    Our table w/uniquely sculptured vase (sold next door at Leon and Lulu's)
    Linda S.

    While visiting Troy MI, we researched/looked for a place nearby that we've never tried. Decided on Three Cats, and were so pleasantly surprised at its' goodness...from food to decor/atmosphere, to service! What a fun spot! So good that we brought our MI friends (who'd never even heard of it) and their family two days later! If you go, check out their Leon and Lulu, the most interestingly unique shop you'll ever want to see! Let the pictures speak for themselves!

    The restaurant atmosphere is so fun and vibrant and interesting. We did not find the food and service to match that atmosphere. Our server was short with us. No smiles. He seemed irritated for us to be ready to order. The fresh squeezed brunch orange juice was super acidic and not sweet at all. Egg sandwich was a mess of heavy mayonnaise with unmelted cheese and one egg. Breakfast smashed potatoes were not smashed and not crispy. The gazpacho was enjoyable and the sweet potato salad redeemed my meal. It was really delicious. I am not sure I would dine here again, but will continue to shop at their attached store Leon and Lulu.

    This place is so vibrant inside, reclaiming what it used to be in the era it existed in (a small movie theater). I met a friend here for brunch and it's very old-school diner-like inside. It's really cool and vintage! I got a very delicious breakfast sandwich and a mimosa. The sandwich on a brioche bun and two thick turkey sausage patties was very tasty and filling! I would definitely come back and try some more menu items!

    Cornflake French toast
    Stephanie A.

    Brunch with my sisters and Aunt was very good. Coffee cake was warm and cinnamon-y. The cornflake French toast was vey good - crunchy and not overly sweet. The "I could have made this at home" breakfast was good. Soup flight - she said it was okay but the mushroom soup was lack luster, pretty bland. Chilaquiles was good. Large portion too And the chicken tenders sans the waffle was kind of disappointing- pretty much looked like they came out of the frozen food section. (The only thing I didn't take a picture of) Service was great for a busy Sunday brunch. Restaurant was cute and had many interesting things to look at.

    Enjoyed brunch here with a good friend of mine. We made reservations, which was such a nice change for a brunch spot. Being able to sit right down instead of waiting was a huge plus. I ordered the chilaquiles and we shared pancakes. The flavors were great, but everything came out cold, including the chorizo. That said, I would absolutely give it another try, as it felt more like a timing issue in the kitchen than a reflection of the food itself. The atmosphere was amazing. Everything was beautifully arranged, and I loved how the space used vintage pieces in an eclectic way while still feeling modern and fresh. Overall, a nice spot. I would definitely go back and would recommend giving it a try as well.

    Mushroom Soup
    Cienah R.

    Took my mom here for brunch and the interior has such a cool vibe! Decorated super cute with the most unique finds. Started with the mushroom bisque which had good taste, but unfortunately came out not hot at all. Unfortunately we had to ask for it to be heated up. Then we shared the "I could have made this at home" which was eggs, bacon, and "crispy mashed potatoes". We assumed everything may have been pre made ahead of time and just ready in a buffet style manner because our bacon nor the potatoes were hot either. The potatoes came out cold unfortunately and were not crispy, and the bacon was not fresh. Service was great, but unfortunately will not be coming back.

    Boursin Pear Flatbread
    Emily C.

    This place is so cute and quirky. I love the decor and how it all is mismatched. Our server was really good and she checked in just often enough. She helped guide us when we had questions on the menu and made for a great experience. To the food...the bourbon flatbread was the perfect balance or sweet and savory, and the dough was cooked perfectly to hold the toppings. My only complaint was the platter it was brought on. It was too small and when bits of food fell they loaded all over the table since the board barely held the flatbread. The smash burger was juicy and the sauce on it made the burger! Fries were crisp and delish! We will return!

    Went here recently for dinner and the inside of the restaurant has really fun decor everywhere. All of the staff was super kind, friendly, and helpful and the food came out really quickly. I got the rigatoni bolognese and the pork Milanese, both of which were super flavorful and delicious. I would definitely recommend Three Cats to anyone looking for a fun and delicious spot to eat.

    Mushroom Bisque Soup - my favorite thing on the menu!
    Rhonda A.

    Three Cats Cafe is such a cute spot in downtown Clawson. I've been here a few times for brunch and the service is always friendly and attentive! The food is great too - the only thing I would say, is that I wish the menu was a bit larger with more to choose from, but everything I've ever gotten was delicious! They have one of the best Mimosas & Espresso Martinis in town too!

    What a cool idea for a restaurant! Three Cats is adjacent and related to Leon & Lulu's. It's kind of a store front but with tables for dining. I'm in a group of women that goes to restaurants starting with the next letter of the alphabet each month. So when the waiter asked what brought us in, we explained that to him. He thought it was a great idea! Most of us ended up ordering the same thing: Chicken Champagne . It was lightly breaded chicken breast on a bed of pasta with a lovely mushroom and champagne sauce. We all liked it. The other two women, who ordered other things (one had the short ribs and the other had a salad) also enjoyed their meals. The only thing missing to me was that everything is a la carte; no bread or accompanying salad/soup comes with the entrees. For $23 and up, I would expect that at least one of these things would be included. Still, the food, atmosphere and service were quite good, and i would definitely return should the occasion arise.

    Lauri K.

    I always enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant if you want atmosphere and a wide open pleasant happy place it is perfect. Service was good. I didn't care for the mushroom soup. It was just purée mushrooms. It was very flavorful however, I just don't need to eat baby food and that's what it felt like even though it was flavorful for must say.. Everything else was tasteful and enjoyable.

The overall consensus though was that everything tasted fantastic. Coming from the Bay Area, I have high expectations when it comes to Asian food, so I was pleasantly surprised by how great the pad thai tasted. The clam chowder was creamy and delightful. The crab cakes were the perfect size and not teeny tiny. The lamb ragu was very well done also and my husband is a big fan of lamb so he really enjoyed his meal. Since we were there early, it was quiet which was nice. Would definitely return in the future the next time I am in Michigan.

A hostess who takes your money and gives you a bracelet, automated beer, and you use your phone to order from the kitchen, they text you and you go get your food.

The host is in the front said at the end of 32 oz is your bracelet will not work and you need to come up and see me to reset it. I guess that's how they would monitor whether or not someone could get another 32 oz? I'm surprised not more places have copied their business layout.

I wasn't either yet, so the coast was clear. We sat at the bar and it was vino for bestie- a malbec and a black cherry bourbon cola slushy and agua for me. Mike was our bartender / server and he made sparkling conversation like we were old friends. He just got back from Vegas. He went to Chinatown. Love it! The atmosphere is a light wood, sports bar feel, the tvs were closed captioned, and the menus had QR codes. There was a $30 ancho salmon on the menu. It came with my choice of side. I opted for the Greek salad. She got French onion soup and quinoa salad. Let's talk about my meal and why I'm giving 5 stars despite the whole front step thing. The salmon was perfect. It has a crispy red speckled exterior that was slightly spicy and very savory. Inside it was perfectly cooked and moist. It was just a bit less than an inch thick and pieces flaked off on my fork easily. There was no fishiness and I ate the crisp skin, which I never do usually with salmon. It was divine. It came with a side. The Greek side salad took up half my plate and it was piled high with a truly interesting and thoughtful array of quirky bites. It was weird for sure- but it worked. Picture a Greek salad in your mind. Ok this is not that. It had the usual crunchy lettuce with a light and tangy Greek dressing. There were vibrant and sweet red onions and feta. And then it got wild. There were crunchy pickled beets, roasted tomatoes that tasted like basil, sweet jalapenos, (Yes- you read that right!) crunchy fried garbanzos that tasted like Indian spices... It was the strangest and most deliberately delicious Greek salad I've ever had. I'm not a salad person. At all. This was the star of the show, but that salmon was stiff competition. Together, the meal sang. You have no idea the gratitude that swept over me after having that nursing home salmon at Red Robin for my birthday. I have been vindicated. This is the salmon I was meant to have. This is the salmon I deserve. I can now return to Las Vegas satisfied that Michigan did show up in a big way for me today. Thanks Vincetta Garage and Mike! Five stars! Fix your step.
