What EatOutOften doesn't like about Catalyst:
Had never heard of Catalyst before making this reservattion due to its location and menu. Food was excellent. interesting celery soup and the gem salad was refreshing. We had the Branzino, Beef Touredo and Tofu all were excellent. good drink menu as well. Only issue is the place was empty on a Saturday night. Maybe Kendall Square is just a week day thing.
