Description: Catch 35 Seafood and Premium Steaks is just a short walk from Chicago’s exciting Theatre district. The restaurant the Chicago Sun-Times calls “one of the classiest and most innovative seafood restaurants around” is perfect for a pre- or post-show dinner. Also, when Theatre patrons dine at Catch 35, the cost of valet will be deducted from the guest check. The menu offers variety, appeal and flavor with the city’s freshest seafood and steaks, such as Chilean sea bass, Szechwan scallops, seared Yellow Fin tuna, a bone-in rib eye and a chef’s cut New York strip. Whether you’re dining for business or pleasure, every experience is special at Catch 35. Join us for live jazz Tuesday through Saturday with the Eric Hochberg Trio led by Eric Hochberg, one of Chicago’s most well-known and versatile jazz musicians. Catch 35 is now featuring a Special 3 Course Value Dinner, with soup or salad; a choice of 6 popular entrees and any house dessert for only $29.99

“Great Fresh Fish”

Had lunch here prior to a play at the Goodman Theater around the corner. My scallops and my wife's sea bass were both excellent. More

“Worth the money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 9, 2012 NEW

The food and service were amazing. My only negative comment is relating to our reception. The person seating us was absolutely unfriendly, I do not why we were given possibly the worst table in the place when there were many better tables available (we did have reservation)', but how unattentive to be handed a menu upside down - if that...

“Not what we were expecting”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 15, 2012

We visit Chicago often as a fun and easy get away. We like to get in at least one new restaurant each time. Catch 35 had been on our list and this time we managed to get a reservation on a Friday night. Actually the restaurant was suprisingly not busy and most surprisingly the food did not live up to...

From walking in to this restaurant to leaving everything was perfect! The service, the food, the ambiance, everything. This is our 3rd time going over the years and will most definitely go back and have recommended it to many of our seafood loving friends. More

“Great oysters!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 12, 2012

We stopped by on Sunday late afternoon for appetizers. We got there shortly before they opened and were allowed to stay and sit by the bar and wait for them to open. We ordered the oysters on the half shell, baked oysters, shrimp cocktail and callamari. The food was great! They even brought us a bread basket with warm bread... More

person found this review helpful

I have lived in this city for 40 years and am constantly surprised by the world-class quality of our restaurants. Catch 35 has been comfortably tucked in on the first floor of the Leo Burnett building since it was erected. I think the reason for its longevity has to do with two essentials: good food and good service. The menu... More

We arrived one evening without a reservation, and we were given a table near the bar and the jazz group. The table waas not very comfortable for dinner, but the music was good. The seafood dinner was excellent (shrimp & crab bisque, fish & chips, Lake Superior whitefish), and I tasted for the first time a great local ale (312... More
