The service was attentive and well paced. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about all the menu offerings. Everything we ordered was delicious! We started with the burrata, carrots and oysters. All the different flavors were exceptional. We had the bronzini and scallops were cooked to perfection and delicious. I highly recommend Ceces.

Front of the House - Butch was on his game. Kitchen - Smashing. Wait Staff - Lauren helpful; attentive; and menu knowledgeable. Meal - Bowl of Maryland Crab Soup and Shrimp Cocktail - both well seasoned. Very tasty. Highly recommended. Parking Lot - repairs and stripping - 2025. Welcome improvement. Seat cushions - Table 54. Material in disrepair. Clearly not up to the Atlas Restaurant Group standards.
