One of the outstanding things about dining on the Las Vegas Strip is that, in many instances, it’s an experience, and this is so true with one restaurant in particular—Catch. From the moment you lay eyes on the entrance, right off the hotel’s grand lobby, you know you’re in for something special. You start by walking through an 80-foot-long, tunnel-like pergola blossoming with a rainbow-colored explosion of florals, plants and lights (this spot has had so many selfie moments that its hashtag has thousands of posts on Instagram).
The tunnel leads into a multiroom dining space, where guests can take a seat at the main bar and spacious, loungelike front room or take it more upscale with a roomy booth in the main dining room, adorned with a ginormous, re-created Mediterranean olive tree lit up with huge, glowing bulbs. For an extra special experience, ask to book one of the birdcage booths.
Now, on to the menu, because the food is just as eye-popping and deliciously fun as the space. The restaurant’s modus operandi when it comes to food is taking the yummiest parts of Asian cuisine and inventively marrying them with seafood, sushi and steak dishes (with some tasty vegetarian options, too).
Starters that satisfy include the crunchy rice cakes that look like little loaves of bread, the hellfire roll with spicy tuna, pear and balsamic, and the ever-popular Catch roll, made with crab, salmon and a specially made miso honey sauce. Hot dishes that deserve some attention include the wagyu gyoza, filet skewers, king crab tempura and the popular A5 Japanese Miyazaki wagyu, thinly sliced and cooked at the table on a signature hot stone.
For main dish options, Catch delivers a bounty of seafood like Cantonese lobster, sautéed wild-caught snapper and herb-roasted branzino. For turf lovers, a New York strip or filet will satisfy (or share with your sweetie the gargantuan 36-ounce tomahawk).
Finish off the night with the visually cool and deliciously chocolatey Hit Me chocolate cake, a stack of dulce de leche ice cream, brownie and devil’s food cake, topped with a Klondike bar and drizzled with chocolate syrup.
