Food is very good but pricey. The seafood sampler appetizer towers are enough for a main meal for two - four persons. Very chic decor with lots of young wait staff just learning the trade. Very very very noisy not the place for conversation over dinner, If the weather is nice request a table outside along the boardwalk more scenic... More

Enjoyed a fresh Maine lobster roll and my wife had equally as good fish taco's. We sat outside on the patio facing the boardwalk and ocean. A cool breeze, a beer and wine contruibuted to our enjoyment of the meal. More

My daughter and I enjoy fine dining, but we are casual as a general rule and at the beach we are totally casual, so Catch 31 has become our favorite beach treat! The food is amazing! There is a raw bar that serves flavorful fresh foods, not only sushi, but we enjoyed a tuna appetizer that was divine! The bartenders... More

Stopped by for an adult beverage and appetitzers - the oysters were outstanding as were the specially- made french fries with sea salt. In spite of the high winds (North Easter), we sat on the outside patio - the wait staff was very accommodating. Great views of the ocean, the boardwalk and park where a music fest was being held....

I need to learn my lesson once and for all. You'd think that the restaurant in arguable the nicest hotel on the beach strip would be first rate. I've been a few times at it finally occurred to me that the restaurant isn't worth the money you pay to eat there. The food is very good, but the service is... More

Whoever said location, location, location, could not have been a restaurant goer. That may be the only thing that speaks well of this restaurant. It has an excellent location. That would explain why it has customers. It cannot be because of the ambiance (ok), the service (aloof), the food (average), or the value (poor). Every aspect of the menu is... More

This is a typical semi-upscale restaurant that you find in a beach community. Limited menu with very little for the non-fish-lovers in your party. Our bill for two (2 entrees and 2 glasses of wine) was over $70 - a tad rich for my pocketbook! More

The outdoor fire pits that form the large circular tables make the perfect environment for socializing and meeting new people from all over the world while enjoying delicious food. They also have indoor dining but on a nice day or evening this is THE prime location for dining outdoors and people watching. The menu offers a great array of seafood.... More
