I made a last minute reservation and I'm so glad I did. We had an amazing night. Dinner was delicious from our starter dishes to our dessert. I highly recommend their mussels, the curry sauce was Devine. We opt to sit outside as it was the perfect cool summer breeze evening. Service was also super friendly and accommodating! read more

The restaurant is beautiful now. The service is friendly and on top of things. The most important thing is, the food is amazing!!!! Creative sauces are addictive! Loved the brussel sprouts, and our halibut and tuna entrees were unbelievable! So creative, with great ingredients and combinations! (Another review saying the mojito was awful must be thinking of another restaurant because there is no liquor here). read more

Such a gem. Always the best meal, and always such a nice experience. The staff is so personable and warm. The food is by FAR the best around and so thoughtfully prepared. We keep coming back over and over again. Love this place ! The pork chop was out of this world, and the brussel sprout appetizer was so good we're still talking about it ! Excellent ! read more

Our favorite new restaurant on the shore! I'd seen a great review of this spot on social media and it lived up to the hype. It seems hard to get a reservation here, though we were able to snag a 9pm slot on a Saturday about a week in advance. They accept reservations on Resy. To start, we tried the crispy rock shrimp, kung pao bacon (more like pork belly) and Caesar salad. All three were good. Unfortunately they were out of the tuna cannolis when we went (downside of a 9pm reservation). For entrees, we had the lobster rigatoni and the wagyu bolognese with burrata. The bolognese was unique and delicious! While a 9pm reservation isn't ideal, food came out quickly. Our server was attentive, friendly, and happy to make recommendations on the menu. FYI - they are BYOB. read more

Overpriced. In a small house first floor in the middle of a neighborhood. No silverware at the table. Bread was eh, flatbread special was burnt, chicken scarpello we all had it at our table, and it was so spicy and it was like a chicken finger breading. I don't know, just was not even close to what I was expecting. The meal only came with potatoes, no greens... that was a side you had to order. This place has higher end/ steak house prices without the quality. Don't go. Save your money! It gets two stars because they were accommodating of an our party in short notice and with a child. read more

This place is such a cute concept with an ever changing menu every few months which always peaks my interest. The food did take a while to come out which I was surprised at because it was earlier in the night. The wagyu bolognese and the mashed potato's were a hit with everyone at the table. read more

Hi we ordered the lump crab cake appetizer. It was cold inside. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, they were very good. We ordered the octopus. It was over fried and served with two over fried hash browns that were undistinguishable. We ordered the chicken Marsala, over deep fried again. In a nutshell , we will probably never go there again Oh and nice waitress read more

Our first time here on a busy Friday night. The food was excellent! I had the Short Rib special. The meat was unbelievably tender and the flavor was outstanding! My friends all had the swordfish and loved it! We ordered the Brussels sprouts which were cooked perfectly and easily fed everyone. Our deserts were sinful and worth the calories! Our server was knowledgeable, courteous, and engaged when we asked many questions. My only concern was the noise but it was Festive and everyone was totally loving this new & charming restaurant. Best Wishes to the young and enthusiastic owner & chef! read more

Excellent new restaurant in Point Pleasant , New Jersey. Best steaks (most on the specials menu), very fresh fish crudo, fresh made pasta. We were lucky to get this last minute table, it's a hard reservation (on Resy for reservations). Service was excellent by our server , Nicole. This is a BYOB. They do have the usual soft drinks etc. I was impressed that the have Mountain Valley Spring water which is the only bottled water I drink and hard to find. The food was unbelievable good, even for my husband who had the Steak. I had the pasta which was excellent and rich. My tuna Crudo was so fresh and paired with amazing fresh olives & olive oil. My husband had the Kung Poa Bacon which he devoured. We also enjoyed the grilled Asparagus. Do no walk but run to your Resy App and put your self on the wait list , that's how we got in last night! I gave 5 stars , which it more then deserves but my only complaint was it was a bit noisy. The ceilings are low and its one room. But totally worth it , less talk more eating. read more

We went during Restaurant Week. We had a great meal. The food was delicious and high quality. Our server Nicole was very friendly and attentive. We got the pork belly sliders, the empanada, the goat cheese crustini (amazing!!), the lamb bolognese and porkchop with cherry pepper sauce. Will definitely go back! read more

From entering to when we were finished and leaving, the dining experience was top notch. Everyone was pleasant. The steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The chicken piccatta was a nice twist with the chicken being fried enhanced the flavor and texture to the next level. We will definitely be returning read more

We have eaten here a few times now and are never disappointed. Every single thing we have tried has been excellent. I can't recommend highly enough. Our favorite restaurant in the area for sure. Can't wait to go back. read more

Although the manager tries hard it's time to close. We gave this place a lot of tries we assumed it needed time to work out the kinks. The kinks have won. The menu is limited and expensive. The physical plant is poor. Perhaps those are not the real issue - the meals bear little resemblance to the menu. It seems each cook does what strikes his or her fancy based on what they have available - but not skillfully. On our most recent visit when our food arrived not one meal had the listed ingredients. The wait staff was nice but oblivious. The meals varied between poor and inedible. I like the folks who tried to run this place but it needs to close. read more

Went for dinner this evening as a party of seven, service was great and the food was outstanding! Three of us ordered the Pork Chop and it was spectacular; I ordered the Wagyu Bolognese and it didn't disappoint! Katie had the Cacio Pepe and it looked amazing. We had the meatball appetizer, bacon appetizer, beet salad, artichoke appetizer and burrata, they were all outstanding. Nicole our server was attentive and made sure we had a great time. We ordered a few flourless chocolate cakes and the key lime pie with graham cracker crumble for the table and no complaints could be heard. I great experience, with great friends and a delicious meal. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Hands down one of best meals we have had in a long time!! Tuna tartar was heavenly, skirt steak so amazingly cooked and the scallops & corn puree were def my fave of the night. Our service was attentive and super friendly. Atmosphere was loud & lively, everyone must have enjoyed their meals as much as us. read more

Very lovely set up in a old home. Staff was fantastic. I had a filet that was perfectly cooked but their mashed potatoes stole the show. Yum! BYOB can't go wrong. read more

It was a very weird experience. We had a reservation for 4 people. We checked in and saw there was one awful table for 4 next to the door and kind of backing up to the lobby/entranceway. We were told our table wasn't ready and sat down to wait. We were happy that we weren't getting that bad table by the door. We wait 15 minutes and what happens - they sit us at the crappy table. No worries. We'll make the best of it. We have 2 bottles of wine to open for 4 of us. The server comes over and opens the bottles and informs us that they are out of wine glasses since everyone brought wine that night! Will it be okay to use water glasses? WHAT? You can't make this up. Anyway the food was really good but overall bad table and bad first impression. Will not be in a hurry to go back. read more

It was our first time. I have been trying to get into this place for weeks. Love the ambience! I got the salmon, it crispy and so flavorful. Also the brussel sprouts are a most have! Our waitress, Nicole, was great! She was attentive and gave spot on recommendations! Must go place next time you're in point pleasant! read more

So delicious. We went the first month they opened and loved every bite. We went again today when our Easter plans fell through when some family members got sick and it was incredible. They were SO sweet with our toddler and overall, wonderful service. Left very full and with leftovers we can't wait to eat. Had the burrata, blue crab claws, crispy artichokes/brussels, scallop entree and gnocchi, ended with the flourless chocolate cake. Can't wait to go back! read more

Res for four 6pm Saturday Waited 5 min to be seated (good start) Staff is friendly BYO and we did Apps Meatballs - 2 medium size in the order - Some of the best meatballs I have had out. Bacon was tasty Entrees Halibut was good not great (for $50 expected more) Shrimp pasta was good squid ink was interesting. 2 of us got Chicken parm, was good not great One came out with BURNT edges You can't tell me the chef did not see that! For $35 do a better job checking dish quality before serving Decent food just not worth the $$$ read more

Overpriced and over seasoned. The bread was so stale and everything was over dressed... scallops were swimming in a sweet sauce, brussel sprouts were soaking wet with honey dijon... The bolognaise was extremely salty and had hardly any meat. It's a shame because this place has received rave reviews but for us it was an utter disappointment. :( We wanted to try the steak but couldn't stomach paying close to $80 when we weren't at a steakhouse. Glad we didn't! The farmhouse was quiet and dark. No ambience., just closely placed tables. read more

Our first time at CFT (catherines farm to table), as their prices are on the high side. Restaurant week the perfect time to give it a try. Three in our party and all enjoyed our meal. Mussels fra Diavolo were cooked nicely with a bit of a spicy sauce. Caesar Salad was not over dresses but someone went a little crazy with the black cracked pepper, lastly the crispy artichoke were done well with a spicy sauce at the bottom that didn't overwhelm. Bread and seasoned butter was shared by the table. Main courses were delicious. Two diners order the braised short ribs with veggies. The meat fell apart, very tender. Veggies nicely done. The sauce a wine reduction was still quite heavy on wine flavor which was a bit strong. The pork chop was delicious. Cooked perfect with a lot of flavor. The disappointment was the whipped sweet potato , it was like a glaze on the plate--almost transparent. There could have been a bit more as it went well with the pork and cabbage. Desserts did not disappoint. Pumpkin cheesecake was nice, creamy with a slight pumpkin flavor. Flourless chocolate cake was fudge like but light at the same time , it could have used just a little whipped cream to round it out. Best part for my husband it is a BYOB. Service: Our waitress was attentive, but not in your face. Drinks were refilled without being asked to. She was busy as the place was packed. Courses came in a timely fashion, there was time to breath between them which I like. Ambiance: Very simple decor, which is fine as you not there to check out the decorating, your there to enjoy a meal. The noise level, VERY LOUD! It was a times difficult to hear my table mates talking. One negative was when our check arrived. They add a 5% credit card user fee. We were not asked if we would be paying by credit it was just added to the bill. It was removed when cash was paid, but the credit card companies charge just under 4% so they make money on your credit charge. read more

Honestly delicious food drinks was disappointing worse mojito I ever had service was not good but I will return just for the food the place is so adorable the salad was so delicious read more

With a 6:30pm reservation we were not seated until 7:00pm The restaurant needs sound dampers ... it looks like the old Captain Ed's with new tables and chairs squeezed in to use every square inch. Appetizers were mediocre, but passable. The entrees were small and the Short Ribs were so tough they couldn't be cut -after being described as fall off the bone good. The Halibut was over cooked and the pasta entree was just ok. Will probably not go back. No value for your $$ . read more

Just ok. Overpriced for the food. Service excellent. Order 2 octopus at apps and good thing cuz there were more potatoes than octopus. Korean chicken app was too salty. Tuna was ok. Branzio and scallops were ok, sausage pasta just ok. read more

Came across this place on a whim, saw that it was farm to table and just had to try, and I'm glad I did. Everything was amazing , the food was top notch, the taste, the quality, and my kids even devoured their dish. The dining area is cozy and the staff very attentive. My wife has the truffle mushroom risotto which was to die for and my Ribeye as well. Can't wait to go back . read more

The food was excellent but just felt a little overpriced compared to other places we have been with similar menus. A small shareable plate of spicy vodka rigatoni without any protein in it was $26. The scallops, steak, and pork belly burnt ends were all great. read more

This is the first time I've ever left a a review for a restaurant, but after eating here I feel it is necessary. First off, our waitress was Excellent, hence the two stars. That said, if you like salt, you'll love this place. I had a $200 Wagu sampling that might as well have been a plate of salt. Awful is an understatement. My wife had a fish dish was over salted as well, it was inedible. read more

I was visiting from out of town and my friends had been wanting to try Catherine's. Was happy we got reservation on a Saturday night. We brought a couple bottles of wine and the waitress brought out the worst wine glasses I have ever seen. Thick, clunky and just awful. Now to the food, the burrata was good but served with one very small crostini...odd, when asked for a couple more she brought the regular cold table bread, the other appetizers were good but not memorable. Mains were just ok. Two of us got pasta and it was good but not great. My friend who go the halibut was another story. Very over cooked and dry. Our waitress was a nice girl but didn't seem to have a lot of experience. All in all a bit disappointed. read more

Great little spot on Arnold. The pork chop was excellent. Service was excellent. Will definitely be back.

If you're looking for your new local spot, this is it. You definitely get the cozy, family dinner vibes eating here. The staff is kind, attentive and personable; owners are always around to make sure you're having the best dining experience. The food is phenomenal, definitely not something you can get anywhere else with these unique flavors and combinations. Everything is fresh, locally sourced. It's BYO here and the best part is there's a parking lot right across the street! If you haven't tried it here yet, you're missing out. If you're a local, definitely put in for standing reservations because this place books up fast! read more

Food was fresh, but very salty. Not Gluten free friendly. Service was good. Restaurant is very noisy.

This is one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Made a reservation for the patio, but when we arrive we're told was going to be a 25 to 35 minute wait which was really not acceptable. However, we accepted our fate and went inside peace with the fact that there wasn't room for us to sit on the patio outside unless we're willing to wait probably much longer than 25 minutes at any rate we ordered our food very quickly and 35 minutes later even our salad didn't come out after the waitress kept telling us your salad will be right out. The Matt did nothing to accommodate us when I told him I think we're going to leave. He just shrugged your shoulders. I offered to pay for the coke he said oh don't worry about that didn't try to comp us. Didn't try to go into the kitchen to find out what was going on. It was outrageous. I recommend that no one eat here. read more

Member of the clean plate crew!!!! (everything was devoured). Portion sizes were perfect. Did not feel like I was going to explode when leaving. BYOB, but attentive wait staff. read more

We were celebrating our anniversary and love to eat out early. We were the only people there. Tasty food but for a farm-to-table, we were amazed at how greasy the brussel sprouts were. The server was great. Super friendly but not a place we will frequent. read more

Asked our wait person to hold firing our entrees until we asked, she agreed to do. We finished our aps and a few minutes later our meals arrived. I instructed the person who brought them out to return them the kitchen and we would advise when to fire the entree. When we did receive one of the entrees the strip steak was tough as shoe leather. This was supposed be a birthday celebration for our daughter in law. This was the second time I had the same quick service. My first dinner experience it was our 40th wedding anniversary the waitress rushed the food out and we were out of there in 45 minutes. If you want to enjoy a drive through restaurant then this is the place for dinner. read more

The service was very friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. We especially appreciated not feeling rushed through any aspect of our meal. So, that's what my stars are based on. However, we were expecting much more of our food based on the price. They are not very accommodating of allergies and even simple dietary modifications like a request for going light on salt. My entree was so heavily salted it really took away from the high quality of the seafood I had ordered. I had an allergy to one element (eggplant) of the original dish and was told they could remove it but could not substitute another vegetable. Instead I was 'offered' a $13 side. So my meal was $65 when all was said and done. My partner's dish was drowning in oil and he could not get through his meal. He ate a little because he was so hungry and requested some extra bread which sadly was stale. In hindsight we both should have sent our meals back but we didn't want to bring down the celebratory mood of the holiday. He did mention it when our server cleared his plate and saw most of the meal still remaining. They simply said, "oh, I haven't heard that before." I get the sense that the staff is not empowered to do anything in the face of customer dissatisfaction which is sad. Thankfully our other family member was very happy with their meal so we let it go. But considering the prices, I expected a lot more and really wanted to love this place. I was also surprised that for a small, high end, farm to table restaurant, they don't emphasize that aspect. When I think of true farm to table, I think of the ingredients themselves being the true stars vs being hidden by heavy salt and sauces and for the restaurant to offer where their ingredients are sourced or what local purveyors they support. I'm always rooting for new, independent establishments and small businesses to do well at the Jersey Shore but I won't be back anytime soon. It was too expensive given our experience. Very disappointed. read more

Finally was able to try this summer- we had an 8pm reservation and we're sat outside. Nice server offered us a light since it was dark but then we were told it was given to a table inside. Little hard to see our appetizers but the light came for entree. All the food was excellent (salad special, scallops, and lobster pasta) with the exception of the pork belly- serving was small for $20 and the pieces were either completely dry or straight fat. The cornbread was also very dry. Other than those hiccups it was a good experience! read more

atmosphere was like eating in a backroom of a budget dining hall. very loud, stuffy, tables too close together, overpriced mid food, and service was horrid. hard pass, never again. read more
