My favorite meal! Yellow tail jalapeño, hearts of palm salad, miso black cod and Matto roll are all a must! Matto tuna roll is special to the Dallas restaurant. Ambiance is perfect!

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.
