unfortunate, because the experience itself was not. They need to get their act together.
Harlem AmbassadorSeptember 11, 2013Get ready for the next major destination to Harlem's dining scene. With investors like Dick Parson's of Citibank/Amex fame, this place will surely draw finance types w/ expense accounts. Afro-Asian?
Nar AhnAugust 25, 2014Sausage potstickers were very good. Golden snapper was gross and the staff could use more training.
