Catch is one of our favorite restaurants and because we live in Winchester we feel fortunate to have such a great place so close by. We have been going to Catch ever since it openned and never been disappointed. I do a lot of business entertaining and have taken many international business associates for dinner at Catch. Many of them that visit us on a very regualr basis always ask if we will take them to Catch whenever they are in town.
The menu, as suggested by the name of the place, features mostly seafood but there are always a couple of non-seafood and a vegetarian entrees available. There are about 8 choices of appetizers and an equal number of entrees. THe crab cake appetizer is always good and I have never been disappointed with any of the entress I have tried. The sea scallops topped with small raviolis that have a braised short rib filling is one the restaurant's signatures dishes and never fails to please.
The chef-owner and his wife go out of their way to make dining at their restaurant a pleasure. Although it is a small place it has a relaxed and casual atmosphere. The entire wait staff is very helpful in explaing each dish and offerring suggestions if asked. They have a nice wine list with a wide variety of choices and price points. The desserts are made at the restaurant and are generally very very good. The molten chocolate cake is a standout. I would reccommend reservations, espcially on the weekend but even early in the week the restaurant can be very busy.
Pros: Delicious and varied seafood presented well. Big city creativity in the suburbs.
Cons: Tough to get resrvations at times due to popularity
