The food is amazing. The focaccia bread they bring to the table is wonderful, and the sea bass is absolutely delicious- so good that it's the only thing I've ever ordered! Service has been fantastic whether we've dined in or ordered delivery. read more

You may never guess it driving by, yet this restaurant is staffed with an executive chef, highly experienced professional and friendly service staff. I've dined in and carried out. It's one of my go to restaurants when visiting my mom! The ribeye, brussels sprouts, and fillet are among my favorites. The portion sizes are hearty and flavor exceeds my expectations. read more

Love this fine dining spot with its warm, casual service and great food. Carefully following Covid guidelines, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Sea bass is awesome, filet is excellent. Happy dining! read more

We were in town from St. Pete, playing Black Diamond. We're big foodies and found this gem on Yelp after our round of golf. Me and my two sons went and it was spectacular! For starters, we had the clams, the crab cake and the short rib empanada, all were delicious. For entrees, we did the Ribeye, the Filet and I had the seafood risotto. Again, everything was outstanding! The service was also excellent. We didn't expect to find a restaurant of this caliber in Lecanto, but very glad we did! read more

Katch 22 has become our favorite restaurant whether we go for lunch or dinner . We love the salads and burger s at lunch . Our favorite dinner are there short ribs or fish. We have had excellent service there . I am gluten intolerant and the servers are always wonderful about checking to make sure there is not wheat in something that I order . read more

We had crabcakes, red snapper, Chilean sea bass and finished it off with key lime pie. Everything was so good!

We had a fantastic family dinner here tonight. The food and service were amazing! Add this restaurant to your list.

No reason for anything less than 5 stars! What plesant surprise in this small town. Beet stack and the scallops with bacon jam off the starter menu was WONDERFUL. In town another night just might return. read more

We found this place by chance via Google and Yelp. The area itself isn't anything fancy so I was a little reluctant to eat somewhere with prices of about $20ish dollars or so per plate. Also I hadn't planned on being anywhere remotely dressy so I didn't want to walk in somewhere nice looking like I crawled out of the streets. My husband was determined to try it so I just agreed. Jessica was our waitress. She was very sweet and friendly. We had no idea what we wanted and she insisted we take our time and order on our own pace. We were so indecisive. We did. My son ordered the Seafood Rissoto, I had the crab cakes, and my husband had the special which was Encrusted Sea Bass. We also started with scallops and pork belly. I wasn't expecting much so we started our apps without snapping pics. Now I wish we had snapped proof. The scallops were good but that pork belly....YUM. They were large squared off melt-in-your-mouth, foie gras consistency bites. By the time we got our entrees we all ate off of each others' plates to sample the varying choices. My husbands sea bass was good. My crab cakes were super meaty....very little filler, and had a lemon citrus drizzle over it. Deeee-lish. But my son's risotto-amazing. It had a great smoky balcony flavor with hints of lemon. I think his was the best plate by far. Service was quick, nicely done interior yet with a family friendly ambiance, and amazing food. I felt the portions were somewhat small, but not bad. It was still worth the money. This place is a hidden gem for sure. read more

Finally got to Katch Twenty Two and experienced excellent service and exceptional food. Between the three of us, we had three different starters and three different entrees. Of course, we each thought what we ordered was the best. read more

Went for lunch on a Tuesday. Only ones there were local business people. Three at one table and two at another. I'm thinking perhaps this is common for lunch there, professional people coming from the medical offices nearby. We always thought (based on the appearance of their website) we needed to be dressed a little nicer to go there, so when we had to dress a little nicer for an appointment up that way we stopped for lunch. Don't be intimidated by their super fancy website like we were, it's not a super fancy place. I wouldn't go if I was dressed in shorts and a T-shirt, but we wouldn't dress up as much as we were again. The inside is simple and plain with what appears to be acoustic foam on the walls and ceiling. It's placed in a pleasant pattern to look a little like art I guess. We were told by Jamie to sit anywhere. They have tables with comfy looking chairs on wheels and other tables with chairs that turned out to be not very comfortable and they are small. My husband ordered the Fish Of The Moment sandwich which was Mahi. He ordered it fried. I ordered the House Made Pasta with peas. I have posted pictures. My pasta portion looked small, but had to bring a little bit of it home. The sandwich came with house made fries and they were delicious. My husband said his sandwich was very good and I enjoyed my pasta. Nothing else came with the pasta. Jamie was nice. All in all it was okay. We want to go again for dinner. The domestic beer (in a bottle) was 3.00, which is okay. I won't pay more than 3 for a beer. It's not a very large place so I can see the benefit of making reservations if you're going at a time when restaurants are typically busy. I must add that we were there at lunch time. The menu gets considerably fancier for dinner and I would dress a little nicer for dinner than I did for lunch. read more

Very time we go here we have an outstanding meal. Whether it is fish, fowl or steak, it is always good. Some great wines, too. The decor is much better than it was back in "Rusty Duck" days, they actually have wines (gasp!) and it is one of the best restaurants in Citrus County. read more

Didn't have a good experience at all. Salty food, small restaurant is overrated. Won't return.

It is so nice to have finally found a fine dining restaurant in Citrus County. The food was excellent, service was great.

My new favorite restaurant in the Inverness area. So happy to have found this place after living most of my adult life in the culinarily superior country of Germany. read more

Great food and great service! Kudos to the manager for going above and beyond. I ordered grouper and it was a little under cook for my liking and the manager was apologetic and gave us our choice of desserts and took the entree cost off my bill. read more

Outstanding. Great service, great menu. Everything our foursome had was really spot on delicious. This is the gem of the area.

This is an updated review. Katch 22 just keeps getting better!! The stacked beets with goat cheese was amazing as a starter, and I ended with the best creme brulee I have ever eaten. If you don't live in Lecanto, it's worth the drive!! read more

We went there on Christmas Eve. The food was delicious, it was well prepared with interesting spicing and Garnish. The chef sure knows how to make everything look pretty. The seafood risotto was excellent. It was creamy and flavorful and my mother-in-law was very happy. This is our second time going to this restaurant and when we are in town again we will certainly come back. Very casual attire and very friendly and attentive staff. Thank you everybody read more

We have eaten here several times. Excellent food and service. Decent wine list. Highly recommended.

We went to Ketch Twenty Two in Lecanto FL for dinner. We had sea bass, risotto and ribeye steak. Everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Our waiter Kirk was so pleasant, attentive and very helpful. It was the best food ever. read more

The Crusted Chilean Sea Bass was superb recommend this place to all It wasn't even on the menu for lunch but they made it happen bc that's what I really wanted and I'm not from here and it's not a fish that you can find just anywhere Thanks Again read more

Tonight, I had the immense pleasure of dining at Katch twenty-two and struggle as to where to begin in this review as it truly was an amazing experience, which started at the front door. After a warm welcome, our group was shown to our beautifully arranged table that was prepared prior to our arrival. The wait staff introduced themselves and working as a team took our drink orders and then after our remaining guests arrived began recommending appetizers. We decided on the empanadas, cedar key clams, lobster & scallop ravioli, and pork belly which was beautifully presented and delicious! Our entrees, were simplistically elegant and as we all ordered differently, provided an excellent opportunity to see and hear how delicious all of the days offerings were. I had the incredible pleasure of enjoying the Bistro Tender served with Yukon mash, baby arugula, and wild mushrooms and although not a big meat eater, enjoyed the melt in your mouth beef covered in gently cooked mushrooms. My only regret is that after enjoying our starters and entrees, I was unable to try their homemade sorbet! Katch twenty-two is a rare gem where food isn't overly complicated, instead it's beautifully prepared and served by people who work hard to ensure that your dining experience is memorable! read more

Went here for my birthday dinner for the first time. Service was great food was even better. One of my new favorite places!

This was some of the best food and drinks I've had in a while. The staff was amazing and the environment was great. I highly recommend. I had the shrimp and grits and cheese board! Definitely coming back!!! read more

So, I am not from the Florida area, I was just visiting family. I am from NY area where theres is surplus fine dining available. Before this place I didn't think Florida had any hope in the fine dining department. I found this place on yelp and thought it would be nice to go somewhere that didn't serve crackers and beer. From the moment we walked in until the second we stepped out I was blown away. Especially since I wasn't expecting much I was really thrown off my rocker. Every dish was paired to perfection and displayed with beautiful presentation. I couldn't stop smiling the entire meal! I was so pleased with the whole experience. The chef even came out to our table during the meal. This place is a no brained. Go! You will.l not be disappointed read more

We called and got a table for two last Thursday last minute and let me say it was worth every minute and the drive. The server we had Lori was amazing and made us feel like we did not need to rush and having the restaurant to our selves was amazing, which from what I hear is rare for this to happen! The appetizers we had for starters was the, onion bacon bisque "Wow", pork belly "blessed I have ever tried", and the goat cheese and beet stack was amazing and my hubby who does not like beets loved it! I had the filet which was cooked to perfection and my husband had the salmon we were just blown away by the taste, presentation and the flavor was outstanding. We usually have to travel to Tampa or Orlando to find a fine dinning experience and no more will be need to travel that far. We will be back to try more on the menu to many great options to choose. Come with an appetite and you will not be disappointed. Thank you Lori I hope this was her name she was the best sever and we will be back and will be requesting her. Thank you Katch 22!!!!! read more

Wow! The food was amazing! I had the crab cakes and grouper dish. The flavor was fantastic. I seriously wanted to lick my plate clean. My husband had a chicken dish and he was also impressed! I highly recommend the place. Be sure to call ahead for a reservation. read more

Under whelming and pricey. I paid $34 for the paella. What a disappointment. The rice was dry and tasteless. 2 shrimp, 2 scallops, 4 clams and a small piece of lobster. Not worth it. My husband had two small pieces of short ribs. He was starving by the time we drove home. read more

Great food horrible atmosphere very very noisy very small dinning room. Nice variety on the menu. Seafood steak. If you have trouble hearing in crowds you will not enjoy your experience read more

A hidden gem. Great food and wonderful service. Lots of healthy choices! Will most certainly come back the next time we're in the area!

Have only eaten here once but everything was fantastic. Derbies was very good and the ambiance is very earthmoving and inviting. Everything is made fresh. Well worth the price. The lobster ravioli appetizer is a must have! read more

I ordered the "fish of the moment." This poor fellow must have been having the worst moment of his life. To me, "fresh" means freshly caught and cooked, not freshly defrosted from a portion controlled restaurant supply company. Bottom line: You can't fake fish. Even in Citrus County. read more

If it were possible to give six stars, I would definitely do that. The shrimp and grits were awesome. I can't say anymore about it they were just awesome. My friend had the crab cake sandwich, which The state of Maryland would have been proud to claim. Fresh brewed iced tea topped off the meal and then of course we had to try the desserts ! Perfect Keylime pie and not green the perfect nice proper yellow color, and Creme Brulé, both excellent ! I'll definitely try dinner next time, lunch was amazing thank you all. read more

We've only been here once but we have every intention of going back. Wonderful food and staff. The atmosphere was nice. Great daily selection and a nice array of specials. Can not wait to go back and try something new. read more
