This place is just about what you'd expect from a steakhouse. Good service, decent atmosphere, decently portioned sides, and a nicely cooked steak with optional accompaniments. In my opinion, the sauces were too weak to really enhance the entree. However it came in a medium sized pot with a handle, making it easy to use and share.
The only thing that stood out to me was the creamed spinach. Every bite was quite rich but wasn't too dense.
Did I have a good time with my meal? Yes. Did the flavors blow my mind? No. Would I come back? Probably no. But I don't regret coming here.

Painfully slow service. Sat down at the bar and there was literally no bartender in sight for over 15 minutes. A bus boy gave a menu and served water but it was almost 15 minutes before a bartender appeared. He then proceeded to serve a beer to people who were seated at the bar after me. Kept pouring the beer repeatedly in a glass to get rid of the suds from a fresh keg while I watched this saga patiently. Finally he came over and served me my drink. What a disaster. I ordered a steak which wasn’t too bad. But as other reviewers have mentioned the Keans or Peter Lugar price was not commensurate with the overall experience or ambiance. Several sports events played on multiple TV screens while two jazz musicians performed. Very weird. This place seemed to have an identity crisis in terms of whether they want to be a sports bar or a jazz lounge. The jazz musicians were actually decent and would be entertaining if the darn TV screens were shut off. I ordered a second drink. The bartender acknowledged my request but 10 minutes passed and I did not get my drink. He completely forgot to make my drink until I had to remind him again. Oh well. Will return just for the jazz. I hope the service will be better this time with a higher level of bartender service. And oh I hope the darn TVs are switched off especially in the midst of a jazz set.

First, our waiter Christopher was amazing and really went the extra mile to help us.
Second, the overall decor and ambience was very nice and the receptionist when we walked in was super nice and accommodating.
Third ,, crabcakes were absolutely horrible, steak was lacking flavor and was average at best.
Fourth , I would only go to this place to sit at the bar and order an appetizer because it has an amazing atmosphere, decor, plenty of TVs for sporting events.
Finally, eating dinner here is not worth it. Hope this review will motivate management to step it up. If you want to charge Midtown prices on the upper east side, you better be perfect.
I only recommend bar And appetizers

This place is very chic, loved the decor and atmosphere. I was craving lobster Mac and cheese, so I tried there’s and it has to be one of the best I’ve had. I will definitely be coming back

I was really looking forward to trying Catch n’ Chop after moving to the neighborhood, but the experience fell short. My husband and I arrived around 6:45 PM and were seated at a small table that barely fit two plates. The warm bread and butter were great and gave us high hopes. We ordered oysters and charred octopus, but they took quite a while to arrive even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. The oysters were fine, but the octopus was chewy and overly salty. For mains, my husband’s Lobster Diavolo pasta was okay, but my Seared Halibut was so dry and tough that I had to send it back. The replacement — scallops with risotto — was much better, though still a bit salty. Service was slow and inattentive; no one checked on us during the meal, and we only learned about the specials when the waiter was describing them to the table next to us - by then, it was too late to order them. Overall, a few bright spots (like the bread and scallops), but the uneven food and service made the evening disappointing.

This restaurant delivers unreasonably perfect food. The chef mixes flavors in surprising ways. The atmosphere is tidy and endearing. Restaurant workers maintain absolutely flawless service. I appreciate the outstanding support provided.
I came here by myself tonight. I ordered a raspberry sidecar to start my dinner. The drink was very nice. Very balanced. It was smooth and beautiful.
I ordered lobster bisque, a NY strip cooked medium rare, and a side of toasted wild mushrooms.
The bread was quite nice. They gave me one nice looking one and a one that was kinda ugly. Turned out, the look did matter. The nice looking one was way softer than the ugly one.
The lobster bisque was nice. Very pungent and thick. It also had a generous amount of lobster claws meat chunks. However, some of them were a bit overcooked and some were perfectly tender.
The NY strip came out pretty well. The meat was pink and tender. Very flavorful. It came with roasted garlic. The garlic was smooth like mashed potatoes, and it was fragrant but not stinky.
The side of roasted wild mushrooms was very nice, too. Usually, they can be a bit oily and greasy, but here, they were cooked to almost perfectly. Almost, because they were a bit bland, and they were a bit too dry.
Overall, it was a nice restaurant with a good atmosphere. Even though, I still wish they could pick up the speed a bit. Between the time I finished my lobster bisque and my NY strip was served, I waited for 35 minutes. They can probably do that for the party of 2 or more, but for a person who was eating by himself, I’d like to just finish and leave.
