We were here for Valentine's and we had a great time. We had a rib eye, apple salad and the Brussels sprouts. All were delicious. Our server was very attentive, since we had a reservation we were immediately taken to our table. The environment was spot on. Prices were decent, food flavor was great. I had my ribeye cooked medium rare and it was spot on, delicious. It's kind of far from where we live, but it was worth it! We'll be back! read more

Catablu Grille - New American Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Catablu Grille is one of those restaurants that leaves me wondering why I waited so long to give it a try. Every aspect of this experience was fantastic: Food: Every course blew our minds. The tuna poke and feta whip appetizers were unbelievable, and my 14oz dry aged ribeye was cooked to perfection. The presentation at the table was equally impressive. Ambience: The dim lighting and artistic wall coverings give the place a classy feel. Noise levels were good, considering that the restaurant was packed by 6:30pm on a Thursday. Service: Was top notch. Our server (Riley) was great, and she was very attentive and upbeat. Catablu gets my highest (and rarest) recommendation. read more

Weekday dinner, pretty busy inside and out. First time in Fort Wayne and had no expectation of catablu. I opted for the hot garlic fried walleye. I've never had walleye as I live in the west coast and don't eat much fresh water fish. Fish was perfectly cooked, tender flaky and light. The dish was garlicky with a nice sauce at the bottom. Overall great experience, service and ambiance. Would highly recommend read more

We cane to Catablu from the recommendation of my cousin who lives just outside of Ft. Wayne. It did not disappoint! Walking into the space transports you to a big city vibe, chic, modern, yet classic. The staff seamlessly assembled as they greeted us, walked us to our table, and continued waiting on us through the evening. The proprietor walked around the room, greeting guests like family as we simply people watched in waiting for our food. We ordered the lobster bites for appetizer, shared the 14 oz. Dry aged ribeye for dinner, then got the apple tart at the recommendation of our server for dessert. All of it was amazing and top notch. This ranks very high of best dinning experiences in Ft. Wayne and we will definitely be coming back. Thanks J & Steph for the recommendation and thank you Catablu team! read more

Catablu just keeps getting better through the years! Took a special friend tonight (her first visit ever) and atmosphere, interior aesthetics, and food were SO wonderful! Love that they also have beautiful outdoor seating (which we didn't use tonight, but many diners were) Would like to focus on the food. Fresh, innovative, wide variety, beautifully presented. Shared the lemon feta w/pita triangles (our friend's fav and she just loved it) and the lobster bites (4 delicious bites). Both apps delectable! Three entrees: teres major steak (pictured), filet mignon au poivre (pictured), and a perfectly seasoned salmon in a tantalizingly spiced curry broth with crispy rice cake (pictured). Oh my word! Each of us would order our entrees again in a heartbeat! Ended with a shared order of beignets, light, fluffy and hot, with three dipping sauces: caramel, chocolate, and raspberry. A just right sweet treat to end a great dinner and evening! Highly recommend Catablu as one of this areas finest restaurants! Everything from decor to service to food is executed with great care! read more

I cannot say enough about this place. Tonight was my second visit, brining the rest of the family along. Food was absolutely delicious, hands down the best I have had in Fort Wayne since 2009. The wait staff was attentive, not pushy, and offered some great suggestions. It is a very neat place and has a nice vibe. Overall, this is now my new go to. read more

Catablu Grille - Menu - New American Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Nice fine dining restaurant located in strip mall, next to planet fitness. Plenty of parking spaces. Service was fast and friendly. Kayla kept filling up my glass of water. Food arriving in decent time. Chips are really good and tasty. The salmon is tender and huge portion on top of crispy rice. I think a bed of rice works better. The curry sauce is on sour side rather than sweet. Closed with sweet strawberry sorbet. All of that within reasonable price. Better than expensive steakhouse nearby. read more

Our Valentine's Day experience at Catablu was delightful. We sat at the bar which was very cozy and we appreciated the prompt and attentive service. It all added to the romantic atmosphere, creating a seamless dining experience. The Chicken Picatta and Filet Mignon were culinary highlights, delivering on both flavor and presentation. Their chop salad has a great taste and the perfect amount of crunch. The lavender infused gin drink is one of my favorites. Being the olive lover that I am, the crackers/bread basket with olive spread and butter are my favorite! The well-crafted drinks complemented the meal perfectly, enhancing the overall dining pleasure. The inviting atmosphere, coupled with attentive staff, created an ideal setting for a romantic evening. If you're seeking a combination of excellent service, delectable dishes, and a charming ambiance for a special occasion, this restaurant should be at the top of your list. read more

Amazing service and the food is perfect everytime we come here ! Definitely one of our favorites

It's so easy to forget about Catablu, tucked away in the strip mall next to planet fitness, but the service, food, and ambiance are always top notch. They have some pretty great fresh seafood options, their salmon being one of my favorite menu items! And don't miss out of the Brussel sprouts either. I usually try to make a reservation because they get busy! read more

Catablu is an amazing restaurant. Have never had a bad meal there. They deserve to be # one!!! read more

Still one of the top spots in FWA. Always great service and a great menu. Price is very reasonable considering the quality

A lively and busy place. Service started out great, but fizzled when my main dish arrived. The apple and blueberry salad was delicious, but a little disappointed with the rusty lettuce. The Thai salmon was amazing, except it needed a little salt. I waited for several minutes trying to get someone's attention, to no avail. I improvised and used the olive tapenade. Made it just about right. Just wish someone had checked on me after delivering my food. read more

Couple of things - We have dined here numerous times and its been good Not tonight service was lacking and food had to be sent back only to take it home and find not cooked to our request Our waiter was terrible going to reconsider going back read more

I want to start by saying, I love Catablu! My husband and I eat at the restaurant and get take out about once a week. However, they took Chicken Piccata off the menu and replaced it with Chicken Marsala. Unfortunately, the Chicken Marsala was not good. Hoping they put the Picatta back on the menu. Love their rotating sliders this summer. Would also love if they brought back the Thai Beef Lettuce Wraps. When they had them, we loved them! Their servers and the people at the hostess table are awesome! read more

My husband and I don't make our way out southwest often, but we really were craving great cocktails and ambience. We sat at the bar rail and ordered the blueberry and apple salad with grilled chicken and the spicy sausage rigatoni to eat. The food was so fresh, delicious, and came out so quickly. Not picture was the spicy tequila martini I got followed by a skinny marg. So worth the drive, and always fantastic. read more

Went to Catablu on may 2nd for our 5 year anniversary at 5 pm and had an excellent experience. Megan was our server and she did a perfect job. The food was delicious and I will definitely be returning. We went all out with drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts and were pleasantly surprised by the bill. I must make an additional comment though. I have been in the industry for over 20 years, and whoever the general manager is was on point. It's nice to see general managers who are super attentive to guests. He was pleasant in his interactions with us, and did well at accommodating our evening. Thanks again. read more

Amazing food and service was spot on. The staff was very knowledgeable of the menu and made the perfect recommendation.

Amazing food. Hostess was rude and server aloof. Would go back because the food was amazing.

Tried this restaurant for the first time off of multiple recommendations. I would recommend making a reservation as we went on a Friday night at 8pm and the restaurant was full. To start, we ordered drinks from the bar the Brussels sprout appetizer. My only complaint of the evening (which is minor) would be that our appetizer came out in about 2 minutes before we even received our drinks from the bar. They were crispy and cooked perfectly. We ordered the filet and the salmon. Both were cooked perfectly and we would order them again. Definitely recommend this spot if you are looking for a new date night spot. read more

This restaurant is consistently good. The staff really look after you - food is incredible. The menu hasn't changed much over the last few years but they do what they have so well! It is nice for family or date night - the ambience is great and I would recommend Catablu to anyone looking for somewhere nicer but friendly! read more

Expensive but delicious. Service, cocktails, food were all on par or better than the price would dictate.

I had an unpleasant experience with the owner of the establishment regarding reservations. He was very unpleasant, and awkward. I've never felt more unwelcome in a restaurant in my life. I won't be back. Plenty of other local restaurants I'd rather spend my time and money. read more

Good on all counts as given by all other reviewers‼ A really special neighborhood bar that loves new customers.

Great food and atmosphere. Mike and Maureen make you feel like family when you go here. Highly recommend the walleye. The drink selections are always on point read more

I made reservations on Yelp to this restaurant. It is very simple to do and they text or email you to confirm the reservation. I would recommend making a reservation. We went on a week night and it was packed. For our starters, we shared the fried calamari. It was good, and was served with two dipping sauces. The Catablu Grille serves bread with butter and a dip with olives in it. My husband was a big fan of the dip. For our entrees, I ordered the Bison burger and it is served with a side of fries. The fries were cut extremely small,but were tasty. I ordered the Bison burger well done and it was cooked perfectly and tasted great. My husband ordered the 140z. Black and Blue Dry Eyed Rib Eye. This is served with small onion rings on top and roasted potatoes. He enjoyed it very much and it was cooked just right. I ordered two martinis: the raspberry truffle and the blueberry lemon drop. The raspberry truffle was more of just a chocolate martini, as I could tell no hint of raspberry. It did have a cherry at the bottom. The blueberry lemon was my favorite out of the two. Very yummy! They also serve water and leave a pitcher on the table for you to refill your drinks. They do have some type of special which is different depending on the day you go. The special for that day was 20% off bottle wine. (just the bottle not an individual glass). For dessert, we had a lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cake has white powered sugar on it and has chocolate inside. It is served warm and the ice cream tasted great. Overall, this is a great gem in Fort Wayne and is a wonderful place for groups or a date night. The servers were polite, quick and knowledgeable. This is a must try! read more

It was our anniversary so we decided to revisit one of our favorite places. Often we find that we build up places in our head only to be disappointed - THIS VISIT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. This was the place we went on our first "date" after we had children. The meal then was spectacular as was the service. This time just added to our love for this restaurant and hope it's around for many years to come. This evening we started with the rice fried firecracker shrimp. I'm not a seafood person, but these were delectable enough to make a meal out of if I had more! For our main course we both got steak; mine - the herb marinated grilled beef filet mignon - was perfectly seasoned and cooked. My husband's dry aged black and bleu steak was a little overdone and when he offered a critique to the manager on duty he was very apologetic. First he offered to redo it and when my husband said 'no, it's OK', he then offered us dessert on the house. Wow! In addition to the attentiveness of the server and the manager I appreciated that they made us feel at ease - they conversed with us a little so we felt like welcome guests rather than a mere obligation. They didn't talk too long either; nicely done! My husband's old fashioned was quite delicious. I ordered a mango margarita. It tasted good, but lacked a bit of tartness for my taste. Next time I'll either order a bourbon based drink or a regular margarita. The desserts we ordered were on point. I got the key lime pie - tart, sweet, creamy, delicious. My husband ordered the seasonal sorbet which turned out to be raspberry. The portion was very generous and the texture and flavor were just what we expected and more. read more

One of our favorite spots in town with great service, the menu changes fairly frequently with new dishes to try, and they have great specials. read more

My fav spot! Love the ambiance. Food is always delicious as well as their cocktails. Grapefruit old fashion is a must!

Interesting vibe and good food. The Lobster bites and shrimp are great appetizers and the veal is outstanding ! We had excellent service !

I was in Fort Wayne on business and wanted a good glass of wine. I found Catablu Grille on Yelp and highly recommend this place! I sat at the bar, met the bartender Mary and the owner. Both of which are great. There were several locals sitting at the bar and since I'm not from here, they gave me a few other restaurants and spots to eat at in the area. Everything on the menu not only sounded but looked amazing. I chose the Caesar salad and added grilled salmon. Perfect portion! I also decided on a portion of truffle fries which were AMAZING! Overall, the wine selection was huge, great bourbons, delicious food and the entire place was decorated for Christmas. Absolutely beautiful! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and GO! read more

We were excited to see two new menu items, so we ordered them......apparently everyone else was also excited, because 10 minutes after we ordered, we were told they were sold.....at 6:45. Our substitute items must have gone to the back of the line again, as it took 40 minutes to be served. Good food, so so experience. They do need more menu variety. read more

Great atmosphere and menu, a lot of different variety of foods. Always excellent service. Great for a date night or a special night out with a group. read more

You have no idea how this pains me... we have loved our relationship here but this place focuses on the very well to do and averages regular people down the pipe. For the third time now our order has been lost , forgotten and mishandled! We paid but.....did not receive our order...got tired of waiting while others who ordered after got served. Last time ! Done! No stars. Tried to cool off but cannot. The simple is beyond these folks. So sorry. So sorry, read more

I have an allergic kid. It's so bard to order for him, but Catablu's salmon kids meal is egg free, nuts free. I was told they only use some salt and pepper plus some oil. I'm glad they don't use unknown sauce or condiment in my kids food. read more

Good food, good service, good ambiance. Never had a bad meal. Be sure to make reservations.

First time for a Valentines dinner with my girlfriend. They were so nice to us very accommodating. The food was excellent. Waiters and management were very nice. The setting was very nice not as expensive as I thought it was going to be. overall 10 out of 10. read more
