Review summary

Catch is a culinary gem in Carmel with "excellent food and service." Guests praise the "delicious" seafood dishes, particularly the halibut and lobster risotto. The atmosphere is enhanced by a "strolling guitarist" and complimentary champagne and caviar. While some find the music too loud, the "friendly and efficient" staff ensure a memorable dining experience.

    I had the Sand Dabs and the fish was good. The mashed potatoes were cold and tasted like they were Instant potatoes. The vegetables were good but also cold. My husband had the Halibut, again the same story, fish was good sides were cold. They start with a lovely caviar and champagne taster which was nice and their bread and oil very tasty. The server was very good and you got a lot of attention.

    The food overall was outstanding, but the service was ok at best. The waiters rarely checked on us, and the entire meal took over an hour despite us only ordering two appetizers, a soup, and two main dishes. We even needed to send the soup back because it came to us lukewarm. There was also someone who seemed like management who was sitting and chatting with her friends at a table for most of our visit.

    Today we ordered Dungeness crab salad and open faced lobster sandwich with side salad instead of fries and enjoyed our meal. The servers are always friendly and efficient. Catch is one of our favorite places to eat at while visiting Carmel by the sea, but the music is awful! it does not fit the place. It sounds like we're at a disco bar with loud pounding obnoxious electronic music, certainly not what one would expect in an expensive restaurant where we would prefer to relax and enjoy our food. Other than that it really is a lovely place.

    Beautiful interior. Our fish tacos were excellent! For once a restaurant that has enough wait staff, all of whom seemed interested in ensuring you had a great experience.

    The service was excellent, but I felt like our seafood dishes were too rich. Kind of heavy cream sauce and the potatoes were sort of hard and cold. Caesar salad, good and the champagne caviar before dinner was excellent

    Came as a recommendation from a friend. The food was flavorful and well presented an extensive menu. A little glasses of sparkling wine, and caviar. Was just a lovely start to the meal. A basket of warm bread was served with out asking! . We will be going there again. The waiter was excellent answered all our questions. Thank you.
