Cecil and Lime 227 East Cecil Street, Springfield, OH 45503

"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."

"Great food, friendly staff, very clean facilities. Great portions. Fun atmosphere. Ramp entrance. We dined inside but they have a spacious outdoor area (covered)"

"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!"
