Catch - (Near Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA)

5 /5 Chethan B: Exceptional experience! We were welcomed with champagne, caviar, and warm bread. The crab cake, prawn spaghetti, and Caramel Sunset were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. A perfect blend of taste and elegance. Staff were very good and helpful—great service all around. Highly recommended!

5 /5 Frank G: I was on vacation and just passing through town. It was around 8:00 p.m. Most businesses appeared to be closed by then, and the town itself felt very quiet, with only a few people outdoors. Catch, however, was open until 10:00 p.m. and pleasantly uncrowded. The guests inside looked comfortable, cheerful, and relaxed. The lighting was soft and romantic—not too bright—and I absolutely loved the jellyfish lamps. The background music was calming and at a perfect volume, allowing for easy, comfortable conversation. The waiter was friendly and attentive, engaging warmly with guests and making everyone feel welcome. Shortly after I was seated, I was pleasantly surprised with complimentary bread paired with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, along with champagne and caviar. I had never tried caviar before, and it was much better than I expected. A few minutes later, a gentleman came out and played a couple of songs on the guitar before leaving. The music sounded foreign—possibly Spanish—and added a romantic touch to the evening. I ordered the salmon, which was cooked perfectly. Overall, it was a truly enjoyable dining experience. Catch is a beautiful and romantic restaurant, and I highly recommend giving it a try.

5 /5 No Name: Good food, nice atmosphere, polite and excellent services. We enjoyed everything we ordered: clamchowder and chicken soup, fish and chips, grilled fish, desert. We also got complimentary sparkling wine and spoon of a black caviar. Good for a romantic date. Beautiful restaurant.

5 /5 Chet Davis: Driving down 17 Mile Drive from Pacific Grove we knew friends are frequent visitors of Carmel. We messaged and asked them for a lunch recommendation and we received several. But they shared the best seafood can be found at Catch. Thats where we drove to. We were promptly seated in the dining room which had a nice ambiance. Right away we were served complimentary small portion of Caviar and a very small glass of Champagne - an unexpected but appreciated way to start the meal. After reviewing the menu I ordered their local specialty Monterey Bay Sand Dabs while my wife ordered their Grilled Salmon. We drank our beverages (I had an Italian Pilsner and my wife a French Chardonnay). After an appropriate time our lunch arrived. We both really enjoyed our meals - the Sand Dabs were tender, flaky and flavored with a creamy piccata sauce and served with a side of rice pilaf and sautéed vegetables. My wifes Salmon was served with a Saffron cream sauce and baked potato au gratin. The service was very attentive and friendly. We have no reservation recommending Catch in Carmel to any friend. We look forward to returning in the future.

5 /5 Nasir Mohammedi: You walk into a very pleasant elegant atmosphere with calming music. We were treated with champagne and caviar by Shariff as we pursued the menus. As we discussed the menu you start to notice the Mediterranean themes wall frescoes and the unique jellyfish lamps that caught out eye as we walked in. They are a good kids menu. Wife ordered sand dabs, I ordered linguine with shrimp which was modified by the chef to accomodate my onion and garlic allergy. The bread load had a nice flaky crust and spongy center that melted in my mouth and paired well with the balsamic vinegar/olive oil. The sand dabs were cooked to the perfect temperature and had a perfect texture. Flavor was amazing when salted to taste. The linguine with shrimp was buttery and filling, and after the freshly ground pepper and salting to taste was very satisfying.
