Very disappointed with the experience that we had yesterday. There wasn’t a lot of people on a Sunday so that had to be a warning. We still tried the place out, but the food was an incredible disappointment. The calamari’s were soggy, and too salty, with a small portion compared to the picture and $14 for the price was not worth it. We later got the lobster sushi roll, which came with an oily crunchy cover on it, $14 again for not so great food. We then got a bunch of entrees, but nothing out of the ordinary for the price. Food is priced like high end seafood, but all you get is frozen tasting seafood. Will not be returning after it ruined our get together with friends. Just a warning for those wanting to try this place…Edit after owners response: my friends had already sent back the greasy fish bites, but if I would have asked the server to get rid of the things I didn’t like, she would have removed most of the dishes from the table. I guess we just don’t have the same taste. For the price that we paid our meals, it shouldn’t have been such a bad experience.

To premise this review, I will say that I worked in restaurants for over 20 years so know of what I speak. My first concern is we were warned the appetizer plates were very hot. Obviously spent too much time under a heat lamp. That worried me because the place was maybe a quarter filled. Entres came out and my Tuna was WAY over cooked. Again, it looked like it sat under the heat lamp too long. I was just going to eat it when my girlfriend cut her chicken and the middle was still raw, we sent both back Don't know if this is a result of not getting back qualified staff after COVID or not but all I can say is I won't go back. Too many other choices in the area.

5PM, we say outside. We ordered some Calamari and a beer. Calamari arrived and I ordered a second beer and had to ask for some side plates to eat the shared Calamari. The Calamari was delicious and would have it again. Got our side plates after having to eat about half of it from the shared dish. The second beer never arrived so I went inside to the not busy bar and got it in about 30 seconds. My wife order the seafood dish that had mussels, calamari, and a few other types of seafood over angel hair pasta. The description did not mention the Parmesan or blue cheese wthat was sprinkled over the dish. My wife cannot eat cheese. We had them prepare it again and it was really good. We will likely return as it is in our neighborhood, but the service needs a bit more attention. Hopefully they will update the description of the seafood dish as well.

I visited the reviews page after our botched dinner last night because I wanted to see if anyone experienced the changes that have taken place since their renovations.. My husband and I have been going to catch 23 for many many years and unfortunately, I believe they had a turnover in management or staff after the renovations took place. We had a party of 6 and everyone's food and drink orders had issues. The chefs and wait staff need improvement (too much to type but you get the point). And needless to say the pricing has gone up and several menu items have been removed. I'm so disappointed!!

Food was good, service was excellent, especially our waiter Zachary.

Very nice place. The seating outside was beautiful. The food was amazing. Brunch menu was very diverse. Service was top notch.

I have gone to Catch 23 several times over the years and have never had a bad experience. The food is consistently delicious and the servers are always incredibly friendly and hospitable. I love the recent interior design update, it just adds to the fun and modern atmosphere I have always known Catch to have. I have a reservation to eat there on Easter and I'm looking forward to it!

Nice location! Nice place

Had the ahi tuna, had to send it back and 2 nd Tina was still not good. They did comp my meal. Husbands was good. Probably will not go back.

Beautiful new renovations! Food is sometimes average but sometimes really good it depends on the day. Great cocktails and service but I do find the new prices expensive.
