If you take the F-line Muni all the way to the end, it turns round at Castro, and here you will just be a stones throw from CATCH.

This restaurant is amid all the bars, coffee shops, and action along Market and Castro. This is a predominantly gay area, so bring an open mind and you will be richly rewarded by the vibrant scene that is Castro

We ate on the covered patio at Catch, which had random heat lamps on to keep the temperature pleasant. It not only has that, but a fireplace in the middle of this "room" added a romantic ambiance.

I started the evening with a couple of mango martinis (expensive at $11 each) and then quickly moved on to the mojitos, which were superb. Me and me husband shared a starter of mussels cooked in pernod sauce, which, funnily enough, were the same price as the aforementioned martini.

The menu was mainly seafood, but there were also chicken and cheeseburger options. We both picked the special, which was a seafood grill of three different fish (ahi tuna, scallops, and a sea bass). For $23, it was the most expensive thing on the menu, but as this was one anniversary dinner we weren’t counting pennies, it was lovely.

Catch is a very trendy little restaurant with flamboyant waiters and really cool/obscure artwork on the indoor walls, as well as aquarium. The poor fish have no idea what's happening to their distant cousins. Everyone was very friendly, and service was quick and helpful.

After stuffing yourselves, walk the food off around the area. It’s very safe at night, and there are lots of little cafés for periodic caffeine stops.

It was one of those rare nights that we actually had a babysitter and were headed off to the city. A friend of ours was reading from his new novel at a bookstore in the Castro. It was a grown-up night with grown-ups! Hurrah!

We got in early and wanted to stop for a nice dinner. We didn't make reservations but thought we would decide once we hit the Castro. We parked the car and walked down Market Street. We went by a new place we had never seen before simply called CATCH. It looked inviting and we decided to give it a try.

When you enter you notice a huge, well stocked bar. There is an outdoor patio area out front with a nice pit fire blazing. Inside the restaurant, it is sophisticated and very upscale. It's very stylish. The waiters all look handsome and the patrons are as well. It has a mostly gay crowd as this is the Castro.

Our waiter was polished and professional. I ordered halibut and beet salad, Chris ordered a char and a house salad.

The food was excellent. The fish was fresh and cooked just right. The sides were unique and appealing. My beet salad was really good.

I felt bad as we were in a bit of a hurry to get to the reading. This was such a great meal and I wished we could have savored it a bit instead of rushing off. I would have loved to see what they had for dessert.

Oh well, this place was good enough to plan another visit. The food was way above average and the service was super. This is why I love living in the bay area, nights like this when you find a new place and leave 100% satisfied.
