If you're wondering why Black Cat Bistro is closing, you're not the only one. So I went in search of that answer as well.

Why is Black Cat Bistro Closing?

Black Cat Bistro is closing because the owners want to take that space in a new direction. And that direction would be a Mexican eatery, called Los Tres Mex Grill.

So while one restaurant may be closing, another is opening in its stead. Goodbye, Black Cat Bistro.
