    Went here for my husband’s birthday. We were super early birds so the place was very quiet but would expect it gets quite loud and entertaining later in the evening that we just missed. We sat at the bar and had great service. Food & drinks were good, we shared the Caesar salad, ribeye, and 2 sides. Our favorite was the corn brûlée! Tried the Apple pie Mac & cheese but it wasn’t our favorite - a bit bland and not served very hot. The staff surprised my husband at the end of dinner with a very fun sparkler candelabra and dessert plus a card and gift card which was fantastic and appreciated! In all, we would definitely go back, perhaps when there are a few more people there. :)

    Despite living in the area for years, this was our first experience, and we walked away, so impressed. The service was attentive, friendly, genuine, and at the same time, not at all overbearing. The food was amazing and given the diversity of food preferences within our party all preferences were Matt and exceeded. We will be back.

    we love going to Catch as a family and ordering family style for the table. There are so many great things to experience there. The Wagyu Gyoza appetizers was a new twist we added this time, and they were excellent. The Wagyu Fried Rice is always great as is the sushi and the steaks. Top notch on everything.

    We were presently surprised with our choice for restaurant week. The atmosphere and the restaurant is warm and friendly. Our hostess was knowledgeable, prompt, and very personable. Our waiter was outstanding, he was always available when we wanted anything, and did not rush everything. He had great recommendations, both cocktails, and the food menu. Everything was as close to perfect as it could be. We highly recommend this restaurant. This comes from a family of foodies.
