this building has been here since the late eighteen hundreds as a building as
once was a butcher market and the general store grocery
the monkey cat uh...
is this illusive jungle creature that we’ve searched all over the world for
finally was discovered right here in auburn at eight oh five lincoln way
but it’s uh... there is a breed of little black cat with piercing green
eyes which is our logo so it’s kind of this exotic little creature that we’ve
somewhat created but does exist
my wife is in charge of decorations and we’ve created this exotic
uh...
ctheme in here with different local artists and different animal
caricatures and photos and pictures
to kind of create this casual tropical feel here
our food style is somewhat eclectic we cross the board with a name
like monkey cat we can chase in many different directions
we have a wide range of salads for vegetarians that can either be used as a
starter or an entree
such as a chef salad or a caesar salad with grilled chicken or salmon or
prawns
we offer a wide range of vegetarian entrees a vegetable wrap
that we serve we do with cucumbers tomatoes sprouts we could do them all so
with beef with chicken all of our dishes are made to order so if there are
dietary requirements anything can be created on spot
our seared ahi is served over fresh arugula that we’ve peppered the outside
crusted served medium rare with a wasabi vinaigrette

flavors
