Petit Domicile

Catalyst Kitchen Tap Room has a great atmosphere and a solid variety of food and drinks, but the overall experience was hit or miss. The drummies were a creative idea and tasted okay, but the fish tacos and chicken melt were just average—not bad, but nothing particularly memorable. Unfortunately, one of the cocktails didn’t sit well with me and sent me straight to the bathroom, which was disappointing.

Service was also just okay. Our waitress wasn’t very helpful in clarifying the menu. For example, she made it seem like the tacos came with a side, but we were later charged separately, making us feel like we were upsold rather than properly informed. A little more transparency and attentiveness would have improved the experience.

That said, the restaurant has a welcoming vibe, and the drink selection is good. It’s a decent place to grab a bite and a drink, though the food and service can be inconsistent. I’d recommend checking it out for yourself—you might have a better experience depending on what you order.

Every time I order waffle fries and want them NOT crispy and overdone, I think they intentionally cook them to almost burnt. Absolutely TERRIBLE service tonight. Been finished for 20 minutes and can’t leave because the kid bartender doesn’t have time to bill me out. Incompetence at its best again. I will never come back and will let my friends know.

Service was fast and professional and friendly. Food came out very fast!. The tator tots are amazing and the chicken strips are delicious. Only suggestion i have would be for the Philly wrap. I would use more seasoning on the meat and bell peppers to give it some flavor and maybe sear the wrap in the pan so it gets toasted and crunchy to add for texture. Lighting was also super great. Definitely will come again

Great selection of local brews in a neat area. Food is typical bar fare but freshly made.

This place has it all! Great drinks, food, and atmosphere. The service was great too. Very cool place for date night but there’s TVs towards the front for the sports fans. Plus the patio is awesome for those top ten weather days. I recommend this to my coworker and she also loved it.
