You have to try the burger, it’s super juicy, and I always put all of the toppings on it, I had good service here, and I recommended 100%.

Price to quantity/quality isn't quite 5 stars yet. Great comfort food especially the apps and the burgers were great. However, expect to pay $50+ for drinks and food

Excellent food and service. Our server was extremely knowledgeable of all the items on the menu. Highly recommend for a group of 2-4. Larger groups might find seating a little more difficult.

I went during brunch on the weekend and even though we had a reservation, we still ended up waiting for about 15 minutes to be seated. They handed us the brunch menus which included specific food items and drinks. I ended up ordering the breakfast burrito, which I thought was underwhelming and I had tastier breakfast burritos at a much lower price. The location of the restaurant is kind of hidden and you have to park in the parking structure. We did get seating outside, which had a pretty nice view on a nice sunny day. Our server took a while to bring our tab even after we asked for it that we actually had to ask someone else to bring our tab.

Bosscat's menu is diverse and tasty with a different twist! Sat out on the patio with CA beautiful weather, very relaxing. I have a fairly flexible palette, but everyone at our party enjoyed their lunch, from the Carolina Bbq Salmon, the Kale Godess Salad , to the gold medal chicken sammie. It was lunch on a work day, so I will be back to try out the bar menu on another day.

Stick to the main entrees, burgers are just ok. Bartenders are very attentive. Beer menu on the TV monitors is not easy to see.Parking: Plenty of parking in the structure. Remember to get your parking validated at the restaurant.

I first visited this restaurant for a work lunch and it was so good I returned the next night with my family. The service is excellent and the food is delicious. We can't wait to eat here again!

This restaurant has a rustic romantic vibe. Very nice for a dinner for two. Drinks were delicious. I had the seasonal prickly pear lemonade and a cocktail called Sailing On. It tasted like candy, which is dangerous! There was definitely alcohol in there. For appetizers we got the pork belly (Pig Candy) and the Brussel sprouts. Both were great! The Pig Candy does have a strong kimchi taste. The entrees were underwhelming. My Coastal fish was over-salted and the risotto was bland. I would not order again. My husband got the 12 hour short rib and he liked his tender and soft it was. It fell apart in his mouth, but I felt like it didn't have much flavor. I honestly expected more from the food. For the price, I'm not quite sure this place is up to par, but we had a great experience here because our waitress was amazing and kind. This is a great place for people to gather and enjoy company, but in my opinion, it is a bit pricey for the quality. I give it 4 stars though because the service was great, the ambiance is great, and overall the food is pretty good.

Awesome food and drinks, unknowingly came during happy hour!! We got fried pickles which I loved bc it was thinly sliced that gave a nice crispy crunch that compliments the sourness from the pickles. For our drinks, we got the house old fashion and moscow mule. What we didn't get from the happy our menu was a chicken sausage pasta to share, they were kind enough to ask if we wanted to split the dish to two plates. It was very considerate of them. We also ordered the maple buttered brussel sprouts, and pork belly poutine fries which were both delicious! Wish I took photos so I apologize for having to watch videos that may or may not take a while to load :') will definitely come back again

I don't understand the hype around this place. We had brunch today at 1:30 with a reservation and were seated in the middle of a very busy restaurant; all good, but impossible to visit. Asked the be moved t patio as it was our dear friends 60th birthday, was told NO! That was reserved for dogs. (My name is Doug) so I told them to put a leash on me and walk me in. Did not work so we staid in side restaurant. We ordered drinks, took 45 minutes to get. Food came out COLD not once but three times. It was a mess! Not sure I'd return after spending $450 on car service from LA for crappy brunch.

Let me start by saying I LOVED the ambiance of this new location and the service was also great! The food, however, was disappointing. We were expecting bar food but it was overly salty and hard for any of us to enjoy. We started with the country bread (cooked perfectly but sooo salty that everyone commented on it and agreed it was hard to eat), garden flatbread (this was my favorite dish- the crispy kale was a nice touch), 12 hr short rib (pretty good but really greasy. I really liked the crispy/fried thin fried onions though). We tried a few of the cocktails as well. 3 out of 4 of the cocktails ordered were unfortunately overly sweet. The winner was a whisky sour. Not sure I'll be back even though Bosscat had been on my list forever, and I really wanted to love this place.

Ambience is otherworldly, has old Oxford University library vibes and decor. Huge whisky list, beautiful craft cocktails and tasty food makes this place an experience. We plan to go back for brunch.
