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!!

We had a wonderful time. Everyone made us feel so welcome and appreciated. Susie our server was so gracious and thoughtful. We consider her a dear friend. Our favorite cocktail is the guava daiquiri with an espresso martini for dessert I’ve had sea bass at several local restaurants and what I had here with lump crab and lemon butter was the best If you have never had chicken fried lobster you should try it Lobster and crab Mac and cheese is an excellent side Get the Landry’s rewards card it’s a good deal
