Walk doesn’t the stairs and you go through a portal into Japan! Intimate dining. A chef who takes you on a very intentional journey. All the fish is carefully chosen and in season. The range of tastes is so wide. One of my favorite sushi experiences.

Catch never disappoints! We've been to Catch locations in several cities, and every experience has been exceptional, but Catch New York may just be the best of them all. The stunning new space is absolutely beautiful, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the food is nothing short of extraordinary. Every detail feels thoughtfully executed. And what truly makes the experience special is the people. Tony is simply one of the best, and Brian goes above and beyond to make the entire evening feel exceptional. Their warmth, hospitality, and attention to detail elevate an already incredible restaurant into something truly memorable. Catch continues to set the bar for an amazing dining experience. We absolutely love it and can't wait to return!
