I've eaten from Catch numerous times and everytime service was great and food was delicious

I truly enjoyed this place. Service was great and food was good. Great location right next to a free parking garage. Only thing I would say needs improvement is menu options. Wish they had a better surf n turf option with like a lobster and steak option. My surf n turf consisted of scallops and beef, still very tasty however. They did make me a specially requested martini that wasn't on the menu. I will be going back for more. read more

Delicious! Definitely recommend. Nice location. Excellent customer service. Our waiter took SUPER care of us, wish I caught his name.

First time at Catch 35 in Naperville and it was absolutely delish. Warm bread with whipped butter, slurpworthy gumbo, their ultra tender signature seabass and lobster tails. Table service was wonderful, and we had such a good time. read more

I have been here many times and all great experiences. I never have to wait too long for my table with a reservation. I love trying All of the different wines, I had a Prosecco and the crab cake sliders last time I went. So delicious. I highly recommend the shrimp bisque and Caesar salad. The restaurant is huge and can serve many customers, and staff is vey friendly. I'm very excited to go there again tonight to celebrate my birthday! read more

Took my wife here for a celebration outing. This was our first time dining out somewhere in a long time. Thankfully it was pretty quiet on a Monday afternoon, and it's spacious inside. The workers all wore masks, and the booths were separated by plexi-glass. The ambiance was nice, and service was friendly. We ordered the sweet & sour halibut and crab cake entree w/ crispy brussel sprouts. The halibut came out steaming hot, and was very tasty. The bell pepper, onion, and pineapple combo was nice. The jasmine rice was fine, but could have been cooked in a way to make it fluffier/stickier like we make at home. The crab cakes were also delicious. It was nice to have crab cakes without a bunch of filler ingredients. The brussel sprouts were spot on, too. The serving size for both dishes was good; in fact, we took leftovers home. Naturally, a higher end place like this is going to be pricey, so our bill was much higher than what we'd normally pay for lunch. But it was a special lunch, so I'd only visit a restaurant like this once in a blue moon. read more

March 31, 2024 My wife and I decided to to have our Easter dinner at this dump. What a mistake. Everything was fine through the bread and salad, and then the entrees were served. I ordered the salmon and it arrived cold and uncooked. It was a disgusting slimy piece of garbage. Besides the uncooked slop the service also needs to be improved. Not once were we offered drink refills or checked upon by the waiter. Highly disappointed and people need to stay away from this outhouse of a restaurant. read more

I arrived early, the host (very sweet but did not get her name) showed me to the bar so I could pass some time, the bartender, Todd was friendly and attentive. We sat at our table at the time of the reservation and our server Craig was very patient! We had ladies coming in one after another and ended staying for about 2 and a half hours! Craig was knowledgeable about the menu and answered our questions! He took great care of us! We loved our visit and my close friend had a wonderful 30th birthday! Thank you guys so much! read more

Catch 35 was lovely to dine for a special occasion. They took temperatures, wore masks and gloves and had plexi glass between all the tables. The food was wonderful. We started with the crab and guacamole quesadilla which was filled with fresh lump crabmeat. My brother is gluten and dairy free and he was able to enjoy a wonderful fresh Chile glazed salmon dish. Lastly the fresh lobster tail simply melted in your mouth. Highly recommend for a very nice outing/celebratory occasion. read more

My partner and I ate here on a whim on a Saturday night. There was no wait and we were able to sit outside next to some heaters (it was beginning of November). They also have a huge indoor dining area and during covid, have plastic dividers between some of the booths and chairs. It was in a beautiful location of Naperville - next to ample parking, through a garage and street parking. Our server was so wonderful and attentive and provided helpful suggestions. I attended up ordering tacos which were filling, juicy and served on a cute 3 prong platter/holder. My partner ordered a burger and fries, which sounds simple, but this was an extremely large burger :) They also have an extensive drink menu and desserts. It is a little pricey with meals ranging from $12-$45+ (if you're ordering seafood or steak). But I definitely recommend! read more

Planned a special evening for my family. We hadn't been to Catch 35, which was beyond wonderful 10+ years ago. It was a disappointing experience. Pre dinner cosmo was gray in color, and not tasty. Crab cakes arrived as a pile of mush. Dinner brought cold mashed potatoes . Nothing at all like we remembered. However dessert was very good, but I doubt if it was made on premises. For a bill of $500, I doubt if we will return read more

High quality seafood in the heart of downtown Naperville. Came here for a birthday dinner and ordered a bottle of wine with the tuna sashimi and hals dozens oysters to start. Good size slices of tuna with a sauce presented nicely. For fish we had the halibut and sea bass both cooked to perfected and came with a side you can choose from vegetables. Our servers were great and helped us make menu selections and constantly checked on us. Overall great dining experience with spaced tables and mask requirements when entering. read more

My wife and I went here because it had been a while since the last time we were here. Denzel was our server and he was very pleasant. He was able to provide great recommendations when it came to the food and cocktails! We actually tried 3 of his recommendations and were glad we did!! I had the gumbo as an appetizer, a raspberry limon martini and the seared scallops and shrimp risotto!! I'm now a huge fan of that meal and as long as it's on the menu I will probably continue to order it. There are parking options near the restaurant but at times it's still difficult to find a park with it being downtown Naperville. read more

My first impression. Made plans to meet for lunch, they don't open until 1:00pm. Everything online says 11:30am, even the door says 11:30am. I just called the restaurant and the recording says call back after 1pm. Might want to update everything else! read more

I had the pan-seared Szechuan scallops and the shrimp pad Thai several years ago; both were reasonably priced and very good. Planning a trip to Naperville before Christmas, I thought to check the current menu. I'd still recommend the above two dishes, but do people really order cod fish and chips or Kung Pao chicken at $26, or, even more questionably, fries or mashed potatoes at an absolutely astounding $11? read more

I went here on Nov. 18 with my boyfriend and we chose here because we wanted to splurge by going to a nice, upscale restaurant. As someone who has worked as a server at a variety of quality restaurants, I felt compelled to share my experience. TL;DR: Not impressed. Atmosphere: The atmosphere was lovely, my boyfriend and I commented on how cozy and warm it felt. We noticed other patrons were dressed nicely and it was quiet, despite being busy. Our first impressions of the atmosphere had us excited to try out the food. Service: I don't remember her name, but she gave us a good balance of not smothering us but not neglecting us either. As a server, I would've appreciated a little more interaction/friendliness aside from just getting our orders, but my boyfriend and I weren't upset by this. Just something I noticed. Food: They say the presentation of the food is the most important determinant of whether someone will enjoy their meal and how memorable the experience will be. The food was what made me put 2 stars. The presentation was... lackluster, to put it politely. I worked at a 2-star restaurant in college that ended up going out of business and it had better presentation than this. I'm not a food connoisseur by any means, but when the food was brought out, I was significantly disappointed. For an upscale restaurant, I would've expected much more effort but it looks like they slapped the mashed potatoes on, dumped a small amount of beurre blanc on the fish and threw 3 tomatoes on. The whitefish was bland, mashed potatoes were bland, overall unimpressed. Unfortunately, my boyfriend was not impressed with his meal either (Maine Lobster Tail & Filet Mignon). We left disappointed and won't be coming back. read more

I feel if you are going to an upscale restaurant in downtown Naperville, you should offer valet service. The meal was good but I can have just as good if not better at a restaurant that doesn't charge like an upscale restaurant. Ambiance was nice and service was ok. read more

So first off, the atmosphere and service deserves 5 stars. We were very happy with the service and cleanliness of the location; our server was very educated on the entire menu. The location lost a star because we really didn't find anything that hooked us into coming back. The crispy brussel sprouts were well done as you would expect, but they were very very soggy. The parm truffles fries were okay. The sea bass was VERY GOOD, as were the mussels. My Maine Lobster tail was just kind of okay. Dessert was less than par, the crust was very plastic like in texture and impossible to cut through. If we ever had to go back, I would 100% get the mussels again, but that really is it. The other star was lost unfortunately because after we finished the entire bottle of Cakebread Sav Blanc, we noticed the cork was moldy. This could be on Catch 35, or the vineyard itself, however was really disappointing to notice when we were finishing the bottle. I wouldn't tell others to not stop here, but just be cautious and look at what others have favorited in other reviews. read more

Five stars for busboy who was as friendly as can be as we sat. Downhill from there. Salads were ok but appetizers were not and entrees even worse. Salmon was raw not rare, sides had zero flavor, and crab cakes were cold and bland. Server was nice but easily overwhelmed and not very present. I waited tables for years so it pains me to write a bad review but after enjoying Catch 35 downtown we were so happy to get to one in the burbs more easily. Like night and day these two are. read more

Catch 35 is not what it used to be. Gone is white linen and clean bright look. It has been replaced by lighting so dark that many customers were using their cell phone lights to read the menu and some even to see their food. This made me think what are they hiding? Generally, the food inconsistent most was tasty but some was not special to poor. The pricing is still pricey as is was aand deserved to be during Catch 35's glory days years ago. Service was good and helpful. I would not return. read more

Nice place to dine in be it a family affair, friends gathering, first dates or business related. Its a great place for bigger groups too. The inside is large, good amount of space in between tables. Outdoor patio has more of a casual ambience as its right by the street, and is pretty small. We were a group of five friends and two toddlers, went there on a long weekend nice summer afternoon. We wanted to seat outside to enjoy the pleasant warm weather however the patio dint look appealing to us. So we took a table inside, which looked very nice. Place is kid friendly, they provided activity sheets with coloring pencils. Also, good highchairs and plently of room to maneuver the strollers. Food was good, everyone was happy with their dishes. We all shared our dishes and I tasted everything that we had on table.:) All the dishes tasted good, no soggy food. Although not any dish that stood out. The thing that made a lasting impression on me was actually my margarita! It was refreshing with a hint of sweetness and had the right amount of alcohol in it, really hit the spot on that warm pleasant afternoon. Friendly and cordial staff. Nicely located with convenient parking garage just a few steps away. read more

The service was very good. The waiter was attentive and efficient. The meal is just sort of average in my opinion. I got the chicken. I was expecting something more upscale for the price point. However, what really surprised me was I ordered the biscuits. I received 5 biscuits which where soooooo small, they might as well been nuggets. I didn't know the price when I ordered because the price wasn't on the menu because they were like a side dish. They cost$11.00!!! Are you kidding me. Stop trying to get over on the customer by an overpriced item. Red Lobsters biscuits are much larger and taste better. read more

Such a fantastic restaurant. The ambiance is great, and they're really good about taking COVID-19 precautions. Their seafood is fresh and portions are a good size. There wasn't much of a wait when we went on a Sunday afternoon, but there were numerous people commenting that this wasn't the norm, so I'd get there early just in case. read more

Catch 35 is my favorite restaurant in Naperville, hands down. Except my hands are never down here- they are too busy feasting! Perfect for Casual Lunch, Happy Hour/Appetizers, or a Exceptional Dinner with those who are special to you! They menu is fabulous -with continual updates to provide the freshest seasonal ingredients. Always, always a beautiful fresh catch of day, and the steak is also a stunner. -For lunch, I recommend the Lobster Roll (o.k., I know we aren't in Maine but this meal can transport you sea side!). -For an appetizer, you must try the Lemongrass-Inspired Mussels, served with ample fresh baguette to soak up the delicious broth. To die for! Martinis are splendid if that's your poison. -For dinner, if you enjoy fish, dive into the Catch of the Day. Simply Divine. I highly recommend a visit to Catch 35 Napervillle to dine "Oceanside in Naperville". Pure bliss. read more

Great date night spot! Ask for Denzel! We came here during the day for our anniversary lunch, since we have a 6mo we had to bring him with us. The staff was so accommodating. We had 12 of the oysters, the shrimp bisque, the short rib with mashed potatoes, wedge salad, mussels, and 1lb crab leg. Towards the end of our lunch the little one became fussy, we asked for our check and boxes, this way we didn't ruin anyones lunch. Again, the staff helped us quickly wrap up our lunch and we were out the door. They gave us a complimentary dessert for our anniversary, key lime pie! YUMM, we'll definitely be back! read more

First timer. Our waiter was very patient with us because we spent more than a few minutes looking over the menu. I was left speechless after taking a bite out of the Chilean sea bass. Safe to say that I didn't need to bring any leftovers home. Truffles fries were overly salty but then again, it's just fries. -1 .. Wished the tables weren't so close to one another. There was another table of two seated very close next to us and as much as I tried to ignore their convo- we heard every word. Wasn't the most intimate dinner but at least the food was good. read more

Been here a few times and I must say that the food here is delicious. I enjoyed my most recent visit where I ordered off the "Halal Menu". For those looking for this option know that you must order minimum 24 hours in advance. The steak was made perfectly and tasted awesome! Plenty of beverages to pick from, appetizers, and sides. The only reason I didn't rate this a 5 star is due to the waiters. Each time I've been here, I've had to look for someone to ask for a refill on my drink or if I needed something else. Yes, they occasionally come and ask if you need anything but I shouldn't have to look around and wait to find my waiter. Will I still go back? Absolutely! The food is definitely worth! Just go in with a bit of patience and you will have a good time. read more

We had a nice Easter dinner here but found the food portions were tiny, especially when considering the cost. Most of the main dishes were delicious but the Yellowfin Tuna Steak was cold in the middle. I would recommend the Calamari, Braised beef, Prince Edward Mussels, and Smoked Shrimp Pasta. They had no draft beers, only bottles. The Old-Fashioned was one of the worst tasting we've had. However, I will say our waitress was so lovely and accommodating. We likely wouldn't eat here again, but it was nice to try. Great location and close to multiple parking areas. read more

This review is a little late but better late than never! This was my first time at this location and overall it was good. My friend and I decided to go here for restaurant week. Our server was happy and friendly. He came back and checked in with us every so often as well. The food was good....I just wish my soup was warmer. I felt like it was served at room temperature. It was a cold night so to start off with a nice warm cup of soup would have been great. The steak was cooked at the perfect temperature so it was good. The key lime for dessert was more on the tart and tangy side but it was good. Overall I would come back again. read more

Great location for a date night out where you can make an evening out of dinner and walking around the downtown area afterwards! Menu is a little off the beaten path with having an Asian flair with the traditional steak and seafood menu, which can be interesting as long as it's done well, which, from what I can tell from my first visit here, is the case. We had the Schezwan scallops for an appetizer; came with a spinach-stuffed potsticker - very good. Shrimp bisque and Shrimp gumbo (has a good kick) both very good. Steak medallions were medium rare but I has asked for medium, so they were a bit hard for me to eat since there is a difference in texture when you get more rare - that is why I have a 4-star rating. High-end steak places should have the art of cooking steak exactly right for how it's ordered. Lobster was good and great presentation. Recommend the orchard martini - the cinnamon sugar rim accented the drink perfectly - loved it! read more
