Had a pleasant dinner celebrating my son's birthday. Most dishes ordered were seafood related, and everyone felt their meals were good. Wait staff was responsive and attentive.

This place is extremely understaffed. There was only one person handling hosting, waitressing, food running, and busing, all at once. We were seated and told someone would be right with us, but after 25 minutes, no one came, and we noticed other tables still waiting for their drinks. Another 10 minutes passed, and we hadn’t even been able to order drinks, so we decided to leave. We never got to try the food, but based on the experience alone, we won’t be coming back.

Cat & Owl is very special to my wife and I. We travel 1 1/2 hours for our special occasions. Last not was not the norm. Food was not as good and atmosphere was “rushed”. It appeared that staffing was the problem. Service staff were very pleasant as always, just not enough. This was the day after Valentine’s Day, so, understandably. Value has never been an issue until this visit. To anyone reading, We Love this quaint restaurant and will definitely return, hoping for the usual great service and food.

In a word it was terrible. They were obviously understaffed. It took more than an hour for our entrees to be presented and the order was wrong. This was on top of waiting 45 minutes for our appetizer. The food was lukewarm. Only the shrimp which replaced the incorrect scallops were hot and tasty. If this isn't my worst dining experience in 50+ years of eating out, it certainly ranks in the top 5.

We enjoyed the seafood and the portions were very good sized. We enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere being quiet and able to have lovely conversation. The waitress was very good with refills and making sure we had everything we wanted.

Our server Catherine was outstanding! The food was delicious and arrived at our table at just the right time after finishing the previous course. We were made to feel as "special " guests yet this was our first visit . Look forward to our next visit to Cat & Owl.
