On Jan. 24, Catch 27 will officially celebrate 10 years in business, which customers can help celebrate by trying the restaurant’s new seasonal menu, including shareable plates, entrees with a Southern twist, over a half-dozen specialty cocktails and mouthwatering desserts.
The locally owned and operated restaurant has been serving St. Augustine since 2013, inviting guests to experience local flavor with an emphasis on fresh seafood and seasonal fare inspired by the 27th state.
“We're so excited to launch this new menu,” said Stephen Hutson, who owns Catch 27 along with his wife, Lindsey. “We pride ourselves on serving high-quality, seasonal fare, so our menus adapt with the seasons to highlight fresh and flavorful ingredients year-round while enhancing the quality of the meals. As a truly local business, we aim to source locally as often as possible, and our fish, shrimp and clams are caught in Florida waters — providing guests the chance to taste the local flavor. The fact that this menu comes out just in time for our 10th anniversary is icing on the cake.”
The menu features such offerings as butternut squash bisque, deviled egg BLT with southern fried oyster, grilled salmon and lobster gnocchi, and Florida shrimp and chorizo paella.
Since opening in 2013, Catch 27 has become a community staple for locals and tourists alike. Longtime St. Augustine chef Josh Smith has been with the restaurant for more than seven years, bringing along a passion for crafting innovative dishes from scratch using seasonal ingredients and local produce.
The restaurant also has an expansion in the works for 2023.
“I created Catch 27 to provide the community I love with the food I love," said Hutson. “I worked in many family restaurants before finally deciding to open my own. I knew I wanted to create a restaurant that showcased the delicious and fantastic seafood we have right here in the 27th state.”
Catch 27 is located at 40 Charlotte St. in the heart of downtown St. Augustine and is open 5-9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 4-10 p.m. Friday and 3-10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
