About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Bosscat Kitchen & Libations perfectly meshes upscale and casual dining with an expansive whiskey selection and unique offering of American comfort food. It offers high energy, open spaced concepts to promote a lively dining experience. With the rustic industrial aesthetic, brick metal and barrels are prevalent in the space. One of its most coveted attractions is the famous whiskey room, that houses hundreds of whiskies from several countries. From high end whiskies like Pappy Van Winkle, to a shot of Jameson with a Coors Light, there is something here for everyone's taste; and Bosscat prides itself on being this type of environment. Each season new flavors and recipes are brought into the kitchen. The culture and staff are encouraged to foster the fun and unique dining experience they so strongly emulate. Bosscat is open all week for lunch and dinner. Happy hour is available on weekdays, and a fun, boozy brunch menu is available on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Not a good experience the food quality was really bad, we ordered artichoke spinach egg roll that wasn’t tasty, the salad dressing wasn’t enough and needed salt, we also ordered chicken that didn’t taste good and was too dry, the sauce for it didn’t have any taste except just being spicy. We had to send back the short ribs because it was too spicy and ordered skirt steak that wasn’t tasty hard to chew! This place was also too noisy and when we asked if the could lower the volume, we were told no. Our server was nice though

    Service was great, we got there early and ate Happy Hour, appetizers and ordered off the regular menu. Food was delicious. They accommodated our large group in the patio on a weekend and I was very grateful because I had made two reservations thinking we would have to split up. Leah had called the the night before to confirm my reservations. Since we were coming in early, she made an exception and had our table together together in the patio and they were ready upon our arrival. Everyone enjoyed their well drinks and food! We’ll definitely be back!

    Great service, great manhatten. The shaved pork sandwich was amazing. The banana pudding was amazing. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the burger my son ordered was very plain and tasteless. It was solid ingredients with no flavor. I tasted it and said to send it back, but he was too emabrrased. Huge miss on the burger.

    We had a reservation, once we got there it took 5 minutes to get sit, then we sat at our table for 15 minutes. Had to end up asking the hostess to have someone come serve us.
