The food was delicious and different which I enjoyed. The waitress was so sweet and she went over and beyond. I love the art and all the different sayings everywhere in the art. read more

Food was fantastic. I have a gluten allergy and they took care of everything. The environment was adorable and had a vintage feel in the best way. The drinks were delicious and our waiter was attentive and super nice! You do need to make a reservation ahead of time because they book up fast. Absolutely recommend coming here for any meal! read more

I've passed by this cafe so many times and finally decided to check this place out with a couple of friends. This cafe is very cute! You order your drinks at the front counter and they will bring you your food if you decide to get more than just a drink. I had the hot chocolate and would highly recommend it on a cold day; It was just what I needed to relax and feel warm! My friend ordered the cheese and fruit board -- and it was good! After eating and drinking, you can walk around the cafe to shop and look at the cute items they have around the store. We were also given free popcorn while we were there, which was nice. All in all, it was a nice way to spend an afternoon catching up with friends and I would definitely come back again. read more

I went to three cats for dinner. The food was delicious, there's no doubt about that. The issue I had was with the portion sizes, prices, and service. Service - Everything was flowing smoothly, we got our starter salads and then we sat there for another hour until we got our entrees. We also didn't see our server that whole hour. Portions/Prices - We ordered the chop chop and caprese salad, which were $10 & $12, relatively. They're a side salad portion, so I found it a bit overpriced. The dinner menu is divided up between small plates and mains, but the server told us everything is basically like tapas style. We got the margarita flatbread ($10) from the small plates and the wild mushroom ragout ($20) & Foley's salmon ($18) from the mains section. The flatbread was so much larger than the ragout and salmon dishes and it came from the small plates section. The mushroom ragout and salmon were delicious!! They were just so small maybe I'm just fat and eat too much?! Unfortunately, I don't think I would come back for dinner, but I have heard great things about brunch, so I'll be back to give that a try! read more

Three Cats is a very fun, unique spot. It's a combination store + restaurant, and you'll love looking around and taking in all of the special details: from the silverware to the furniture (for sale!), it's a beautiful place to be. We loved the Cats on a Tin Roof cocktail! The challah bread was also incredible. You don't even need butter to enjoy it. The menu doesn't clearly detail appetizers, but all of the plates are pretty small, and not necessarily priced accordingly. We decided to share the heirloom tomato stack (the server warned us that it was small, but the four of us each got a solid taste), the mushroom puffball, the broccoli cheddar timbale, chicken pot pie turnovers, and the corn raviolos. Definitely recommend the raviolos -- unique and so flavorful. All of our small plates were enjoyable except the puffball -- way too salty. We couldn't finish it. For dinner, we tried the seared medallion of angus tenderloin and the scallops. The scallops were a bummer. Only three small scallops served with some not-great veggies. The tenderloin was delicious, though they didn't have steak knives available, and the mushroom tagliatelle that it is served with was yummy. Not big fans of the ratatouille, but that may just not be our cup of tea. We also had two desserts: the bread pudding and the Brown Betty. Neither was mind-blowing, but the Brown Betty was the better of the two. The bread pudding bourbon sauce has a strong bourbon flavor that was almost bitter. Overall, a very cute spot with beautiful decor. A very unique menu. Even though not every dish was outstanding, there were several that really blew us away. We hope they have great success with their reopening. read more

Have been here twice now. Once for brunch and another time for dinner on the patio. Both times the food was excellent. Portions are decent and everything is high quality. I love that they only have local spirits. The entire vibe of the restaurant is great. I was concerned the patio would be noisy with the proximity to 14 Mile but it was not an issue. read more

What a blessing it was that I found Three Cat Cafe on Yelp a couple months ago! I live in California, and was planning my baby shower in Michigan remotely. I worked with Yvonne to plan the details of the party, which was an absolute pleasure... and super easy! Yvonne was very helpful with making small adjustments to the menu to cater to a couple of our requests.. but we barely needed to request anything because the menu was perfectly diverse and the pictures I had seen on yelp from previous events at Three Cats looked delectable. Overall, the decor, the food and the service made my baby shower a huge success. I was so proud to have my family and friends asking how I stumbled across such a special place. The photos from the day of the event were gorgeous... and barely any of this required any effort on my part!! Many of my family and friends look forward to hosting events of their own at Three Cats Cafe now! PS- we even came back a couple days later to eat lunch off their regular menu! read more

We had an amazing meal at Three Cats Saturday night, our new favorite place. Very unique inside, nice patio dining outside and not busy/ crowded. Waiter was amazing, answered our million questions.

What a cool place! We had a very nice dinner there. Started at the little bar with a yummy margarita and a glass of Pinot. Bar tender was cool and attentive. We got seated in the dining area and had our cool bar tender also be our waiter. Wife and I split a tender rib eye served with stewed cabbage which sounds odd but was good. This is a good restaurant! read more

Worst host service! My daughter and I went to eat brunch. Not a hello or even a smile. We walked in and they told us we have no seats till 1:45 (it was 12:45) there were only 3 people waiting, many seats open. I asked if it was cause of reservations and with a smirk the host said "yep" My question is what happens if someone doesn't show for their reservation? Needless to say we did not eat there and will never eat there due to the lack of emphatic staff. read more

Someone had told me there was a new cafe at Leon and Lulu, one of my favorite places to shop for random interesting knick-knacks. I wandered around that store for a bit before being told the restaurant was next door in the old Clawson Theater. When I walked into Three Cats no one greeted me and I was confused as to where I should go. There were more of the same kind of items for sale in the front. Then I saw the tables, but most were empty. I asked someone walking by me, who looked to be an employee, if they were open and she said yes, but didn't ask if I wanted to be seated. I looked at her questioningly and she motioned for someone at the back door who came forward. I had to ask to be seated. It was a weird and not very welcoming first start to my lunch. Once I was seated, my waiter Andy was prompt and extremely friendly. The menu items looked tempting, especially the wild mushroom tagliatelli. Then I noticed the duck leg confit, which came with the same pasta dish and that was the ticket. Andy asked about wine, brought me a sample of one of my choices. He could see that I wasn't impressed and we decided on another, Marietta Christa, Rhone Blend 2015, which was perfect. He mentioned that the chef (the locally well-known Matt Prentiss) had personally hand-picked the wine list. I'm no stranger to fine dining and love to cook, so it's seldom that I am served a dish that tastes better than I could make at home. The duck was taken off the bone and was tender and succulent. The wild mushroom pasta was a perfect foil, as was the blackberry and ginger buerre blanc, which was topped with julienned vegetables. It might be a little rich for some, but to my taste was perfectly seasoned (most places do not add enough salt for me) and was an extremely satisfying dish. Had I not been in public I would have been tempted to lick the empty plate. Kudos to the chef! If not for the rocky start, I would have rated Three Cats 5 stars. read more

We have had lunch here three or four times now, love the soups salads and flatbreads. They make pretty good crab cake too, and mussels in broth. Today we tried it for brunch on Father's Day and loved it. Service here is really well done, they have interesting combos like The Benoit which is a Benedict with a shrimp and corn cake and asparagus, or the duck hash or corned beef hash, loved also the cornflake crusted French toast. Nice cocktails and wine list as well. A nice place to grab brunch on sundays or lunch during the week. Haven't tried their dinner menu yet but I'm sure it's good too! read more

My wife and I enjoyed our breakfast at Three Cats. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the surrounding area. It was a very relaxing morning enhanced by the good vibes from Three Cats staff. read more

Good food, cute environment, everyone was super friendly! I recommend for sit down meal, drinks, or shopping!

This place was beautiful! Starting from the reservation we got there few minutes earlier and got our table just in time for our reservation! The whole staff was nice greeters and waitresses! Our waitress was nice, and knowledgeable of the menu! The wine was delish and the food was just yummy! We had the steak tenderloin Valentine's special dinner that came with potatoes and some vegetables and that was really good I would highly recommend it! The meat was tender and tasted specially with the mushroom sauce! Also we had the smoked salmon flat bread and chop so hop salad for appetizer and both were amazing! Love the food, the decor, the atmosphere, the treatment and all and would highly recommend going there! Also the chocolate trio was the bomb, extremely delicious and just the right end to a great meal read more

Was in Michigan to visit a buddy and have him show me around. I picked this spot and really woah my local buddy. I impressed the local, how cool is that This place has charm and great history. Service and food was amazing. It was former roller skate rink and had some unique decor! read more

My first time visiting this restaurant. Cool concept for an eatery. The food was very good. The ambiance was inviting and warm. It lacked direction as to where/how to order and sit. This could have simply been the cashier, she seemed a little spacey. However, it was a unique experience and I will definitely go back. read more

Three Cats - Turkey bacon avocado wrap with butternut squash soup. - New American Near Me - Clawson, Michigan

Ordered the 3 meals for $39 carryout special yesterday and can't wait to do it again!! I LOVED the option of mix & marching from previous day's specials. The squash soup and mushroom bisque were divine and the chocolate mousse and pot de creme both amazing!! The serving sizes are perfect- this is one of my new and very welcome answers to "What's for dinner tonight??" read more

Update: dropped in for Easter and loved the experience. I liked the updates to the menu, and staff were very patient, polite, and entertaining. An Easter bunny on rollerblades juggling? Yes, sign me up! It made for a entertaining and lighthearted brunch. I'll be back for the next adventure. read more

The atmosphere of this cafe is so cute! Came here for a mini event hosted by a friend and the waitstaff were very attentive. They did have a bit of miscommunication with an order since we had two tables. We ordered a fruit and cheese plate for both tables, but...It got split up. I tried their steel cut oatmeal with berries (blueberries). It came with a mini dish of cinnamon sugar to mix in. It was very delicious, but I do prefer the one at Commonwealth in Birmingham with the tiny beaker of milk to mix in. My friend ordered their chai latte and it smelled so delicious. I will definitely be coming back to try out more of their drinks. read more

Love the Three Cats Cafe for lunch in Clawson. Located inside The Show -next to Leon & Lulu. Look for the Clawson marquee! A limited but well thought out menu that has soup, salad and sandwich or wrap options. The ingredients are fresh and tasty. Unique offerings like turkey Brie and apple but you can also get a grilled cheese. Always presented on a nice plate with silverware (no paper and plastic ware here). Often served with a little side of potato salad or the like - always so good! Order & pay at the counter up front. Take your number and find a place to sit among the furniture, card and gift offerings. In the summer they have an outdoor patio, too which I love! This is a great place to meet a friend for lunch or quick snack. They offer coffee, but I've never tried it. Also yummy baked goods - try the mini cupcakes @ $1.50 each. read more

The space here is really great and I'd like to love this place but it just didn't do it for me. Upon arrival there was a big hubbub about seating us, the woman working was worked up over something a server was doing and mumbled a few f-bombs before walking away and then seating us 5 minutes later. However, once we were seated the service was fast and friendly! The food and drinks were just ok. We were there early afternoon on a weekend and had the brunch menu. My husband and I each ordered a berry mimosa, it was $9 and was so sweet and barely had any champagne. It has a sweet syrup taste to it. I ordered the corned beef hash, normally a staple for brunch. The hash was kind of burned on the bottom and the corned beef was large chunks of mostly fat. The homemade everything bagel sounded delicious, but was so heavy and doughy it was not great. The eggs were poached but no runny yolk :( Prices on the food were decent and we were able to walk next door and shop which was nice. One recommendation for management, I noticed a woman with a baby find out there was no changing station in the bathroom. Sadly for her, she had no other option but to change her baby on one of the couches in the waiting area, unappealing!! read more

Went there this summer. The food is a 5, the service we had was a 1, but the way management stepped in to rescue "date night" was a 5. We went during the lobster days. What a treat. I am going to leave all the service issues out and focus on the food. At that time, many restaurants had trouble getting professionals. I had a seafood bucket with lobster, clams, fish and I believe mussels. It was done perfectly. My wife had another lobster dish and she liked all of it. The sides were excellent too. I really cannot wait to go back again. Their carry out Prix Fixe menu looks great. Do yourself a favor and go. read more

The food was delicious! Our waiter had such a great personality and was excellent . The ambiance was nice but the lighting was very bright . We will be back read more

We came in for brunch with the grandparents on a Sunday around noon, loved that we were able to make reservations when so many spots in the area will only work based on a wait list. With two little kids it made a huge difference! We tried lots of different dishes between our group, the soup trio was so fun and delicious, the kids loved the pancakes, and every grown-up got something different - no one went home hungry and everyone was so impressed with the food. The service was wonderful and I really appreciated how open the restaurant felt, no chair backs pushing into each other or narrow spaces where you feel squished - sure they could cram a few more tables in but it would totally change the vibe. A+ top to bottom! Would love to return to try some brunch cocktails and shop a little longer next door when the kids are not going bananas :) read more

This place is always excellent! Fantastic food, atmosphere, and customer service! We have been bringing my 2 year old here since she was a baby. They go above and beyond to make us and her feel welcome. It is so hard to find places with super high quality food that are so family friendly. We have had their brunch, lunch, and dinner. All amazing. I highly recommend. read more

This place does not disappoint! We find ourselves always coming back to Three Cats because the food is on point, service is attentive and always pleasant. Why wait somewhere else when you can support a fantastic local business that is doing it the right way. Been here multiple times and I am now convinced that our previous visits were not one hit wonders. They truly do care about their quality, service and customers. Great job, i'll be back! :) read more

The food and service is great. The value is questionable. Bought the prepaid Valentines dinner for two for $100. This was the offering : Valentine's Dinner * $50.00 per person & Prepaid About this experience Be prepared to fall head over heals for this delectable dinner. Bring in your darling dear for a meal crafted by our fabulous cook Alex Matoin, complimented by swoon worthy drink pairings. LIVE Music from 5-9pm Featuring the marvelous George Montrelle First Course Soup or Caesar Salad Second Course Shrimp Cake with Corn or Mushroom Strudel Third Course Steak or Seafood Pasta Dessert Cheesecake with Chocolate Covered Strawberries $100 Per Couple Wine packages and specialty cocktails will be available. ACTUAL "DEAL": The second course was one serving that was shared between the couple. There were no drink parings. There was an offer of a bottle of wine starting at another $45. There was no cheesecake with chocolate covered strawberries. There was instead a "red velvet cake". The food quality was very good as was the service. Just felt like a bait and switch on what was offered. read more

Fun and inviting interior, a lot of items to keep visual interest. The food is very good, but note that the portions for everything are very small by American standards. This includes the "glass" of wine that was poured for me, which I finished in FOUR sips. This annoyed me when I saw other customer's wine glasses were definitely a bit more generous. A bottle of wine is supposed to fill five glasses. I feel like the bottle used to serve me was used to serve seven glasses. Maybe it was just my unlucky moment. Duck was small but well prepared, tender and flavorful. The soup was good, but not quite hot enough, and the large bowl was just barely half filled - the quantity was more like a scant cup of soup. Maybe, like my paltry serving of wine, maybe it was just a fluke of a meager serving. Would I go back? Probably. It's a good, fun, casual place that is inviting. The menu is creative and adventurous, the dishes are well prepared and the service is very good. If you don't like seafood, fish, or mushrooms, your options will be limited. And I would order a beer next time, not wine. (The beer selection looked really good!) read more

The menu is good, nice decor, execution just okay, but sometimes you just don't feel like you're getting value for the price. For me, $30 should mean I'm not leaving hungry like on my last visit. Perhaps that's because they forgot to even serve me the bagel that was supposed to come with the tiny portion of corned beef hash that had the undercooked watery poached eggs on it. I really didn't enjoy that dish, and I'm a corned beef hash fiend. There wasn't really enough corned beef to even get to appreciate it, it was more like a garnish. They ended up giving me the bagel in a to-go container, but it sure would have helped. Also did the soup flight, the mushroom soup taste and texture was amazing, the tomato soup was good but more like watery marinara, the asparagus pea soup needed salt. You would think two dishes and $30 would constitute a meal, but not here. read more

Portions skimpy. Ordered a Ruben got 1 slice of meat and 1 inch of kraut. Grilled cheese and soup didn't receive a half of a sandwich. Good place for a chat read more
