Monkey Cat Restaurant & Bar offers a variety of dishes, including salmon, seafood risotto, Caesar salad, and a special seafood pasta. The server is described as phenomenal, and the staff are friendly, fast, and knowledgeable about the menu and drink selections. There is a lovely bar that adds to the relaxed yet fancy vibe of the place. Customers have praised the food, noting that the mains are all perfect and the shrimp corn dogs are delicious. Recent reviews highlight dishes like short ribs, sea bass over risotto, filet, and seafood risotto, all prepared perfectly. The patio often has music, creating a special atmosphere, and the restaurant leaves thoughtful touches like a birthday card on the table. The service is consistently excellent, and the food is considered delicious and fresh, with some mentioning the changing menu adds fun variety. The Thai Coconut sauce on the seafood pasta can be a bit rich, and some feel that the bread service and Caesar salad are just "okay." Desserts like caramel cheesecake and butter cake receive high praise. Overall, Monkey Cat is a great stopping point for travelers and is highly recommended by frequent visitors.
