Catch NYC: Meatpacking’s Tri-Level Seafood, Sushi & Steak Destination
Catch is a globally influenced seafood restaurant set in a landmark Meatpacking building — a 400-seat, tri-level room that recently celebrated 15 years with a refreshed space by the Rockwell Group and a sharpened, food-first focus. It marries seafood, sushi, and steak in a streaming, shareable style, with the fish and sushi flown in from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market.
The greatest hits are built for the table — the Catch Roll, Truffle Sashimi, A5 Japanese Wagyu cooked tableside on a hot rock, Mushroom Spaghetti, and Cantonese Lobster — alongside newer additions like Crudo di Catch and Angry Lobster Pasta, and a cocktail program led by the Catch Dirty Martini. It’s engineered for a celebratory, see-and-be-seen night, and the happy hour — half-price oysters, 6 to 8pm on weekdays — is the rare way in without the full bill.
The Happy Hour
The anchor deal is half-price oysters Monday–Friday, 6–8pm — with review-attested extras worth confirming:
- Mon–Fri 6–8pm — half-priced oysters — the confirmed core of the happy hour
- Mondays — an all-day happy hour, per regulars
- $12 espresso martini — plus 50% off bar snacks on Fridays (review-attested)
- Happy-hour pricing here isn’t ‘cheap’ so much as a discount on a destination — confirm the current deal, as it shifts. Bar seating is limited; there are tables in the back.
The Food
Catch is a tri-level destination that marries seafood, sushi, and steak in a streaming, shareable style, with seafood and sushi flown in from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market. The menu’s greatest hits — the Catch Roll, Truffle Sashimi, A5 Japanese Wagyu cooked tableside on a hot rock, Mushroom Spaghetti, and Cantonese Lobster — are built for the table, joined by newer plates like Crudo di Catch and Angry Lobster Pasta and reimagined favorites like the Baked Lobster Mac & Cheese. The refined cocktail program leads with the Catch Dirty Martini, served with furikake mascarpone olives.
The Room & Rooftop
Set in a landmark Meatpacking building and freshly redone by the Rockwell Group, Catch spreads across three levels — an oyster bar and bistro on the first floor, an open kitchen and chef’s tables on the second, and a glass-enclosed lounge and rooftop terrace up top with panoramic city views. The vibe is high-energy and see-and-be-seen: low lights, a stylish crowd, and a disco ball after dark. It works as easily for a group dinner or a celebration as it does for drinks and a few towers at the bar.
The Room
Catch sits at 21 Ninth Avenue at 13th Street, in a landmark building in the heart of the Meatpacking District, running from a buzzy main dining floor up to the rooftop. The vibe is high-energy and see-and-be-seen — low lights, a disco ball at night, and a crowd dressed for it — which makes it as much a night-out destination as a seafood restaurant. The A/C/E/L at 14th St–8th Ave are a short walk, and the High Line is a block away.
