Catch is one of the most photogenic restaurants in the city, from its dramatic Instagram-ready entryway to its birdcage booths and gorgeous bar with the vaulted ceiling and liquor bottles glowing golden in the mirror.
But don’t think this LA-to-Vegas import is all style and no substance. The food is just as memorable, and the cocktail program? Well, it depends on the number of One Too Many you happen to imbibe.
And now, you don’t have to wait for the dinner hour to experience all this rustic-chic glamour. The recently debuted brunch is the perfect excuse to work up an appetite taking the perfect selfie under the blush of the noonday hour.
Start virtuous with fresh-pressed juices or sinful with bloody marys, mimosas or bellinis, then dig into some classics you know and love. The eye-catching tartare trio ($31), with salmon, hamachi and tuna accompanied by caviar, tobiko wasabi and crème fraîche, should be the starting point for the table. Follow it with the showstopper Catch roll ($21)—crab, salmon and miso honey dramatically flame-finished at the table.
Brunch classics get the Catch twist, including the beet-cured salmon Benedict ($22) with Scottish salmon, poached eggs and Hollandaise, and a smashed avocado toast ($19) with pomegranate, almonds, pickled chili and heirloom tomato. It’s topped with a creamy medium-boiled egg, and it sits atop hearty sourdough bread.
The non-savory selections are short and sweet, but don’t skip them. The cinnamon roll pancakes ($20), with candied almonds and cream cheese frosting, will have you coming back to Catch sooner rather than later. The waffle tower ($24), nearly toppling over with maple, milk chocolate and raspberry ice cream, drizzled with chocolate ganache and sandwiched with raspberry jam then topped with toasted almonds, ought to be shared with the table.
CATCH Aria, 877-230-2742. Brunch, Saturday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
