Expensive, but elegant. The table and service ard top shelf, but the food seemed to miss the mark. We ordered whole crab, and I paid an upcharge assuming I'd get the best they had to offer. In the end, the crab seemed over cooked and dry. Very disappointing. The serving staff did their best, but I'm afraid the kitchen execution was a fail. With so many options for dinner, you sometimes only get one chance. You either deliver or hope your reputation keeps you afloat. Good luck. read more

Outstanding service, decent wine menu, great prices. Fresh seafood and some steaks are the specialties...ambiance matches the menu and is pretty chill. All around great experience! read more

I have dined at this restaurant before. The food was top-notch. When I came back for the second time, we were late, for the last appointment available, and were turned away at the door. Yes, it's our fault that we arrived late, but to be turned away because a matter of a few minutes? I will never come back here again. read more

Went to this place on Mother's Day! The wait was not long, was seated within 10mins. Pleasant ambience. We placed our orders right away because we were hungry. I ordered the Maryland crab cake for appetizer and shrimp and lobster bisque soup. Both the crab cake and the soup was delicious. I had to order a second plate of the crab cake. For the main dish, I ordered the grill which has shrimp, lobster, and salmon with asparagus in a lemon sauce. My husband ordered the rib eye steak. My food was a good portion and very tasty. The rib eye was grilled to perfection but lacked seasoning. This was easily fixed by the table salt and pepper. For desert we ordered the cream brûlée. That was also very good, though the plate used to serve it made it look bigger than it actually was. All in all, we had a good time and it was a good Mother's Day dinner for me! I would highly recommend this place. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Catch 35. I honestly can't believe I grew up in Naperville and just now am paying them a visit. Thank you Naperville Restaurant Week for the nudge! Hubbie and I were sat at a great booth next to the wall length window that allows you to see the chefs busy in the kitchen. Although it took way too long for us to initially be greeted, our waitress was super nice and helpful throughout our meal. We both ordered off the restaurant week menu which was a great deal. They actually offer a prix fix option on their regular menu too which is good to know for the future. To start, I had the Maine lobster bisque which was amazing. Smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of lobster chunks and sherry whipped cream. For my main entree I chose the oscar style filet mignon medallions with Maine lobster, béarnaise sauce, asparagus, and mashed potatoes. Man oh man! I am still dreaming of this meal. The filet mignon was seriously the best piece of meat I've ever had and the lobster on top was perfection. The veggies were also delicious. At this point I was getting very full (ate too much of the fresh bread we were given!), but dessert was a must. We had the flourless chocolate cake which had a warm hazelnut center, topped with crushed hazelnuts, and some finished with some sort of raspberry like jam. SO GOOD. The dessert was the perfect size and sweetness. They were pretty busy on a Friday night, so I'd be sure to make a reservation! Keep in mind they also make a great old fashioned and mojito :) read more

Service was good and food was just ok. This place is overpriced for what you get. I would say that overall I was very underwhelmed. The drinks were not great, our schzwan scallops were good but nothing amazing like the waitress made It sound and the seafood platter and sea bass were just OK. For what we paid and for having just ok food, I won't be coming back. read more

Another visit... Another 5 star rating. Mauricio was our server again... Such a nice guy and knowledgeable about the food. Rex and I both ordered a cup of shrimp bisque to start. More shrimp than I expected. It was very flavorful. For my entree, I ordered the sea scallops over short rib hash... Delicious!! Rex ordered the Chilean sea bass over Asian barley salad. It was covered with a Hawaian glaze. It too was yummy!! Would order both again. The portions were small but for lunch, not bad. read more

My co-workers raved about Catch 35 so it only made sense to give it a try. We made reservations for 7 on a Thursday night and my it was quite empty, should I be worried I thought? They had a $44 Restaurant Week menu but no $33? Oh wait no, their $33 menu is actually only $27, what a great deal! We were greeted by an enthused server who let us know that he had a trainee shadowing him, which was no problem for us. I'm thinking great we have a fun server, our experience is going to be good, but boy was I wrong. Once we placed our drinks and food and kindly asked for bread, we were told the bread isn't brought out until appetizers are, but yet all the other tables around us who clearly still had their menus and were seated after us had breads on their table.. what the? So we kindly asked can we get it beforehand since we were all hungry. 10 minutes, 15 minutes still no bread and no server to be found. We eventually had to ask someone else for it. Finally drinks and starters began to roll out and our server and trainee magically shows up. Unfortunately for one of our co-workers she was forgotten the whole night, from her starter to her ending coffee. The food was either delivered after everyone else or forgotten entirely. Don't let the slow service fool you, the food is delicious. I had the shrimp and crab bisque, not too heavy and a good amount of crab meat. A co-worker and I split the grilled atlantic salmon and the Georges Bank Haddock (Blue crab, crispy panko, ginger chili sambal). My oh my, that Georges Bank Haddock he was scrumptious; packed with flavor and crispy crunch from the panko. The blue crab was the icing on topped. YUM! The grilled salmon was a simple grilled salmon you can get just about anywhere, nothing stood out. For dessert I ended up with the pecan pie and vanilla icing. That my dear friend was the Queen of desserts, I was so full but yet I still manage to devour this delectable sweet goodness. Overall, the food was done very well and worth the $27 prix fixe, however, the service was so bad it left a bad taste in our mouth at the end. read more

My first trip to Catch 35. Very pleased. The waitress was very helpful with the menu. I changed my mind due to her review of the items. I went with the mixed grill of Salmon, shrimp, and a tail. Served hot and perfectly cooked. Oysters raw were good, I am a purest and only use lemon and a few grains of salt, but I tried the other offerings and they would be worthy. My friend had the Risotto and was very happy with her choice. Only two small changes: shrimp in Bisque was hammered, maybe add at last minute by serving? Dessert menu needs some inspiration. Staff at the door needs to be more attentive, stand up maybe? I will be back. read more

In all the years I have lived in Naperville I had never eaten in this downtown staple, holding court on one of the major corners, so my parents chose it for a special occasion. We went early in the evening so it was still fairly empty. Yet the hostess did the maddening move of seating us right on top of another table, so we were treated to some big-mouth yammering throughout our meal about his mission trip and his church and blahblah. My mom is very quiet, and after I said "I CAN'T HEAR YOU" a couple of times, I think the woman at that table got the drift and told her companion to tone it down, which worked for about five seconds. Sigh. Since we'd already been established at the table it was hard to move, but restaurant staff, let me make this clear: I do not care if the waiter has to walk a few extra steps. If we are paying big bucks to eat with you, patrons do not want to be in the lap of other diners when the restaurant is nearly empty. This is not entitlement, this is logic. My shrimp and scallops were fine, and the key lime pie was good, though for their "signature" dessert it was not outstanding. But what was memorable about the meal was the jerk at the next table. I'd just as soon throw this catch back. read more

I've never been as big a fan as some about this chain, mostly based on price. They do 'engineer' some of the best seafood dishes around and when you live in the Midwest, expectations for seafood should probably ratchet down a notch, but when you compare the value of a great piece of meat at a first quality steakhouse, versus a great piece-fish at a place like C35, I feel like I really need to be in the mood for seafood and/or come into an unexpected sum of money to justify the experience. I was very much in the mood for an authentic lobster roll and I suppose going to C35 for lunch instead of dinner is a way to appease both your sense of taste and your sense of fiscal responsibility! Cutting to the chase then, the lobster split roll was almost pretzel-like on one side, buttery and crispy outside, soft and chewy inside...which made up for the fact that the lobster itself was very slightly over-cooked and under portioned. We sat at the bar and also had the Siracha Shrimp Roll and the shoestring fries - both items were delectable and suffice it to say we were both pleased and appeased food-wise. read more

Fantastic restaurant! We had the Chilean bass and it was perfect! The staff is also great and attentive to your experience Thank you much, Brian read more

The food was really good! I went on Easter and sat at the bar. The bartenders were social but also let you enjoy your food. I will definitely recommend and I'm sure I'll be making another appearance myself. Only downfall was they didn't have any Louisiana hot sauce for my oysters lol but they were still very good without the hot sauce. read more

No longer do halal menu :( this is so disappointing since they had amazing chicken and the steak was so good too!

I ordered a seafood grill from here for lunch. Pretty expensive order for mid day but I was really craving Catch. Unfortunately, the shrimp were rubber, the lobster tail was mushy and the salmon was burnt. I'm giving 2 stars cause the cheddar biscuits were still bangin. That said, I shouldn't have any complaints about a 40 dollar seafood lunch from a seafood restaurant. Unacceptable. read more

Great seafood and excellent service. We had the prix fix menu and were not disapointed. Started with the crab bisque and crab chowder. This was the first time I have ever had tender clams in my chowder. I had the whitefish over spinach and mashed pototoes which was tender, flaky and seasoned perfectly. My daughter had the crab encrusted tilapia. Very good although I felt the crab was a bit overpowering. My sister who is the true fish foodie had the ruby red trout. It was not to my taste, but an excellent fish overall. We finished the meal up with white chocolate creme brulee (amazing), key lime pie (WOW! thought I was in the Keys again!), and I had the molten chocolate cake. All deserts are made in house and it shows. We were also there on half price wine night. The server suggested a perfect bottle of wine for the meal. Very crisp and clean. A wonderful meal and outstanding service. read more

Utter trash. I got a filet mignon as part of a meal and it was so dry, it was frankly unbelievable. I've had better steaks at Waffle House in the middle of nowhere. I pointed out the issue, and because I had eaten 1oz of the 4oz filet, they couldn't take it back. But they didn't actually say it, they instead said they'd "check with the manager" and eventually just passively aggressively did nothing. Filet was $18 and they took off $12 "in good faith". Get wrecked. This place should go out of business. read more

I chose Catch 35 for an intimate family dinner on our wedding. Our server did a great job accommodating our party that were largely comprised of non-english speaking family members! Being Asian almost everyone ordered from the prix fixe menu. My husband ordered the filet mignon with blue cheese and I got the lemongrass shrimp and scallop. I also tried some grilled salmon and yellowfin tuna sashimi. While everything tasted good, my favorite was the tuna sashimi. For dessert I got the key-lime pie, but I liked the creme brulee my husband got better. The pecan pie was also highly raved by our party although I didn't get to try it. My mom said the pecan pie reminded her of baklava! Great atmosphere, food, and service! read more

I came here with a group of about 17 people. They were very nice and the service was accommodating. I sampled a mix of appetizers and they were all very good. My favorite was probably the tuna and the Szechwan Scallops. I've never had scallops prepared that way and it was refreshing to try a new preparation. The waitress kept the white wine pouring. However, it did bother me that she never asked if I wanted to try a different drink. I didn't have a chance to tell her that I preferred red over white and she just kept pouring me white. I had the Oscar Style Block Island Swordfish. Very good. No complaints there. I would love to come back to try their seabass. read more

Not impressed. Pros: They have gluten-free bread and the shrimp/crab bisque soup was stellar. Cons: Banquet hall style of dining, no charm. Just felt odd. WAY over-priced. Insane. My husband got fried shrimp and fries for $30. And it didn't taste that much different from Joes Crab Shack. We didn't order more food because I wasn't into the menu. Example: I asked for scallops. The dish is served on cow hash. Ok, I don't eat cow. And since when do those 2 proteins go together? I asked about the size of the scallops and he said the serving was "4-8 ounces" total. And that's a little bit bigger than a bay scallop. I'm looking for SEA scallops, like I can make at home (expensively) but if you're charging a pretty penny... you gotta give a SEA scallop. So. You're called "CATCH 35". Why don't you have a dish of normal scallops prepared with pizazz and then charge $35? read more

We went there last night, the first time after the COVID pandemic. The food is good and the service is good. We ordered Szechwan crab cake and taco as starters, short rib, skirt steak, scallops & crab risotto for main entries, with a bottle of prosecco. The food is delicious, the drink is good too :) read more

Ate here years ago and it was great. I was craving the crab bisque so I stopped by last night. No more crab bisque, I ordered the shrimp bisque instead and it was Ok. I also ordered the crab burgers and they had no taste, the fries had no salt. I had a virgin mojito that tasted like sierra mist soda with some wilted mint floating on top. Not sure what happened to this place. I will not return. Paid over 40 for a very mediocre dinner for one person. read more

Great ambiance and the grilled salmon was delicious! I also enjoyed the veggies, red potatoes, and key lime pie Martini. I tried the Bumba Rum Mojito wayyy too strong and too much soda water for me. This mojito was not sweet enough either. read more

I recently was surprised with a 40th birthday dinner here. It was amazing! We had a small back part of the restaurant blocked off by a curtain so we had a privet experience. All the staff was friendly. Our waitress was unbelievably good, between dealing with a food allergy and my niece who was 3 and food and drink recommendations she was alway great. The food was AMAZING!We started with appetizers, we had a build your own plate app that had coconut shrimp, calamari and mini crab cakes and then we also had the pan seared Szechuan scallops, these were the most amazing scallops I have ever had. We had 5 people order Steak and they wee all impressed, 1 person ordered tacos again very good, 2 people ordered the Cath 35 mixed grill, one of them thought the salmon was too "fishy" (duh??) so the other person who ordered the same thing took it, but otherwize that was a hit, and I had the shrimp and scallop risotto, it was good just next time I come I might try something else cause it was very heavy. The one side that everyone who tired it agreed was to die for was the Brussels sprouts. I could have been happy just ordering a plate of those and nothing else they were so good. read more

My sister & I went for lunch today & it was so amazing! We had the crispy lemon chicken & the yellowtail tuna. Both were very flavorful & the staff was super helpful & friendly. All seats were spaced out & we felt very safe. read more

The food was average. We were expecting better meals from this place. The $48 ribeye had a taste of burnt grill. The risotto was tasteless. The scallops were decent. The deserts were awful. We ordered the lava cakes and is was like we got microwaved lava cakes from Walmart. The drinks were good! We enjoyed the Aperol and the Manhattan. Overall, we did not enjoy it, even though the service was good. Out of 6 people, only one was satisfied with the experience. We will definitely not come back. read more

Fantastic dinner at Catch 35! I think it may be my new favorite restaurant in Naperville. It was the best crab-filled shrimp I have ever had. Our server was Elena, and she too was outstanding. read more

We enjoyed our lobster tails, fish tacos and crab cake appetizer. The Brussels sprouts were just okay - same with the quinoa. The sides with the entrees were wildly small - we had it to go, and we almost thought our entree sides were missing. They were in tiny containers typically used for butter. At the price point I would expect just a little more. We also ordered the cheddar and chive biscuits which our kids enjoyed (as did the adults!). read more

This review is coming a week late. Sorry Brent. Let me just start by saying that Brent is just such a great server with an eloquent taste in food and drinks! We started off with a dozen oysters, they were without a doubt fresh and delicious. We also had the wedge salad, which was scrumptious. But the main reason we will continue to come to Catch 35???? The Chilean Sea Bass, I think I shed a tear when I took the first bite......Ok, I didn't but it was heaven! The perfect bite, the perfect fish, cooked by the perfect kitchen staff, served by the perfect server! Our wine went perfect with it as well. I look forward to coming back and enjoying another dinner with you all! Thank you! read more

Worst service and most tasteless food of the week.. I suggested this place to my husband. He didn't want to go because he had subpar service here a few years ago. After some persuasion, he caved. Unfortunately, he was correct. Asked our server for bread 4 times, still waiting on that bread. . . The almost lobster tail was dry. The whitefish was the same. Paid the bill and left. One star because the wine was amazing. read more
