The Best Local Oyster Bar that Includes Great Drinks, Food, Service – Husband and I have been coming here for a while as we live down the street - we were delighted to finally have a good restaurant to walk to. They have yet to disappoint. In the 10 or so times we have visited, the drinks were spot on (specials and on menu), service friendly and attentive and the food fresh and interesting. Their late night raw bar and drinks menu have saved me after other inferior meals. a good solid place all around.
Clean it up – The food and drinks at the Hungry Cat were impeccable.. The service was delightful from the hostess (Tess is absolutely charming), server and bus boys was incredible. They did not miss a beat. My wife and I own a small restaurant and we were pleased to finally find a restaurant in Los Angeles, that has such a hardworking and knowlegeable staff. Unfortunately, we were sitting close to the kitchen and had to hear the nonsense coming from the men working there, who are clearly heard and seen. It tarnished the whol... read more
Best cocktails in Los Angeles – This place is beyond good. I agree that the hostess is not very good at her job, but the wait staff here has always been EXCELLENT every time I've been there, and we go there quite often. They are very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Let me start with the drinks. They are AMAZING. They use all fresh squeezed juices, and they always have interesting, delicious mixes, with drink specials every night. The salads are perfection. Always good combinations, with just the right amount of dr... read more
AVOID . – Okay entres, Excellent fries. small portions. Nice waiters but Very, very::::: Slo::::::w service. Even after some tables were empty. After waiting for 40 minutes for drinks and to order, we asked for toast -for which we paid. This came to us burnt and 'with' the entres, another 20 minutes later? Never again.
Absolutely Delicious! – My boyfriend and I stopped by after an evening at the Grove. We were expecting a long wait after being told earlier that they were booked solid for the night and only bar seating was available. Surprisingly enough, we waited for only 15 mintues for patio seating. We were quite surprised that the menu was small--but with the menu so small we were sure they mastered each dish. He ordered the PUG burger and I had the ling cod with merguez and kale. The waitress did inform us that the kitchen was backed u... read more
Improved Service – I went to The Hungry Cat over the weekend and had to respond to all the negative reviews in regards to the service. I don't know if it was the reviews that made a difference, but the service was wonderful. The hostess was friendly and lovely, and our waiter couldn't have been nicer. The food, from appetizer to dessert, was amazing. I definitely will be going back again soon.
Great food and drinks! – Place was awesome. Somehow we got a walk in table on a weekend. Maybe we got there early? Anyway...the food was incredible. Shrimp app was perfectly cooked and seasoned perfectly. We got some kamquat cocktails that were awesome. Very fresh and very tasty. Our entrees were excellent as well. Fish was perfectly cooked to mid rare. The place is small and our server was awesome. She was very attentive and took great care of us. Everytime we have been back since we havent been able to get in with no reser... read more
Disappointed – I had high hopes for my first visit to Hungry Cat, but left feeling very disappointed, hungry, and ripped-off. Service was poor, staff pretentious and cold, and menu overpriced. I've had much better oysters at Ocean Avenue Seafood. I would never go back or recommend.
Avoid this Spot – After a longer than expected wait with reservations, I was dissappointed by the food and service. The food took an unusually long time to arrive. Especially considering you are not allowed to make any modifications to the items! The appetizers arrived with the entrees and were average at best. With all the great restaurants in LA, this place is worth skipping. Don't go here!
