Cecil and Lime

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!

They still got it!

I’ve been living overseas for a while and this used to be one of my favorite places to eat in Springfield. After 10 years, they are still awesome! Great service and delicious food! Ice water came to our table within 30 seconds of sitting down.

We ordered and shared the Chicken Marsala, Cecil House salad and I ordered two of the Oysters Rockefeller.

First to come out was the salad and the complementary toasted bread with some oil for dipping. The salad and bread were perfectly prepared and tasted fresh.

The Chicken Marsala came out almost immediately after we finished the salad. Timing on their part was incredibly well thought out.

The Chicken Marsala was amazing! The sauce with mushrooms was executed quite well. We decided to order the veggie if the day to accompany the main, which was the green beans. Also great!

We will be back again soon!

Went here for Easter dinner. I highly recommend CnL. Had onion soup, Cesar salad and Black n Blue ribeye. 7 layer chocolate cake.
It's been a long time since we had such a perfect dining experience.
Thank you so much!!! 🤠

I've been here several times, but prior to last night its been a long time. I've been driving by for several weeks and saw they have a Wednesday night deal. Finally talked my wife into going, definitely not disappointed. Our server was very pleasant, food was delicious.
I'll be back much sooner than the last time.

May 2023 - I've been wanting to go for a while, trying to get my wife to get on the same page. She was out of town, so I took my son. Food was just as great as before. I made the mistake of sitting outside this time, was just a little chilly for that. Server was friendly-ish I guess, since I hardly saw her after she took our order.

There were 3 tables seated outside, 2 were covered by a server on top of her game. She was attentive and super. Our server was either covering tables inside or just hitting the end of her shift. I'll have to come back to verify the situation.

When we entered out host Josiah looked up our reservation and promptly had our table ready. Our server Ken took great care of us throughout our visit. Atmosphere was vey pleasant, music was not too loud. Our appetizer was different, but very good. We chose the candied jalapeños. My wife had the lasagna with cucumber and onion salad. Very good!! I chose prime rib with the potatoes au gratin. The prime rib was amazing, amazing!! Delicious!! Potatoes au gratin was delicious and prepared very well. We had Long Island iced teas for our drinks and they were excellent. In short, we had a great experience and will definitely be back to try some other items on the menu!!!

My husband and I have never been to this restaurant before. We have passed it on many occasions and have heard great things about the restaurant from friends. This time was no different we actually stopped in to buy a friend a gift certificate and ended up eating dinner after speaking with the manager. You could tell the manager loved her job and spoke highly of this restaurant, which convinced us to give it a try. We found that the atmosphere (it can be casual or dressy) don't let the white tablecloths and low lighting fool you. Because from what we observed (I was actually in a t-shirt myself) there was no dress code - just a great cozy little restaurant, which included an outdoor patio as well. We found that the food was excellent, especially the steak and baked Mac-n-Cheese (definitely recommend trying both of those). Bottom line was we were made to feel very WELCOME in a restaurant with a nice cozy atmosphere that had awesome steaks and drinks with fantastic service. We definitely will be back - there is a reason they have been in business for 19 years they definitely care about their customers!!! Thank You for an awesome dinner!!!

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

Wow can't believe I have not been to this place yet all this time well just saying I'll be back next week and the week after and after wow 😳 🤯

Best steak in town. Fair price for the steak too but the sides are a la carte. Which kind of dampened the mood but the steak more than made up for it. Great drinks as well.

We had an amazing meal at the bar with our super bartender Carry tonight!! Everything was perfect! I highly recommend this place.

Recently had our 40 year high school reunion here, and I think I'm safe to say we all had great time.

This is an amazing place. Rachel is a fantastic waitress, The food is high quality and incredible, and the staff is very polite, professional, and very knowledgeable of their menu, and they remember your name!
You have to try this hidden gem!

Great dining venue! Good food and wine. Love the Seven Daughters Moscato! Nice ambience!

The Entrance and first impression:

Wife and I tried this place today. Was just a random stop. Knew nothing about this restaurant. Employees were SUPER friendly. Soon as we walked in we could tell we were under dressed. T-shirts, shorts and flip flops. Everyone else was nicely dressed. Even seen Porches in the parking lot (yes, seen several fancy cars in the lot). Yet, We didn't get treated any different. The atmosphere had a "higher class" feel to it. First thing we seen was a man on a white piano playing with another guy singing. Nice thick white table cloths with black fancy folded handkerchiefs on the plate next to a salad and dinner fork. (Pinkies up people!!) Our waitress was a sweetheart. We told her we've never been there. She took the time to explain the menu, how their pricing worked, recommended foods ect. We sat outside in the covered patio area. It was getting later and the lighting came on. My wife loved the night air and the lighting. We ordered steaks and had a salad. This place is "Ala-cart". No bundle deals. Everything is separate, yes even salads. My wife is in a wheel chair with a service dog. They didn't give us any grief and accommodated us with a friendly smile.

The food:

The salad had a good flavor to it. We ordered steaks (Ribeye) medium well.
The steaks were cooked well and had a nice flavor to them. No A1 sauce needed. She had a strawberry margarita and said it was very good! I don't drink, so I don't know. I would rank it almost as good as Texas Roadhouse.

Other customers:

Other customers inside were extremely nice. One lady came over and talked to us for a bit. She was so friendly. I'm not use to this and it added a calm peaceful mood.

The Pricing:

Defiantly not a place you could eat at daily unless you got some extra cash. As the pricing and Ala-Cart style ordering makes each meal rather expensive.

Overall:

Overall. I was surprised and enjoyed my experience here. I would recommend it if your looking for a nice place to take a date or just want a fancier place than McDonalds.

Would I go back? yes.

Had dinner here Saturday night. Quite possibly the best dining experience I have had since moving to Ohio. Everyone was great. The filet was phenomenal. Husband loved his prime rib. Thank you to everyone there Saturday night. We will definitely be back!

We have eaten here twice so far. Food is excellent. Regular menu is alacarte. Entrees are reasonably priced but sides are a little pricey. Good and inexpensive wine list.

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!!!

My office held our Christmas party here. Born and raised in Springfield, I couldn’t believe we have a restaurant with a REAL CHEF! Don’t pass up an opportunity to eat at Cecil & Lime. Very attentive service and the food was amazing!

Celebrating a close friend’s birthday was made even more special by dining at Cecil and Lime! The 8 Oz. Filet was one of the best I have ever had. We will definitely be making our “go to” place to celebrate birthdays!
