Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of The Hungry Cat from around the web.
"If a food is going to initiate my self-loathing it could at least have the common courtesy to taste good. These fries tasted great. They were crispy without being crunchy; flavorful without being flavored. They were exactly what fries are supposed to be: ..."
"The taste, briny and sweet with a distinct mineral edge, reminds me of the first time I ever tasted a raw clam. A friend had invited me for dinner and three of us, all women, squeezed into her tiny kitchen in Paris...."
"Cocktail Review: The Hungry Cat"s Sourpuss..."
"This was my first time here and the experience was great. I can�t wait to see what they do with the new space and plan to return soon after they re-open...."
"As the few tables inside were booked up on Saturday night (I spied famous pastry chef Lindsey Shere's name on the list) , we scored a table on the patio. The patio is perfectly pleasant, if you don't mind the view of the back door of Borders, but I'm afra..."
"Besides the fantastic seafood, the Cat has a creative drink menu, mostly fresh fruit juice and relatively unknown (at least to me), high-end liquor...."
"Service at The Hungry Cat over the years has been fine. The various servers I've encountered have generally been casual, but attentive to our needs...."
"The meat was incredibly juicy and certainly high quality. The fries that came with the burger were also plentiful and above average...."
"From my lobster roll to her oyster po’ boy (and blueberry muffins with whipped cream and Meyer lemon curd), it was the kind of meal LA-haters claim you can’t get here. Smart, low on pretension, high on flavor...."
"I didn't get an egg on it, which might render my opinion obsolete but it's a damn good burger. Juicy, rich, almost too big too eat... all wonderful attributes for a burger...."
"However, the menu is almost all seafood; unless you're a very fortunate parent, that won't work for you. But in the future, it's worth finding a sitter...."
"It was grilled to perfection and didn't even taste like fish (if that's any consolation to seafood haters) It was just moist and perfect. More than that, it sat on a bed of black rice grits which were AMAZING...."
"The grilled corn bread is wonderful on its own or soaked with the soup, and I actually liked that there were pieces of chile pepper embedded within for an ever-so-slight hint of heat...."
"Dinner and a movie: It's the oldest date in the book for a reason. Since parking is a hassle we don't like to navigate more than once per evening, we prefer to pair a flick with a meal that's within walking distance...."
"Bourbon tangerine smash cocktails, Fanny Bay oysters on the half shell perfect. Fresh sea urchin on special, still in the shell, first time scooping it out ourselves...."
"The aioli is tart, sharp and creamy and the celery root slaw works to fade the tang. I can imagine appreciating the slaw more if it did not have to perform as an understudy to such a scene-stealing aioli...."
"Why are people so inclined to either turn up their noses at or cower in fear of the juniper berry? A martini is made with gin, and gin has more character, and it gives you more character too, and it doesn"t give you a worse hangover, so get a life willy..."
"The Hungry Cat in Hollywood has always been a great spot to sidle up to the bar and order a plate full of oysters and a delicious specialty cocktail (and the restaurant's signature blue cheese burger & fries, if you're really hungry)...."
"Next week (April 6), the Hungry Cat kicks off its Monday Night Oyster Roasts, with Low Country roasted oysters (by the dozen or half-dozen), sausages, pork belly and Hungry Cat potato salad. There will be the requisite beer and cocktail specials...."
"A few blocks down, in a corner of the Roosevelt Hotel that you could swear used to be home to a dry cleaner or something, 25 Degrees is the latest restaurant project from the O. -based team that brought us Dakota, Whist and Meson G � a borde..."
"I ordered a Peach Pit with muddled peaches, rye, vanilla infused simple syrup, and egg white. The Hungry Cat will always be one of my favorite spots for a solid cocktail...."
"Daily Gluttony was the first to start flipping the crabs over to check the sex...."
"Instead they have the Smoked Haddock Chowder with Leeks and Yukon Gold Potatoes. It's very flavorful, though the smoked fish get a bit too salty (no bread to go with)...."
"When you walk into The Hungry Cat, you pass the bandana-clad owner/chef David Lentz behind the horseshoe-shaped bar and wonder just how far back the contemporary space extends under it's high industrial roof. The angled arrangement of dark cherry wood cha..."
"Their crab cakes tend to be very light on the breading, allowing the natural creaminess of the crab to be a primary textur..."
"I'm looking foward to stumbling around with a craving for crab legs some late night so I can take advantage of the new raw bar at The Hungry Cat, but one of my all time favorite drunk foods is a Scotch Egg...."
"I knew that Hungry Cat would ace all of the seafood dishes, but actually one of the surprising stars of the meal was the salad of heirloom tomatoes. Served as a side dish, it provided just enough sweetness and acidity to help cut through the massive amoun..."
"If you are making a night of it in Hollywood, definitely eat here. There’s more substance at Hungry Cat than most other new Hollywood eateries..."
