   I had a great experience for the first time at Catch. I had the Strawberry Paloma cocktail, which was okay. I also had the spicy rigatoni with shrimp added and this was pretty good. For dessert, I had the fried Oreos, which were very good. Joshua did a good job taking care of our party. Service was slow, but this seemed to be from the kitchen and not from our waiter in particular. Restaurant was not packed on the evening that we went.

   Had a great time at Catch. I had caviar service for the first time on the island and it did not disappoint. The presentation alone was astounding. Also tried barracuda for the first time in a lemon butter caper sauce. So amazing. This place is fancy so I felt underdressed until the owner told me don’t worry about it it’s an island be comfortable.

   Had a dear friend in town and he was adamant about Japanese Wagyu. Finally had the rib cap here. He was kind enough to share this once in a lifetime experience. Washed it down with some Macallan 18 and we were golden.

   We had a great experience at Catch. The food was outstanding. I started with the sashimi shots. The others had wedge salads. One of the catch’s of the day was barracuda. I had that prepared with a creamy parmesan sauce and vegetables. 3 of us had it prepared that way and the 4th had it prepared in a lemon caper sauce. The perfect ending was the fried Oreos and ice cream, which we shared. Our waiter, Darwin, was wonderful. Friendly and attentive! What more can you ask for. FYI, they do add a 15% service charge so just be aware of that.

   I had the special barracuda with lemon and caper sauce. It was so tasty and fresh on a bed of veggies. We shared the fried Oreos. Watched a 3 minute acrobatics show at 7:30.

   It wasn't the best meal during our stay in Aruba. Compared to other similarly priced restaurants that we visited, I would rank it last. And I am only talking about food. Service, ambiance was very nice. We were served by the owner of the restaurant, and I think he picked up that we won't be back, especially after he asked what other restaurants we visited (Lima bistro, Azar, L'Avenue and Bruto), I think he knew that his place is not on par with these. I'm talking about presentation, quality and taste. Outside of fish soup, which was excellent, all other dishes were so so. I got Barracuda, and it was a filet with vegetables, both looked non appealing, and taste wasn't anything to write home about. We also got pasta with shrimp, which was ... regular pasta with shrimp like you would get in Red lobster.. We did not get a desert. Needless to say, we won't be back.

    Totally enjoyed, party of 8 got to try many things Barracuda was delicious, lobster tail was also. 4 people had vodka rigatoni with shrimp, loved it. Owner Logan was at table to help and explain. Our waiter Joshua was very attentive and knowledgeable we will be back.
