Editorial Review by Citysearch Staff

"An affordable seafood menu served in swanky digs captures the heart of the Castro.

The Scene

Neighborhood hipsters throng the bar which is crammed with back lit liquor bottles and often adding to the high noise level--come for an early visit to actually hear your dining companion . A cleverly designed, enclosed patio with a circular fireplace keeps all warm even on blustery nights.

The Food

Though the name Catch could playfully refer to the plethora of dating options at the bar; it's also a hint at the menu's seafood fare. Tangy tuna tartare is studded with capers and onions; meaty, smoked salmon sushi roll with tempura shrimp is exquisite. The signature Seafood Stew blends all the required elements into a cheerful, heaping bowl."

Editorial Review for Catch – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Back-lit liquor bottles form the backdrop at this Castro boite, which is consistently packed with a good-looking crowd. A grand piano and an enclosed patio with a circular fireplace outside add to a festive atmosphere. The focus is seafood, with starters ranging from tuna tartare to oysters on the half shell. Salads include an ahi tuna nicoise and a traditional Caesar. Entrees vary from sauteed mussels with french fries to linguini and clams.

I went to this restaurant on a double date a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, my blind date didn't like seafood, which could have been a problem, seeing that we were in a seafood restaurant. Instead, he ordered one of the many other dishes that didn't contain seafood. Most other places wouldn't have anything else, but Catch offers dishes other then seafood, which was extremely helpful in this case. We occasionally come back to this place to celebrate where we first met each other. The romantic settings are perfect for a dinner for two.And we absolutely adore the pianist on the platform near the ceiling.

Pros: Ambience, Excellent Food Options

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
