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!

Walleye
Kwan K.

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

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!

Seared salmon on crispy rice cake in deliciously flavored curry broth

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!

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.

Pan seared salmon with crispy rice bed and Thai curry sauce
Supardi D.

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.

Chop Chop Salad
Katie B.

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.

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

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.

Food was just OK and service was so so. Expected more at that price point. We went there on a Saturday night and it was not too crowded.

The Abstract - Italian sausage flatbread

We went at 5 pm on a weeknight and were the only guests outside of one other person. The service…read morewas wonderful. She made great recommendations and helped us decide based on our time constraints. She was attentive and gave us a lot of information about the food, live music, DJ and art for sale on all the walls. We weren't super hungry, so we tried the flatbread - sooo good. I will be back because the whole menu, including the drinks, sound wonderful. They offered zero spirit, GL and other substitutions if needed which is nice. The atmosphere has a moody, darker hang out vibe to it. I loved it and can't wait to bring some friends and family back! She recommended reservations on the weekends, especially on "First Fridays" as that's when they do events and an art crawl on Broadway when the weather is nice. We parked on the street in front of the building so I'm not sure if there is a parking lot. They do have outdoor seating as well in the front of the building. I remember when this location was a food co-op waaaaaaay back in the day. They did a great job transforming it into a relaxing bar and restaurant. We will go back and I highly recommend you check it out!

We were looking for a non-chain place for an early dinner and decided to give this place a try…read more When we arrived around 4 pm, there were a few people at the bar but we were the only ones at a table. We ordered the fried avocado which was served with pickled onions and a spicy dip - very good and the bonus was a happy hour discount. Hubby had the Cheddar Smash burger with fries as his side choice (other options are onion petals or a side salad). Catsup was complimentary but there was a charge for the garlic aioli. Good but nothing stand out. I had the Brie and Berry grilled cheese without the prosciutto. My choice of side was the onion petals. Again, tasty but not standout. Ahlana served us quickly and with a smile, checking in several times to see if we were enjoying our meal. It was kind of dark inside (adding to the atmosphere no doubt) and there is a collection of eclectic art work. We were not fans of the music but we are old! There is outside seating but road noise may take away enjoyment of dining here. Enjoyable meal.
