If you’re looking to book an event for a group of 25 or less, this is your spot. Erica was our host. She took care of all the details. She was consistent with her communication and went above and beyond to make our day special. The entire restaurant staff were so welcoming and helpful. Shoutout to Brie our wonderful bartender. The food is absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and made with the freshest ingredients. We had the best time. Thank you to all of the Monkey Cat team for making our family celebration a wonderful experience.

Awesome food in a very beautiful space! The chef and crew prepares the most fabulous food! And the mixed drinks were fantastic. Service was great, friendly and fast, and we were never wanting. Mains were all perfect, shrimp corn dogs were delicious, and the carmel cheese cake and butter cake were sublime!
We keep going back! So good! This time the Besos de Jamica (drink), and shrimp corn dogs stole the show! Then the Stroganoff, filet, lobster linguine, and short ribs were great mains! Topped off with beautiful lemon cake and cheesecake! Another memorable dinner!

We had an amazing dinner with exceptional service by Erica tonight. Erica was so welcoming and enjoyable. We shared the beet salad and it was out of this world and the creamy blue cheese and tangy vinaigrette paired perfectly with the roasted beets. Mike had the rack of lamb which came with roasted fennel and Brussels sprouts and it was delicious. I had the seafood rissotto which was equally delicious. We both thoroughly enjoyed the food, ambiance and thank you Erica for providing exceptional service. Highly recommend.

Similar to other reviews, I was really disappointed in the food here. We also got the short rib and seafood risotto like many of the other reviewers and had the same issues: the risotto is described as having lobster, scallops and some other seafood and we got risotto with two scallops on it. The short rib was clearly a piece of pot roast that unfortunately was dry and salty and I love salt so that’s saying a lot. The risotto was good but not for $45. That was $90 worth of mediocre food. I’m not really sure how mislabeling like that can continue for so long according to the dates on other reviews, but that’s what you get if you order one or both of those items. Our drinks were good, but I’m not sure any cocktail is worth $18. I live in the Bay Area and wouldn’t pay that. We still left a good tip and spent almost $200 for two entrées, two cocktails and two glasses of wine.

This restaurant is in old town Auburn, on a street beautifully lit with string lighting at night. Our service was great! Unique ice figures in our drinks. The appetizers and dinner choices were delicious. The desserts were 50/50 – the caramel cheesecake was fantastic, but the cream brûlée was watery and not good at all, which is why I could not give this dining visit a 5 star review.

Celebrated our daughter’s 19th at the Monkey Cat before she heads back to Pennsylvania for college. We made a reservation for 3 a day before and when we arrived….we were impressed. The Monkey Cat Crew greeted us and continued to be on point all around 5 stars to the Chefs, and the whole crew. Our server was great too!

Stopped by for lunch. Good selection of sandwiches. We chose the TBLT and the 3 mini tacos plus fries. Our server was very friendly and efficient. The food was fresh and tasty. The restaurant was pretty quiet for a Saturday. They were playing 80s music which we loved.

I have been here about 3 times. I have always had a great experience! The burgers and the Malibu Barbie drink are both amazing.

Visited for dinner after not dining at this restaurant for some time. Very pleased with the service I received and I would say that the food was decent. For the price point, I had higher hopes that it would be a bit better and the food came out luke warm rather than hot. I did love the tomato blue cheese soup though and would return just for that! The gummy bear drink was so cute too!
