    I've been to the Catch in Vegas and it was amazing so I've been looking forward to this location opening. Everything exceeded my expectations. The venue is stunning, all of the staff was so friendly and attentive. Our meal was coursed appropriately and everything we ate was divine! Sometimes when restaurants expand to a new city, they lose the same high level of quality and care. Not Catch! Thank you for an amazing night. I'll be back again and again.

    So our reservation was at 9 and we got there before 9 and got seated at 930. No complaints as there is an observatory area you can sit and wait at. They get a bit busy, and because it's such a great vibe a few people tend to linger at their table a lot longer than expected. Service was great, and the food was fantastic. This is our second time going and plan to go back again soon
