    We live in the West Village and eat there approximately once a month. The prime rib is sublime, the…read moreonion rings and Caesar salad are crunchy, the drinks are generous, and the staff is great. It's a bit of Old New York and offers a taste of the original Meatpacking District. If you're visiting the Whitney, the High Line, or Little Island, it's the perfect place to eat.

Also, their website is currently hacked, displaying a page to download a fake version of Chrome from "worshipinnovcations." Finally, this old school steakhouse is posting AI slop on Instagram/their FB page in celebration of the Knicks... "cool." Anyway, I was here a while ago for something that they appear to offer seasonally, the $95 Porterhouse for Two, which is normally $165 alone, and also comes with a salad, mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach. This is a fantastic deal compared to their usual high prices and appears to be still happening, but I'm not sure. I was here early and was sitting at the bar with others, and the bartender was friendly. I might have had a glass of wine, but I'm not sure. We were soon upstairs with our full group of 6. Our waiter asked if we wanted something outside of the special, and he recommended the bread, which we ordered for $10.50, listed as Chef's Special Bread Preparation. While the menu lacks any descriptions, this was essentially a Jenga tower of slightly crusted garlic bread sitting in a rather rich and oily sauce made with presumably a lot of Parmesan or another similar type of cheese. It was tasty and worked to whet the appetite. Soon enough, the steaks and other dishes arrived, with two of our pairs getting the same medium rare temperature and the others getting medium. The portion was large as expected, with the steak being pretty tender. I think the flavor was a bit better than Gallagher's, but worse than Keen's, Delmonico's, Hawksmoor, and a few other places with less funk and a worse crust, but it was still decent. The sides were standard, whether it was the salad, which turned out to be a Caesar, the spinach, or the mashed potatoes. I wouldn't pay full price, as there are several other steakhouses in the city that are tastier at a similar price range, but I would probably recommend this place if you were to get the same deal.

    holy moly, catch is back! I came in with medium standards and needless to say I was blown away…read more Also - the rooftop is open! the ambiance up there was terrific. I will say the portions are small for the price but everything we got was delicious + the service was fast. - Complimentary pretzel bread (4.5/5): buttery goodness. this alone is worth coming here for, and it tastes so good with the butter! one of the top complimentary bread at a restaurant - Tuna nicoise rice cake (5/5): generous amount of caviar, tastes so fresh and delightful - Truffle sashimi (5/5): fish was so fresh, paired with thinly sliced green onions and caviar. Stronger truffle flavor - Crudo di Catch (5/5): one of the thinnest crudo you will find. So delicious, light, fresh and bright! - Baked crab rolls (4.5/5): these were the perfect size and the crab inside is so large and plump and juicy - Hellfire roll (3.5/5): not my favorite (spicy tuna is mushy) but I am also not a huge spicy tuna lover. Its really good though but wish there was a bit more crunch factor in the roll - Otoro with caviar (4/5): classic, tastes as you expect, nothing mindblowing - Lobster mac and cheese (5/5): highly highly recommend. The lobster chunks are delicious and the rigatoni is perfectly al dente. Does not even taste too cheesy which is why I loved it so much - tasted more like vodka rigatoni with lobster :D - NY streak (4/5): I'm not a huge steak person but this was pretty good. Cooked medium, nice amount of fat without too much, and a nice crispy crust. Also thin enough too my liking so it does not feel overly heavy - Baby bok choy salad (4/5): I actually really liked this one - thought it was super light and refreshing and perfectly complemented the steak. Had a nice crunch factor from the bokchoy and candied pumpkin seeds Amazing meal, great for a group or celebration when you want to splurge a bit!

    There were 20 of us, split in two. From The Gateway City, STL; my first time in NYC, first time…read moreflying in decades, so I packed judiciously. Being an older man i dress appropriately, especially given a dress code. Most of our party had been to NYC many times. There was a strict itinerary that included Catch. World Cup frenzy added to the fun. I know how hard it is to seat large parties, we had to wait. My first recommendation is to prohibit parties larger than 5. The atmosphere was dark but lively, i waited at the sushi bar who i hoped were Itamae do their thing. Then who i thought were delivery folk or street people walked in and were seated definitely contrary to the dress code. I would not have minded if there wasnt a detailed code and i packed clothes that displaced other things i would've brought. Once seated i think they tried some service recovery and they brought this bread that was artful, flaky and absolutely delicious, it had a seasoned whipped butter that was OUTRAGEOUS! They added the spicy shrimp that made me want to slap my mama. Then it went downhill. I ordered the salmon with fava bean purée (i had no idea what that was and was not tasteful), asparagus and spinach. Brussel sprouts showed up without the veggies i ordered. I gave the salmon a 'B'. However, our gorgeous server was gracious, apologetic and comped the entire meal. I left a bit forlorn and a bit ambivalent if i would return, NYC has too many other restaurants. But try it and write a review.
