| Black Cat’s ebullient owner-chef Deborah Scarborough brings a sense of fun and whimsy to her cozy Cambria restaurant, but her treatment of the food is one of serious respect. Local gems such as abalone and market-fresh produce are celebrated along with Italian cheese and wild Alaskan halibut, and everything possible is made from scratch. Old favorites such as fried olives and three-cheese baked eggplant are always a treat, but other delights have included sea scallops seared in brown butter and beef filet topped with crispy fried onions. Be sure to save room for desserts like the salted caramel tart or a seasonal cheesecake. Sommelier Jason Judy has put together a good wines-by-the-glass selection, especially for a restaurant of this size, and the wine list itself cuts an intriguing swath through local, domestic and international wine regions. Although several dining options are available---from bar seating to tables---this is a tiny establishment, so reservations are recommended. |
