Went to Catch Miami at the James Royal Palm
Hotel at 15th and Collins. Catch is a hot New York restaurant from
successful restaurateurs and nightclub operators, the EMM Group. The chef is Hung
Huynh who won Top Chef in 2007.
We got there at 8 pm and it was not full at
all and as such we were able to sit at their outside terrace. By 10 pm the
place was roaring. We had front row seats to an amazing contest as to who can
wear the shortest dress with the longest heals and legs. It made Prime 112 look
like a convent dinner. What a scene!
And the food was also amazing. Those who
had sushi said it was the best they had ever had. Everything was great. They
did have 2 steak dishes and 1 crispy chicken dish for those who do not like
fish. And the desserts looked absolutely amazing also but I was still on my New
Year’s diet resolution so I did not partake.
I was worried about the service, as they
just opened and a friend told me the service was terrible a few nights earlier,
but our service was amazing with great servers.
The bill was $195 per couple including tip
and lots of drinks by the group. I parked across the road for $10 in public
parking.
I’m giving it a 9.5/10 which is heavily
weighted by the ‘show’ although the
food was amazing.
Had to deduct a half point for the bathroom
attendant which I hate!
