Was a lovely evening, service was appropriately personable, friendly and prompt, and everything we ordered was of high quality. I will definitely come back next time I am in town

Excellent service, creative and delicious entree's; Pork entree, lamb entree. Nice salad choices. Unique and tasty cocktails. Overall really very good - this is a hidden gem of a restaurant.

Never disappointed with the food at Black Cat. This charming gem has been a treasure in Cambria for years. We love it!
Mary
Nice gluten-free selection. I had GF rack of lamb - thick, juicy and delicious! My husband enjoyed his rib-eye steak. Cute little restaurant that looks like a converted house. Great service too. I rate it an A. Highly recommend.
Victor
Service and ambiance were perfect however the main entries arrived overcooked and cold. Not worth it
Kate
Comfortable, cozy, feels upscale affordable, great food and service. Will recommend and return.
Maxime
Very good restaurant offering varied and delicious American cuisine. The welcome was perfect and the prices were very affordable. A nice discovery in Cambria.

First time visit after many years. We were pleasantly surprised with the friendly service and tasty menu. We split the shrimp crostini appetizer and then enjoyed a wonderful bowl of cream of mushroom soup. The scallop entree on a bed of flavorful corn pudding was beautifully prepared and enjoyed immensely. We shared a very rich pot de creme for dessert and left the restaurant discussing what we plan to order next time. Since we are live here, we will recommend to all of our friends and neighbors and add this restaurant to our local favorites list!

The Black Cat may have been top quality at one time but has lost its luster. The property needs serious maintenance and TLC - we almost didn't enter based on the weeds, run-down appearance & lack of lighting. The food was OK overall but lacked vibrant flavorings and sauces. My cous cous was cooked properly but was tasteless. My braised lamb shank was OK but tasted more like a microwave reheated leftover. The service quality (Tommy) was excellent and made the whole experience tolerable. The Black Cat needs a serious facelift, both externally and in food preparation to regain its earlier reported excellent.

I was so looking forward to celebrating my milestone birthday at the black cat. It was the most disappointing experience I've ever had unfortunately!! They messed up my reservation, saying I was a no-show and sat us in the corner with no vibe, leaving us there with the worst service ever. They had no clue, even the so-called manager, Romero...he had no empathy that he completely ruined my celebration. Do yourself a favor and never go to the Black Cat Bistro in Cambria
Menu options look great online. However, our two main dishes, the pork chop and duck breast were mediocre at best. The pork was very dry and overcooked. A dinner for two that costs $190 including tip should at least approach good. Our experience fell short of that. Service was friendly and attentive and the wine was good.

We had a very good experience at Black Cat in Cambria. We had a very good appetizer.. fried green olives which were fantastic. It's small place, very intimate. Staff was attentive. We had vegetarian fare.. which was quite good

We had a lovely dinner on our anniversary, however, the waiter did not offer us anything special or acknowledge our anniversary even though it was on the reservation. This has happened before at other restaurants.

Cozy ambience, great food and service. Creating a bistro feel, it is highly successful and hard to fault.

I had their delicious shrimp scampi. Fresh ingredients and really delicious! My husband had scallops that tasted good but were tough and his corn succotash was close to burned on the outside. He's had this dish a number of times and it was always done to perfection in the past. We will be back as it is a terrific restaurant !!
