Visited Catch 27 for my birthday dinner. Started with the Deviled eggs blt with southern fried oysters, also had some chorizo stuffed mushroom special. Both are excellent, but those deviled eggs! Wows!! For dinner, my husband I both had the Florida cioppino, which was perfection. I received a complimentary birthday chocolate dessert also. Lovely small indoor area. Tastefully decorated and intimate. Larger seating area outdoors. Very good service.
Loved this place. Made a reservation for 2, 7pm for our Anniversary. Lovely card with a "Happy Anniversary" on the table was present when we arrived. Our server was lovely. She knew her menu and was very pleasant. She even gave us few recommendations to browse around in St. Augustine. We ordered Grits and Shrimp & Lemon Risotto. Flavors were balanced and delicious. Best food we had in St. Aug. Definitely recommend this place for a nice dinner outing.
Went here for a surprise birthday dinner. Very small and intimate atmosphere. For the appetizer we got the crab cake. It was ok, maybe because it wasn't super hot coming out? Idk but it wasn't the best crab cake I've ever eaten. For the entrees due to me not eating pork I tried the blackened shrimp pasta. It actually was really good. Also tried the braised short rib, that was delicious! Just a small portion. But probably the best dish between the two. Also for dessert I did receive a birthday dessert. But I really wanted to try the dark chocolate crème brûlée and that was pretty tasty. The service was ok as well. I will try again in the future.
Amazing and I highly recommend the fried oysters on deviled eggs. The food was great with the exception of their version of paella seafood was overcooked. Everything else is wonderful on the menu. Looking forward to coming back.
Good spot, good food nice adult beverage selection too. Service was fast and friendly. Mahi was cooked perfectly
I am a vegetarian but I make sure I visit Catch 27 every time I visit St. Augustine. Catch 27 offers both indoor and outdoor seating, but without a reservation, I doubt you will find a table during usual dinner hours. It is deservedly a very popular place! On my most recent visit, I had a 6:30pm dinner reservation. My companion and I arrived on time and were seated within 30 seconds. The hostess was charming, efficient and attentive, as were all of the staff members with whom I interacted or observed. There is a noticeable un-Floridian sophistication to the team and it is refreshing to experience it. As noted above, I do not eat meat, but I have never had any challenges eating at Catch 27. My companion and I started with a trio of dips (avocado, pico and something very cheesy but surprisingly light) served with tortilla chips. Having already walked about 15 miles around the area by the time we got to dinner, we needed little prompting to devour the appetizer. It was very simple, very good, and executed just a simple appetizer should be executed. We knew what we wanted and that is exactly what we got. We washed down our appetizer, and the entrees that followed, with a pitcher of sangria. It was delightfully flavorful and refreshing. The bartender made the sangria fresh and I wish I could recite everything he put into the carafe, but at some point, I felt I was watching a chemist at work and just gave up. So many bottles and jiggers! For my entree, I thoroughly enjoyed a summer risotto. The risotto was well prepared and delicately seasoned. It included summer squash and corn in the risotto itself, and was served with fresh asparagus. The asparagus was the star, but the other vegetables provided a nuanced sweetness to the dish. The full effect was delicious!
The bartender and server was awesome. I loved their ginger drink. Food was alright, but didn't blow me away. Ambiance is very very cute!
My wife and I were looking for a place to have a quiet anniversary dinner and decided to come to Catch 27. Some of the reasons: many places are closed on Mondays (but not Catch 27), the menu looked good, it was centrally located. In terms of location, Catch 27 is in an ideal spot for the tourist crowd and I'm sure they reap the benefits from that. There is a largish outside seating area, which is probably great for evening once the sun as slid a bit past the trees. We had a reservation for an inside table. The dining room inside is small and simple but effective. The walls are painted in sea to sky horizon, which I think is beautiful and subtle. My wife ordered a glass of white wine (La Chappell du Bastion Picpoul de Pinet) and I ordered a Mr Snufflupagas mocktail which is a spiced Thai tea with some kind of coconut milk in it. It was alright, but not amazing. We ordered Devils on Horseback for a starter. I was torn between this or the Deviled Eggs w/ Southern Fried Oyster, but chose this because of the oddity of the flavor layers that surely must come from combining bacon, chorizo, dates, balsamic, and bleu cheese. This starter was amazing. All of the pieces together were excellent, and each bite brought a multi-dub-step of mind-blowing layers. It's a weird, but genius idea. My wife ordered the Catch Beurre Blanc and the fish was mahi. Lemon caper beurre blanc sauce over the grilled fish, brocollini, and roasted sweet potatoes. That sauce is excellent and everything was cooked perfectly. I ordered the red wine braised beef brisket. It came as two thin-cut slabs over potato puree with fresh green beans on the side. The meat and potatoes were doused in an excellent mushroom demi-glace and a then a nice swipe of chimichurri was added, which provided some color as well as a touch of tastebud goodness. The meat was so tender, I tried to cut it with a knife, but it was easier to just pull it apart with my fork. Superb. I also ordered a ruby fizz mocktail. That was really good. Tart cherry, coconut, lime, and soda with a Filthy cherry and lime slice garnish. This one is excellent. Definitely worth a try. Lastly but not leastly, Sunny was our waitress. She was super professional, friendly, and available. Really excellent. Given the chance and the right situation, I'd gladly come back.
