"Good food, small portion for the Travelzoo deal. Larger portion, but pretty expensive if you order off the menu. Like the beach view, very nice location."

"Beautiful view. Food was overall above average, though Hamachi Crudo was not. Had to remind the kind waiter that we had asked for extra lemon at our table. Had to ask for dessert menu rather than being offered. Pretty sorbet trio should have come with teaspoons for 3 ladies, not 3 extra large soupspoons.

Charging $7 for Valet for restaurant guests at these dining price points, and in a place of hospitality such as this, felt cheap."

That the menu could use A few more vegan options,
and an extended Tea list would be nice."

"Came here with a Travelzoo voucher for dinner which may have turned the waitress off, seeing as we were given subpar service for a restaurant of this stature. Food was very good but not wildly creative. Would have recommended much more had the service been better. Also, ambiance good for quiet evenings and intimate chats, but don't expect anything lively or for this to be a place to start a "night out on the town.""

"The service was horrible. The food was okay, not great, not bad. It is unfortunate because I think with the proper management the place could be a gem, given it's location and views. We used to go to the bar for drinks all the time, but this restaurant left a bad taste in my mouth...pun intended."

"If not for being understaffed, this is an wonderful place for a small group or romantic dinner. The tasting menu is not only a value, but absolutely wonderful. The wine pairing was perfect and the pours generous. I love the decor- contemporary seaside. Formal but relaxing."

"A Catch 22 - Beautiful Location, beautiful bar, but Bad Food... Bad Food... with a beautiful bar and wonderful location.Catch is a great place to come, relax and enjoy yourself for a great cocktail, but skip the food. For these prices you think they would scrap the microwave...FOOD: Over reduced sauces, very dry fish, mushy veggies, unevenly cooked rissoto, a waste of expensive cuts of meat and fish. If you want fish - gotta enjoy Michael Mina's Fish. Worse our "I don't care to wait on you" bald waiter swore - "no microwave in the kitchen" Highly doubtful, A Hotel kitchen without a microwave? I hate when waiters lie or at least tell the truth poorly and with attitude. On a positive note. The bartenders were great."
