Catch 35 is a nice restaurant located on Wacker Drive just across the street from the Chicago Riverwalk. The service was great and ambience is nice. The food was just okay to me. Not really much to write home about. The salmon was good! The ice cream reminded me of the great value brand at Walmart 🥴 Nevertheless, it’s worth a try and you judge it for yourself.

Had a great meal before a show. Food was excellent and came out quickly from the kitchen. All the food had great flavor and texture, very fresh. Presentation was awesome as well. Staff were friendly and helpful. A small jazz trio performed and it created an amazing atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Best meal I've had in Chicago so far! They were close to the hotel so my coworker and I decided to give them a try. Had the seared tuna and the scallops for appetizers and were delighted by both dishes. They were fresh, well prepared and cooked to perfection. 🤌🏾 I opted for the Sea Bass with the cilantro lime rice. The fish had a slight crust at the bottom but was still like buttery silk and fork tender. 😋 I've never had rice prepared so well at a restaurant before and this is now my new gold standard. Seasoned well enough that you didn't need to add anything but not so much that you couldn't if you wanted to and moist without being mushy. 🥲 The drinks were very solid and i dug the art and atmosphere. 💪🏾 Stop in if you get the chance.

The best beef short ribs I have ever had. They were tender and so flavorful. I also enjoyed my Strawberry Bubbly Margarita. My husband said his swordfish was just ok. It wasn’t very flavorful. The menu indicated that it is pan seared, however, it didn’t appear to have much of a sear at all. (Refer to photo)

The location is downtown Chicago, so you already know the parking situation. The food is delicious and delightful! My salmon was cooked to perfection! The brussel sprouts were my favorite thing! Dessert was a bonus, no complaints. Spacious, lots of seating sections. Wonderful staff!

Super classy restaurant to enjoy a wonderful meal. Amazing dining room especially with the live music. Plates are full and beautifully put together. The only negative - the menu is so good, it's difficult to choose one dish. You'll most likely have to come back multiple times. Highly recommended!

Food is fabulous. Very fresh seafood, menu reasonably price, and food is well worth it. Friendly staff, attentive to allergy issues and ensured all proper precautions were taken. No reservation or wait to get seated. Very short wait from time of order until food arrived. Will definitely go here again when back in Chicago.

Nice restaurant with modern but not overly sophisticated decor. My server was very attentive and pleasant. I ordered the Shrimp bisque (it was ok, but lacked a flavor punch) I also ordered Trio which comes with Salmon, Shrimp and a half lobster tail. The lobster was extremely tender, sweet and delicious. The shrimp were bland (needed more seasoning) and the salmon was pretty standard. Overall the service was really good but on a whole the food was average at best. I’d go back for the service and definitely for the lobster.

Our server recommended the tuna toastitas to start, scallop & short rib hash, and surf & turf as mains. We added a side of mashed potatoes to the hash. Delicious. And surprisingly fast. Kitchen was a bit noisy, overpowering the love music. Ambiance felt like hustle and bustle of the holidays. I highly recommend the pecan tart with sorbet for dessert. Large portion; perfect for sharing. We declined coat check but surprisingly, no draft throughout restaurant. Valet was efficient and filled with the holiday spirit.

The seafood was fresh and the experience was wonderful. The portions are on the smaller side 4oz instead or 6/8 oz. We had the charred octopus - excellent! The spicy sauce with yogurt and basil will grilled octopus was amazing! Chopped dinner salad was as expected. We had the mixed grill (photo below) 4 oz salmon, shrimp skewer and lobster tail with side of spinach - order this as well. The twin lobster tails were perfectly cooked but not enough food for a meal. The side dishes came on the plate instead of family style and we shouldve ordered more food and taken home leftovers. The service was excellent, we were constantly cared for. It's a busy place, make a reservation.

Food was delicious, Every item was good! They had live music and we were seated right away.

The food is delicious and the patio has a nice atmosphere. I had the cup of seafood gumbo, a strawberry bubbly margarita, and my entree was braised short rib and crab stuffed shrimp with crispy brussels sprouts. Everything tasted amazing. My waiter was very attentive and positive.

The food was just good, definitely not a 5 star restaurant. Unfortunately, I got food poisoning after eating there (probably the oysters). The portions were quite small, but only looked big (e.g. creme brulee was in a dish that made an illusion of being bigger). Extra points for the live music and a grandpiano inside.

From the time that I walked in during lunch hour, until the time that we left, service was very friendly, professional, and prompt. It's restaurant week and I visited for the $25 lunch special. The appetizers were awesome, and the gumbo is to die for, just the right amount of spice and full of meat. I had the blackened salmon with the Brussel sprouts. The glaze that they put on there is amazing. Almost eye rolling every bite of food. And then for dessert, I had key lime pie. Not too sweet, very good. What I loved about it is that they had SEVERAL options to choose from for starters, entrées and dessert. Plus you could choose your side. Most places give you this or that during this promotional time. They didn't skimp on the portions either. It's the same amount of food they serve at full price. Phenomenal. I'll be back next week to switch up the menu. Great service, great atmosphere, great food. You can't go wrong

A fine restaurant with several seating options near (louder) or far (quieter)from the live entertainment. The staff are attentive and readily available. The atmosphere is modern art decor and spacious. Recommend taking your date or friends here for lunch or dinner. Good selection of cocktails, beer, and wine. Nice seafood selection prepared very well. We split the mixed grill seafood and 2 sides between two people and found the portions to be substantial.

The food was delicious and high quality, furthermore the service was excellent. I can highly recommend this place if you want to have a good quality dinner

My husband and I went for date night letter C. The food was good, the server was on point, and I loved the live music.

Catch 35 is fine. It features a focused, well-priced seafood menu in a posh, polished space a stones throw away from Chicago’s iconic River Walk. Our visit featured a choppy server handoff that dampened our experience. Our original server was an effective guide who navigated us through the menu and offered key recommendations (all of which turned out to be spot-on). But the service quickly soured with a replacement server who lacked such direction and an overattentive bus staff that created a rushed atmosphere, despite the venue being mostly empty. The food was divisive, with some dishes being aggressively average (the Crab-Stuffed Shrimp, the Scallops, the Atlantic Salmon) and others that I’m still salivating over (the Chilean Sea Bass, seared Tuna Sashimi, and Risotto.) In general, Catch 35’s best dishes featured an Asian spin on fish. Catch 35 is a place you stumble upon after a long day of walking or a quick bite before a show— it’s clearly an established, well-oiled machine that will satisfy most folks. But it’s not a must-visit spot in a town known for its food.

It’s a nice place to go to celebrate a birthday or special event. The atmosphere is nice and classy, and the restrooms were very clean. However, the issue was with the food. My party of four all agreed that the portions were extremely small and well undersalted. However, the oysters and Calamari were delicious. Wouldn’t be my first choice if I was offered to come back.

Really courteous staff. Calamari fry was just brilliant. Shrimp bisque was alright. Atlantic salmon was good. Fish and chips could have been better.

The food was amazing and the service somehow surpassed it! Carlos was fun to interact with, helpful with recommendations and patient with the picky eaters in our group. As much as I like to try new places and avoid repeats on vacation, it would be difficult not to revisit this place.

A scrumptious menu that is varied in it's options but at the same time sooo tasty 😋. We were celebrating my husband 's birthday and picked a place of his choice. It was an amazing dinner. Toffee bread pudding and creme brulee were a perfect ending .An amazing service was provided by Bolibar.He went over all of the menu making it easier for us to make a choice.loved the crab cakes and Lobster.👍👍No Valet service. They do validate a parking ticket ($14)if you park in the lot across from Goodman theater.

Only a handful of establishments excel at enhancing the flavor of seafood, and Catch 35 stands among them. The dishes were truly delectable; even my uncle, who ordered steak, attested to its mouthwatering taste. My sister’s burger was also very good. The mashed potatoes were impeccably done, and everyone relished their meals. I'm eagerly anticipating my next visit, despite our server not being the most welcoming. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

I took my wife here for her 40th birthday, and we loved everything about the place. We definitely will be back. The drinks were great, the staff was upbeat and just wonderful. The food was soooo delicious. The scallops were perfect. I didn't even expect my ribeye to be that delicious at a seafood joint, but I was wrong. Love love love this place. Thank you for a wonderful meal and experience.

Always delicious. Have never had a bad meal here. Today we had the calamari and shrimp bisque soup. Absolutely delicious. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. If you’re lucky you’ll come on a night with jazz musicians keeping the vibe of the place very cool.

My birthday dinner .The Catch 35 mix -lobster tail ,shrimp,salmon ,& mashed potatoes. My husband had crispy fish sandwich, coleslaw and fries both meals were pretty good except the shrimp was over cooked. And the live jazz band good.

The menu here is printed daily to reflect what deliveries they received. Everything we had was divine. Our waiter was a professional. He was funny, knew everything there was to know about the menu and made sure we were out in time for our show. I wanted brussle sprouts instead of beans with my Halibet and they were great about accommodating that. Plus they brought out the sauce that would have been on the beans to pour on the halibut. The Halibut and Tuna were our favorite entrees. The lobster tail that came with the Catch 35 Combo plate was melt in your mouth delicious. The octopus appetizer with Greek yogurt was a burst of flavor. Definitely were pleased with our meal and the service. Around 8 pm live music was starting to set up in the bar.

Excellent service from Angel! Generous management when things weren't perfect. Great wine selection. The food selection, however, was not as diverse as the last time I went, and I was only moderately happy with my whitefish. I'll definitely go back to try again though.

Came here to celebrate my birthday and I was not dissapointed. The service was quick (and I mean QUICK): placed an appetizer and it came a few minutes later. The same with the main course. The food was hot and fresh and I wanted to order more food, but I saved room for a delicious dessert/birthday cake. Would recommend and want to come back soon.

This place is “dated” in a way that makes it still feel so cool. I love stepping in from the best Chicago views to be transported into a mid century palace filled with jazz. If there’s live music as you dine at night - even more incredible. My family comes here for many a special occasion. The light fixtures alone could bring me back, but the food and incredible service help.

My friend and I went for the first time and experienced Chicago Restaurant week. We had been wanting to go anyway but I think this gave us more of an excuse to go. We ended up doing the lunch special and definitely worth it for a three course meal!! He had the lobster bisque, atlantic salmon, and gelato. I had the potstickers, burger, and key lime pie. I was pretty much full by the time I got to the entree, because we also had the complimentary sourdough bread and I had gotten the strawberry margarita. Very tasty! The ambiance was perfect too. Definitely would come again!

It recently Reopened—a good place before theatre. Food could be slightly better, but it's a challenging hospitality environment at the moment.

Great staff, attentive and nice. Food great! Great service! Phenomenal staff!! The restaurant was very clean all staff wearing masks. Very accommodating. Great fresh fish, cooked to perfection.
