We had a confirmed online reservation at Catch for Sunday, February 8th at 7:00 PM, for three people, made well in advance. The reservation was clearly confirmed through the platform, which even sent a confirmation reminder prior to the date.
However, when we arrived on time, the restaurant was completely closed.
Even worse, the hours sign displayed directly on the front door clearly indicated that the restaurant was open on Sundays starting at 5:00 PM. Everything on-site suggested the restaurant should have been operating normally.
While standing outside, we encountered a delivery driver who was there to pick up an order. He called the restaurant right in front of us, and the staff confirmed to him that the restaurant was closed, without providing any explanation — despite the restaurant being listed as open, accepting reservations online, and displaying opening hours on its own door.
No notification, no cancellation email, no apology — nothing. This reflects a serious lack of professionalism and complete disregard for customers’ time. For a restaurant of this standing, this level of mismanagement is unacceptable.
Fortunately, by pure chance, we ended up at Makoto Omakase, near 14th Street and 7th Avenue (Chelsea). What a contrast. An outstanding experience, truly immersive — like being transported to Japan in the heart of Manhattan. An unforgettable dinner that completely saved our evening.
Sadly, Catch was a major disappointment. We will not be returning.

First we were greeted by Sophie who was so friendly and accommodating. Got us a great table. Then Brendan our waiter had some great advice on our food choices, and he was bang on! We loved everything. I liked Sushi my didn't love it, until now. The cooks add some great flavors to everything we tried. The place is amazing go there!

Great view and amazing roof deck for the summer. Food experience is not so good: $110 for a chef sushi plate (8 pieces) with average quality as well as the 6 oysters. Very disappointed. The service is slow and not efficient …. Long wait. Good for drinks on the roof deck outside in summer but not recommended for food.

I ordered a whole Branzino to go and when I arrived home I found the head of a black devil fish better known as Lophius piscatorius. I’m not sure if they got the two confused but it wasn’t a pleasant site to see. I sure hope this doesn’t happen in the future, catch is overall a great place to visit.

The food was delicious and the vibes were on point but my favorite part of the visit was Jason! He took the time to make sure that we were good and that the food was up to our standards! 10/10 would recommend, must ask for Jason!

CATCH NYC – A 10/10 Group Experience! If you’re looking for the perfect spot for a group dinner, look no further. We came in with a group of 6 and the entire experience was a 10/10. The atmosphere was buzzing, the service was seamless for a larger table, and the food was incredible from start to finish. Highly recommend!
What We Ordered:
The Starters: We kicked things off with a mix of seafood. The Truffle Sashimi and Tuna Tartare were incredibly fresh. But the real star of the starters was the Crispy Shrimp—the spicy mayo and tobiko gave it the perfect kick.
The Sushi: We shared a few rolls, and the Catch Roll (crab and salmon with miso-honey) is a must-order. It’s a signature for a reason!
The Main Event: For the meal, the Lobster was the absolute highlight. We had the Cantonese Lobster, and it was cooked to perfection—super succulent and flavorful. We also loved the Hellfire Roll and the Wagyu Surf & Turf Roll which brought together that lobster and beef combo perfectly.
