   Menu is somewhat limited. Food was ok. Nothing extraordinary. Printed menu was different from the website. Much more limited. Very few vegetarian options. Prices seemed a bit high for what you get. Always want to support local restaurants, but probably won’t go back here in the future.

   Lovely festive holiday decor in Monkey Cat -- warm and welcoming. Service excellent, food excellent. It was a bit noisy -- we had to almost shout to hear each other across the table. My only other complaint is that we wanted a booth but were told they were taken for parties of four -- why was that? We were seated at a table for four and would have much preferred a booth. Otherwise, a nice early New Year's Eve dinner.

   The food is pretty good. The service is outstanding. The staff is very friendly, very attentive, and Erica, in particular, is my favorite server. It's a great local restaurant for family or date.

   A good place to eat. My wife's salmon was prepared perfectly.

   Totally overpriced and having to order the sides as well because they don’t come with the meal is a turn off. Won’t be going back 🙁

   We were celebrating an early family Christmas and had never been to Monkey Cat, as we are new in the area. Loved the name, liked the look of the food offered and especially, liked the extensive and unique drink menu. Service was excellent and even brewed a pot of decaf coffee for our DD! Recommend the Luxardo Old Fashioned and the Green Eyed Girl cocktails. Monkey Cat featured my family's favorite Gin - Hendricks and Sazerac Rye Whiskey. Only drama was finding parking in this busy area on a Saturday night. Definitely will be repeat guests there. Try it out!

   Love Monkey Cat! We enjoyed the view from our window table as we watched shoppers hurry by. Our server, Cheyenne, was lovely and attentive, and the meal was delicious.

   I ordered the TBLT (Shaved turkey, crispy bacon, green leaf lettuce, heirloom tomato, avocado, pesto aioli on sourdough). The most unflavorful sandwich I have ever had. I should have gone to the corner gas station for the cost of this sandwich. Heirloom Tomato? I think not. It was a supermarket bland brand. The pesto aioli - I had to add half a shaker of salt to my sandwich it was so flavorless. Come on, Monkey Cat. You can do better than this nonsense. Service? Server was attentive but could have cleared the "shrimp corndog" appetizer plates sooner rather than after we paid the bill.

   Fantastic Saturday lunch. The staff opened the door for me early because it was raining. He gave excellent recommendations. The pace was perfect for my friend and I to catch up and make it to the Placer Theatre Ballet on time for the 1 pm performance. It was excellent. I had the shortrib grilled cheese sandwich that came with crispy perfectly seasoned french fries. My friend had the blue-cheese tomato soup. Super tasty.
