This place is under construction and does not look like what is displayed online. We were sat in the outside area that is enclosed and looks like a Friday's. Not impressed at all.. only saving grace was our polite server. Food is mediocre, save your money and go somewhere else. Absolutely not worth the hype.

To Whom It May Concern, My name is Mauricio Rojas. I am writing to formally report a deeply upsetting experience I recently had at Catch LA. I have been a loyal customer of Catch for over six years, and I never imagined I would be treated in such a disrespectful and discriminatory manner. Unfortunately, during my most recent visit, the manager Courtney and a staff member named Coby treated me in a rude, dismissive, and racially discriminatory way. Their behavior made me feel uncomfortable, disrespected, and unwelcome. In today's time, racism and discriminatory treatment should have no place—especially in a well-known establishment such as yours. This experience was one of the worst I have ever had at a restaurant in Los Angeles, and it stands in complete contrast to the standards of service I had come to expect from Catch over the years. I am requesting to be contacted directly to discuss this matter further and to understand how Catch plans to address this situation. I believe it is important for management to be aware of incidents like this so they do not happen again to any guest. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your response.

The food was amazing. Our server was not good. We told the management about it and nothing was done. ...but the food was great.
Kimika
The manager was very rude and condescending. She spoke to my friends in a way that made us feel very unwelcome

De très bon plats, un service attentionné et un rapport qualité/prix correct Toutefois le restaurant est très bruyant

It was a nice experience! They are currently remodeling so it doesn't look THAT great, but they offer complimentary champagne when you arrive to make up for it :) the sushi was delicious!

You guys need to let people know if the entire restaurant is under construction. We pay for the experience and it was not there this year due to such extensive construction. The beautiful floral entrance was dead and freezing cold. We would have skipped Catch this year had we known.

My husband and I dined here for the very first time on Christmas Eve. We were genuinely excited and both worked double shifts all week so we could afford what we hoped would be a special holiday dinner. Unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing from start to finish.
We were seated at what was easily the worst table in the restaurant and were largely ignored by the wait staff throughout the evening. Despite ordering before several nearby tables, we watched food being delivered to others around us while we waited, without explanation or acknowledgment.
As frustrating as that was, it unfortunately turned out to be the least of the issues that evening. The most serious and alarming problem occurred after my husband ordered the “sushi pizza.” Approximately 15 minutes after consuming it, he became violently ill. His condition worsened so quickly that we were forced to leave our dinner abruptly and go directly to Cedars-Sinai. He spent the entirety of Christmas Day in the emergency room and suffered from severe food poisoning for nearly three days, missing Christmas entirely.
Out of genuine concern for other guests, I later emailed the Catch Group to inform them of the incident and urged them to pull the item so no one else would be harmed. As of today, no one has responded or even acknowledged what occurred.
Between the poor service, the unsafe food, and the complete lack of follow-up, this experience was extremely upsetting. I would strongly advise others to stay clear.

Went to Catch for dinner on NYE for their $150 prix fixe. Easily one of the bottom three meals I had all year.
The truffle sashimi featured decent fish but was completely overwhelmed by truffle and salt. We then waited 30 minutes for the next course, an inedible spinach salad, so aggressively seasoned with truffle and salt that it was the only dish all year I genuinely wanted to spit out. It felt like a kitchen mistake, I suspect it was accidentally dressed with the truffle soy meant for the sashimi, as I can’t imagine the salad was intended to be prepared that way.
We didn’t touch the pasta, it looked like reheated gas-station macaroni. The branzino itself was fairly good, but the risotto beneath it was not. The shrimp dish was downright awful, massively over-fried and tasted closer to Panda Express than a high-end restaurant.
The interior is also in rough shape and looks like it’s overdue for a multi-million-dollar renovation.
For the price, the quality is indefensible. I’d be shocked if this place survives much longer.
Our second New Years Eve dinner at Catch. Food was excellent and varied and way too much for us. By the time the steak and branzino was servers we were full, Service and ambiance were great. We will be back for sure.

Had to send a few things back, food didn't seem as good as I remembered but overall decent. Service seemed a little rushed as well. The hostesses at the front were super friendly & accommodating

Our party was a group of 3. Checked in, waited in the bar area for about 20 minutes. The restaurant has good atmosphere, drinks are well made.
Finally got our table and the server greeted us and asked us what kind of water we want. About 15 minutes passed server hadn’t come back and hadn’t received our water. It seemed like our server Julianne was not there. We had to repeat our order, she was absent through out our whole dining experience.
Our entrees came before the appetizer. When we told her she simply said “oh, well do you still want them or you want me to take them off” we decided to take them off. She Never apologized.
Never brought our steak knives, we had to ask the service assistant. Never brought our steak sauce. We noticed she only had 2 tables, ours and the one next to us and she still couldn’t keep up. Overall, we won’t be coming back.
Forgot to mention, when she came to our table the first time she dropped another’s table credit card. She don’t even noticed till we told her. Very absent minded.

Service was very bad this time!!! The waiter coursed our food wrong & we had to wait 10-15 min for each appetizer, main course & even for paying the bill.
