Black Cat - Isle of Wight

On Friday night, a group of 6 of us visited this restaurant and we were impressed with everything. The service was excellent and the food was top-notch. I highly recommend paying a visit to this restaurant.

We arrived at 6:30 without a reservation and were asked if we were locals, to which we replied no. We were informed that the restaurant was fully booked for locals and advised to come back another time. Disappointed, we decided to try Mukda Thai Restaurant on the high street. We received a warm welcome and enjoyed delicious food. Later that evening, we passed by The Black Cat and noticed that it wasn't fully booked; it seemed they simply did not want us there.

My family and I dined at this restaurant last week and had a great experience. The waiter was a polite, helpful, and efficient young man. The menu offers a wide variety of choices and the food was delicious, although not the absolute best I've ever had. The prices were reasonable and overall it was a satisfying meal. If you find yourself in Shanklin, I recommend giving this restaurant a try.

We went to the Black Cat on a Tuesday evening and while the food was very good the service was just odd. We asked for some prawn crackers to nibble on whilst looking at the menu and we were told that we were not allowed prawn crackers until we had ordered just in case we made the menus greasy (the menus are laminated) found this to be strange. When placing our order we asked the young lady a question about one of the dishes and she simply said I don’t know I don’t eat the food. Apart from having our food placed in front of us we didn’t see any waiting staff again until it was time to pay the bill, as I said before all the food was really good just an odd mix with the service

Highly recommend! Excellent Thai food and the service was 10/10! Really friendly staff. Look forward to visiting again.
