The Cecil

Tips

• The cinnamon-scented fried guinea hen at this Harlem hot spot totally smells mind-blowingly fantastic.

• Most incredible cocktails and dishes. Cocktails are unique but not contrived. Dishes are pure soul food that's asian/afro inspired. Service is relaxed, sometimes a bit slow, but incredibly gracious.

• The Sahara Nights cocktail is a perfect drink! It is a blend of Chandon, apricot liqueur, strawberry puree, and lime juice.

• The menu has things like deviled eggs, oxtail dumplings, a salad of heirloom beets and Brussels sprouts, a wagyu rib burger, duck two ways, and fried guinea hen. Entrees are priced in the mid-20s.

• Get 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?

• Great find. Had a great dinner here. Nice ambiance. Space is a good size. Branzino was excellent. Give it a try. #TheCecil #mustgo

• Keep 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.

• Guinea hen, ginger squid, oxtail dumplings, Mac and cheese, gumbo - you really can't go wrong

• Oxtail dumplings!!!!!!!!

• Exceptional food matched with an amazing ambience. Try the pork ribs paired with pineapple black fried rice.

• Points for creativity are deserved at this Afro-American-Asian eatery, although the execution falls short. The oxtail dumplings and Brisket and Eggs are some of the stronger dishes.

• The West African beef suya is thin-sliced in the traditional Nigerian style and rubbed in onion, garlic and ginger powders. It packs an unexpected, barbecue-like punch.

• Great service, food a bit overhyped. Oxtail dumplings delish. Fried Guinea hen didn't quite come together.

• Lamb ribs are orgasmic, real yummy for meat lovers, followed by Cecil's take on Fejuada(Brazilian) is incredible - be warned though it's spicy and your tastebuds will dance with spicy flavors!
