  • wedding party dinner, party of 20
    A group of 20 individuals. Private room. Exceptional service. The food was impeccable from the start to the end. The wedding party was truly a joyous occasion. I must mention once again, the service. It was truly exceptional. They all greeted us warmly and welcomed us to join them. I travelled from Boston for this event. And I must say, the team from the doorman to the servers made it a worthwhile experience.
  • group tasting menu, party of 10
    I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Every dish in the “Hits II” tasting menu surpassed expectations and was delicious. Unfortunately, it cannot get 5 stars because the service was very slow, and they put a group of 10 of us at a table that was better suited for 6, or maybe 8–but definitely not 10 being forced to sit shoulder to shoulder.
  • group dinner, party of 12
    Delicious entrees with generous portions. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Bar makes a very smooth Manhattan cocktail. Easily accommodated our party of 12.
  • milestone birthday, party of 10
    Avoid!! They cancelled our milestone birthday celebration 48 hrs before the event for April 25. 10 people all flying in to enjoy a birthday celebration now scrambling to make other arrangements. So disappointed. They have a few sister restaurants and did not even provide any options to dine elsewhere.
  • group dinner, party of 7
    I dined at Catch NYC with a group of seven. We had an 8:30 PM reservation, but unfortunately weren’t seated until 9:32 PM. That delay—over an hour—was frustrating and definitely put a damper on the start of our night. The explanation given was simply that it was a busy Friday and they had to wait to prep a table, which didn’t feel like a strong excuse given we had a confirmed reservation. That said, once we were finally seated, the experience took a turn for the better. The ambiance was lively and energetic, and the food was exceptional. I had the steak dinner, and it was truly a 10 out of 10—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and well-presented. The service once we were at the table was also solid. Overall, while the wait was disappointing, the quality of the food did help redeem the evening. I’d consider going back but definitely with the understanding that even a reservation doesn’t guarantee a timely seating on a weekend.
