    We shared a salad and each had an egg sandwich. What might be rudimentary in the hands of another chef was unusual and special. Each bite popped with flavor and happy surprise at the imaginative mix of ingredients. Definitively want to return.

    Cecily is the super elevated entirely casual local restaurant that makes you feel welcome and lucky to live somewhere that appreciates small, intimate, classy spaces with the most friendly staff and an amazing seasonal menu and unique wines. They have a few cult favorite dishes that make you certain you need to come back the next day and a little afraid knowing that the season will change and you'll have to find a new favorite. And then you do and all is well.
