    A memorable evening at The Black Cat… with just one strange moment. We had an amazing dining experience at The Black Cat. The staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional especially our server, who made sure every detail of our dinner was taken care of. The food was exceptional, both in flavor and presentation, and the value was excellent. The ambience is cozy, stylish, and welcoming perfect for a night out with friends. One odd moment: while we were waiting at the bar for our party to arrive, I paid my tab and was taking a photo of the receipt alongside my drink and a postcard just something to capture the moment. The bartender walked up while I was mid-photo and snatched the receipt and postcard out of my shot, even though it was clear I was taking a picture. It felt intrusive and unnecessary. That said, I didn’t let it ruin the evening because everything else was fantastic. Still, bartenders should respect patrons’ space and let them document their experience as long as it’s not disruptive. Overall, I highly recommend The Black Cat. One awkward moment, but a truly excellent evening otherwise.

    Dark. Moody. Big leather booths. Great wine selections. 10/10 in my book.

    It was my first time at The Black Cat. A group of eight of us went and had the big banquette in the back. We had the most wonderful waitress with great energy and sweet personality. The food was very good, the shrimp and grits, spice cake and crème brûlée was exceptional. Good cocktails. Handsome restaurant. Good energy but noisy. Will return

    Had a reservation and the hostess gave our seat to someone else, she literally said I’m changing your seat so you have to wait 5 minutes, then proceeded to give us a worse seat. Was celebrating a birthday and we were all seated at these small circular tables, half of us on tiny stools. I’ve been coming here for years and never had such horrible service, we asked Multiple times to move and she said she was giving it to a larger party, but the larger party was only one person larger and we arrived first.
