Dinner at The Catch on Discovery (April 13-27, 2024)

[OccasionalSanta]

We recently cruised B2B on Discovery (Mexican Riviera and California Coast) and twice we ate at The Catch. While I suspect there will still be the complaints about the noise from the Piazza that were prevalent during the Bistro Sur la Mer dynasty, I have to say the food was excellent.

 

Here is a rundown of the first meal...

 

This is the menu

 

In addition to a glass of sparkling wine, we were served the first appetizer, which is not on the menu. It consisted of bread and dipping/spreading options. I don't remember what the ingredients were, but Mrs. OS seemed to enjoy it. (I was happy with just butter.

 

 

Mrs. OS' appetizer was the seafood tower.

 

While I had the calamari

 

Mrs. OS had the catch of the day (Swordfish) for her main

 

While I partook of the Concerto (pasta with seafood)

 

For dessert, she had the Mozart's Berry Composition (Yes, it was big)

 

While I had the Chef's Classic (crepes suzette)

 

 

We did not walk away hungry

[OccasionalSanta]

The second dinner was also excellent

 

The menu was the same as were the first appetizer and glass of sparkling wine

 

 

 

Mrs. OS had the Seafaring Stew for her appetizer which was served in a huge, crab-shaped dish

 

However, since she had also asked about the Tuna Salade Nicoise, the waiter bought that to the table as well

 

I had the Lump Crabcake

 

For the main, she had the Triple S Platter

 

Which was presented with a large suspended shrimp

 

 

 

While I had the Catch of the Day (Sea Bass)

 

For dessert, she had the Chantilly Lace

 

 

And I had the Delight in the Air

The food looks marvelous. Thanks for posting the pictures!

The Triple S hanger is not a shrimp but supposedly a langista   as explained when I had it on the Enchanted.  They may have changed it though.

Unfortunately not important

To you maybe.Someone else possible.

The presentation of the shrimp hanging upside down like he's being tortured is...interesting. 😶 The rest of the food looks good, though! Thank you for sharing!

You may well be right. I assumed it was a shrimp because the Triple S is described as Shrimp, Salmon and Scallops.

 

As an added note, I had to dismantle the "shrimp" since Mrs. OS doesn't like food with eyes

We dined here twice in the Enchanted a few months ago and agree - both meals were among the best we’ve ever enjoyed at sea! Just phenomenal. And we had all different things each time too. 
 

I thought I read recently that they’re switching Sabatini and The Catch locations on Discovery? Is that in the works?

They didn't do it for you?! 

Oh No! I agree with Mrs. OS! I don't care for anything I eat staring at me 🤢

Thank you for posting the menu and the pictures.  I very much look forward to visiting this venue some day.

Sabatini’s Restaurant Manager (Headwaiter) said on 4/12 that the exchange was expected to be completed in 10 days. However disembarking the next day I don’t know if the swap has been completed yet.

My brother had mentioned that to me as well, but I heard nothing about it on the ship.

 

Right now they have closed down the Gastropub and are converting it to O'Malley's Irish Pub

It had not happened at of 4/27 when we disembarked

Onboard now.  Switch has not been made and O'Malley's still under construction. 

 

No update on timing.

Latest information.

 

A group (including corporate staff) was having an informal staff meeting this morning in Sabatini's.  

 

I went over and asked when the switch would happen and when O'Malley's would be open.

 

They said in Vancouver, May 4th.  When the ship transitions to Alaska.

 

The switch may actually happen, but I'm not so sure about O'Malley's.  Still a lot of construction to be completed.  In fact, nothing at all has been accomplished in the Gelato area.

On our recent Med/TA on the Enchanted, we dined at The Catch five times!  It was fantastic!

 

We are currently on the Majestic and had dinner at The Catch twice and will dine there again in a couple of days.

 

Our favorite dish, the Nicoise Salad!
