Nice place with good view, but only at the oceanfront tables.Waiting times are not acceptable, obviously only one waitress taking orders for the entire restaurant. Food was average.

Our dinner reservations were at 6pm for 2 people. We decided to go early so we could sit and have a cocktail at the bar before dinner. After drinks we were seated promptly at a beautiful window table over looking the beach and ocean (I requested a window table when making the reservation). Our food was delicious and our server was terrific. After dinner we sat in the hotel lobby on a comfy couch and listened to live music. Overall it was a fabulous experience.

Simply amazing experience! Aside from the stunning view of the ocean, the food was incredible! Our waiter was so knowledgeable about food sources and regional cuisine history . It was beautiful and I can't wait to go back!

Fixed price menu at $65 was a bargain. Top quality from the oysters to the main course. Very friendly and entertaining maître d' and waiters. View of the ocean spectacular. Highly recommend.

The food was pretty ordinary. The Ricotta tart was the only really outstanding dish followed by the bread. Good wine list. The server was very convivial and helpful. We had booked through open table and seemed to get second rated seating (seems to be a thing). Food and ambience fell well short of expectations.

A great server helps enhance a meal. Guillermo was terrific and guided us to the best choices, explaining specials and checking on us frequently. The dining room is perched above the beach so the view was great especially the sunset. I love a ricotta cheesecake and theirs was wonderful. The food items actually varied from very good to excellent but the service and ambience made everything taste better.

Catch is located with a perfect view of the beach. We arrived in time to watch the sunset while enjoying our first course of Iberico de Bellota ham on cristal bread - amazing. I am still thinking about that plate a day later. They also offer a delicate, delicious fish of the day but you can also chose steak, chicken, pasta...etc. There's a large cocktail menu that includes wines and beers. The view, the beautiful building and the easy valet parking make Catch one of my favorite restaurants in town.

From the moment I walked into Catch at Casa Del Mar, I could sense the alluring charm and relaxed ambiance that makes it a hidden gem along the picturesque coastline. While the restaurant boasts a delectable menu, a breathtaking ocean view, and inviting interior design, it was Guillermo, our outstanding server, who elevated the dining experience to new heights.Guillermo greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. His passion for excellent customer service was evident in every interaction. He guided us through the menu, offering insightful recommendations and ensuring we were comfortable with our choices. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and approachable throughout the entire evening.The food itself was a testament to the skilled culinary team at Catch. We started with the scrumptious Cesar Salad, Burrata and it was bursting with flavor, a tantalizing prelude to the main course. The sea bass and branzino were cooked to perfection. Paired with a superb selection of wines, our palates were thoroughly impressed.But it was Guillermo who left an indelible mark on our experience. His attention to detail and genuine warmth made us feel like we were the only guests in the restaurant, even on a busy night. He went above and beyond to ensure our evening was nothing short of extraordinary.In a world where good service is becoming increasingly difficult to find, Guillermo is a shining example of what true hospitality should look like. Although Catch at Casa Del Mar is a remarkable restaurant on its own, it's Guillermo's dedication and service that would make me return time and time again. If you're fortunate enough to dine at Catch, be sure to request Guillermo as your server – you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic dinner with fantastic help. We enjoyed a seafood platter which was a little over price and we had a new dish which was a Mediterranean sea bass baked in salt. The Seabass was fantastic.

A gorgeous spot & the food was surprisingly delish. Definitely an amazing restaurant for sunset. Our two favorites were the ginger & carrot soup and the chimichurri shrimp.

Great views and yummy food but I got food poisoning here :/

I think they just had a lot going on that night so our service was really slow but the waitress was delightful and tried very hard to step up a bit for us. We also never got our to go order of dessert because I think she got busy again or may have forgotten so we just left without it.

So disappointed. Room empty at 7:30 week of Thanksgiving. No atmosphere. Service competent but lackluster. Food was mediocre; to be kind. Being expensive and in prime location made us all the more surprised and displeased.

The view!!! The overall experience!!! I would highly recommend taking in Catch if not one of the other restaurants inside this beautiful hotel, Casa Del Mar. Lots to see especially if you get a window table at sunset. Stunning views.
