Blue Cat Cafe & Wine Bar

Beautiful ambience - wonderful South American Malbec, roasted beets, sockeye salmon over tomatoes & polenta coupled with friendly professional wait service make Blue Cat a keeper.

A quiet Sunday night, we had the filet and it was perfect. The flour less chocolate cake was amazing. Best meal we've had in years. Will come back next time we are in town.

Boyfriend and I stopped in here for a quiet drink on a Saturday night while visiting Burlington from Philly.   Walked in, weren't greeted by anyone, sat ourselves at the left side of the bar, ordered a round of drinks.

From where I was sitting at the bar (the far left seat), I had a lovely view of the underside of the bar across from me, which was stuffed with tons of papers and clutter.  Also, there were a bunch of dishes stacked up where my left arm would have liked to rest on the bar - Good thing I was with my boyfriend, so I could cozy over next to him instead of hanging out with the dishes.
The (manager? owner?) was having a conversation with some patrons seated at the bar - I'm not sure what he was talking about, but "what if you found out you're actually retarded?!" came out of his mouth more than once.  I'm assuming he knew these patrons.  They didn't seem offended, but weren't really laughing.  It seemed inappropriate, given the size of the restaurant vs. the volume of his voice.  

Nobody really bothered to be friendly with us or check on us until my boyfriend caught the attention of one of the bartenders to get our tab.
Meh.  I've definitely experienced better.
