Traditional French ishes with a modern, light touch. Beautiful on plate presentation. Quiet, attentive service with nothing overlooked. Small, attractively appointed dining room. Knowledgable wine selection, reasonably priced. Proporietor always on hand. One goes away feeling well satisfied.

This was an off night. Food was not as good as always, as for example, overcooked beef. On the weekend it is more expensive than during the week when the place is more relaxed and the food seems to be better. It is definitely pricey on the weekend.

A small but excellent place with unexcelled friendly service. The food was very well prepared, flavorful, with tableside carving of the rack of boar that I ordered. However, the menu could use some updating. While classic French, it seemed a bit "old." And the price was a bit high - not outrageous, but high.

We were disappointed with the speed of the food service. We were rushed through 6 courses
in under 1 hour!!! This was very disappointing since this was a "special event"--Valentine's Day.

We had our very own, virtually private, Valentine's Dinner a day later - why fight the crowds at Chez Catherine? - and, as usual, it was a very special occasion. The cuisine, the service, the ambiance, the ever-charming Host, Didier and his extraordinary Maitre D', Stephan, all combine to make and sustain Chez Catherine to be the culinary diamond that it is. If you want your children to be acquainted with the more civilized ways of the world, start treating them to Chez Catherine when you can.

The tasting menu was superb, from start to finish. Crab bisque was amazing. Desserts also were sublime. The service was paced just right, so we weren't rushed but also didn't drag out for hours. We can't wait to go
back and experience the regular menu. Loved the friendly staff.

I thought Chez Catherine was a great representation of French cuisine. My girlfriend and I went their and had an incredible time. Not only was the food fantastic and unique but, the servers were incredible. I believe it was the owner in particular who was so great. He really provided such a welcoming atmosphere and interacted with us in a very friendly and sincere manner. The restaurant itself inside is very pleasing to the eye and comforting. Definitely an all-around great experience.
If you love food or are just looking for a nice place to spend an evening/night I would have to say that Chez Catherine in Westfield, NJ is a fine choice to say the least.

When we left, we felt very special. Dining at Chez Catherine is like escaping to Paris for the night. The food, the atmosphere, all exquisite.
