After receiving an electronic tablet complete with drink choices (cocktails to start before we moved onto wine and cava), we are presented with the food menu. \u00a0We decide to opt for the Catch Signature Sushi Platter<\/em> (AED169), because, sushi. \u00a0Although there is a rather extensive list of sushi, sashimi, and nigiri, I think this was probably the best choice. \u00a0With beautiful presentation and just enough for two diners, I would quickly order this plate again (and kudos to the team for the offer of fresh wasabi). \u00a0I also am a fine dining connoisseur who unabashedly loves crispy, spicy rock shrimp<\/em> (yup, it was worth the judging) and was very happy with the serving that was presented. \u00a0My dining partner (a guest appearance by my sister visiting from the States – yay!) had done a small amount of research on social media and decided we would have to try the Instagram-worthy Crab Burger<\/em> (AED89). \u00a0While I think many diners might be put off by the squid ink buns, to me they add such a mild flavor, the impact is minimal. \u00a0If anything, I’d like a toastier bun and maybe a slightly reduced price (or a third burger). \u00a0We were also given a delicious and stunning ceviche. \u00a0For our round of starters, points all around for pacing, service, and general atmosphere. \u00a0We never felt rushed, and speaking with the servers was like talking to a group of friends.<\/p>\n For a main, after looking through the options, I settled on the Seared Scallops<\/em> (AED179). \u00a0You will definitely<\/em> be seeing this dish on my July favorites list. \u00a0Everything that is good about sweet and tender scallops was enhanced by wild rice risotto and some additional delicate textures. \u00a0Furthermore, given the amount of food we’d already consumed, this was a perfect dish to split. \u00a0Certainly, it can be for one diner, but overall, of the many things I loved about the venue, was how easily the plates were shared.<\/p>\n Although we were nearly\u00a0full, it would be rude to leave without sampling dessert, yes? \u00a0The Melting Chocolate Sphere (AED69) ended the meal on a dramatic, sweet note — but that’s not all. \u00a0Chef Roudy (who was generous enough to speak with us at length during the evening) also gave a sneak preview of an upcoming dessert that will be available later in the year. \u00a0Suffice to say, I think you’ll definitely be interested in a lighter finish to any meal (the Yuzu sorbet is out of this world).<\/p>\n Would I go back to Catch? \u00a0You bet! \u00a0This venue is a guaranteed winner for a date night, anniversary, birthday, or any special occasion. \u00a0I’d also love to come back and try the Friday brunch!<\/p>\n Have you visited Catch? \u00a0What’s your favorite dish on the menu?<\/p>\n Highly recommended.<\/p>\n A to Za’atar was a guest of Catch. \u00a0Opinions are my own, just ask my husband.<\/em><\/p>\n
