For a date night that feels special without being stuffy, Katch Twenty Two delivers an experience that’s both heartfelt and unforgettable.

Since opening in 2016, this locally loved restaurant has been built on passion, resilience, and a deep love for great food. Executive Chef Richard Wiggins began his culinary journey at just 11 years old and spent decades honing his craft with renowned hotel brands across the country. After losing everything to Hurricane Katrina, he rebuilt his career—and eventually followed his dream of creating food his way.

With the support of his wife, family, and friends, Chef Richard brought that dream to Citrus County, transforming a longtime local institution into Katch Twenty Two. Today, the restaurant reflects his love for the water and his passion for creative, beautifully prepared dishes.

The menu features locally sourced seafood alongside guest-favorite creations from his 20-year hospitality career, complemented by a thoughtfully curated beer and wine list. The warm, inviting dining room offers a view of the energetic kitchen, creating an atmosphere that feels lively yet intimate.

Perfect for anniversaries, Valentine’s month, or simply a night out together, Katch Twenty Two is a reminder that some of the best love stories—on the plate and off—are built with heart, courage, and a little creativity.
