It was Grandma birthday one of my family members picked the place. Came in sit down ordered our food it took two hours then it was cold by time we was done everyone around us was gone like they purposely didn't serve us until most of everyone was gone then had the nerve to take a tip. To be honest I ain't never sat in a restaurant for over three hours. If it wasn't for my grandmas birthday I would have been left

This is the second time I've had to give an establishment lower than four stars. I want to be fair here. If I don't like a restaurant, I just don't review it usually. To be fair to Cecil and Lime the Lamb Chops and Caesar Salad were excellent, but that is where the flattery stops and I had to really think before judging.I went on a Saturday night for a date after a Candle Light Orchestra concert. We called and the receptionist was very friendly when taking the reservation. Upon arriving the outdoor and indoor decor did not match the prices that were being charged. Everything is ala carte first the dishes I did not care for.The bruschetta was $9 and had the taste and appearance of a $2 loaf of Italian bread cut up and lightly toasted. Tomatoes were from a generic can and had Kroger crumbled Parmesan that you put on a cheap midweek spaghetti dinner to feed a family of five. "Do not get this dish" it's not how properly made bruschetta from a restaurant should be.The $32 steak was a Ribeye and it was flavorful but tough. My date was unimpressed and disappointed as steak is what she wanted.The $38 Rack Of Lamb- I have to say this dish was divine. I extremely liked it and it was the saving grace for this dining experience.Service started okay. However we were left for a long period of time after we received our drinks and during and after the meal. The waitress was friendly but very inattentive.The ambience was semi nicely decorated. But you could tell this was a gutted double wide modular home that was then priced together to try and play Springfield's high end establishment. Paisley Curtains everywhere, houseplants, a makeshift bar, and creaking floors did not help this reviewer.For this lack luster eating experience the total came too $125. the gratuity was cash. No I did not cheat. The waitress received 20%.I wanted to love this place, and find a gem in in this city. However when the prices,service and ambience don't match I can't in good conscious tell anyone to eat here.I have dined in a lot of high end and mom and pop restaurants. I could not in good conscious give this a two because of the Lamb. That again was the only saving grace.

Ate there on an Tuesday evening in their garden room. The food itself was great. The filet was perfectly cooked. The hostess was very nice and gave us our pick of seating. It was a nice and quiet dinner until a guest guitarist came and was disproportionately loud for the given atmosphere. For a $60 steak though, i really do expect high quality "everything", and the silverware and steak knives were very cheap. Very small portions.

I proposed to my girlfriend here. They went out of their way to make it a very special night and they even had someone there to sing to us. Thank you!!!

We ate at Cecil & Lime last evening for our Christmas Celebration with close friends. We have always loved the food in the past and left not much more than the bone from our Tomahawk Ribeyes.This year things have changed and we as a group have decided we won’t be back. For 2 people who had an appetizer, salad, ribeye and 1 other side item; drinking only water our bill was $111 with gratuity $20 and tax came to $141. An expensive dinner without drinks, but worth it in the past. Last night however was a huge difference for us.The ribeye was not the Tomahawk, but that was fine. The part that made the decision not to return is the quality of meat we got. At least a fourth of my ribeye was un-chewable gristle that was left on the plate. While what I ate was ok, it was not great like years past. Our group decided that the quality of food this time was below what we could have gotten at LoneStar.No doubt recent times have made everyone make decisions based on financial reasons. We were still willing to pay for what we expected would be great food. When what we got was far below what he have gotten there in the past we were shocked. We discussed this point as a group before even leaving and made our decision not to return before we finished talking and left. If I could offer anything to the owner I would say; Not just any steak made your reputation! What you have now will only keep the friends of family returning, and that is not likely to keep you open for years to come.Signed,Very disappointed

Wonderful place to dine on a fall evening. Pork Chops and Prime Rib are phenomenal!! I went for something different and got the Candied Jalapeño Spread and it’s got an enough spice to get your attention, but not too much!

Old school spot - the steaks and prime rib were excellent, and the potatoes au gratin were absolutely phenomenal.
