Second time I have been here and I'm so happy the experience was just as wonderful as the 1st. We had the broccoli soup, fried olives, pork chop & scallops & a seasonal salad. Everything was lovely! The place is old & kind of falling apart. You can see the age in the restrooms. A cozy place with a little old charm.

Superb in every way. Service was perfect, pleasant and attentive without being overbearing. The food was well prepared and the flavors were well balanced. The Brussels Sprouts appetizer was intensely flavorful and there was a nice crunchy char on the sprouts. The light polenta and cheese in a tomato bisque-like sauce was beautiful and delicious. A creamy sauce clung to every noodle and shrimp in the Chipotle Shrimp Linguine, making it difficult to stop eating it before we burst! And the rich chocolate pot de crème was a decadent treat. Even the Tangerine beer and Fentiman’s ginger beer were excellent! Although the lighting in the room was uncomfortably low, it’s a very cozy and comfortable space. This was the best meal we had all week, with a price to match.

Came here before and was blown away by the food, service and atmosphere. Best food and wine experience of our week long trip. My second experience was underwhelming as we were seated in what can only be described as a small bedroom. There was no ventilation and the air was stale. The more people seated in this room made it harder to breathe. I ended up walking out and having food to go. The talent here deserves a better venue!

The food and service were amazing! Highly recommend the scallops and the Brussels sprouts as well as the flatiron steak and the ahi tuna was perfectly cooked. Very charming interior and playlist music was superb. Not loud at all but all the old classics (Tony Bennett etc) Thanks for a great evening!

The crowd here was parochial, but that’s not the restaurants fault;) Cambria is a special place and so is the Black Cat. Excellent service & I was able to get a reservation the same day.I had an excellent Noir, Nielsen Santa Maria, and the shrimp linguini was excellent.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant! The ambiance was perfect with great music and a cozy atmosphere, especially with the fireplace. I couldn't get enough of their incredible polenta, and the salmon was equally delicious. Trust me, you won't be disappointed here!
