Catch LA

"Catch is yet another breathtaking rooftop full of people who pay for their Instagram followers. This seafood-heavy restaurant was gifted to us from New York, and judging by the lines of Louboutins click-clacking their way down Melrose to eat there, the tourists of West Hollywood are exceedingly grateful for it. As for the food, nothing’s terrible, but nothing’s great. But “average” isn’t a word you want associated with a $400 experience. Proceed accordingly." - brant cox

As for the food, nothing’s terrible, but nothing’s great. You'll eat truffle-topped nigiri, big pieces of fish, and a $32 crab roll. But “average” isn’t a word you want associated with a $400 experience. Proceed accordingly." - Brant Cox

"It’s still a common site to see paparazzi hanging out on the street outside Catch, where starlets and emerging influencers try to catch a photo for TMZ. Inside, the fare is a solid take on the Nobu-style modern Japanese lounge fare, more expensive than it needs to be but overall pretty good. Britney Spears also celebrated her freedom from conservatorship with a big dinner here." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff

"Perfect For: Parents Who Are (Figuratively) Younger Than You They’re already planning their Burning Man outfits and have told you three times that Kendrick Lamar is the poet of our age. Just admit defeat and have your grad dinner at Catch, where they can play Spot The Hadid and generally feel like the cool people they’ve decided they are. There’s nothing particularly great about the mostly seafood menu, but it’s also not terrible. Predictably, it is stupidly expensive - but your official cutoff officially starts tomorrow, so live it up now." - jess basser sanders, brant cox

"Much like the club-travesty that is Tao and the bitter guy who still shows up at all our house parties to talk about “real art,” Catch is a place we wish New York had kept to itself. That’s not to say this ridiculously overpriced seafood restaurant is terrible, it’s just that this town already has plenty of rooftop restaurants full of people who pay for their Instagram followers. The food isn’t a total disappointment, but if you came here with the intention of taking down a seafood tower, the long line of Louboutins click-clacking down Melrose to come here should be your first indication that you got the wrong memo." - Brant Cox
