    It was just ok. Last two times there we get a crappy table and this time was the same… small little table that was had to accommodate our dishes and wine. The services was just ok. And, my food was cold. Tasty but cold! I used to really look forward to go to catch 35. Now not to excited!!

    Mahi Mahi was not good. Dry. Lobster bisque was lobster light and no floating croutons. Whitefish the best entre. Burger above average. Drinks stupidly expensive for short pour. Service helped overcome the shortcomings. Probably our last time.

    Our meal was wonderful. The server was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered great suggestions. He was very attentive at first, but not so much after the entrees came out. He seemed to have a lot of tables. We didn't want dessert, but would have had coffee...however he did a "drop and run" with the check and we didn't get to ask. Overall, though, we had a great dinner and it didn't ruin our experience.

    Five of us for a business dinner. Seated immediately on arrival, with no fuss when we arrived with one less than on the reservation. Great service. I thoroughly enjoyed the perfectly prepared, generous portion of cedar plank salmon and Brussels sprouts. Every one else enjoyed their dinners. One of my go to restaurants when visiting the loop in Chicago.

    I haven’t been to this restaurant in a long time but it will be the last time I dine here, nor will I understand why there are so many good reviews. The food was sub par at best with poor presentation. If the best thing on your plate was Brussel sprouts, that says more than it doesn’t. The demo-glaze on the ribeye was more like a gravy. I’m sorry to have paid over $300 for the quality of meal we had, especially in an area where there are other high quality options. It was my mother’s birthday but I’m embarrassed to have brought her there.

    The two of us enjoyed three appetizers, a very large, seafood Cobb salad, and a molten lava cake for dessert, along with glasses of wine. All of the food was delicious. This included Maryland crabcakes, scallops, and tuna appetizers. Our server, karen, is knowledgeable, helpful, And has a great personality. The salad included shrimp, scallops, and crab, along with other additions. We were going to a jazz concert at symphony, center, and karen had our food arriving so that we had plenty of time to walk down Michigan Avenue before the concert.

Carlos is an impeccable server: Knows his stuff and is very professional. Michael the manager runs a great ship and the overall experience flawless!

    My daughter and I had dinner before a show at the Chicago Theater. Everything - from the feel, to the food, service and the music - was simply fabulous! We had a wonderful waiter who made excellent recommendations when asked and left us to talk when we needed more time. Would highly recommend Catch 35!

    This was our second time here from out of town. Just superb. Our waiter Carlos made the whole meal memorable. We paired our meals (two of us got the sea bass-delicious) with a bottle of Saldo (an old vine Zinfandel ). Outstanding.

    Lunch before the theater. As always, food was good and wait staff attentive. My eating partner forgot to tell them to leave the bleu cheese off her salad. When the waitress noticed, she asked what the problem was. My friend said it was her fault for not telling them, but the plate was taken back to the kitchen & a new one brought to her. That was above & beyond. Thanks!

    The food at this place was really good as I had the mix grill that contained a variety of seafood items and my wife had the sea bass. The service provided was great and the food portion size were just right. The dessert we had was also good. The price for our meal was reasonable compared to other seafood establishments in the area.
