    Tuna full of zens, replaced by mussels and scallops but half of mussels were raw, the scallops way too salty and the sauce was tasteless. Starter clams were really good. Such a pity that the entire seafood platter was deepfried rather than very fresh catfish just being grilled. Ambiance is depressing and too dark.

    We arrived at 7:40 for our 8:00 reservation. After only a few seconds, a warm and welcoming hostess checked us in and said she could seat us. She then proceeded to make sure we knew the specials and had the drinks we wanted. Our waitress must have been busy, because after a few minutes the hostess came back and said she liked us so much, she was going to be our server tonight. We smiled and placed our order. She was attentive during the whole meal, and the food was wonderful! A great experience, and this was our first time.

    First time here and we had high expectations, given the chef’s recent accolades. The food is good definitely, but we weren’t blown away and it is a very expensive dinner. We both had the evening specials. Quality of the seafood is fresh and high quality, preparation was just OK. Our favorite was the oyster appetizer. Service was outstanding. The interior ambiance is not that great.

    The ABSOLUTE best seafood in Wilmington! Probably the only restaurant in Wilmington that actually serves fresh seafood! Consistently delicious! There are some menu staples, but the chef continually whips up amazing culinary creations…..you can taste the expertise not experimental concoctions. Service is always warm and welcoming. The staff cares about customers and will learn your name and order.

    I will focus on Food, Ambiance and Service. Food was pretty good although my Brussel Sprouts were drenched in oil. My entree however, the angry lobster, was absolutely fantastic. Service was so-so. I noticed our usual server was not in. The server was a "rookie". She took orders for four tables right after the next. So as we were the first to place the order, it took her until after receiving the fourth table's order to bring us our beverage of choice. I've never seen this in the restaurant industry. Why should I have to wait until after you go to several tables to fulfill my order request. This unfortunately set the tone for entire evening. Lastly, ambiance was really good; that is until I asked the restaurant for their WiFi password. I. Ended WiFi to send a text message. First they told me I had to hand the server my phone and she would need to take it to the back and have the manager insert the Wi-Fi passcode. I found that outrageous. I went to the bar and asked the bartender for the wifi password, he told me they couldn't give it to me because wifi was integrated with their back office systems. I've been dining at fine dining establishments for years and this is the first time a restaurant refused to offer up a WiFi passcode. It will be some time before I return to Catch Restaurant.

    Amy, our server was terrific and attentive. Drinks were good and not overpriced. Caesar salad was great and my ahi tuna entree was delicious. My husband got ribs and shrimp. The shrimps were plump and done well. The only disappointment was the rib—way too fatty. So stick with seafood and you won’t be disappointed.

    Two booked for Tuesday evening. The outside was dark and appeared empty at 7:15. At table, after a drink at the bar, our servers advised that three of the six apps were unavailable. The menu is outdated, limited and anything but modern. Boring would be the term I felt. Three orders of raw oysters (very nice) were to be followed with two bowls of chowder. Server came out of kitchen informing that there was only one serving left. My wife took that. Smokey a bit heavy on the salt. OK for a diner chowder. Hers was followed by crabcakes at market price. Mine was a grilled lettuce salad. Nothing from the menu struck me. They were out of two of the seven or eight entrées. The grilled lettuce came out room temp. It was sent back. After tasting the crab cakes ordered by my wife I thought they would be safe. Mine came out warm and not cooked thru...rushed by kitchen I'm guessing. They were not cooked properly and a bit creamy. No one from management stopped by our table and asked how things were going. The establishment is closed on Mondays. Weekend business as it is I question the age of the goods placed on my table this Tuesday. Possibly resupplied on Wed or Thurs. $325 with tip. I don't think so. Bar service was slow. Silverware was stuck to table on arrival probably from the cleaner used. Don't go there. Eat elsewhere.
