"Small menu font. Adorable monster logo. Mushroom toast made with She Wolf bread. If you've been to a pleasant generic wine bar, Cecily is nothing new, and that's why we like it. This reliable Greenpoint bar with great snacks (and a few entrees too) is so useful for the neighborhood. It comes to mind for an early-in-the-game date where you pick at food, chat nervously, and don't eat the last bite of fish even though you are going to be so hungry later. Or maybe use it as a pre-dinner warm-up before heading somewhere else in the neighborhood. You've had this little gems salad and those cucumbers slick with sesame before, and that's because the flavor combos work. In a former art gallery with odd angles and trapezoidal ceilings, Cecily has a cute (but maybe not sexy) feel and plenty of same-side booth seating that’ll charm your date without the pressure that comes with a fancier restaurant." - Arden Shore
"This little restaurant in Greenpoint offers a relaxed atmosphere with a thoughtful wine list and bold, hearty cooking. Highlights include fried rabbit with ramp agrodolce and pan-roasted Berkshire pork chop." - MICHELIN Guide
"A Greenpoint restaurant newly added to the Bib Gourmand list." - Melissa McCart
"Only good things happen here at Cecily. This little restaurant in Greenpoint has all the makings of a neighborhood essential, thanks to its relaxed staff, an impressively lengthy and thoughtful wine list, and food that goes far beyond the usual meat-and-cheese offerings of a bar. Boldy seasoned and perfectly pitched, the no-nonsense cooking is at once hearty and satisfying. Fried rabbit with ramp agrodolce is a meal on its own, but you’ll also want to order some thick toast piled on with mussels and pancetta and served in a knockout Calabrian chili butter. Any lingering appetites can finish off with a very shareable and very satisfying pan-roasted Berkshire pork chop." - Michelin Inspector
"In Greenpoint, I note Cecily comes from alums of Estela and the Four Horsemen." - Melissa McCart
