The best meal my husband and I have had in Dallas. We split 3 rolls and edamame between the two of us and it was plenty of food. We also loved the clarified mezcalrita, and my husband said it was the best cocktail he’s ever had. Could not recommend Catch higher!!

Fantastic as always. I am usually not a fan of big hotel restaurants. But this one has delivered every time we have visited for a decade. The antelope is the only main I’ve ever ordered. It’s actually the reason for going. But everything (we always go with friends and share) on the menu is delicious. Top that with top level service as the server somehow knowing that I have always started my meals there with a Fearings Old Fashioned!?!?!? and one has the makings of a memorable evening and dining experience.
