"One of my friends ordered fries, and I had a taste. They were incredibly crispy and perfectly salted, so I would definitely order them again! The bartenders were fantastic and exceptionally friendly. They did a wonderful job accommodating our large group and remembered each of us when we ordered more drinks. As for the crowd, the dress code ranged from casual to more dressed-up, which was nice for an upscale bar. I did find the drink prices somewhat unclear, as the menus didn’t list them. For two gimlets, we spent about $24. Catalyst is a great spot for a date night, with inviting alcoves that allow for intimate conversations and a pleasantly dim, romantic atmosphere. The couches and outdoor seating are also ideal for smaller gatherings. Overall, it’s a lovely choice if you're looking for an upscale place downtown with excellent drinks!"

They don't open until 5, but their door was open at 4:40. The internet says they open at 4pm!

Been to the bar twice. Worst bartending experience. Five people in the place and 30 minutes to get a drink. Bartenders concerned about cleaning glasses than serving patrons.

The atmosphere is top notch and the service that Katie provided was OUTSTANDING. Nevertheless, for the price of everything, I expected more from the food and beverage. Atmosphere, location and service are diminished by average food and beverage.

Catalyst is located within a complex of homes, shops and other breweries and restaurants. We sat at the bar and enjoyed their IPA and Arnold Palmer and some super spicy fish tacos and BLT wrap. Tots with honey siracha were yummy. Great place to meet friends, family, business associates. View menu

Luxurious, modern, exclusive, and noir atmosphere. Solid menu with their own upscale version of classic cocktails. They offered a few food options to snack on as well. They also have a very large selection of spirits and glassware so any cocktail you need can be made. Our Bartender, Helen, was very friendly and knowledgeable, made us feel very welcomed.

This is a charming little spot for enjoying the Astro. It has the potential to be fantastic once the service staff become more familiar with the menu and pick up the pace a bit. The food is quite impressive—I'd recommend the blue burger, which is excellent. The avocado toast is also a generous portion served on brioche toast. Just a heads up, the Caesar salad comes as long wedges rather than being tossed, so be prepared for that. Overall, the food is enjoyable, and this place has the makings of a great addition to the LaVista City Center area.

"First, the restaurant is super cool. You enter and immediately see the open kitchen and bar below. We were seated with a great view of the working kitchen. It was our anniversary and they presented us with complimentary bubbly and a menu that read Happy Anniversary at the top. Our server was prompt and kind. We ordered apps and our meal at the same time. Apps were a little slow but we don 't mind taking our time. The andouille sausage over grits was good but a bit oversalted. The croquettes were good but somewhat mushy. Overall flavor profile was good. Some time passed after completing our appys and began to notice the kitchen plating dishes and entrees being served to every table except ours. Again, not in a hurry so we weren 't upset. But it became excessive. Large groups seated while we had appetizers were served their entrees. Small tables seated after we finished our appetizers were served. The kitchen can put out food fast, just not ours. So now our apps are expanding in our belly and our excitement about our meals are diminishing. Finally our entrees arrived. My snapper raw. So sad. The gnocchi was ok but again, way over salted. But the flavor profile was so good. This had the ability to be amazing. My husband ordered the wagyu flank steak. It was just not good. He barely ate one piece and left his sides as again they were way way over salted. Our server noticed that we barely ate our meals and spent time asking for feedback. She was very kind and the manager discounted my meal (which I did not want, but appreciate). Anyway, we probably won 't be back. Good presentations. Very good flavor profiles. Failure to deliver overall though due to extremely salty, improper cooking and extraordinary wait times. Hopefully they can improve as some other recent reviews reflect similar feedback."
