Cece's Roland Park

Overall, good. Nice atmosphere, though a little loud. I enjoyed the food and drinks (I had a Mezcal Sour and a vodka martini). I ate some short rib pasta, which was tasty but not plentiful. Also an enormous French fry or two, and some gorgeous looking garlic bread that was impossible to separate without tearing (the level of butter was dense in it, but it rafter good and had excellent texture).Service was knowledgeable and attentive.

My experience at this restaurant was a bit disappointing. I do not want to be harsh as they just opened and would love to give them another chance down the road. The atmosphere of the restaurant is upscale and sophisticated. The interior design was very well put together with gorgeous saddle brown booths, great ambient lighting, and a very open bar at the center. The service was very attentive and accommodating. Also our individual server was very knowledgeable and friendly.For food we split the meatballs, traditional pizza, and grilled octopus to start. The meatballs were mediocre at best and the pizza was lacking flavor, however, the crust had a nice crunch to it. For an entree I had the 12oz NY Strip which was served with hash brown logs as a side. The steak was cooked to the correct internal temperature but was not very warm. The flavor was not bad but nothing special. Overall, a bit disappointed in my first experience at Cece's but would be willing to give them another chance. On my next trip I would try a pasta entree to see if it could deliver more flavor.

Cece's of Roland Park has been on my bucket list for quite sometime and I am glad that I finally got a chance to go. This restaurant just has a nice swanky, sexy vibe. It is very dimly lit, very cozy and intimate. The decor was reallty old school modern-chic, reminded me of a home with a cute sunken living room. Perfect date night, birthday celebration, or just want a nice dinner out. Upon arrival we were seated immediately and our server Emma immediately greeted us. For drink starter's I went with the smoked old fashioned and my friend her opted for the espresso martini. Both cocktails were made to perfection. My drink was so good, I ordered a second one For food we started with the hearth roasted carrots( greek yogurt, harissa and pistachios) and the wagyu tartare( pistachios, truffle ailoi and mint). Both appetizers were delicious. The roasted carrots were amazing, and the wagyu tartare was fresh and clean on the palate. Delicious. For dinner we opted for the Amish Chicken. This dish is a whole chicken, and it is perfect for sharing. Two ppl can eat this meal, to be brutally honest, possibly three. The portion was huge. The chicken was very flavorful and moist. It was accompanied with white beans, kale, focaccia croutons and chicken jus. The server will pour the chicken jus over the chicken when it comes to your table. For dessert we did the dulce de leche cake and the smoked vanilla panna cotta. Both portions were huge, next time I will get just one dessert. The desserts were so decedent. Overall the dinner was phenomenal, there was not a dish that we did not like. We are planning to get a few friends together for a small brunch outing here after the holiday. There is other dishes I would like to try, such as the branziono and the pastas and pizza. The village of Cross Keys is bustling with really nice shops and restaurants, and CeCe's is a nice addition. I wish them all the success

I've been to Cece's a couple of times now with dinner for friends, and I've enjoyed it both times! Between my two visits, I've tried quite a few dishes from the menu: burrata (with persimmon, radicchio, banyuls vinaigrette); ahi tuna crudo (radish, mandarin, Calabrian chili vinagrette); little gem lettuces (with basil, avocado, and parmesan); wagyu tartare (pistachio, truffle aioli, and mint); roasted octopus (with garbanzo bean and green chermoula); ricotta cavatelli (trumpet mushroom, butternut squash, brown butter); mushroom risotto (with mixed mushrooms, manchego, and puffed wild rice); and more. Their menu is great and varied. I also love that they offer a chef's tasting menu (for $79 with an additional wine pairing for $40), which is a great way to try a lot of their menu if you're with a smaller group! Their beverage program is also great. I'm obsessed with their Cece's Martini (Stoli, blue cheese olives, and "filthy olive juice"), but their wine list is wonderful as well. The restaurant is gorgeous and has great ambiance. It's upscale but still comfortable. Some people definitely dress up for a meal at Cece's, but you can still dress comfortably. The restaurant has a fantastic outside space (heaters, couches, an outdoor bar, TVs playing sports), which I hope doesn't close for winter! It would be a great place to watch a football game while enjoying some great wine. The service is great, too. During both dinners, all of the staff were friendly and helpful and added to a great experience. So good food, good drinks, good service, good vibes! I'm sure I'll be back many times in the future!

I'm impressed.This place gives swanky, mafioso meet-up spot vibes. It's dimly lit and the servers all wear a similar attire. Totally unexpected from the outside.It's my birthday dinner!We were seated immediately upon arrival at a nice cloth-covered table set with a small globe lamp. It was perfection, actually. My partner ordered a smoked old fashion, and I ordered an espresso martini. You could smell the old fashion a mile away. That's her thing; she loves them, and this one topped her list. My martini was as good as an espresso martini can be. Yummy!Our server was attentive and gave recommendations when asked. The ambiance was chill, romantic, and the decor was old-school modern chic.We both ordered roasted octopus (we love octopus). For the main dish, I had mushroom risotto, and she had mezze rigatoni. The roasted octopus was a first for me. It was served differently than it is normally served, but I did enjoy it. It was served with garbanzo beans, tomatoes, and a very fresh green chermoula. It tasted very fresh (a bit citrusy; I couldn't put my finger on the flavor). OMG, the mushroom risotto was divine! I ate the entire dish. It was layered in flavor with some puffed wild rice. Mushrooms are yet another love of mine. The combination of mushrooms and manchego..... yum! It was so satisfying. My partner loved her dish as well. It looked very rich. It was a lovely dinner and we'll definitely be back for more.

Our waitress made this one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had. I am upset that I do not recall her name.

Let's get into Cece's Roland Park for a moment! This place is giving 10/10 and we are obsessed ! From the moment you step in the ambiance is a vibe and one that you have to experience for yourself! Last month my sister and I went for a little Girls night and we were not disappointed! The staff were extremely friendly and gave great recommendations. I would suggest making reservations if you are gonna do dinner here on a Friday or Saturday as it does get busy! The food was better than I could have imaged. I would say the menu is a little bit of new American meets Italian. My meal highlights would be the pizza specifically the spicy pepperoni, the gem salad and the pasta! I left dreaming of this meal! I think Cece's is a great place for a slightly elevated dinner with family or friends. A elegant happy hour or brunch! Can't wait to go back and continue to explore their menu!

Best restaurant I've gone to in awhile! Fun atmosphere, amazing food, and great drinks. Huge space for small or large groups. Can't wait to try the outside space in warmer weather!

An amazing, new upscale restaurant in Baltimore. While the menu first appears to be small and a little different, the food is incredible. The waitress graciously explained many menu items as they had fancy names but are truly normal entrees. Food was incredible, staff was really nice and the restaurant is absolutely beautiful!

Food a bit disappointing, but will give it another chance. Beautiful restaurant and we had great service, but the food wasn't quite right. Maybe the head chef wasn't working tonight. The "roasted" carrots were literally raw with negligible carrot flavor. The "risotto" was basically a rice pilaf. Wine and bread were great. My rigatoni was slightly undercooked. Eggplant caponata was just ok. The food gave me the impression that the kitchen was going through the motions but not spending sufficient time - or they just didn't know how - to make sure the food was prepared correctly.
