A Silver Lake mainstay inspired by the posh American tavern, The Black Cat is complete with lofty decorative ceilings, handsome paneled walls, and elegant brass chandeliers floating above a well-worn dark wood bar. Never straying too far from the classics, the food and drinks are familiar enough to get your attention, yet innovative enough to keep you coming back. Like any self-respecting old-school tavern, there is a burger, and then there are house-made pastas, chicken, seafood, and steak. Cocktails are balanced and well-crafted, but if you prefer something a little more bespoke, don't hesitate to ask.
