The Black Cat is a cozy and welcoming restaurant in Downtown Livermore, offering a festive atmosphere with a pirate theme until early November. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing great service that makes for an exceptional dining experience. The small plates are flavorful, with favorites like the Hummus Toast, Whipped Feta, and Crudo, which has been praised as consistently on point. The drinks have improved over time, with a focus on creative, handcrafted cocktails, especially those with Mezcal, such as the popular Yellow Tail. The restaurant also offers themed drinks and tiki bowls that add to the fun ambiance. The wine selection includes enjoyable options like the local Livermore McGrail Cab Sauv. The A5 Wagyu is beautifully presented and incredibly delicious, though portion sizes remain small. The restaurant is a great spot to relax and enjoy the evening, featuring cozy seating options and a view of the open kitchen. It is also suitable for private events, with staff dedicated to creating a memorable experience. Overall, The Black Cat is a hidden gem with excellent service, tasty food, and a charming, lively environment—perfect for a return visit.
