Well we came here our first night, so we though it would be silly to come back every night there after, but we should have. Nothing else in Cambria comes close to this place. We had the play on pork and beans to start, which was seriously sooooo good we almost ordered another one. Then I got the trout with... More

My husband and I chose the Black Cat this past week for a special dinner. We were seated in the front room with a fireplace and charming cozy banquette seating. This is an old cottage with charming decor. The tables are close together but they did a stellar job of staggering them so that for most of your meal there... More

Recently had dinner at Black Cat Bistro due to nice write ups on this site. We had a great meal. I had arugula salad with braesola, and the hangar steak. Both were excellent. They have a nice wine list and good wines by the glass- as well as suggested pairings. Our service was attentive and good. The restaurant is quite... More

This was the best meal we had on our trip to the Central Coast. The quality of the meal was on par with some of the best restaurants in New York. We had the trout, the duck, and the lamb shank (I forget what I had for an appetizer, but I remember that it tasted good). The portions were satisfying... More

We came here for our 5th wedding anniversary. I've been here several times before, and each time, I'm amazed at the fabulous food, generous portions & attentive service. The Black Cat Bistro is THE place to go in Cambria!

The atmosphere is very professional but homey. The arugula salad was plentiful and tangy. A cured bacon addition was tasty but unnecessary. The warmed Caesar was interesting. The... More

What a great food! Very special restaurant. Good atmosphere, great service and realy great food. Very recomended if you are around the area.

Very friendly and enthusiastic servers with lots to share about the very diverse menu which offers a suggested wine with every course. We had the Fried Olives as an appetizer and they are delish. My friends' Ahi Tuna with Jasmine Rice and Japanese Slaw looked like the star attraction, though the Hangar Steak was formidable paired with a Zin. Unfortunately... More

We had enjoyed the Black Cat last year and certainly were looking forward to it. It was even better. Our waiter was personally delightful and quite responsive to our questions about the menu. The menu itself was a pleasure to ponder and each of our courses was simultaneously sophisticated, simple and deliciously prepared. Because we had memories from last year's... More
