   It was at least an hour we had to wait for our meal, after we ate our salad. No salad plates available, had to ask for them. The steaks were very dry, it seemed like they were cooked and just held until all our meals were cooked. We had 6 people from out of town and they were not happy about the dinner. I hate to make this comment because this was a favorite place to eat. The waitresses were going out of their way to check on us continually. They tried their best. Very expensive for the meal that was not worth it. I’m sorry to make this comment but everyone in our party came to this conclusion.

   Service was EXCELLENT. The wait staff was very attentive. Food preparation and presentation was ordinary and unremarkable. The 9 ounce filet was kind of dry with no sauce or flavor other than from the grilling process. Offer a choice of sauces such as Bearnaise, peppercorn, red wine, or mushroom. The side of mushrooms was also unremarkable as if right out of the can.

   The meal was as expected, however, we ordered two orders of spinach dip to go. When we got home, there were no chips included with dip. Kind of difficult to eat a dip without a chip. For a restaurant with these prices, that is unacceptable. Service was great as usual and our food in the restaurant was good and as ordered

   We enjoyed a nicely prepared and presented meal in their renovated dining area. Some of the best beef I've ever eaten, and my wife's crab cakes were cooked perfectly, with almost no filler. Full bar service with a limited by adequate wine list. Our server was attentive without being overbearing. All in all, a wonderful evening with fairly priced foods served in adequate portions. We'll definitely return to this hidden gem near Low Moor, VA (just off Interstate 64).

   First visit with the new owners. Liked the decorative changes. Music was WAY too loud and a most unfortunate choice of genres. Owners trying to be upscale, but missing the mark. Start with getting rid of paper napkins. Had to ask for a chiller for the wine - which was provided but was actually a large ice bucket. Food was a B, B-. My filet was a good cut, but was ruined by way overcooking. Service was slow. We were the only people in the place for about 30 min. Selection of Va wines was nice and very reasonably priced.

    Love “Cat and Owl” to celebrate our birthdays and Valentines Day. A little pricey but good for our special occasions. The service and food is GREAT!

    When we arrived for our reservation, the hostess seated us at a small table for two with one chair facing the wall (like a child would be seated in time out). The chair facing the wall put us in front of the doorway. When I questioned if there would be enough room since the person seated in the chair would be blocking the door, we were assured that we would not be in the way, that everyone would use the other entrance into the room. This was not the case, and everyone that went through, including the staff and later the hostess, bumped into my dining companion every time they walked past. The bread that came to the table felt and tasted stale. The lobster bisque was too thick and there were only 4 small pieces of lobster in the huge bowl. My steak was prepared as ordered, but my companion’s prime rib was barely warm. Our waitress was attentive as she could be with all of the tables she was working. This was meant to be a special night, but we were disappointed. The decor was fantastic.

    We were excited to go to Cat and Owl again, we have been several times over the years. The improvements to the inside of the restaurant are nice, the food was not nearly as good as it was before the sale, and the service was just ok. We will try it again sometime, with the hopes that the new ownership is just working out some kinks in their processes. So far, not so good.

    We go to the cat and owl frequently. This night they were very busy. The waiting staff was awesome and went above and beyond. However, our seafood was undercooked and steaks were over cooked. Wait staff did their very best to make sure everything was corrected quickly

    Had oysters Rockefeller needed a few minutes more but were very good, the seafood skewers were very tasty and the bread with the classic honey butter were delicious and were kept warm in a porcelain topped bowl. We hadn’t been here for over ten years but will change that to make it a must stop when we are in this area again, the wait staff were on top of their game. Can’t say enough good things about this wish I had taken pictures maybe next time

    Ran out of oysters, rolls,bananas for banana fritters, no ice for water or tea, steak too done, not enough servers. This makes the 6th time there since ownership change. Will not go back, disappointed each time I have been there. Poor management, service and preparation of meals. Have been eating there for 40 plus years. Goodbye !!

    I have not been at the Cat and Owl for some time. We had a very good experience. We had six people in our party. The service, the food, and the ambiance were nice. We arrived 30 minutes early and this did not to be a problem. We will certainly return.

    From bacon wrapped scallops, then a trip to the salad bar, finally Crab cakes and baked potato! My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach, had to take home a Crab cake. And yes, I had it for breakfast🦀 Would definitely recommend! My husband's steak was cooked to perfection and yes there enough leftover for our pup to taste.

    We had a wonderful meal with wonderful friends at The Cat and Owl. This remodeled restaurant is really nice inside. The shrimp cocktail was really good as was the ribeye and my husband really enjoyed the large broiled seafood platter. Our friends enjoyed a sirloin steak and the crab cake dinner. This is a great, quiet place to go to visit with friends or for a romantic dinner.

    All of their oyster dishes are amazing. We enjoy their vegetables as well. That is what we usually have and I feel sure the rest of the menu is delicious.

    The remodel of the restaurant was done very well. It feels fresh and clean. Love the new dishes. As always, the service is stellar. Our food was declicious and we are glad they decided to keep the salad bar. The only complaint is that the lighting is much too bright.

    It was great to see the new owners had kept alot of the ambience and charm of the original 'Cat and Owl' including the wonderful waiting staff. I really enjoy not being rushed through my courses, and being able to have conversation whilst eating.
