Delicious food, drinks, and great service! Oysters were amazing and we had to order more! The Nova Scotia ones were very good. We both got the winter seafood dinner which was a whole lot of food with great options!! I have celiac disease and they were knowledgeable about that which I really appreciated. We will be back for sure
4 months agoExcellent food and great service. Was not very busy and we got seated right away. Strongly recommend the Salmon Ceviche.
2 months agoAmazing service! Our server went above and beyond with his attentiveness and the manager even stopped by during to make sure we were enjoying our meal and wine. It’s hard to find a restaurant these days that emulates a higher class of customer service and Alley Cat definitely does that. Great service + great food = a perfect evening.
6 months agoEvery bite was absolutely delicious! We went for brunch and couldn’t have had better service or food. From start to finish, everything was spot on. The staff was warm and attentive, and the dishes were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Alley Cat always delivers with creative menu options and a fantastic oyster selection that never disappoints. It’s easily one of my go-to spots in the city. Highly recommend for brunch, dinner, or just oysters and drinks by the water!
8 months agoGreat oysters and great location by the water. Our waitress was super friendly and gave us great recommendations from the menu. Appetizers were generous in portion, with the highlight being the mussels. The crabcake (looks more like a crab patty?) and calamari were average. I like that they have a happy hour for oysters, overall would recommend. Parking was a bit inconvenient but that’s just typical Flats. Overall would recommend!
