Excellent food. Not very crowded on a Saturday night. Happy hour prices are too confusing. Not even the staff can communicate them. But prices are still good but going up next week. Live music makes it a great place.
The question was "How was Fresh Catch?"The answer is: disappointing. I have been to Fresh Catch many times and have found it to be good. This last experience was merely satisfactory. Service was sketchy with wrong order being delivered. When companion asked me about my meal my answer was "nothing to write home about." Companion found her fish to be bland. Sorry. I normally don't write reviews unless they are good.
Food and service is spot on. Seasoning and portion we're great. It's a nice place with reasonable prices. Houses wines are inexpensive and staff is knowledgeable and friendly.
Place is packed and they close at 8:00???? Harold from K C & the sunshine band plays here and the music is fun and everyone loves to dance to Harold’s music , but close at 8:00? What are the owners smoking ? Stay open until 10, tips would be great for the staff.
We finally decided to try Fresh Catch & were NOT disappointed. We had the Golden Tile Fish & Mutton Snapper, both grilled. As well as Bahamian Conch chowder, for an appetizer. Not only did the food live up to our expectations, the service was fantastic ! I believe our server's name was Tiffany.We will definitely be going back !!!
Friendly service all around from hostess to waitress. The reason for the 3 stars was the food. Wings were dry, calamari was chewy, and the tuna nachos didn’t taste fresh. It was a busy afternoon maybe that helped in the subpar food however we most likely won’t return.
This restaurant has always been very helpful; however, last night was terrible. I called ahead at 4:30 and told them there would be 15 at 5:30. They said they don't take reservations. Call back at 5. Okay, I did. When we got there, they wouldn't seat us until half of us were present. I finally got 7 people. Sat down, and they wouldn't take our drink orders until all 15 people were there. The waitress was snippy. They must have new rules. Not conducive to large tables. I have to say the waitress got better as time went on. It's not her fault. She was trying to stick to the rules. The owners need to review those rules. We will not gather there again. The food was very good!
We stopped in at 330 pm this afternoon for a early dinner, and really wanted Seafood. He ordered the Clam dinner and I had the Fish sandwich dinner. The Clams were rubbery and both clams and fish were fried in old oil and they were dark looking and tasted horrible. The tarter sauce is homemade and tasted as such. Was not a fan. Our waitress spent her time chatting up the big party and forgot about her other tables. Not going back.
Unfortunately, the cook didn't know how to cook cracked conch. He had a nice filet of conch but it wasn't properly marinated or pounded out to break down the toughness of the conch. He then cut it up into small pieces, over breaded it and then fried it for too long in old oil. All I can taste now is old oil and I feel sick to my stomach. I am a culinary trained chef, lived in the Bahamas for several years and that was the worse conch I ever had.
After a morning at the Stuart Downtown Art Festival we decided to have lunch at Fresh Catch. We have passed this place many times and talked about trying it out so glad we finally did. Sat at the bar when we arrived waiting on a friend and we were cheerfully greeted by Megan who was behind the bar. Megan was awesome, great drinks and knowledgeable about the menu she shared some details about the fresh fish today and the fact that you can buy fish to take home like a seafood market. We had a mussels appetizer which was outstanding. Fresh and delicious in a white wine garlic sauce. Our friend arrived and we moved to a table for lunch. I had the wedge salad with blackened Cobia, my wife had the charred romaine with blackened Golden Tile Fish and our friend had the fish and chips. Everything was amazing, fresh and cooked perfectly. We also bought a couple of pounds of the Golden Tile fish to bring home. This place is awesome and we will definitely be back soon. Thanks Megan for a great experience hope to see you again soon.
