Catalyst - Green Meadows

Trista is the best! Love coming here on weekends for

Nice little place for prep of The Astro. Should be a great place when service and staff become acquainted with all the food items and some service hustle. The food is really good. Blue burger is good. Avocado toast is a good helping with brioche toast. Caesar salad comes as long wedges and not tossed so be prepared is all. Again, good food. This place can be great for the LaVista City center area.

Visited Catalyst for the first time with a group of friends last night. To get to Catalyst, we were able to walk into the front doors of the Farnham Hotel and straight back down a long hallway to the bar. The interior is very upscale and sophisticated. The outdoor area is also nice with fireplaces and various seating options. The specialty cocktail menu looked good, though I ordered a gimlet and thought it was delicious, very well made and balanced. My friend ordered fries which I tried, and they were very crispy and salted the perfect amount, so I would definitely get these again! The bartenders were great and extremely friendly! They were great for accommodating a large group, and remembered all of us when ordering more drinks. For an upscale-feeling bar, people were in a range of casual to nicer outfits. I thought the drinks may be expensive, as no prices were listed on the menus. For two gimlets, the price was around $24. This is a great date night spot, with more intimate alcoves to be able to talk and the darker romantic feel. The couches and outdoor area are also perfect for smaller groups. Definitely a nice spot if you're looking for a nicer place downtown with great drinks!

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.
