I am so disheartened to hear this. I go to sunset catch every year on my birthday and I can't imagine not having this beautiful, classy, restaurant around. The food, service, view, and entertainment are all impeccable. Quality food and everything else as well. I don't know what to say. I wish everyone the best and thank the owner, managers, servers, chef, and entertainers, for making my time there so memorable. Thank you again. You will be greatly missed.

Enjoyed their mussels for a starter, followed by the Linguini with Clam Sauce. Delicious!!! Max took care of us outside near the bar area and was very attentive and gracious. I will continue to return here with guests, as this restaurant experience never disappoints!

We had a table outside but set back from good water views. The food was very good. We started with fried zucchini which was light and crispy and perfectly done. I had a clam and lobster pasta dish that was excellent. My husband had a crab and scallop dish also excellent. The tiramisu was just okay. The waiter had several large tables and we waited along time between courses and to get our l dishes removed from the table.

I do not usually write reviews but I think this place needs one. My husband and I live nearby and have never tried, so thought we would see what it was all about. The confusion level of what the cuisine vs the decor is dumbfounding. We couldn't stop looking around and trying not to laugh. Is this for weddings? Is it a disco? What's up with the blue-ness inside? Why is there an upside down chandelier next to me on top of a fish sculpture? Christmas lights? Garland with roses? The fish on the logo suggested more seafood but nope, it's “Italian”. We were seated outside and lots of other patrons, which was encouraging and also confusing, how they get these people in here is amazing. This place is so expensive for what it is! I ordered the lobster Mac & Cheese. It didn't taste like the menu description. Just a bland sauce/no parm sauce as was on the menu. The lobster was ok but the claw meat was questionable. My husband ordered the mushroom pasta which was good, but for close to $30 not a good value. Our server, Rachel was lovely and well informed and attentive. She was the bright spot. Our impression wasn't great, we won't be returning. I hope they have a clearer vision and cuisine to match to compete at that price level. I know run it a restaurant is not for the faint of heart, and I truly wish them well.

Went with another couple and enjoyed a great dinner on the upper porch with the sun setting overlooking the inter coastal. Had the whole pompano fish grilled to perfection with broccoli rabe My friend had the same. The women had grilled plaice flounder with potatoes and vegetables. Appetizer was a conch and fish ceviche that was excellent. Cheese cake for dessert. What a great place to enjoy a great dinner

Been coming here for the past 4 years, food has always been great, One problem the chef/owner is not friendly, the staff is a afraid of him, and he refuses to change anything or alter anything on his menu. When you ask the staff hey can we please add this to the plate, or do this to a dish to make it editable for someone who is allergic to something they say, "oh no I'm not going back there with that" Suggestion, go to a different Italian restaurant, one that wants your business, one that appreciates locals, cause this place does not, They forget who is there when the Canadians and all the snowbirds head home.

Food was very good and the presentation was great. Service wasn't very good. The blond bartender had an attitude when I didn't order an alcoholic beverage although others in our group did. Our waiter seemed like he just wanted to be somewhere else. Before we could review the menu he asked us what we wanted for our main course even though we just sat down and ordered drinks and appetizers. I would not recommend nor go back.

We sat outside on the terrace and it was lovely with a nice view of the intercoastal. Live music is featured every night which adds to the ambience. My husband and I both enjoyed main course specials that were delicious. Whole Branzino grilled and lamb shank braised Osso Buco style. Octopus and bruschetta apps were also very good. I would not recommend the Keylime pie as it was too sweet and mostly whip cream, a disappointment after such a great meal. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. We will be back!

Nice place on the intercoastal waterway. Live music almost every night. Great food and service. Fun ambiance. Our waiter Max was not only attentive but he also tended bar and made great cocktails.

Overpriced, underwhelming, waiter was so unfriendly, we asked for bread, we got literally 2 hard as a rock pieces, one each like rations, crazy. food was eh, pasta was fresh and good. Fish portions were small with big price tags. I got fettuccine with a $6.99 publix size lobster tail and 4 clams $34. Basically it was pasta and sauce. No Happy Hour so that sucked as well. Drink was $13, nothing special and small. Hostess wasn’t friendly either. Singer was amazing. We went for him but he sings elsewhere and we will go to the other places to see him. No parking there either only a municipal lot. All in all not worth it. Too many other great places in south Florida.
Our waiter was terrific! The food took 1 1/2 hours to reach the table. A bit too long for me. Music was way too loud...someone asked for the speaker near us to be turned off, which they did.

This was a pretty good place. Great service and location. I had lamb chops and they were very good along with the appetizers esp the coconut shrimp. I tried the pasta and it was to aDante for me.

We found this restaurant while vacationing in Pompano Beach. It is right on the water. The view was lovely. The food and wine were very good and our server was funny and on top things. A good find!

If I could add more stars, I would! What a wonderful way to spend our last night here...especially since it was our anniversary (which our awesome server, Rachel, acknowledged)! From the moment we walked in, we knew we were at a place we would definitely come back to....our server, the staff, the entertainment, the water view, the spectacular appetizers, entrees and desserts exceeded our expectations. WE LOVE THIS PLACE! Absolutely a hidden gem!

While your setting and your menu are enticing, ELVIS should have left the building. When one has to scream to be heard across a table, that's a no no. Will not return, my memory is of the headache I left with
