Black Cat is a small intimate place with a wide selection of dinner options. Their Brussel sprout appetizer was delicious and a great change from usual offerings with bacon (which I won't eat). Their delicious tomato basil soup of the day to follow. Their mahi-mahi special also delicious but too full by then to eat much and sadly no room for dessert.

Food was amazing! We had the green fried olives as a starter, they are like a little flavor explosion in your mouth. I had the scallops and my partner had the rack of lamb. Both were excellent. Berry tart for dessert, also delicious. Service was impeccable.

Christopher

The food was excellent. Highly recommend! They have very limited seating so reservations is a must.

Salmon was delicious as was the ahi tuna. A highlight was the fabulous warm bread. Service was excellent and friendly. Given the opportunity we will be back.

Cozy warm table by the fire. Sarah our server had a very nice and calm demeanor. Food was excellent.. the clam chowder out of this world

You'll be hard-pressed to find cuisine of this caliber anywhere else. Well, maybe in Paris. The menu is complete, and the meal was delicious, made from high-quality ingredients. I'll rate our server (Sarah) as the best of the best. One downside is the pricey wine list, with markups seemingly higher than in other similar restaurants. But if you want a quiet and excellent dinner in a cordial setting, this is the place.

All was good. The food was excellent and plentiful, and the service was good. The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of a 5 star is that their web site is misleading. It says "great cocktails" however, they only have beer and wine.

Sergio

Wonderful, quiet, great service restaurant. Food was excellent. Older home setting with comfortable seating. Highly recommend for a small group or couples dinner. Sea food was excellent. Nice selection of wines.

Both of our sauces were dreadful. They need a new taste tester for their chef or something. The wait time for service is way too long.

Once again had a great dining experience at Black Cat, a favorite of mine when I visit Cambria. Its simple, tasteful decor, always attentive service and great dishes never fail to impress. The food is excellent and there is a nice selection of wines. You can choose a cozy table indoors or sit in the patio. I've dined at many restaurants in Cambria but will keep returning to Black Cat.

Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Our dinners were nicely plated and very good. I had the Lamb shank and it was perfectly cooked, juicy and very good flavor. My wife had the duck which was also prepared well, great flavor, but was a little dry. Overall a pleasant evening.

Loved this new find and the server was kind and helpful with his recommendations. We will return next time we come to visit!
