3 years agoThe wait from ordering to food when food came out was almost an hour and if they would have been busy I could have understood that. The sad thing was that the eggs were cold, the French toast was undercooked to the point my child could not eat it as can be seen in the picture, there was no brulee with that French toast. I was really disappointed. I did not say anything because I did not want to wait another hour for food. Waitress was nice though never refilled our waters nor offered an explanation why food took so long.

3 years agoA nicer spot for some decent food. Notably, we went during the summer months, outside the standard school year. It was very easy to get in and the service was great. Their interior space is dark and calming while the exterior patio has some great outdoor seating. Our meals felt somewhat standard for the price, but they were delicious nonetheless.

3 years agoEverything was good, the menu is diverse, but our French culette came out well done instead of medium like we ordered. It still tasted good and wasn’t too tough so we still ate it but that was a little disappointing. Our waiter never came back to ask if we were enjoying our food either. The mashed potatoes and the sauce it came with were divine. The appetizer (Brie and mushroom bruschetta) was really good as well. The outdoor seating area was cozy and chic. Will give it another try but probably not before we try some other restaurants nearby first.

5 years agoOverall, the food was really good and the service was ok. I ordered a harvest salad, which was supposed to have red onions...it had white onions(which i don't like), so I picked them off and the salad was great. The lemon maple dressing was amazing. Creamy tomato basil soup was very good but not very hot. I loved the cheese sauce on the potatoe skins, but they were a little skimpy with the bacon. I would come back if I'm in the area.

6 years agoPleasant atmosphere, nice waitress. Ordered the Croque Madame and it was delicious. Also ordered their cornbread...it was sweet (reminded me of cake) but the combo played out well as I had both sweet and savory for brunch. Prices are a little higher than the average restaurant but I came here for a special occasion so it was a nice treat.

6 years agoFANTASTIC! Loved the atmosphere, FOOD, waitress Allysa great!! Ha! And loved the black cat logo on the glasses. Easy going place. Caprese tower great buy house salad AMAZINGLY GOID! Artisanal breads wonderful- my gosh the “cornbread “ tasted like cake and would be good for dessert, and French bread also good. I asked for salmon done with the tuna : pineapple salsa, sweet potatoes, asparagus and salmon INCREDIBLY GOOD. Husband had the Black Cat burger w egg on top, fabulous potato/ sweet potato fries. A plus!

7 years agoI stumbled upon the Black Cat Bistro just in time to enjoy their brunch. The outside seating is pleasant, being shaded and partially surrounded by trees and a variety of plants. The staff is friendly and was very attentive. The prices were reasonable, ranging from $8.00-$18.00 for most of their breakfast items. The eggs Benedict dish pictured was very well done, and I also appreciated the uniqueness of it being paired with salmon cakes. The Bloody Mary seemed very popular, so I ordered one to give it a try. I opted for the Classic Bloody Mary, and it did not disappoint. If you like yours on the spicy side (like I do) you might want to ask for it to be extra spicy. We topped the meal off with one of their cinnamon rolls, which proved to be a great decision as well. We will definitely be returning.

8 years agoPricier place in East Lansing compared to many other local restaurants, but I'd say worth it. Really enjoyed the atmosphere here. My salmon was delicious. My boyfriend said his chicken was well seasoned but dry. The bruschetta was amazing. The razzmatazz sangria was just okay. Nothing to write home about. Would definitely recommend giving this place a try at least once.
