| - This place is great. Honestly just visited with friends from out-of-town as a lark.
I'm allergic to cats and take medication, but I was concerned that an hour inside the upstairs cat loft would stretch pharmaceutical science and my lungs to their limits. It did not. I found the loft to be immaculately clean...precious little cat hair migrated to the furnishings, no smell, no messes...just a bunch of EXTREMELY docile well-groomed kitties.
Unlike Dobby, my cat (I hope you're reading this, Dobby), they were all extremely accepting of petting and cuddles and did not tear ass all over the room destroying my furniture for no apparent reason. They seemed very at home in the loft and cavorted happily in and amongst the cat castles strategically interspersed among the more people-suited couches and chairs.
You guys...they serve liquor. I ordered their version of a French 75 (some cat-related name derivation or other) and it was delicious.
One complaint, and it is minor, is that it wasn't immediately apparent who actually worked there. She had a laptop and I honestly thought she was just some young lady enjoying a stress-easing change of work (or study) venue, sitting on one of the couches, absently petting a cat. Once I realized she worked their, she happily and readily parted with the laptop, took my order and disappeared downstairs to fill it.
Service upstairs is necessarily slow. One waitress per 10 people (they limit the loft to 10 at a time) and a trip downstairs then up. Service downstairs I didn't experience, having arrived a bit late and escorting my friends immediately upstairs for our reservation.
I'd return. I'd order a drink five or so minutes before my reservation, take it up and then order another after I got there if the spirit moved me. Just more convenient that way. Definitely worth a visit with a cat lover. Reservations required for the cat loft.
