CATCH land & sea

Wife and I have eaten there 4 times since opening. Like all restaurants they had some mistakes with service or food prep, but the last 2 times we went I feel like they finally got all the kinks worked out. The food is as good or better than any highly rated restaurant in downtown Nashville. They also have a chef’s Special’s menu that has like 3-5 entrees that change in addition to the regular menu which I like bc I want to try different things. This place is going to be top rated restaurant in sumner county for years to come!

Must Try’s:
1.)Pork Chop and mash potatoes
2.) Any fish over the beans and rice
3.) Bread Pudding

We really wanted to like it here. It was our first date night in a while and we feel like it was wasted. Lobster roll was underwhelming. Shrimp and Grits was really greasy and my “charred” vegetables tasted burnt instead of charred, so it ruined the dish. The ribeye was under-seasoned. It also took almost an hour to get our food and we were not visited by our waitress once while waiting for our food. We were sat in the front couple of tables, so it was freezing most of the night with the doors being opened and closed. Just really disappointed in our experience for a $150 bill. Hoping the restaurant can work out the links because it’s a nice spot.

Really impressed by this restaurant! Scallops are seared perfectly. The Red Fish Pontchartrain was fantastic (currently just a "special" and not on the regular menu). Brussel sprouts are great. Save room for the white chocolate bread pudding, because it's fantastic!

Super impressed. All of the food was stellar. We will definitely be back! The scallops and Brussels (side) were so so good! Great atmosphere. So glad to have this in Hendersonville!

This new restaurant in Hendersonville has all the makings of a new favorite.

We were fortunate to have been invited to visit the new CATCH Land & Sea in Hendersonville on the first night of their soft opening. We know some of the staff from Sea Salt (moment of silence...) and I have been waiting as patiently as I could for what I'd hoped would be a worthy replacement since their closure over the summer. I was excited to get there for our first visit and I truly can't wait to go back for opening night!

Let's start with parking. Anyone who has been to Streets knows that your odds of finding parking around the square, and subsequently near Catch, can be difficult. There is plenty of parking in general, but the majority tends to require a bit of a walk depending on where you're headed. We lucked out with a pretty good spot last night, but as we approached the door I noticed something that you don't see in Hendersonville - a valet stand! That's right; valet parking. A small thing to get excited about, but I am glad to have the option. Especially when the weather is nasty.

Upon entering the building, lovely Laura greeted us with a warm smile. A Hendersonville resident herself, you could tell she was excited to have this new option in town. Her excitement made me excited and as she walked us to our table, I could tell we were in for a treat.

Our server, Thomas, quickly made his way to our table to get us started with water and go over the menu with us (as if I hadn't already memorized it 😏). He seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the menu sharing that he has enjoyed everything he's tried so far during restaurant tastings. My normal M.O. when visiting a new place is to order one of everything. However, since it was just Jennifer and me, I refrained. Ultimately, we settled on three starters to share and split a wedge. Jennifer ordered the chicken as her main, while I, being my indecisive self, asked Thomas to just have Chef Erik pick something for me. He's never steered me wrong before, and he didn't last night either.

Our appetizers consisted of the lamb lollipops, mini pork osso bucco, and the black bean cakes. All of them were delicious, but my favorite was the osso bucco. As I mentioned, Jennifer had the chicken, which she enjoyed. Chef Erik chose the pork chop for me and I was not mad about it. A play on the classic - pork chops & apple sauce (IYKYK) - this dish was delicious and nostalgic; a 12oz cut served with potatoes and brussels. I would absolutely order this again.

This new upscale option in Hendersonville is a needed addition to our food scene. It's a little pricey, but what isn't? Our pre-tip total last night was just over $200, but that also included three cocktails and a glass of wine. We also, admittedly, ordered way more food than we normally would given it was the first visit and y'all know I like to try all the things. The fact that Catch is a mere five minutes from our house, we don't have to fight Nashville for a meal of this caliber, we don't have to pay to park, etc. goes a long way. We have reservations to return for their official opening on the 19th and I'm counting down the days. Y'all go! 😊🍴#FoodiesOfNashville
