(Crystal A. Proxmire, Sept. 10, 2023)
Clawson, MI – Three Cat’s cafe in Downtown Clawson is a particular story in our quest to attempt each restaurant in Oakland County.

Inside the partitions are adorned with artsy objects – together with old circus posters. On the tabletops had been felt bouquets positioned inside vintage curler skates. Visitors are inspired to buy the varied shows, which embody native artists and antiques, greeting playing cards, Michigan-themed objects and extra.
Selecting from their mocktails listing, I had the Strawberry Fields Forever made with lemon juice, orange juice, recent strawberries, rose water,and Coco Lopez which added a creamy coconut taste. It tasted as stunning because it seemed. My buddy had pink wine, poured table-side like we had been being fancy, in glass with the lovely Three Cat’s brand. There are a lot of cocktail and mocktail choices, in addition to specialty beer and wine selections.
We began with an appetizer of Asparagus and Lemon Pinsas, a doughy flatbread topped with asparagus, preserved lemon, cashew ricotta, microgreens, and edible flowers. Pinsas are much like pizza however the dough is hand-pressed and is made with extra flour, giving it the ethereal, chewy texture.
For the principle course, my buddy ordered Reuben which was made with pastrami that day as an alternative of corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing, on marble rye bread. I opted for Connecticut fashion lobster roll, made with tarragon butter poached lobster on a brioche roll with home pickles and chips. We cut up them in half so we might get pleasure from every. Both sandwiches had been made with care utilizing scrumptious substances.
