Found out about this place from Mark Wiens YouTube and going there for the first time and for the wife’s 40th birthday and we love it! The shrimp and grits is the best I’ve ever had and the grouper was awesome! The coconut cake slice sealed it! The service was very good and we will be coming back every time we’re headed this way!

First rate birthday dinner at Catch! After interesting cocktails and tasty Brussel sprouts roasted to perfection, I had the shrimp and grits, and my date (for the 39th birthday in a row) had the grouper. We could not have been more pleased... but we did still manage to share a piece of chocolate cake. You know, because birthdays 🎂 The service was great -- casual but attentive. We will definitely be back

Took my family out for my husband's birthday dinner. We enjoyed every dish. Shrimp and grits were a little salty but still excellent with the addition of mushrooms. Basil oil and bread to start were a favorite. Pinky and the brain cocktail with smoked salt was a fun and delicious alternative to a margarita. Staff were attentive and friendly. Will definitely return.

Catch was the best restaurant choice we could have made during our visit to Wilmington! The service was great, 10/10, but the food and drinks stole the show. For drinks, we both ordered their “Pinky in the Brain.” Tequila, plum honey purée, lemons, pink peppercorns, and smoked salt. Great presentation and a wonderful pairing of flavors. 10/10. Food-wise, we ordered their swordfish special and their scallops entree. The swordfish was flavorful and its pairings were well thought out, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t writing this review because of their scallops. Words can not do these scallops justice. We’re looking for excuses to drive the 4 hours back to Wilmington just to order their scallops. Like scallops? Great! Don’t like scallops? You will after having these! Never had a scallop? Order Catch’s! Just know you’ll be chasing the high that each bite of Catch’s scallops give with every scallop you eat in the future. Fresh, bright, morsels of pure perfection. Thank you Catch for one of the best dining experiences we’ve had.

One waitress, missed orders, multiple food selections not available, including beers and wine. The Menu which was paper had some prices labeled market, some priced and some with no price indication at all. No idea why no reprinted menus? The atmosphere was wood tables chairs. No real motif, prices are on the higher end which seafood can be. We left paying an additional 3% connivence fee + 20% tip. To be nice.

The food was really good. However, customer service experience was not. I ordered a half dozen raw oysters and there was a live pea crab in one of them. Now I likely wouldn’t have been so traumatized by this had I not almost swallowed it. It was in my mouth, and I took it out thinking it was a piece of oyster shell. This was the 3rd one, of 6 & I was so devastated I sent them back & asked for them to be taken off my tab. Unfortunately, the manager couldn’t accommodate my request and only offered to take off half, after I asked a 2nd time. I was told this happening to me should be viewed as good luck, vs any recognition for how distraught I really was by this. Really disappointed in the lack of care and empathy showed towards this experience.

We have been trying to get a reservation for a while, but it was worth the wait. Overall, everything was very good to excellent. The food was off the chart tasty and well prepared. A touch on the pricey side, but not overly. One of the specials, Jerk Octopus was a large portion and amazing. We will be back and you should try it for sure We say the owner on a You Tube video which made us want to try it. He did give my wife the courtesy of speaking with her after our meal, even though they were busy; well done!

This was one of the worst dinners I have ever had. The salad had not been cleaned properly, had to send it back. The entree was so salty it was inedible. The restaurants tables and floors were sticky. I think they have a sewage problem in the back because by the bathrooms smelled disgusting. It was also very expensive!
