text: I have been to Cathouse on two separate birthday celebrations, and I had a great time at both.  The decor is quite lavish inside, and the booths that we were in were quite nice as well.  We tried quite a bit of everything here: the fondue, mini crab cakes, crispy calamari with zucchini chips, tuna tartare with tequila caviar and lotus root, and the linguine. The linguine dish had pecans which gave it an interesting texture to it.  Everything was all quite good, particularly the tuna tartare, calamari, and mini crab cakes  The lotus root chips  that came with the tuna tartare had a crispy texture that went well with the tuna. Very light.  The calamari was quite tasty, and I really liked how they did not skimp on the serving!  It was quite a reasonably sizable plate for $12!  As for the crab cakes, they were good, but I wished the plate came with more than just 3.  Last but not least came the best part of the dinner: dessert! Since there was a huge group in the first birthday celebration, everyone ordered a different  dessert and were able to taste a little bit of each.  All the desserts were quite fabulous, particularly the creme brulee and bread pudding! For the second birthday celebration, they even brought the bday girl a special dessert plate with red velvet cake and pink cotton candy.  Very nice presentation! All in all, we all had a wonderful time here.  The separate room for dancing was really fun! We would definitely come back to dine, wine, & party!
