The Classic Cat - West Hollywood

The dinner options were very limited. While their website is impressive and the food photos look appealing, we drove an hour and 42 minutes to get there only to discover that they had completely revamped the menu. Although we saw plenty of birthday photos online and on Instagram, the actual birthday presentation did not match what was shown. We ended up leaving feeling hungry and disappointed.

Be prepared to spend over $250 for dinner for two, including two drinks each. The food was flavorful; we enjoyed zucchini fries, shrimp cocktail, scallops, and sea bass. Most portions were generous, but the sea bass was quite small, totaling about 5 ounces divided across two sticks. The presentation was impressive, enhanced with dry ice and smoke, but the drinks were overpriced.

One of my friends is vegan and had been looking forward to the vegan rolls that were listed on their online menu. However, the waitress told us that they no longer offered that item as it was part of the old menu. This was quite disappointing for my vegan friend. I also mentioned to the waitress that it was my birthday and that I wanted dessert with sparklers. When she finally brought out the dessert, she mistakenly set it down in front of the friend sitting across the table instead of me and walked away before I could remind her that it was intended for me. She didn’t even acknowledge it was for a friend, despite me stating it was for my birthday from the start. Overall, this was quite disappointing, and the service could certainly have been better. Unfortunately, I would probably only consider coming back for drinks at the bar, if at all.

I came here for my birthday towards the end of September. Reservations were for 930pm. The waitress told us as soon as we got comfortable and started looking at the menu that the kitchen is closing soon at 10:15pm. Not sure why she needed to tell us that as soon as we sat but ok. My friend is vegan and was expecting the vegan rolls that was listed on their menu online. The waitress says oh that's the old menu, we don't have that anymore. That was disappointing, especially for my vegan friend. I told the waitress it's my bday and want dessert with the sparklers. She comes and brings it to my other friend sitting on the other side of the table. And then just walked away before I could remind her that it was for ME. Never even said it was for a friend. I said it was for me from the beginning. Honestly that was really disappointing. Service could have been better all around. Probably would only go for drinks at the bar unfortunately if that.

Great ambience and great service!The waitress was super nice and attentive and even came out with sparkles when we ordered the bottle!Highly recommend if you’re coming with a group for your birthday!
