I wandered over to Bar Cecil blindly thinking I could just walk in and be seated but no, this place is poppin. By a stroke of luck they had a last minute cancellation at Beatons and I was seated at a cozy little table. The drinks were fantastic and carefully balanced. The food, while I only had some bar bites was top notch. Keana was very kinda and attentive and knowable about the cocktails as well as a few off menu cocktail suggestions. Thanks for helping make a challenging week end in fantastic fashion. read more

Beaton's at Bar Cecil - Lounges Near Me - Palm Springs, California

We are frequent clients of Bar Cecil and have always enjoyed the most consistently excellent food there. Naturally, we were terribly excited to try Beaton's, its sister lounge next door, and we chose it for a rather special occasion. We were there with another couple to celebrate a very significant milestone in our business, an evening we had been looking forward to for some time. I am afraid it did not quite live up to the family name. The room itself is perfectly charming. The décor is inviting, rather glamorous and great fun, and one arrives full of the happiest anticipation. It is all the more regrettable, then, that the service fell so very far short of the setting. We began by ordering the truffle French fries as an appetiser, to enjoy before our dinner. Alas, they arrived at the table cold and soggy, which I found most unpleasing indeed. When we raised the matter with our server, she regarded us as though we had just arrived from another planet. There was no apology whatsoever. She took the fries away and assured us that a fresh plate would follow, yet it never came. For the remainder of the evening her manner was decidedly cool and unfriendly, as if we had committed some dreadful impropriety by mentioning it at all. To add insult to injury, when the bill arrived at the end of the meal, there were the very fries we had never received, charged in full. We asked that the charge be removed, yet she simply forgot to do so, and the matter was never mentioned again. It is hardly the note on which one wishes to end a celebration. To be fair, the food itself was of a good standard, and our dinner was genuinely good and very nice. It was not the kitchen so much as a general air of indifference that let the evening down. The staff simply seemed not to care, and on a night that meant so much to us, and coming from a house we hold in such high regard, that was a great disappointment. Good hospitality is every bit as important as good cooking, and one expects a little more attention to detail. Beaton's has every ingredient of a truly splendid evening: a lovely room, a delightful atmosphere and a kitchen capable of good food. Should the service ever rise to meet the surroundings, we should be very pleased indeed to return. read more

I've never left a one-star review, but unfortunately our experience at Beaton's at Bar Cecil left such a bad taste in my mouth. We made a reservation well in advance and arrived about 45 minutes early. Since we were early, we asked if we could sit at the bar at Bar Cecil and have a drink while we waited. We were told they were too busy and couldn't accommodate us, which was completely understandable. What wasn't understandable was what happened next. Since they were clearly very busy, we decided we'd rather cancel our reservation and go elsewhere. The host, Sam, responded rather snottily that we would still be charged for canceling. When I asked for her name, instead of simply providing it, she repeatedly responded, "Have a good evening." I asked again. Same response: "Have a good evening." At that point, since she was bold enough to essentially dismiss me and tell me to get lost, I again asked for her name. If you're going to stand behind the interaction, at least tell a guest who they're speaking with. She walked away rather than giving me her name and apparently went to get a manager. Interestingly, the manager approached us from the opposite direction, immediately provided her name when I asked, and politely asked if everything was okay. I explained that his host had been unnecessarily dismissive and unprofessional and that I would be reaching out about the experience. We were also encouraged to go to Seymour's because they were so busy, despite the fact that we actually had a reservation. For the record, I love Seymour's, so that wasn't exactly a punishment. But the entire interaction was strange. I'm a frequent visitor to Palm Springs and a loyal patron of many of its signature restaurants and bars, so I'm very familiar with busy establishments and completely understand that accommodations can't always be made. This wasn't about not getting a bar seat or having to wait. It was about how the situation was handled. Hospitality is just as much about how you treat people as it is about the food, drinks, or exclusivity of a reservation. Unfortunately, this interaction felt unnecessarily condescending and unwelcoming. Not the vibe I expected from Bar Cecil, and definitely not the experience I expected after making a reservation in advance. read more

Sooooo good. Came here while we waited for a table at bar Cecil and it was amazing. The drinks were really well crafted + they served olives and potato chips as bar snacks. The vibe inside was super cute. Would absolutely come back!! read more

I wasn't able to get a rsvp for bar cecil and ended up eating small bites at beaton's. I was so impressed. The quality of the food and drinks did not disappoint. I appreciated all the details and plating of each dish and cocktail. The ambience is sexy whether that's indoors our outdoor seating. This has been added to my go-to list in Palm Springs ! Service was incredible and staff was always attentive. read more

Another hit concept from the Bar Cecil group. Ambiance (5/5) If you've visited the next door restaurant, Bar Cecil, then you know how limited the inside space is; however, this place is the complete opposite and had a much larger (and air conditioned) indoor space with small tables, booths, and limited bar seating. The interior design sets the vibe immediately when you walk in and it's decorated in an old school posh way to make you feel like you stepped back in time. You may have to use your cameras flash to take photos as the mood lighting is on the darker side. Good for a date night or a small gathering with friends. Food (5/5) I honestly liked the food better here than at their restaurant next door because the execution of the dishes seemed better. The menu was a little confusing because they had a section where it mentioned you can't order certain menu items until after 9pm, but my server informed me that the whole menu was available at the time (I went during the summer season so may or may not be available during busier seasons!) I ended up ordering the bao buns, shrimp cocktail, steak, burger, and chocolate mousse. The best item by far was the steak because it was surprisingly cooked exactly to my liking (medium) which has been hard to find a restaurant in the Coachella valley to achieve this. Other notable highlights were the bao buns (a must order!) and the chocolate mousse. Drinks (5/5) The best cocktails in town and it's not even close! I ordered the Windsor and it came with a tiny bottle of underberg which is a type of German bitters. I was recommended by the server to add only a little bit of the underberg as I consumed the cocktail and it was a perfect pairing to complement the drink. My friend ordered the Singapore sling and thought it was not overly sweet and great overall. Probably the best place to get cocktails in the Coachella Valley because of the unique combinations and superior execution in the preparation of their cocktails. Service (4.5/5) The service workers were very attentive throughout the meal, but I felt the food came out a little bit too quickly and randomly. My steak arrived before the small appetizers arrived so I thought that could have been worked out a little better. But it is hard to complain when the drinks and food come out quickly. Overall (4.8/5) Highly recommend to make a reservation and check out this place before it gets even busier. read more

Beaton's at Bar Cecil - The Brock. My favorite cocktail at Beaton's - Lounges Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Amazing place for cocktails and a snack. We had 5:30 reservations, which were not hard to get in advance. Best cocktail was My Fair Lady, fresh and verdant tasting. The Brock was a take on a margarita with a great foam topping Bright Young Thing was also excellent, especially if you like gin. Orange foam was delish. Skip Portrait in Pink. Tasted like perfume to me. But the waitress was great and got me a new drink when I didn't like this one that I originally ordered. Short ribs baos were *chef's kiss*. For sure, get them. We'll likely be back the next time we're in Palm Springs. I want to try their late night (after 9pm) menu to get a lobster roll! read more

Came here for a business meeting and the aesthetic crossover from bar Cecil to beatons was perfect. The ambiance is moody and elegant with a darker red tone throughout the establishment. The service from the staff was spot on, friendly, knowledgeable, and quick. The drinks are the real show stopper here as the few we had through the meeting were delicious and balanced! The swallows and the swing were quite nice a touch sweet but overall delicious. The steak tartare has so much potential but was missing some seasoning. The fries were good but wish they were more shoestring style, make sure you get the truffle aioli, it's delicious! Price for what you get is standard across boutique dining in the desert. read more

So pleased with this experience, booked a reservation to celebrate my birthday and was celebrated with a complimentary glass of champagne, I ordered the Singapore Sling French 75 and a Portrait in Pink! Loved every drink and loved the service! We were welcomed with good small conversation and surprised by the music! We ordered the truffle fries and the bao buns. The bao buns were perfection and the truffle fries were perfectly crispy. Cant wait to try Bar Cecil on my next trip. read more

The food at Beaton's at Bar Cecil was amazing. They had such a great vibe walked in with cool awesome red lights it felt like I was at a legit lounge. The music was amazing in there and I was enjoying my time. The service was great the waiter staff was there when anything was needed. They gave a starter with chips and olives which was amazing. The steaks were great and cooked right to my favorite temperature. The fries were really good and tasty. But my favorite part was the most delicious warm chocolate chip cookies. They were on point warm and delicious. You need to go here read more

We had a cute night cap af Beaton's. The ambiance was dark, moody, and SEXY! Reservations are hard to snag, so make sure you grab them in advance. There is tons of parking out front. We came here a little earlier than expected, and the hostess was able to accommodate. I absolutely loved the decor here. The cocktails were bold, vibrant, and had some sneaky ingredients that I appreciate. For example, The Windsor cocktail had a side shot of underberg (which is a German bitter, most commonly used for digestion after heavy meals). Also loved the Vogue King, which had mezcal & celery bitters. It was heavily herbaceous, and had beautiful green presentation. We had a fantastic night! read more

What an incredible meal! This is one of those situations, where I wish more than five stars were available. Everything about Beaton's was excellent... From the food, to the ambience, to the service, to the drinks! We were there to celebrate a birthday and the staff couldn't have been nicer and more celebratory! The room itself is incredible - dark, cool and comfortable with a very vintage vibe. 100000% will return to on our next visit! read more

Came to celebrate a birthday here and it was very vibey and aesthetic. It felt very posh and elegant. The steak (medium well) was so juicy and not chewy at all. The drinks were delicious and well crafted. I wish there was more than one waitress for the whole establishment because she felt a bit overwhelmed with all the tables but overall a cute and good experience. read more

Beaton's is what I had hoped Bar Cecil would be....a sexy, sophisticated vibe with proper cocktails and an overflow of ambiance. Bar Cecil fell short, but Beaton's delivers. I had the most perfect Kir Royale, though at $35 I think it was shamefully overpriced. The bread and butter, however, is worth the price tag. Our server, Ally, was charming but not at all pretentious. Loved the dim lighting and even through the seating is very close together, we didn't feel cramped. Ideal spot for a memorable evening out. read more

We had a reservation on Saturday and were excited to try this place since we love Bar Cecil. One thing that felt a bit odd was that the restaurant and bar share the same host stand. I wish there had been a smoother transition between the two spaces. When we arrived, the restaurant seemed only half full, but the seating arrangement was disappointing. We were placed at a communal-style table with other guests seated very close to us, which made the experience uncomfortable. We ended up asking to move to another table, and thankfully that made a big difference. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the evening. The food menu was somewhat limited, but everything we ordered was delicious. The drinks were also very good and well made. One additional thing stood out during our visit. For about 20 minutes, there appeared to be a social media photographer or content creator moving around the space, talking with several employees and taking a lot of photos. It felt somewhat distracting and out of place. I was expecting a more polished, high-end bar experience, so it took away a bit from the atmosphere. Overall, we enjoyed the food, drinks, and service, but the seating experience and overall ambiance affected our visit. While I'm glad we tried it, it's probably not a place I would visit frequently. read more

Great ambience, drinks and food. Went with friends and everyone loved it! Will definitely go back.

I have yet to dine at Bar Cecil (still can't figure out the reservations timing to actually land one), but I somehow nabbed a same-day res at its newish born sibling Beaton's. It seems Beaton's is meant to be more drink/cocktail focused, but their food menu is actually decently varied. It's a take on the French brasserie, which I'd say is rather successful as someone who has actually lived in France. I wanted to take my partner out (who happens to be French) for a nice birthday treat, and Beaton's really covered everything to the T. Fun and moody ambiance, interesting and well mixed cocktails, with surprisingly great food options including a fantastic steak au poivre et frites. Albeit a smaller filet, it was perfectly cooked and just the right amount. The beef tartare arrived first and was also on point (fresh and well prepared/seasoned); a sign of more good to come. The pigs in a blanket are wrapped in puff pastry kind of seasoned like an everything bagel. Dipped in mustard, they're an elevated and tasty take on the typical lowbrow finger food. To complete the birthday meal, we ordered a chocolate mousse, which happens to be one of my partner's favorite desserts. It truly rivals chocolate mousse commonly prepared and found in France. Just the right density of texture and depth of flavor. If you enjoy hiphop, you'll also appreciate their music selections. Heard some Tyler the Creator, OutKast, Kendrick, Travis Scott. It may be different nightly, but if not, then that's what you can likely expect. Almost forgot to add in that the complimentary potato chips and green olives when you are seated are also such a nice touch. Comfortable yet chic, a great experience all around and quite pleased by the expansion and accessibility that is Beaton's. read more

5 stars for food ambiance and service but 3 stars for variety as it's only bar food here so not a very dense menu. Vegetarians have slim pickings with just the salad but you can swap out the beef patty and bacon with an Impossible burger that they up-charge. They really need to offer more variety or allow ordering from the Bar Cecil menu. The drinks are outstanding. Some really cool and tasty options (try the Brock). read more

$62 for two martinis is diabolical. It's a cute place with a dark, classy aesthetic if that's the vibe you're going for.

Beaton's should be on everyone's list for Palm Springs. We were told by someone in a gallery to go but hard to get in without a reservation. 6 women walked in at 6:00 and were greeted by Alex. We would have been happy seated in the waiting area with green couches. Alex seated us at the Owner's table, after calling us Lovelies and telling us we would have a lovely table. The bar is beautifully decorated with chandeliers and framed photos in the bathrooms. We ordered fun cocktails, French 75s, spicy margarita and mocktails. We loved the music, and picked many of the songs to add to a dance playlist. We canceled reservations at a restaurant to stay and enjoyed deviled eggs, Girl & Dug farm salad, vegan bao buns, pigs in a blanket, oysters and colossal shrimp cocktail. Our server Alex was perfect for our group. He was very attentive, offered good suggestions from the menu, was willing to take photos for us. As the night went on and we danced and sang to the music, we had great conversations with other servers and the other host Jason as well. I texted my 33 year old daughter that she and her friends need to go to Beaton's. read more

The place looks and feels amazing. Employees only vibes for sure. The drinks were spot on. The service was great. And the food hit all the right buttons. The salad was delicious, the pasta as well. Very authentic bolognese. That bread is really really good too. I can't think of anything to change except the reservation system at all three restaurants. It's way too hard to make a reservation and really easy to walk in. I don't think people realize this. We tried for three years to eat at Bar Cecil. And even when we showed up at 5pm as instructed from the staff at Del Rey. We didn't quite understand the concept of Beatons. It is its own thing. Which wasn't made clear at the host. I just think that walk ins need to be welcome and Bar Cecil needs to be a little more accessible. Love the food at this location as it's much brighter and diverse than most. Much more flavor. read more

My girlfriend and I had a 5:30 reservation but got stuck in horrible traffic driving back from the Pasadena showcase house of design -we pulled in at 6:30 a full hour late. Great front desk staff who still accommodated us on the patio. Gorgeous interior! Very European as the waiter arrives with a three tiered silver tray with appertivo-(home made potato chips and green olives). We each ordered a petite Chablis and the steamed duck bao buns- delicious! I cannot wait to go back and really explore the menu. read more

Hospitality and food are always top priorities for me when trying a new place, and Beaton's did not disappoint. It was conveniently close to our hotel, making it the perfect choice for a date night--and I'm so glad we gave it a try. From the start, the host was inviting and attentive. We asked to possibly be seated at the bar in Beaton's. We waited briefly in the lounge for about 5-10 minutes, which gave us a chance to take in the atmosphere. Beaton's Red Room has a unique, elevated vibe that really stands out from other spots in Palm Springs--I absolutely loved it. Luis, the bartender, truly made the night memorable. His recommendations were super helpful, and his mixology skills were exceptional. I got the Singapore Sling which was yummy and sweet. I was very happy after my night out at Beaton's. read more

Beaton's at Bar Cecil - Singapore Sling - Lounges Near Me - Palm Springs, California

We ordered our meals at the same time we ordered our cocktails. We ordered steak Frites and spaghetti Bolognese. The spaghetti Bolognese arrived first and I waited about three or four minutes, hoping that my partners steak Fritz would arrive so we can enjoy the meal at the same time together. The steak fritz came way later and I told the waiter while we were waiting for the steak fritz what should I do with this spaghetti Bolognese as I would like to have dinner with my partner. Steak Frites $40 (way overpriced for the portion). Well, we finally got the steak fritz and while eating our meals we became more frustrated because everybody that went to the bar was able to get their drinks immediately as ours arrived after we ate. Our table was closest to the bar, so we witnessed the customers at the bar getting their drinks immediately Ambience and decor is amazing but playing rap music with the lyrics F this F that is not what we want and honestly that's not music that's noise. This experience left us deflated and ripped off financially. We will not go back. read more

An intoxicating interior space. Reminds me of the 1960s TV show... Wild Wild West, meets French Art Deco w some 1980s Milo Baughmandesigns in the mash up. (Ive seen this trend at The Parker, etc.) Beaton's is their bar/lounge, Bar Cecil is the restaurant. Popular with the PS boujee crowd. Drinks yes! Nibble were okay, skip the pigs in blanket and get the pomme frites. Excellent and professional friendly service from the minute you are greeted at the door. BTW we were walk ins on a Monday night with plans only to have a cocktail. We were given a table and the server was so delightful that we asked if there was an opening for dinner at Cecil... She got us a 8:15 table! There were no other openings that i saw. They are really service first here... the staff/customer ration is practically 1:1 I did try the burger... great flavor, and cute (w great pomme frites) but would not order again, other items seemed more interesting. read more

Amazing ambience definitely have to book in advance. They do take walk-ins, but I would recommend a reservation very classy French inspired restaurant with a lot of different appetizers. They do have pigs in a blanket, Bao buns, oysters, spaghetti, and some other little things to knock on. Might not be for a full meal or right before you go to bar Cecil however it was enough food for me for dinner. The drinks are amazing and I would recommend all of them they even have amazing artwork throughout the walls and the staff is very good and tons of servers to help with anything you might need. I highly recommend this place if you're able to get in. read more

The host Alex is incredibly kind and makes you feel welcomed. That is a major boss move when you walk into such a chic place bc it can be intimidating. We were sat and were immediately greeted by the wait staff. We ordered Mexican cokes and two tequilas, neat. The drinks were delivered 15 minutes later. We ordered food. A burger and steak frites. Both cooked to our desire and delicious. Nothing to rave about but a good solid meal. Beaton's is beautiful and there's a lot to take in and observe.
