Love the ambiance. Excellent soups, good food. Quality of the food has changed over the past few years. I ordered the grilled cheese and it was average and not as described on the menu. Won't order that again. read more

I don't do many 5 star reviews but this place.....oh this place...ok first so so cute!!! Just adorable. Such a celebration of Michigan and quirky decor in the very best way. Service was 5 star plus--couldn't have been better. Food was interesting and very good. Mushroom soup is more like a mushroom porridge but it was great. Beet salad was so good--the lemon vinaigrette was memorable. We had the chicken pasta dish and it was delicious--I will be back--it's an experience. Love this place!!! They are doing it right read more

Cool place!!! Great food!! I loved looking at all the greeting cards and memorabilia. Service was outstanding. Outdoor seating too!

New Year's Day brunch. Didn't go well. Not the best way to start the year. We could have went anywhere but came here. Never again. Never. The attitude, very poor service, and overall quality of food has been going downhill. Today sealed the deal. Nope! Nada ! read more

The food was great! The menu is full of intriguing meals that all sound so good. They have vegan options as well. Friendly staff and unique interior. However, the price for a glass of wine was shocking....Either way I'll be back! read more

We had a 1/2 hour wait to be seated for lunch, to start. We ordered 2 Ruben's and it took them 4 tries to get a sandwich right with only 3 ingredients. Very little corned beef on the Rubin. We were there for 1 1/2 hours just for a sandwich. On the bright side the mushroom soup was delicious. If I went back I'd probably just get soup and a salad. read more

Cute little brunch spot with an expansive menu. Ample outdoor seating and it was shaded so super comfortable. We got the duck confit hash and the cornflake French toast along with a Bloody Mary and mojito. Drinks were subpar. Mojito had zero actual mint leaves and was very weak. Bloody Mary was decent but nothing to write home about. Food presentation was great. Duck was tender and juicy. French toast was crispy. In general the flavors seemed just a bit flat. It's good, just not great. Overall an enjoyable brunch spot. Will probly return to try some of their other offerings. 3.5/5 read more

This place is amazing (especially for a girls night out). Food is delicious and service is great. If you go in the evening you might as well enjoy a glass of wine (or2). & if you were to go during the day you might enjoy boating the store next door/Neon & Lulu. I've returned to Three Cats many times in the past and I see myself revisiting again in the near future. It's my favorite place (by far) in Clawson. read more

Another great experience at Three Cats Cafe! They have done an exceptional job during Covid for spacing and table placement. All staff are fully masked and hand sanitizing stations all over. The food & drinks were amazing. I got a Bloody Mary that had the perfect mix & garnishes. The everything bagels are so good, everything is so fresh and prepared well. Highly recommend! I've never had a bad meal here read more

Carrying on in the tradition of its late, great founder Matt Prentice, Three Cats provides a homey, relaxing vibe coupled with thoroughly professional service, and just plain good food (not to imply the food is plain - just good).

When we first walked in (reservation pre made) the hostess' greeting was: "we have a set time limit of 1.5 hours"...WTH?! Ok, but when it took 15 minutes for our server to ask if we wanted coffee we started getting nervous-lol. 15 minutes later he took our order. Food review: my scrambled eggs were hellacious (aka awful). I had to flag down a server to ask for ketchup and salt. He never reappeared. So i flagged down another one and he did bring it to the table but this was a total of 10-15 minutes later. Now the eggs were ice cold as were to potatoes. Eggs~ Way over done; actually browned. Potatoes were so over cooked I had to scoop them up because my fork couldn't pierce them (can't make this up!). The bacon didn't taste right and my breakfast companions took one bite and left theirs on the plate too. I didn't want to make a fuss and ask if they liked it...that was obvious. Coffee had a weird sour taste. How could this meal get any worse you ask??? The pretentious host came over and said our time was up at the table. Lol- omg. There were 6 (yes I counted them) empty tables and NO one was waiting. I was dining with friends from out of town and thought this place would be a "special treat". Ummmm- maybe for the 3 actual cats they're serving, but for humans? It was an embarrassment for me to no end! How does the saying go? One unhappy customer tells how many people? Three Cats you're going to have to up your game IF you even care. I'm thinking not, or you would NEVER have employed a hostess like this one. My last view was 5 years ago...I had HIGH HOPES! Silly me. read more

I love eating here. Had brunch here on Sunday and everything we ordered was amazing! Had a great waitress too named Heidi. Its so beautiful to sit here in this beautiful place and have brunch. Great drink menu too with specialty drinks. Check out the plates and glasses they are so unique. A lot of old indiana glass and china. Love how she pulls all this together. read more

The food here has always been excellent. The menu changes with the seasons and I haven't had a bad dish ever! My last meal was their three soup sampler and mushroom risotto. Both were perfect. The decor and atmosphere is definitely on the eclectic side but actually harmonious with the menu they are presenting. Everything says this isn't your normal run of the mill eatery. If you really want to try something different I would put this at the top of your list. read more

Waiting for 15 mins after being seated and it was only after my boyfriend made the comment, "does anyone know we're here"? Did a server approach us. Right as our food was being delivered we were informed the restaurant was out of what we ordered so the server took it upon himself to substitute our entree. Never once was provided beverage refills. Watched as our server had other tables getting up and approaching him with questions, Had to flag him down to get the bill. Never asked how our meal was. Food was cold and drink was short poured for the price. Great ambiance, but that's about it. Most likely won't be coming back. read more

Brunch was phenomenal. Cornflake french toast, duck confit benedict, a corned beef hash and salmon benedict. The food was rich, creamy, savory and absolutely delicious. They even make their own bagels in house and you can clearly taste the difference! Our server made excellent recommendations and our table of 3 were very pleased with our first time here. The drinks were tasty too. My only suggestion to the owners and chef of Three Cats would recommend... possibly using mimosa glasses instead of wine glasses for your patrons. I mean if you are going to go all out with a wine glass, I would recommend either filling it up more or go with your traditional champagne flute so that it doesn't look so... skimpy? With that aside, the food and beverages were good and service was wonderful. I'll be back and I'll bring the family next time. read more

If you live in Clawson and haven't tried, you're missing out! Such a quaint place that you almost don't want to tell people about cause the food was DELIGHTFUL. I was here for a bridal shower and our table gushed over the food. We were served one of their hand pies, a croissant sandwich and a fresh side salad. All three (especially together) were exquisite but we loved the hand pie. It had a number of fresh ingredients in it and I ate slowly to savor every bite! 11/30/19: Met a friend for brunch after their newly updated menu and concept and it continues to impress! We shared their wild mushroom quiche and French toast and both were show stoppers. The quiche came with the most amazing potatoes and I'm already dreaming of having this dish again. The atmosphere is in a class of itself; beautifully decorated tables, individual China place settings, and excellent service. I personally can't wait to meet more friends and family here again. read more

A very eclectic venue, with a super creative menu, and great food. This place has a great ambiance. It's in an old theater converted to a restaurant, that sells cool old stuff. In fact, most of the decorations are for sale. Great for dates, groups, everything. Menu: very diverse and creative. Has vegetarian options. Tons of seafood flown in every 2 days. Impressive menu overall. Service: a bit understaffed, but well trained and professional. It was pretty full on a Sunday. Not sure they expected it. Wine: short but great wine list. Has a bit of everything for everyone. Markup is extremely reasonable. Food: everything was delicious. Soups are all fantastic. Mushroom bisque fantastic. Gaspatcho really good. Boston chowder fantastic. Carrot soup swing and miss. They have very reasonably priced seafood steamer baskets with half a lobster. The scallops come with asparagus mushroom stuff that is delicious. Crab cakes are delicious too. Korean brisket sandwich could be a bit spicy but otherwise good. And the warm blueberry crisp is out of this world. Not too sweet. Overall: Reasonably priced great place. A must try. read more

Wonderful atmosphere with great food! The portions were larger than I thought they would be. I ordered the Mushroom Tagliatelle, which was really good! The star of the meal were the veggies in the Vegetable Birds Nests, in my opinion. We got the chocolate three ways for dessert, and although it was decent, I wouldn't order it again. read more

This was our first time here. We made a reservation on Resy and arrived a few minutes before our scheduled time. We didn't have to wait long before we were seated. We ordered coffee, warm exotic mushroom salad, three cats benedict, and corned beef hash. The salad was our "starter" and we didn't have to wait long for it. The description said, sautéed exotic mushroom blend, spinach, shaved Brussels sprouts, parsnip crisps, shallot vinaigrette. However, the salad had mushrooms, spring mix, Gorgonzola cheese, and bacon lardons. One of us doesn't eat Gorgonzola cheese and the other doesn't eat meat. Needless to say, we each (unknowingly) took a bite of what we don't eat! It's a huge mistake to add cheese and meat to a salad that isn't supposed to have either. The hash and Benedict were both good. It would have been nice to have a few more potatoes with the Benedict. The owner/ manager apologized a couple of times for the salad and said she hopes we come back. Her apology was so sincere. She also took care of our bill. We will be back for dinner. read more

Went for brunch. Great decor and ambiance. Staff were friendly, but service was not great, looked like it was understaffed. Food was not good. Crabcake Bennie was very fishy. It was 2 crabcake with poached egg on top and a slight drizzle of Hollandaise. The asparagus was thin, overcooked, not edible. No muffin or bread under the cake. Ordered a side of toast which was $5 for one piece of bread cut on a diagonal. Other brunch egg entrees also did not come with toast. Had to order additional bread for those. The thick cut bacon was definitely not thick cut. $7 for a few thin slices that looked like they came out of a pre-cooked fridge pack. We tried the soup trio. Soup was tasty, but came out lukewarm to cold. As did all the other food. French toast was tasty. Had high hopes. Cute place. But left very disappointed. read more

Before I forget, John our server was AMAZING. Sweet, positive, attentive, quick, funny, efficient. Just great and he deserves a shout out! THIS PLACE IS WORTH TYE HYPE. Yes I meant to do all caps are if I'm yelling that out to you. Just go. There wasn't a thing about this restaurant I didn't love. So much so that after late brunch on Saturday we make a Sunday morning reservation to dine inside. Brunch one: We didn't realize they have dedicated parking so we walked to this place from a nearby parking lot. We were actually way quicker than we thought for how busy they were. We sat on the patio at a table that was both shaded and then not at all. The hostess disinfected the menus before seating us and a waiter very efficiently cleaned the table off for us. Our server John truly added to how great this place was. It's all in the details. The menu is Devine and even the "expected" dishes had some unique flare. We both got bloody Mary's with the fixings. Very good and quality meat, cheese and veggies were skewered. They even spice their tomato juice in house and add homemade basil pesto in. We then shared the smoked salmon tartar which was so elegantly plated! Served cold in a martini glass with warm toasted and buttered crostini's on these gorgeous vintage plates. The appetizer plates were beautiful too. We then both decided to get the two seafood eggs Benedict's on the menu and split them both to try more delicious items in one sitting. The crab cake Benedict is served with fresh asparagus and is a bit heavy because the crab cake is on a biscuit but it was rich and delicious. The salmon lox Benedict was AMAZING. I am partial and am a sucker for both eggs Benedict and lox so both at once was nothing if not just double good. Pricey here but worth it. Brunch two: we arrived right on time for our reservation and they greeted us by the name it was reserved under. Nice touch. We sat on the back of the main dining room and really loved being able to take in all the amazing circus bizzare themed antiques and vintage items which were EVERYWHERE. This is a place you need to view from all angles, like a where's Waldo picture, you always see something new. Our waiter, Scott was great. I got a local ground coffee, my cousin got a blueberry mimosa which she enjoyed but was not impressed with. We shared avocado toast which was very vibrant and fresh with all the light dominant flavors. Creamy smashed avocado on a Jewish bread called challah. Topped with pico and poached eggs. Again stunning dinnerware graced the table. Much cooler meal today though which was nice on this humid weekend. My one cousin just ordered the granola parfait which was exactly as expected but served in a cute glass. My other cousin and myself both got the huevos rancheros. I LOVED it and she just liked it. The waiter brought super delicious hot sauce which I put on everything. Such a great experience. Highly recommend walking off the indulgence next door at Leon and Lulus. Which we did both days. This restaurant brought an old theater back to life honoring and embracing the history with artwork and articles framed and decor... the store next door does the very same but to an old skating rink. Again just go. Thank me later. Cheers! read more

Let's start with the wonderful: Our server was top notch! Charming, kind, and he definitely knew the menu. We had never brunched here before and leaned heavily on his recs, which were all delicious! The atmosphere is eclectic and beautiful...from the mismatched tableware to the gorgeous store decor. We walked in at 10 am on a Saturday without a reservation since the app showed available tables. Were somewhat surprised that we had to wait with so many unseated tables but expect the "hosts" wanted to ensure we were not seated at a reserved table. We were approached about 90 minutes into our experience and told we needed to vacate the table for a reservation. Hosts are not very hospitable... they made us uncomfortable upon entry and at exit. If you're looking for a unique brunch experience and delicious food, make a reservation and understand you should keep it under two hours. read more

This was our first visit and it most definitely won't be our last! The food and drinks were SPECTACULAR! The server we had was very warm and welcoming.

Three cats has a cool ambiance and is in a former theater (original marquee and all). It's former life can be seen throughout the decorations of the interior, which has a very homey vibe. The food was great. I had the chicken and waffles, which featured crunchy fried chicken and crispy waffles. For dessert (dessert for brunch??), I had the Mom's coffee cake bread pudding. A description that was true on all counts. We sat on the patio and the service was great! Definitely hit up three cats...especially for brunch! read more

Came here a few times and the food is solid. Price is pretty reasonable and filling. I love the lox bagels & that they make their own lox for some items.

Since finding open restaurants in the metro Detroit area right now is hit or miss due to Covid, I used yelp to find a brunch spot during my stay in Troy. I saw three cats listed in yelp and went to their website where they mentioned they take reservations and are open for dine in service, which continues to be some thing of a rarity in Detroit. When we arrived we were greeted warmly by the hostess and we're given our choice of seats at the high bar or lower table and we decided to sit at a table. We both ordered the mushroom bisque as a starter. The mushroom bisque is different from others that I've had an absolutely delicious. It doesn't have a lot of broth, so the consistency is almost like oatmeal, but I didn't miss the broth at all as the flavors were absolutely delicious. I ordered the crab Benedict and my friend ordered the French toast both were delicious and very large portions. I would only note to the owners if they read this, that it might be helpful to let diners know that you have a full bar as I would have gladly ordered a bloody Mary or two had I known that was an option! Great service and exceptional food I will definitely return on my next trip to the area! read more

I am only sorry I didn't come here sooner. Best brunch in town. The freshest ingredients, great atmosphere, decadent flavors. They have their crab flown in every other day from Boston and mix their own Bloody Mary mix in house daily. The carrot muffins were rustic with huge chunks of raisin and SO moist. The butter was like a cloud. The wait staff was amazing. Shout out to our new friend Alex!We can't wait to go back for dinner!! Annnd were probably buying our dining table here.

Wow! We still may only be carrying out in these pandemic days, but we discovered this new treasure in Clawson! Ordering was a cinch as we perused the winter menu online. It was worth it to stop in this eclectic environment to "pick up" rather than getting curbside. Such cool decor from the artistic team at Leon and Lulu's next door- and then when we got home and reheated our entrees they came out just perfectly delicious. First we shared the yummy chop salad (loved the Russian dressing) to start the meal. Mitch had the grilled Indiana Duck confit and found the flavors and texture to be such a great change from chicken. Marcy had the Sautéed Chicken in Michigan plum wine and cranberry sauce. The accompanying potatoes and winter vegetables were a flavorful combination. We can't wait for normalcy to dine inside but for now we've found ourselves a purr-fect new restaurant At Three Cats Cafe. Another wonderful dinner tonight. Can't wait to see you on the patio! read more

I enjoyed Three Cats. It didn't blow me away but it was solid. I went on a Wednesday night after losing power... again, and it seems they did too as the generator was running so there was no A/C which made it a touch uncomfortable, but you can't do much about that. I arrived and was seated, the hostess said she would get me some water and I asked for it without ice - she said she would send a waiter over. The busser came by with a pitcher and started to pour to whom I requested "no ice" but he poured with ice and said, "Oh, well then do you want me to take it back or is it ok?" I kept it, but ended up not drinking it because invariably someone comes and fills it with more ice! I had the Caprese Salad but it was made with cherry tomatoes with filler greens to make it look more robust. It was good, but not what I expected. I then had the Frutte de Mar, which was pretty good. I also had a glass of Pinot. It was too warm so they don't monitor the temperature of the wine (unless of course this was due to power issues. ) So yeah it was good- I am not running back but I would stop again. Probably a rounded up 3.5. read more

3 of us ordered the special dish, mushroom pasta. The noodles were under cooked and clumped together like they had sat in a strainer for the 30-45 minutes we waited to be served.There was barely a hint of sauce and neither the noodles or the mushrooms had any taste. I took a bite and thought I need salt, I need some kind of flavor. The waitress has eaten this every night it has been on the menue? The soup trio was the high light. $170 later, it was the worst meal I have ever choked down. The 3 of us should have returned the meals. read more

I must say the Three Cats puts Clawson, Mi on the map! As you can see from the dishes I photographed, they were prepared by renowned chef Matt Prentice. I have known Matt most of my life ever since my mother (RIP) who was an event planner and party decorator found Matt one of his first private catering jobs while he was still working at Deli Unique, Oak Park, Mi. His choice of pairing the fresh root vegetables and proteins with different sauces is simply not simple. But the taste is qualifilably delicious! The salmon with the blood orange vinaigrette served with asian vegetables is amazing! Even more indulgent is George's Bank Scallops with asian shiitake mushrooms, julianne peapods, and indonesian sambal drizzled with blood orange vinaigrette. If you are a mushroom lover, like me then you have to try the Trumpet mushroom salad with sherry walnut vinaigrette and roasted beets. For dessert, I recommend the Trio of Chocolate. You will dive into the decadent chocolate pot du creme, and the white and milk chocolate mousse. Will I be back?? ABSOLUTELY! read more

This is such an interesting place to eat dinner! Very unique and full of character. I met a friend here last night and we both loved the atmosphere of the place. I came in thru the street side door and two people that worked there seemed confused as to why I was there. They just looked at me. Not the most welcoming feeling. I asked for a table and they directed me to the side door area. Kind of made for an awkward start but the evening improved once we were seated. Our server was very attentive. I ordered the butternut and apple bisque. It was very tasty but very thick and chunky. I always think of bisque as very smooth and creamy. I also got the beet stack which was fresh tasting and loaded with goats cheese. My friend had the Caesar salad which was pretty small but she enjoyed it and the salmon tartare dish. She said the tartare was very good. We were given rolls with butter that were decent. It was pretty empty (but it was a Monday) - hope this place continues to grow and get more popular! read more
