The view was a fabulous end to a busy day of business. The shrimp was stellar and the wine was fab. We had a wonderful waitress who doted on us all evening. I will definitely go back. More

The Hotel Casa Del Mar is right on the beach, with windows high up so you have the perfect view of what is happening outside on the path and on the beach! The food is great and the ambiance even better!! More

This restaurant has about 6 waiters who stand around and stare at people, yet there's no host to greet you when you walk up. Also, the food and service are slow even though a bunch of the wait staff is standing around. A strange experience. The food is decent, but woefully overpriced (oatmeal for $15? Really?). More

Came here last Saturday for yummy food. We presented our TravelZoo voucher and learned that first few other tables came after us also used these vouchers. Seems they get a lot of business from this type of promo. So $89 discounted pre-fix for two (reg $236) includes 5 course meal. Truffle Artichoke Soup: Mild and sort of plain. Dungeness Crab... More

From start to finish this restaurant impressed. We were here on a Travel Zoo coupon so I cannot speak for the price value, but the service and food were excellent. We were greeted with a delicious glass of champagne and were seated by the window overlooking the beach. For an appetizer I had pumpkin risotto with pieces of lobster, although... More

We went to Catch @ the beautiful Casa del Mar on Saturday night. The food and energy at the restaurant were great. And, if you are lucky enough to get Jeff as your waiter you are guaranteed a fun evening. All tables have great views, the restaurant has a good energy but is quiet enough that you can carry on...

We purchased a dinner package through TravelZoo to try this restaurant out. We had been there before, many years ago when it had another name and decor. We had a five course dinner...artichoke/mushroom soup, I had roasted beet salad with grapefruit segments and a pasta dish, braised in wine short ribs (mouth watering!) with root vegetables. For dessert we shared... More

I had heard a lot about this hotel and restaurant from friends. The location is amazing, right over the boardwalk in Santa Monica, minutes from the pier. The restaurant itself is beautiful with a piano player and extensive fancy cocktail menu. We actually just had drinks here at sunset. The view is unbelievable. And try the jalepeno-ginger cocktail. Amazingly spicy... More

Gf and I had a nice dinner here the weekend before Valentines 2012. I specifically made the reservation as Catch was rated one of the top 10 seafood restaurants in LA by Gayot. Apparently, having 3 fish dishes on the menu means you're a "seafood" restaurant. To be fair, there were additional shellfish dishes on the menu, but only 3... More

To spend $190.00 dollars is a bit excessive, even if the restaurant inside a hotel with diamonds and stars. If it is worth it, then I don't mind it-even in this terrible economy- and I'm not rich. I do mind it it however; when the food and service fail {beyond} miserably. Here are the facts of my bad experience at... More
