   This place never ceases to amaze me, we do every wine dinner they set up. Not only do you get to try wines you wouldn’t normally get your hands on but they usually have the head wine maker or in this case the owner and wine maker at the dinner. Getting to meet and mingle with Robert Foley was an amazing experience, the knowledge we left dinner with about their history and influence in the California wine scene since the 70’s was astounding. As always, the food was out of this world, the Catalyst team always pulls off an incredible well paired menu to compliment the wines. The thought and effort put into the menu by chef William and Danni is not lost, every plate is presented perfectly, their attention to detail is incredible. I know this experience isn’t just for wine dinners, they excel with their standard service as well, if you haven’t been here, this is a must if you’re looking for an amazing experience with a comfortable atmosphere and extremely pleasant staff.

   The branzino special was one of the best branzino dishes I’ve ever had.

   This place is one of my all-time favorites, and I have been coming here for years. Their wine dinners are a must for anyone who loves food and wine. The pairings are always spectacular; the team works diligently to choose excellent wines that perfectly complement the dishes they prepare. They go the extra mile by educating guests about the wines and the regions they come from. Additionally, attendees have the opportunity to purchase some of the featured wines during the event, which is a great bonus. I rarely write reviews, but last night was such an exceptional experience that I felt compelled to share it. The whole team at Catalyst did a tremendous job making us all feel special.

    Thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the food, service, and overall experience. We apologize if the noise level was a bit much—it sounds like you may have visited on one of our busier nights. We hope to welcome you back soon for another great meal, and perhaps a quieter evening!
