What Carolina King likes about Black Cat Tavern:
Service was nice and staff was pleasant. I had the Black Cat Sangria which was yummy. Carrot cake for dessert was over the top delicious. My dinner was good but had too much sauce. I liked the sauce but just too much for me. Don't get me wrong, it was tasty but drowned in sauce. Ambiance was awesome. All in all, I'd like to go back. View all feedback. What 4Tommy P 1 year ago on Google doesn't like about Black Cat Tavern:
Had the clam chowder to start and the taste was perfect. They even captured that sandy flavor that really makes you feel like you’re at the beach (and you are, it’s one street over). I think the creamy texture was great as well. My entree was the shrimp scampi which was seasoned well but there was a huge error made. The tails were left of the shrimp. 0 people want this, I’ve never met anyone who wants their shrimp wi... View all feedback.

Nestled just a stone's throw from the beach, Black Cat Tavern captivates with its inviting atmosphere and delicious fare. The award-winning clam chowder steals the show, boasting a perfectly creamy texture that evokes coastal nostalgia. Diners rave about the friendly and accommodating staff, who prioritize food safety and provide attentive service. While some shrimp dishes missed the mark with tails left on, this mishap did not overshadow the overall experience. With generous portions, a diverse menu, and a lovely ambiance enhanced by live music, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable meal by the ocean.
