I was taken to the Red Cat for my birthday, pre-theater and I can't put into words just how quaint and wonderful this evening was. The decor reminds me of something you would stumble across while travelling the french countryside. All the staff, hostess, bartender was very attentive, however the waitstaff could have slightly reduced the attitude. Regardless, they provided everything we needed quickly. The highlight of the food was definitely the appetizers and dessert. The entrees were excellent, but missing that finishing touch. Living in the city I'm always trying something new, but I would definitely come back to pet this cat. Pros: off the main path

Way out in Chelsea, Red Cat is worth the trip. Given the owners' past project, you could guess that this restaurant would be a success, but it is a perfect mix of chic and home-y. The dining room is lovely. The bar area is small, but they do a great job of seating promptly. And the specialty drinks are delicious if you have to wait. I had the peach and pancetta risotto first - who would have guessed that those two ingredients could be so delicious?! Pros: food, service, atmosphere

Being from Chelsea I've always wanted to try this place. I'm only sorry I didn't go sooner. The service was pleasant. The food was good, maybe even very good. We were seated right away. But don't get the parmigiana fries - they were the only downer. Everything else from the wine suggestion to the dessert was delicious. Pros: Good prices, Seated right away

lively restaurant - fun place, the atmosphere is perfect for a great casual meal. we had a reservation and were seated right away. waitress was nice, without being pushy. the food was very good (not great but certainly not disappointing). the only thing i was disappointed with was the foie-gras appetizer, which couldn't really compare with its counterpart in other restaurants. the light tempura of green beans was the best part of the meal! desserts were also very good, particularly the chocolate cake. definitely worth the trip! Pros: great atmosphere, tempura beans

Host was great, very friendly and accommodating. Our server started out miserable. It took about an hour before we saw her stop sneering. Never went out of her way for us, but eventually someone friendlier came by to finish the job. Food was OK, but Ive definitely had much better. Appetizers we had were creative and tasty, which increased expectations for the main course. My pork chop was a bit too fatty and not as succulent as I had hoped. The salmon was quite dry and lacked oomph. The peanut butter mousse desert was enjoyable. Good wine list with many quality wines at a wide range of prices. Decor was rather uninspired, but clean and had enough space, but still a little too close to other tables for my liking. I wouldnt wish one of the tables in the crowded bar area on anyone, though.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The staff is warm and personable, the atmosphere is relaxing comfortable. Also, it is one of the city's greatest values. The food is solid and hearty. You will not leave hungry. It's just as good for a special event as it is for a spontaneous, low-key, Tuesday night outing. Pros: Great atmosphere, great food, great staff
