    Very nice meal on a quiet, mid-May Thursday evening. Sat by the open window, which was nice. Food was quite good - very fresh, full of taste, generous portions, and nicely presented. Service was outstanding - just the right amount of interaction. The guitar player was nice ... not too obtrusive nor loud during our visit. Overall, we'd dine here again when back in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

    This place has a perfect blend of impeccable service, delicious food and adorable ambiance. We were greeted by a woman a few minutes before our reservation time with the friendliest and warmest smile. The extensive menu took me awhile to decide but thanks to Mina, our server, we ended up with the crab cakes for the appetizer. What a treat! They came with a corn relish and red drops ..a very small pepper from Lebanon which added just the perfect amount of crunch and tanginess. The halibut I had was perfectly cooked and the clam chowder/crab louie my husband had looked quite tasty. I’m not sure what stood out to me more - Mina’s attention to his perfectly timed service, or the quality of our dinner. Either way, this is a stop we will make again.

    I had the Sand Dabs and the fish was good. The mashed potatoes were cold and tasted like they were Instant potatoes. The vegetables were good but also cold. My husband had the Halibut, again the same story, fish was good sides were cold. They start with a lovely caviar and champagne taster which was nice and their bread and oil very tasty. The server was very good and you got a lot of attention.

    The food overall was outstanding, but the service was ok at best. The waiters rarely checked on us, and the entire meal took over an hour despite us only ordering two appetizers, a soup, and two main dishes. We even needed to send the soup back because it came to us lukewarm. There was also someone who seemed like management who was sitting and chatting with her friends at a table for most of our visit.

    Today we ordered Dungeness crab salad and open faced lobster sandwich with side salad instead of fries and enjoyed our meal. The servers are always friendly and efficient. Catch is one of our favorite places to eat at while visiting Carmel by the sea, but the music is awful! it does not fit the place. It sounds like we're at a disco bar with loud pounding obnoxious electronic music, certainly not what one would expect in an expensive restaurant where we would prefer to relax and enjoy our food. Other than that it really is a lovely place.
