Usually when I post pics of food it's virtually moments after it's served, I try to keep the "Live" almost live. But last night I did not post anything because I wanted to enjoy dinner at The Catch by Rudi. I have lots of pics and will post them shortly.
Let me say this about The Catch right away, it was the best meal I've ever had on a Princess ship. Now, this restaurant may not be for everyone. This is NOT the place to go if you're one of those cruisers who has to do everything and wants to have dinner in 35 minutes. Dinner took 2+ hours for our 7:20 reservation and it's supposed to take that long. It's not the precooked meals like in the main dining room. Everything is cooked to order. There are three courses plus a welcome glass of champagne, an amuse bouche and chocolates to complete the meal. It is mostly seafood but Steak Frites is on the menu as is Steak and Lobster.
My wife had the Tail of Citrus for the appetizer which is a marinated lobster tail and for her main, Shiitake Crusted Halibut. For dessert she had the Handcrafted Palate, a cheese plate. I had the Seafaring Stew cioppino and then the Sole a la Minute, dover sole filleted tableside. My dessert was the Mozart Berry Composition, a berry souffle.
Everything was delicious and there was not one dish I would not order again. In fact, we're going again on the final evening. Service was spot on, it's clear only the best of the best work in this restaurant. No issues with ordering drinks as Bellini's Bar is the service bar.
Pics next.
