    Although the experience and cuisine is worthy of any special occasion. The food is superb and prepared well. The selections are imaginative and prepared well. At times the noise level, due to circumstances beyond their control, can be unpleasant. This time the attention to detail was not as refined nor attentive as in past visits. Stephane was charming and took great care as usual, however his 'second' did not live up to typical standards. This is certainly not the norm.

    Outstanding Valentine’s Day Date night with my special lady. The food (dover sole), the wine ( a fantastic French chosen by our waiter ), and an awesome dessert ( Chocolate Moose) to end a perfect evening! I highly recommend this upscale, longtime Westfield restaurant. Thank you Stefan for a great night!

    We have been dining at Chez Catherine for more than 30 years. We ate there when Catherine was still alive, and were so happy when it re-opened after her death. Stefan and his staff have re-created the fine dining experience that is so hard to find anymore, especially outside New York. We dine at Chez Catherine several times a year for outstanding French food, a great wine list, and wonderful service.

    This small restaurant has a limited menu, but a selection with something to appeal to everyone’s taste. Each dish is excellent, and a reasonable size. The atmosphere is lovely, with fresh flowers on each table, and the host provides gracious service. Perfect for a special night out.
