    My spouse and I went to Catalyst for our 21st wedding anniversary dinner. We sat on the patio. The meal quality and flavor was exceptional. The waitstaff were all very friendly and helpful. The staff surprised us after the meal with a very kind dessert plate and well wishes for our anniversary. Even our waitress who's shift ended before we left stopped on her way out, after she was off duty, and made a point to wish us a happy anniversary. Exceptional and personalized customer care and service. It was a terrific special dinner and the staff made it so much more special. What a wonderful bright spot of care and human decency in a time when so many things are working to destroy people's lives and relationships. Thank you Catalyst!!! We will definitely come back. We encourage others who want special meals and incredible attention to details to check out this restaurant and all it has to offer for special nights and large celebrations.
