Next up: Pina Colada Coconut Shrimp. Toasted coconut and Red Stripe beer batter gave the skewered shrimp a perfect crunch, while the piña colada dipping sauce—with juicy bits of crushed pineapple—was so good I asked for extra. Sweet, creamy, and just a little tropical, it was a total crowd-pleaser.
For my entrée, I couldn’t resist the Margarita Fresh Catch of the Day, and I chose snapper. It was grilled just right—firm and flaky—and served over coconut lime rice with pineapple salsa. The citrus and tequila marinade brought out the natural sweetness of the fish, and the rice and salsa tied everything together into one cohesive, sunny dish.
Curiosity got the better of me, so I also tried the Elk Tenderloin—my first time eating elk! Cooked sous vide and served rare, it had the tenderness of a good beef filet but with a mild, earthy flavor. The blackberry balsamic reduction and Danish bleu cheese created a bold yet balanced contrast. I even pulled the rosemary garnish apart to sprinkle on top—those fragrant little leaves added an earthy, aromatic quality.
For dessert, we split two. The Brownie A La Mode came out with a pan-edge crunch (my favorite part!) and was everything
a chocolate lover could dream of—rich Ghirardelli brownie, creamy vanilla bean ice cream, candied pecans, and a decadent salted caramel drizzle. Then came the Key Lime Pie, tart enough to hit you right in the cheeks, but mellowed by coconut whipped cream and a buttery graham cracker crust.
I wrapped the meal with a strong, velvety Espresso Martini, dusted with cocoa and tasting of good coffee—nearly Cuban-level intensity. We try the espresso martini at every restaurant, and we place this one firmly in the top three on the Coast.
Catch 110 is classic coastal dining done right. It’s refined but not pretentious, rooted in Gulf Coast flavors with thoughtful, tropical twists. There is a wide variety of items on the menu with something for everyone. A true celebration of summer on the Coast.
