Me and my wife dined here for brunch to celebrate our anniversary, and speaking for both of us, we were thoroughly impressed. We were given two carrot cake muffins to begin and they were tasty. I ordered a cup of crab bisque, a half of an eggs Benedict, AND the breakfast burger. I ended up taking half of the burger home because I over ordered as usual. Me and my wife were blown away by the crab bisque! Without a doubt the best I ever had. The eggs Benedict was very very good. The burger was topped with bacon, a beautifully cooked egg and cheese, and served with a hollandaise. It was delicious and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere is kind of warm, cozy and comfortable. It's also quirky and old money-like. The service was good. It wasn't fine dining service, but it was friendly, fast, and accurate. I highly recommend dining here. read more

VERY disappointed! Brunch was mediocre at best. Eggs were overdone, scrapple mushy and toast hard and unbuttered. But worst part was when I made my on-line reservation there was a block where you can put if special occasion. I put a very special birthday. Then also 2 days before I called and left messages again that it was for a birthday and wanted to know if they had a special dessert they could bring to the table. They never returned my calls. And nothing was done. Restaurant was practically empty so I guess I'm one of the last ones to find out it has definitely gone down hill. read more

Finally made it here! Went with a good friend during a few days of visiting gardens. We both had the absolutely delicious mushroom soup that on special. It's more of a cup portion than the price might suggest but quite rich and delicious. We each had a salad. The pork belly crisps in the arugula salad made it a bit more filling, so consider that in ordering. I had the butter poached halibut from the regular menu. It sits upon the thin spanakopita with the sun-dried tapenade on top. The latter was intensely flavored with tomato. A beautiful presentation, but the pairing of the pungent sides with the delicate fish didn't work. My friend had the jerk seasoned hake from the special. Accompanied by a pea risotto and plantains, it was outstanding! Generous pour if you order wine by the glass and for sparkling water, they bring you an entire beautiful blue bottle of Saratoga water. Espresso is odd. Just in a regular coffee cup? With a wedge of lemon? Maybe they just make it for the ubiquitous espresso martinis. Elegant old style decor read more

I love the location. Tucked away in the country. Parking was a little hard to find, but definitely worth figuring out. The restaurant was dimly lit and quiet. The chairs were so comfortable! And our server was very attentive. The food was worth every penny and there were great options for seafood, meat and veggie lovers. We will be back. read more

Krazy Kats has always been a 5 star place for me, that is, a place that I would go out of my way to eat there--- until recently. I don't think that they ever really recovered from the pandemic. They used to be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week and Sunday for brunch and you would always have a rough time trying to decide what to have. Not so these days. Will you get an ok meal here? Yes. Will you get a great meal here? Some parts of it. Take for example my recent meal over the July 4 weekend. We were enticed by a perc they offered via their email and drove the 45 mins or so to get there. The crab bisque was a good and crabby as ever. This appears not to have changed. One of us order the foie gras appetizer. The foie gras was cooked perfectly and was topped with a sweet jam and some bacon lardons. Under was an oily brioche crouton and it definitely needed some acid to get some relief from the fattiness. The served plate was not appealing in presentation with its monochromatic brown. The star of the appetizers was the lobster arancini which were lovely but the sauce served with it didn't add to them. The mahi-mahi and squid puttanesca suffered from overcooked seafood (the mahi-mahi more so). The duck breast entree was more medium than medium rare and was overly salty as was the sauce and risotto that came with it. The haricots verts were nicely crisp but covered with a tasteless sauce. Again this plate was not appealing in presentation. The scallop entree with mango had perfectly seared scallops but the broccolini purée had an odd texture and too much garlic (or something else from the allium family). Desserts were good. However I ordered the peach cobbler and was warned when it came to the table that it was just out of the oven and I should wait so as not to burn my mouth. It came with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It had not melted a bit. In fact, the cobbler was cold. Service was by two waitstaff who did not communicate so requests went unfulfilled or were late. I asked for a decaf cappuccino. She said she could not make that but I could have a decaf espresso. I found that odd that steamed milk was not available. So right now, KK's has limited hours, limited menu, and limited talent/experience in the kitchen. I hope it is able to find its way back. read more

Such a cute place where we had celebrated Valentine's Day previously. Since we were in the area after a visit to the Nemours estate we decided to go in and have a drink at the bar. The hostess greeted us and the bartender rolled her eyes. As we were deciding what to get still no greeting from the bartender who continued to go through bills of people sitting at tables inside. Finally, after sitting there for five minutes we were told she was busy and she would get to us soon. After being further ignored while she finished doing her apparently very time sensitive and important paperwork we decided to leave. I stated, " we didn't walk in here to be ignored". She said, "I'm sorry, I told you I was busy". Clearly the expectation of being seated at a bar and being warmly greeted by a bartender was too much of an inconvenience for this woman. Such a shame since we had fond memories and I'm sure I had previously written a five star review. This happened Sunday December 14th at 1:25pm. read more

Brunch here was terrible! The service was horrible. It took forever. The steak and eggs had an awful sauce on it. I wish I was given the option to have it on the side. The dish was really oily. You could literally see the oil (see the photo). One server didn't know the difference between runny and sunny side up eggs when she brought it out. You had one job! Then to top everything off, the check came with a disgusting crumb inside. Oh and they forgot the return my friend's credit card. When we complained to the waitress she didn't even apologize. Giving us a discount or free dessert would have been a nice gesture. The building is falling apart. Time to renovate. This restaurant has definitely passed its prime. I've heard the dinner is good, but I won't take my chances. read more

The reason I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 1 is because they've handled the situation in a professional manner. It was my 4 years anniversary with my boyfriend on Monday, August 8th. He always raved about this restaurant when we first started dating. Finally, I gave it a shot since it was on our special day. Our reservation was for 7 PM. We arrived 5 minutes after because the parking situation was a little odd. We parked across the street in the spa section. We were promptly seated upon arrival. It didn't look busy and we were a good distance away from 2 other parties. The best thing about our dinner was our bread & butter. Warm bread and soft butter. Yum! It took our server over 20 minutes to bring out our deviled eggs and Brussels sprouts after our bread. An extra 30 minutes for our entree to arrive. Bread & butter (6/5) was delightful. The deviled eggs (3/5) tastes homemade. The bacon seemed like yesterday's leftovers decorated on top. Brussels sprouts (1.5/5) had a weird combo of minced garlic, capers, and lemons to it. I enjoyed the charred texture. Jumbo Lump Crab Cake (1/5) The pieces were HUGE but didn't meet my expectations to say the least. Was not FRESH. Had a weird aftertaste. Took a few bites and that was it. The veggies were a lot better. Halibut (0/5) was raw centered and covered with salt and pepper to masked the fishy taste. The filet (1/5) was raw and bloody after my boyfriend said he would like for it to be cooked well done. Everything was below average and I was highly disappointed. We did felt really bad about it because I hate complaining and wasting food. They did accommodate us for the bill which I did appreciate. They wanted to give us a free dessert but I was really turned off as of that point. Maybe it was one of those unlucky nights for all of us. They were apologetic. So were we. Don't think I will be returning, even though I do want to support local businesses during these tough times. read more

Krazy Kats has gone down hill. The service is still fine but the food is marginal and uneven. We go once a month and the last five or six times the food has been bad. I probably won't go back for a while. Sorry to see this happen to what was once an great restaurant. read more

Rarely I do this, give restaurants 5 stars. This one deserves it. After 2 visits I am convinced. Food is exceptional. It's not fancy but fresh, delicious, well portioned and presented. Service is great. Friendly but not familiar, attentive, knowledgeable. Atmosphere is classic but not staid, and paintings of cats and dogs in uniforms adds funk. Prices are reasonable, considering the restaurant location and atmosphere. Good for special occasions or when you need a good meal. 5 people. Appetizers, main entry, 2 drinks each came to $280 before tip. read more

This is a fairly pricey restaurant and the food did not meet expectations . The "risotto" was a strange dry flattened rice patty. the duck was fatty and tough. the salmon came with a cheese topping ugh. the linguini was unremarkable. The indoor temperature was freezing. The waitress was excellent. We cancelled our second night reservation and would definitely not return. read more

Bad decision to eat here. Started off that my husband's cocktail had 2 flies in the bottom. They made him a new one but did not apologize, let alone comp it. I ordered Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Sandwich. At $26.00 you would assume fresh crab. Nope. Canned and tasted old. Restaurant only had a few tables occupied at our 12:30 pm reservation time and yet the service was terrible. The waitress was not friendly. Sad experience considering how beautiful the location is. read more

We booked a 5PM reservation to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. Arrived about ten to five and were waiting in the car for the restaurant to open. We saw some people go in, so we grabbed our umbrellas (it was raining) and headed toward the door. Door was locked. We could see workers walking about inside so we again knocked on the door. (It was raining). At first we were ignored. Eventually someone raised a be right with you finger and we thought that meant they would open the door. They did not. We stood in the rain and knocked again and watched the hostess stand behind the hostess desk and not move. Finally at five she walked over and we could hear the door lock unlatch but she did not open the door or greet us. We walked in quite distressed over their rudeness. They were not conciliatory in any way and said they don't open till five and they had to run the vacumn. First of all they could have opened the door and said they weren't open yet but we would be welcome to step inside out of the rain and wait to be seated. They have an area by the coat check where we would not have been in the way. Secondly, but even more importantly, they should have opened the door at five and greeted us. I was appalled at the overall rudeness. We had some flowers delivered to our table. I asked them to please give me our flowers and that we were leaving. We took our business and our large gratuity (since the pandemic we are very generous tippers whenever we dine out) and left. Two days later, Open Table reservations contacted us and said that we were reported as a no show. The unmitigated gall of this establishment seemed to have no limit. My suggestion, take your patronage somewhere else where rudeness is not at the top of the menu. read more

Sunday brunch here was superb! I am rating Krazy Kat's 5 stars in every aspect. The outside of the building is beautifully landscaped with colorful flowers. Stepping inside, we were immediately greeted by a friendly young hostess who led us through the main room and into a cheerful front room decorated with whimsical cat artwork (see photo).The room had lots of windows and was spacious and airy. The view of the trees and gardens outside was relaxing. We started with a Bloody Mary ($8) and oysters ($9). (See photos). We loved that the oysters were already loosened from the shell so we could slide them right into our mouths. Next we had soup ($6 each), Crab Bisque for my husband and Stone Fruit Gazpacho for me. When I tell you that Gazpacho was divine, I mean I considered canceling my entree order and just getting 5 more cups of that incredible soup! I didn't want the experience of savoring it to end. For our entrees we ordered Eggs Benedict made with Imperial Crab ($12) and Vegan Meatloaf ($17). I am not vegan but I always enjoy seeing what a talented and creative chef can do with only plant based ingredients, and will often order a vegan entree in a restaurant. This vegan meatloaf rocked! It had a great hearty texture and a complex spicy flavor, with just enough heat to make it exciting but not painful on my tongue. It was presented in an appealing way, too. (See photo). Our servers were attentive, calm, and very pleasant. We loved the whole ambiance and experience. It was truly a special brunch! read more

Krazy Kat's - Bloody Mary - New American Near Me - Montchanin, Delaware

Apparently it is very difficult to get in to this restaurant... today we had a reservation for noon... tried to get one at 12:30 but none were available. We sat in a room with many tables. We were the only people there for the first hour and then one more group of two people joined the room. There were probably six tables or more still available in that room. It took more than an hour and a half before we got our food. I had a watermelon Caprese salad, which was absolutely delicious. I should've just gotten a large and stuck with that. I also had a 1/2 eggs Benedict which was not really great... The hollandaise sauce was broken and looked like runny yolk laying across the top of my eggs Benedict and there was no hint of lemon in it. Other people in my group had an omelette and mushroom Swiss burger and I can't remember the last They looked OK but not really anything to write home about. And the restaurant is very cute and the area is just beautiful. The food was quite pricey and quality not what I would expect for the price. Oh, I forgot to mention they have a very spicy bloody Mary that was quite tasty. I forgot to take pics today and I still can't figure out why it's so hard to get into an empty restaurant. read more

Here is my personal review. The atmosphere is very nice, relaxing and quiet. Service was very good and friendly. Nice wine list and decent cocktails. The tough part is the food. We all arrived very hungry. They started us off with rolls and oil which was good. A couple of friends got the romaine salad nothing special. Entrees were disappointing. Not much food at all. The scollops were 5 on a plate with a lettuce garnish and a couple swipes of a sauce. Should have had sides with it. The crab cake dinner you can order one or 2 cakes. It did come with broccoli and shoe string fries mine were cold and no substance to them. Would have been better if they did fries. Burger was ok came with shoe string potato's. It was Average hard to screw up a burger. They need to revamp the menu and add rice or veggie to the entrees. I hope they fix the menu those entrees do not justify the 30.00 and up price. There are allot of other options out there. read more

Let me share with you my experience with Krazy Kat's and save you the possible disaster: 1) I make a reservation for a dinner date with my wife about a month in advance. I write to reserve the two top table center in the room by the cat statue and fireplace. When I get there, I am told... "Oh someone requested that before you... I mean I just looked at this reservation just now..." This was after I was made to wait standing at an empty entry area and bar. 2) We didn't get the seating of our choice, so we are offered a different table. This table was not even set, no flowers on the table, no candle lit, unlike every other table in the room. To make matters worse, I get to see the people who took my table due to her malfeasance. 3) We order drinks and the main course, after some time later I get my drink and are appalled! They put my bourbon inside of a wine glass, with an orange garnish on it! I was embarrassed 4) We finish our waters quite quickly, as it was summer and quite hot in the establishment. I am not exaggerating when I say that EVERY single other table was offered water multiple times, while we had our glasses empty the entire meal. They passed with the water pitcher multiple times throughout our time there but only went to check in on other diners. 5) I ordered the Blackened Salmon with Shrimp Etouffe, and I understand that salmon is a difficult fish to cook properly... but I expect a chef of a restaurant of this caliber... and one that charges 40 dollars for a 6 dollar salmon cut, would be AT LEAST be able to cook it properly. The salmon was dry, overcooked, and lacking in the one thing in its namesake (THE PEPPER) 6) I am now halfway done my meal, glass empty, when the hostess comes up with the flowers and places them on the table. She does not light the candle, she does not even pass a moments thought of us before rushing back to the bar. The server did not check in on us once to ask how anything was, nor to see if we required anything... Despite doing so to every single other patron in the establishment. 7) I am now embarrassed, upset, thirsty, saddened, and in pain due to the very uncomfortable chairs, and the treatment we had received. Despite my better judgement, we decided to split a takeaway dessert. I expected, especially since multiple other patrons asked for a takeaway dessert, that the restaurant would be capable of providing an adequate receptacle for their own food, seeing as they do make it and such. But when I was handed the check, with the dessert, it was smashed into a glorified Tupperware container. 8) The check came out to roughly 130 dollars for the two meals, two drinks, and a shared dessert. Despite my better judgement again, I tipped the waitress... For what exactly I do not know... I have received better service at a failing Chinese buffet, and I have tasted better food from nearly any fast food establishment. After the tip, I payed 150 dollars. When I left and returned to my room at the Inn. I felt robbed, not only of my money, but of the experience, the service, and satisfaction of knowing the place actually cared enough to do what is right. My wife and I candidly shared the same opinion after moments into being seated... Should have just went to Chick-Fil-A... at least the food would have been moist, the service would be with a smile, and someone would be pleasured to have our business. read more

I'm not sure how it took me so long to try Krazy Kat's, but BF and I finally had dinner for a nice Friday night date and had an enjoyable time. It's a bit confusing to find the restaurant in the dark --- you wind up parking a few minute walk away near the spa, and it can be easy to miss the restaurant signage that you pass on the way to the parking lot. The atmosphere is unique, with portraits, statues, and artwork featuring cats and dogs and antique-y furniture. Service was friendly and attentive. I ordered a caramel apple mule as my drink, which was quite sweet and not necessarily mule-like --- decent, but I don't think I'd order it again. For appetizer, we ordered the bacon-wrapped scallops, which were okay. The bacon was thick and smoky, which overpowered the scallop flavor. There was butternut squash puree beneath the scallops that was delicious, though. Our next course consistent of Field Greens Salad for me --- a blend of fresh veggies and a gingery dressing which was good, but not standout. BF had crab bisque, which was a meal highlight for him. When it comes to entrees, Krazy Kat's offers two options for sizing. There's a "half" portion, which includes 3-4 oz of meat instead of the full. As someone who often can't finish her entree if I order appetizer and salad, I really appreciated the option to order a reasonably priced half entree so that I didn't feel like I was wasting food or money. I ordered the salmon, which was excellent and came with risotto. We also ordered a side of brussels sprouts, which were delicious. Unfortunately, I'm delayed in reviewing, so BF doesn't remember his entree, but that probably says something about it. For dessert, we chose the creme brulee and had no complaints. Our meal was fairly expensive, but enjoyable. Overall, would recommend for a special occasion, or maybe on one of their $35 prix fixe menu days. read more

A small group of us ate dinner recently at the restaurant after a large event the prior day. It was a terrible meal for most of us. In fact, we were comped two of the scallop meals due to one overcooked with burned, dry brussel sprouts and the other completely undercooked and served quite a bit after the rest of the table were served entrees. The chicken was dried out to a crisp and the other three meals were adequate at best. After expressing our concerns an argument with the evening manager ensued - quite unpleasant. We do not recommend the restaurant. It may have been a different chef the evening we dined compared to many positive reviews listed. The Inn and grounds are lovely. Montcharin needs the food to be of equivalent quality. read more

I've thought long before posting this note on Krazy Kats restaurant at the Inn at Montchanin. I take no pleasure in what I'm about to say. This is like breaking up with an old friend, and it's upsetting. My wife and I moved to the Brandywine Valley in 1996, about the same time Krazy Kats opened. We found it almost right away and loved everything about it. Indeed, we've been using it for celebration dinners on and off ever since. For our anniversary this past December, I went up on Open Table to make a reservation. The only time available for that evening was 8:00 - perfect for us - and I took it. We pulled into the parking lot at 8:04. My wife went in to grab the table while I parked. She got to the host station at 8:07. When I walked into the restaurant, she was still standing at the station. The kid behind it was almost shaking. It appears that despite our reservation, despite the reservation clearly being marked as an anniversary celebration, and despite Open Table's note about reservations being honored within 15 minutes of booking time, the chef, who is also Krazy Kats' manager, had closed the kitchen at 8 sharp and refused to seat us. I asked the kid if I could talk to the chef. He said that wasn't possible. I asked again. He seemed so frightened by the prospect that I realized there was no point in persisting, and after 28 years of coming to the restaurant, we sadly - truly sadly - walked out. We both knew we'd never walk back in again. As we got to the door, a couple staying in one of the hotel's cottages were about to come in for dinner. They asked us how it was. We told them what happened. They turned and followed us out. Turns out they'd just checked into the hotel and were ready for dinner, a not unreasonable thought at 8, but if the kitchen was closed, it was closed. Exclamation point. We recommended a few local possibilities for them. Which should be the end of this, but there's more to the story, giving even more finality to its ending. The next morning, I called the hotel and left a message for the hotel's manager. She called back within a half hour. I told her our story. She seemed quite sympathetic. She said this didn't sound right to her and she would look into it. She promised to get back to me by the next day. That was three weeks ago. I'm still waiting. We've gotten her message - and Krazy Kats' -- loud and clear. read more

We went to Krazy Kats for my birthday dinner and everything was delicious. We each got a cocktail (pretty strong - you are getting your moneys worth there). Then for appetizers we got the crab bisque and the calamari. The calamari was pretty standard but the crab bisque was delicious! Creamy and flavorful. For our entrees, I got the scallops and my husband got the lamb osso bucco. Both were big portions and very tasty. The dining room was fun, with a big fire going in the fireplace and dog and cat portraits on the wall. This is a great place for a special occasion dinner. read more

We were looking forward to celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Our daughter even called ahead from out of state and ordered champagne for us as we sat down. That is where the positive experience ends. We saw kitchen staff with shorts and a sleeveless shirt and apron standing in the dining room when we arrived. They were "out" of the appetizer I wanted. The lobster arancini had no trace of lobster at all. They did bring us a complimentary charcuterie since our appetizer was less than we expected. My husband ordered the filet mignon cooked medium. It came out incredibly overcooked- well done at best. My salad with chicken was good, but my husband didn't eat the steak or the improperly prepared asparagus. No special celebratory dessert. We also never had our water refilled on a 95 degree evening. To say we are annoyed and disappointed is an understatement. We will never be going back. Our server was sweet and did her best, and we realized it was not her fault and we tipped her well all things considered. No manager ever came out and we are not convinced there was even one at the restaurant. read more

as a cat lady i had to come here when i saw the name of the business. I love this place! The outside is very cute and the food was delicious. I got the duck and it was expertly prepared.

Krazy Kats - Near Wilmington (https://krazykatsde.com) Warning: LONG Post so buckle up. I wasn't expecting much here. I chose this place because my son has a SERIOUS cat obsession and just thought he'd like seeing the zany cat and dog pics on the walls. I almost canceled my reservation a few times since the reviews were not very convincing and the website didn't make it seem very high-end. It was someone in this group that recommended it but can't find the original thread now. Instead of a mediocre meal, I fell in love with this place..... We were "all" so warmly welcomed here. "All" means that my son brought his two stuffed animal cats and they sat at the table too. We had the crab bisque, lamb chops over autumn vegetables , seared duck over white chocolate polenta and green beans, and chicken fingers with mashed potatoes (guess who ordered that) and opera slices chocolate cake and creme brulee with berries along with an old-fashioned and a glass of Pinot Grigio. Every single bite for me was just a journey into sublime yumminess. The duck was seasoned and seared to perfection. I rarely let myself eat bread with butter or eat cream-based soups but they were both just spectacularly delicious with lots of big pieces of crab in the bisque. For my hubby, he could not stop raving about the white chocolate polenta.... which could have been a stand alone dish topped with the roasted vegetable. Would love to get the back-story on it since it's such an unusual pairing. The creme brulee, which is often disappointing, was blow torched to sugary perfection. The ambience was both whimsical and eclectic but also refined and romantic with the fireplace, fresh red roses, soft music, comfortable chairs and candles. The service and hospitality was just unparalleled. They were MUCH more kid-friendly than we were expecting. They were so welcoming to my son and his "kitties", they even brought them a little plate of food. They also brought my shrunken human a huge box of crayons and a one inch thick kids activity books with coloring, mazes, etc. He was thoroughly entertained and didn't want to leave. I realize that my overly glowly review sounds fake at this point. ( It would be my dream to be a paid restaurant critic but oh well). So here is some very minor nitpicking. My Pinot Grigio was not bad but just didn't pair well with the food. I don't eat lamb but hubby said that his lamb chops were ok but not outstanding.... just kind of "meh". The descriptions on the website don't fully describe the details and don't showcase the high-level gourmet quality of their offerings. ​Overall, this place completely knocked it out of the park in terms of the high-level of its food, ambience and hospitality. It was extremely memorable on many levels and I wish we could eat here every month. ​Thank you Krazy Kats! ​ ​ read more

Scrumptious Sunday brunch in this quirky restaurant, on the grounds of an Inn that used to be a steel manufacturing facility. There are some hilarious cat and dog paintings on the walls, with pet heads on regular portrait bodies. Most importantly, they make duck bacon -- who knew bacon could get any better? My egg breakfast (w/duck bacon) and fresh-squeezed OJ was lovely. Wife's tomato caprese was good, slightly different take than a classic because it had mushrooms, arugula and smoked mozzarella. Quinoa was a bit like porridge and a little too sweet. Friend's Belgian waffle was wonderfully indulgent as was the omelette du Jour. fresh-brewed unsweetened iced tea was also a hit. Service was friendly and helpful, though a little slow with water refills and so forth. But they kindly hung onto my credit card for me after I accidentally left it behind, until I realized it and came to retrieve it. So, extra points! read more

Here for a couple breakfasts and a business dinner. Breakfast was pretty standard, although that's because I ordered standard meals! 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes, smoked salmon. The potatoes were quite nice. Dinner was excellent. I ordered a cup of lobster bisque and regretted immediately that I didn't get a bowl! Crab cake entree was delicious and filling with meaty mouthfuls of crab. Honey carrots were ok, but the foie gras and brussel sprouts were amazing. No one wanted dessert until someone whispered apple crumble, which was pretty good. All in all, 2 dinner dishes above average, 3 dishes amazing! I love the decor although some may not like it -- at least it fits the theme! read more

My wife and I were in the area for an Anniversary celebration for close friends and planned for a nice dinner the night before. We asked for recommendations and Krazy Kats was mentioned many times. We started with Mushroom Soup for me and a Romaine Salad for Carol (using only safe Romaine, I am sure). Both were excellent and we started dinner with a bottle of Coppola Cab. I chose the Swordfish (large portion) while Carol chose Salmon (small portion). Both were prepared well, plated nicely and were delicious. We also ordered a side of mushrooms (they told me they were from Kennett Square) - they were delicious. Coffee, tea and a shared Creme Brulee finished our dinner. Service was excellent. This would have been a 5 star review but for the fact that we were seated in a side room, off of the main dining room. It was a nice space but nowhere near as nice as the main room. We were told that we had to request the main room when making a reservation. As this was our first time here, how were we to know of that rule? Lesson learned! Krazy Kats is considered one of the best restaurants in Delaware and they are living up to the hype (I know, it is a small state ...). It was a dark and stormy night when we came to dinner and it is a little hard to find, even with a GPS. read more

Krazy Kat's summer menu was great. The decor is bizarre but in a lovely way. Everything is cat themed including the chairs. We decided to try the prix fixe menu at $35 with a bottle of cabernet sauvignon. The bottle was just okay. The prix fixe menu was delicious. I had the crab bisque, duck bacon potato skins, and seared scallops. All three were absolutely delicious. I'm looking forward to the fall and winter menus. The staff was enthusiastic, but maybe a bit inexperienced. Krazy Kat's is a bit out of the way; it's a good place to stop for dinner after a long day in the Brandywine Valley or if you live near Wilmington. I definitely will be going back for another evening! read more

See all

Walt 447 Had my first meal there tonight. Crab bisque was fabulous. Grilled salmon was done perfectly, bourbon Manhattan was perfectly prepared. Topped of the meal with Apple cherry crisp and the best coffee I have had in yrs. This a place for quiet reflective dinning. This was the occasion of my 78th birthday and I fully to return again. Service is impeccable read more

Impressive decoration, not so impressive dishes. It will be nice if quality of food worth the price

Driving through area around lunch time on a Sunday and found Krazy Kat's. Menu looked interesting and very cute surroundings. Went into a completely empty restaurant. We were asked if we had a reservation and were turned away. Apparently they couldn't be bothered. read more
