Made a quick stop here after work and wasn’t disappointed. The service was lovely, food was wonderful, and the wine even better. It’s such a cool interior. My desert was the Earl grey cake which was possibly the only think that I thought was imbalanced. However my pasta was delicious!

Quiet for lunch. Nice atmosphere. The salmon dish was delicious as were the dips and focaccia we got as appetizers.

Greatly enjoyed our meal and visit. The service was good and the dishes very flavorful and good sized portions. We enjoyed the butternut agnolotti immensely as well as the trio of dips:hummus with caramelized onions, harissa and feta, and eggplant with toasted pita chips, and garlic lemon roasted broccoli. We tried the baked Alaska and the pumpkin crème brûlée. Looking forward to another visit next time in the area.

Pros: Good service, nice interior design, decent pricing and an excellent focaccia appetizer. I also had the citrus salad which was lovely but unfortunately the salmon I added onto it was a bit overcooked. (Edit: it seems my salad was missing the goat cheese and snap peas (picture below)…Not sure if this can still be considered a “pro” but nevertheless, I still enjoyed it.)

We had my sister’s bridal shower at Catalyst Restaurant and it was so perfect. Robyn, their event coordinator, is the greatest. She is helpful, creative, and flexible. They have great private and semi private rooms for events. The food was incredible. Our server, Christian, was so attentive and kind. We really can’t say enough good things and would highly recommend for any event!

Great location with great service and a pretty good / varied selection. The four star rating is because if you want to have lunch with a group of 10 or more you have to select from a prix fixe menu at $50 per person which was a bit much for those of us who simply wanted to get together and bid farewell to a colleague. Fortunately (or unfortunately) only eight of us were able to make and we enjoyed the regular menu.

Attended college gathering before normal opening hours, so we had three entire restaurant. The event was a reception, so no sit down dining.

We recently planned a wedding dinner with Catalyst, the food was good but the whole planning experience was absolutely terrible, stressful, and I would NOT recommend to any couples.

We ordered NYE takeout and it was amazing. We got a mezze plate, gigantic beef wellington, clam chowder, sides and a lemon goat cheese cheesecake. I was impressed with everything!
