    Went here for the first time after hearing lots of good things. Turns out that the hype was real! Went on Valentine’s Day, so we couldn’t enjoy the regular menu, but it was all still fantastic. The filet was tender and nothing we had was overseasoned, letting simple flavors of ingredients breathe. Service was outstanding and atmosphere is great.

    Our experience, at Three Cats, was barely short of perfection. I particularly would point out the Mushroom Bisque and the Champagne Chicken, but everything on their menu was delicious. The ONLY criticism I had was the limited wine list offering. But the Sauvignon Blanc was as superb as the meal. The service was excellent, as well. A hostess even offered to take a Valentines photo for the couple seated next to us. All and all, a delightful experience!

    Everything was awesome, the food the service and the nice music in the background. You could talk to your friends without yelling across the table. I will for sure be back!

    We just enjoyed the best pre Valentine’s Day together. Three Cats in downtown Clawson is consistently amazing.But the vibe is even better.Today we had the pleasure of meeting the owners Keara and her fabulous mother.I felt like I was meeting my people!It’s not often that often that life makes you feel like it all makes sense. But today it did. If you haven’t been to 3 cats you must go. Its eclectic ambiance is just what we needed.
