The name always confounded me, for some reason, maybe because I just wasn't paying attention. Had I known it meant \"the black cat\", I would have maybe gone in sooner. What? I have a black cat, you know.\n\nThe inside is way more spacious than I always assumed. I went on a Friday, and it was pretty packed. I had no idea it was such a spot (as Anna V. mentioned). Anyway, the service was exceptionally friendly, and the food was delicious. My friend's goat cheese pizza had a remarkably tangy sauce and my gnocchi Gorgonzola was heavenly. \n\nGreat martinis, too. Not too vodka-y tasting and such a smooth mix of flavours. I'm not used to paying $10 or more for a drink (not since I went to New York), but they were so good (and I was feeling so indulgent) that I had two. \n\n...Oh yeah, and the cat silhouettes on each corner of the table made me swoon."^^ . .
