Santino was absolutely amazing from start to finish. When emailing to make a reservation, he always replied within a timely manner. He was at the door to greet us and checked on us throughout our evening. The decor, the food, the drinks and the ambience was a VIBE!!! Thank u Santino, we will be back.

I LOVE this place! It's always a VIBE. The DJ goes absolutely crazy and Chris the bartender makes the best drinks. My girls and I always enjoy the "CC", haha!

First let me say the restaurant is super cute...it's an InstaGram hot spot lots of cute places to take pictures. Looks like an old school speakeasy...it's small, very small, but cute. The food was ok...the drinks are super overpriced $27 for one drink the Cesar salad was soggy...the fact that we had a large party of like 12 and they only let you stay for 90 minutesand didn't have an issue telling you to leave because the next reservation has arrived. I've never seen such..,but I guess that's how they do it now. Sad...do better...people come to spend money and then can't even finish their drink due to being asked to leave because the next party has arrived. Stop over booking and allow your guess to have the experience and order food and drinks. We hadn't even fished our second drink when we were asked to leave for the other party. The service is fast and slow of that makes sense...it changed from time to time...and the waiter bringing the food couldn't answer one damn question about food. The waitress obviously not happy that the waiter couldn't answer the question told him firmly in his ear what he needed to say to us about the food...

Alec was an amazing host! For it being my first time at The Classic Cat he was so nice and welcoming. The ambiance was good, the food was 10/10.

Before going straight into NEVER AGAIN! The ambience is cool. On a Friday the DJ plays good music. The drinks and food are pretty pricey and not that good. The place is really small inside. Could be a nice place for a celebration or girls night. Wouldn't recommend for a date night. Best way to describe is club + restaurant. NEVER AGAIN..... RUDE UNPROFESSIONAL STAFF! They seem to cater to those who are buying bottles. I went for a birthday party with a reservation for a party of 12. The party was running late, however I arrived within the grace period. All of the larger tables were occupied. A couple more guest with the party showed up and the host sat us at a table for 6 people. When asked about a bigger table. We were told that because we were late, the reserved table was given away. The birthday girl arrived with additional guest and had to stand. The gentlemen that seated us told us when a larger table became available, we would be able to move in order to accommodate us. As we tried to make the smaller table work, we ordered food and drinks. The waitress didn't bring out the food, instead the bus boy would come to the table and just sit the food down or yell over the music what the dish was so whomever ordered would acknowledge. I asked the waiter for flatware and napkins twice, and never received either. The bus boy came out and left shrimp skewers in front of me, and I ordered the seabass. When I mentioned to the waiter it was wrong, she proceeds to tell me in a snarky matter, that there is more than one person ordering at my table and those aren't mine. While we wait for the larger table, another table across from us became available and the gentlemen allowed the birthday girl and additional guest to be seated across from us, however still ensuring that the larger table would be closing out shortly and we will be moved. Finally the larger table is cleared and we gather our things and began to move from the other tables while they finish cleaning it off. As we begin to sit our belongings down the gentleman comes and tell us that he has a client for that table and he can't seat us, and he also gave away the other table we left from. Leaving us back with one table for 6 people. The busboy rudely bumped into me twice stating he needed to get by. When I pushed back the second time and asked him to be polite, rude doorman comes and tells security that I need to leave. After refusing to take any accountability with the way he handled the manner and the party being extremely upset, he told us we needs to close out our tab because he needed the last table we had. He stated it was because we were late for our reservation and we could only sit for 90 mins. Meanwhile the parties who arrived prior to us, were all still seated and enjoying their time. He called security over and was basically pushing us out!! I have never experienced such unprofessionalism in a place such as this. While walking out, I ran into a couple who also expressed how rudely they were treated. While speaking to them this same host (didn't get his name but he's fair skin and curly hair) came out and began antagonizing me, as if he wanted confrontation after I asked him repeatedly to move away from me and quit speaking to me. "I don't give a fuck" were his words. He's disgusting. I'm sure he wouldn't talk to a male in that manner (Security witnesses this) This place will lose a lot of business if they don't get their staff together!!

Came to classic Cat for the first time and it was definitely a vibe. It was my friends bday so it was a good idea ! Very cute and feminine inside very quaint, but a really good time with your friends or family for celebrations. it's really dark inside so I recommend using your flashlight on your phone. They have nice size table. If you want to have a nice size party, and also they have a bar too. If you just wanna come and grab a drink and enjoy the entertainment, they have a different DJs that come at a certain time of the night. For my food, I ordered the Seabass screwers and for my drink, the blueberry sidecar. The Seabass was just OK nothing too crazy I felt that they were overcooked, but my blueberry sidecar was very delicious and right on point. I do like to how they will let you get your own bill or separate if you want to do two people or however you want on your bill. The parking is not so great you have to park on the street and if it's street parking you have to pay for parking for the parking which is $20 or $30 which is quite expensive . If you like ride shares, I do recommend that! It will be less of hassle and cheaper of course. Overall, I would definitely come back to Classic Cat to celebrate or to grab a drink it's very nice vibe! The service wasn't too bad or good just in between. -Marshay D.

They did not mention their automatic gratuity on the bill. So our waitress was tipped double after I realized this. Our sliders came out 15 minutes before another guest's pizza came out (they were all put in as entrees at the same time) sliders were already cold by the time they hit the table.

Didn't have dinner seating for me & my date, had to eat dinner at the hectic bar. Nothing special about dinner, better as a club. I would never recommend someone to have dinner there, sorry!!

I paid the fee to reserve a table at 9:30pm on Feb.8 for a special occasion. When I got there, some man in the front said they weren't letting anyone in because some artist named “Tank” was shooting a vid in there so to just come back later for the club... & I didn't get a refund.

The food was delicious! Kudos to the chef. I ordered the lobster Mac n cheese and a burlesque fusion. The drink was decadent. It's pricey so watch what you are ordering. It adds up quickly! They automatically add 18% gratuity, which explains why when I asked multiple times for a napkin and never received one. Had to share one with my friend. I feel when the gratuity is added, the service slips a little. Definitely have to go to feel this cool esthetic vibe. If you get there early enough you can park right behind the club. Perfect dinner time is 8:30pm.

Classic Cat doesn't honor RSVPs for 2. They will sit you at the bar if there is space. There is a $5PP fee for RSVPs on OpenTable. OpenTable claims it will be added to your final bill, it was not. The servers select which customers they apply automatic gratuity to. It's not on all customers receipts. As well, they do not inform you they've applied it to your table. Must read your receipt closely after a few drinks lol they are sneaky sneaky sneaky!

Cute place to hang out with friends. I spent over $600 for my sister & I on her birthday & we had to sit at the bar. We wanted to sit at a table but we were told that small parties had to sit at the bar only. We wanted to stay & continue drinking but had to go to another place where we could sit at a table. The food was not that good but I would go back for drinks only.
