My wife and I come here often. Our daughter was a server here for a short time, so we’ve become familiar with the staff. The recognize us every time and treat us with some extra attention — even the newly hired staff who never worked with our daughter.
We always enjoy eating at the Blue Cat; it’s one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Our favorite entrees are the Eggplant Parmesan and the Chicken Chèvre. I think we’ve tried just about everything on the regular menu, and some of the specials; I don’t think we’ve ever been disappointed in a meal. No matter what you choose, it will be a win.

This is my favorite local «go to» place for a well prepared meal, fair prices, atmosphere and decent service. Occasionally it’s been a bit slow, but worth the wait. I have tried many of the entrees and there are no losers. Local in season produce is usually used. Desserts are awesome. There are really 2 dining experiences here: the pizza/​deli in the front, or the sit down restaurant in the back. If I am too full for dessert or want an economic treat, the chocolate/​peanut butter bar cookies at the deli are a fabulous «to go» dessert to grab on the way out. I feel fortunate to live close to this place… advantages of a college town!

The friends who were with us on our prior visit, tried the Blue Cat Bistro again this year, and found that the service was still horrible, but the food was very good. I guess some things will never change. We might try it out again if we’re in the area, and put up with the horrible service and enjoy the only thing which is good about this place — the food.

Pretty stylish and classy, but not dressy or over priced. Not just pizza, in fact I recommend you try an entrée. Attached to a take out deli that’s decent.

I had their famous Lemon Chicken, and I liked it quite a bit. I thought the sauce was especially flavorful, with a bit of sweet lemon, but overall very creamy and savory. The free bread they had were pretty tasty as well. It’s a bit confusing to find, as it’s somewhat behind the pizza place/​deli, but part of the same building. I loved that they offer local beers, and the dining room is such a deep, lovely blue.

A nice find in an area not known for its cuisine. Menu includes many local foods and a small, but quality selection of microbrews on tap. Everything was fresh and delicious. Portion size was just right. Service was attentive and friendly. I will definitely be back.

Cute little dining room. The food was very good. Started with a warm basket of bread. We had the Mediterranean pasta, the bourbon wings and the crispy goat cheese salad. All were delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. Will definitely eat here again.

Not a fan of this place. The food is typical American but lacks any unique flavor. The staff is a typical restaurant staff. I cant praise this place with much good but I can’t say it is bad.

We went there last winter and I was cranky and starving. What a treat to find a cozy little spot with a simple, fairly priced
menu. Relax, have a glass of wine and look up at the ceiling.

I spend a good bit of time in Castleton during the summers, and I finally made it to the Blue Cat Bistro over 4th of July weekend. What a pleasant surprise this place was. The service was friendly, if a bit nervous. The menu is pretty straightforward and includes a number of Italian selections and burgers. I enjoyed the Mediterranean pasta entrée. This was a perfect portion size of well-​cooked linguine topped with mushrooms, onions, spinach, and sun dried tomatoes. Really tasty. I was also happy to see Switchback, a Burlington-​brewed beer, on tap. That’s always a treat for me. The others in my party ordered burgers and everyone enjoyed them. Finally, the space itself in the Blue Cat is beautiful. The ceiling is made to look like a planetarium or night sky, and is really unusual and interesting. The décor was very tasteful and the small bar area was really cute and inviting. I will definitely visit the Blue Cat again in the future.

This restaurant has a very nice dining room with an amazing ceiling. The food is pretty good, but there is nothing organc on the menu. They seem to keep odd hours — I’ve shown up and found them closed — so it’s best to call before you go. Gay friendly.
