    Simply put…outstanding! The service was impeccable. The mushroom bisque was as if Matt was still in the kitchen. My Pingree Manhattan was as good as any craft bar. My wife’s salmon was beyond tasty and my short ribs were perfect. Overall a fantabulous experience!!

    The service was slow, and there were several errors on ordering. The music was quite loud and I think that that contributed to the waiter hearing us correctly.

    Please let us know if the music is too loud we are happy to turn it down. I’m so sorry about service we were a tad short staffed that day. I hope you will give us another chance to wow you. Thank you for letting us know.

    I had looked forward to dining at Three Cats for some time. I was delighted with the cute, artsy decor. I was however not impressed with the food. The exotic mushroom soup was frankly yukky, and I could not eat more than a mouthful. The corned beef sandwich was also a disappointment … not what is customary - that is , lots of corned beef! Only one piece. Disappointing to say the least. The cheesecake was good but very expensive -$14. So sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant as much as I wanted to.
