Catch 27

We chose this place because they could accommodate our really large group. We had a wonderful time and the service was very friendly and accommodating, yet firm to let us know of our time limit since we arrived a little late due to parking and bridge lifting. I got the shrimp and grit cakes. Such an amazing dish. I don't even like greens so I knew I may have to begrudgingly eat them. But they were amazing. Best greens I've ever had. Very tender and actually very sweet which was awesome by me. The perfect bite of shrimp greens grits and relish. So amazing. A dish I'd order again for sure. Very reasonable price for what is offered. Something to keep in mind is that parking is terrible. Plan ahead

This review is only for food, and doesn't consider ambiance or service. I only tried a couple of appetizers - the minorca clam chowder and the salmon spread - both less than average and expensive. Minorca Clam Chowder: stew-like consistency, filled with chunks of extremely overcooked potatoes that were disintegrating. Flavor was decent but the texture was hard to ignore. Didn't get a single clam. Salmon Spread: is really a bowl of mayo and chunks of cream cheese with a few pieces of salmon inside... even the crostini seemed like stale bread. Prices are so expensive for what this is that I didn't bother with trying the entres.

We were in town for a music festival and in our haste to enjoy the beach before dinner and the music we failed to make a reservation - on a Saturday night! We were worried but lucked out! We were greeted by a lovely hostess and gentleman who offered us "waterfront" dining aka fountain. But it was truly lovely! The bar behind them had a cool band going which added to the fun! We started with the trio of salsa, guac and fondue. All three were magical! The deviled eggs and fried oysters were flavorful and tender! Now on to dinner: One friend is picky but they were SO accommodating! She got the braised beef without the gravy, plain mashed potatoes, and green beans. It was so full of flavor and tender! I had the summer risotto with salmon both were cooked perfectly! The other friend was lured into salad by the beets and was not disappointed, which I have to say is often the case with salads! LOL Our drinks were also lovely and our server couldn't have been more kind. We will absolutely be back!

Catch 27 was a great choice for our family. The backyard has such a charming vibe--we loved the water fountain, which added a relaxing touch. The soup options were fantastic, and the grits were an absolute favorite at our table. The menu has something for everyone, making it easy to please the whole group. Service was good overall, and we left happy and full. Definitely worth a visit!

10/10 would recommend! Everything was delicious and perfectly seasoned. I had the Mahi Beurre Blanc and their espresso martini. My aunt had the Cuban rice bowl and the Moscow mule (she said it was the best mule she's ever had). We shared the app trio. Wait staff was friendly and prompt. It was a nice ambience as well. Would definitely be back!

To me, this was a hidden gem in the heart of historic st Augustine! During nights of lights the area is ever so bustling and the typical restaurants in the area had very very long wait times but we were hungry and somehow managed to find a seafood-forward restaurant that seated us immediately. It felt like a very good sign. It's a very cozy atmosphere inside the restaurant although they had plenty of seating outside (it was a bit chilly so inside was somewhat preferred for us anyway). I opted for the Catch Beurre Blanc, which featured mahi, roasted sweet potatoes, broccolini, and lemon caper beurre blanc sauce. This meal was so delicious I didn't want to stop eating even when I knew I was full. I'll be thinking about it for a long time. The service was excellent, she was patient and accommodating. The person I was dining with opted for a similar dish but wanted a different type of fish and they had accommodated the request. I was far to full to try any dessert but I was so impressed I can't wait to come back here the next time I'm in St Augustine

Catch 27 was a solid 3. We were here with family for an upcoming wedding, and made reservations. The dining room is very tight so we were very close to the other tables. All we wanted was grouper and all they had was flounder. Once again we were disappointed with the fish of the day being a fish we can get anywhere. We ended up all getting salads which were fine enough but not mind-blowing or repeatable. The deviled egg appetizer was the best part of this meal.

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.
