    Intimate atmosphere with unique flavors. I was happily surprised with the portions. Bartender/server was exceptional. Had the shrimp rice cake, tuna stracciatella, and the black bass with garlic noodles. Tuna and the noodles were the stars of the night. Make reservations and enjoy the flavors.

    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!!

    If you are looking for dining mixed with an experience, this is the place. I have been going to the Fort Worth location for years. This one is ever bit as good and quaint. I was on a dad-daughter date and our night was perfect. Tony and his staff are top notch. Very attentive and from the cheese fondue, salads, assortment of protein and finish with the chocolate fondue it was all delicious.
