Catch & Chop

Stoked this is in the neighborhood!! Gorgeous restaurant and all of the dishes knocked our socks off. Chicken roasted perfectly and the seared Halibut and Salmon were both delicious. Loved sitting in the beautiful bar/patio area. Epic wine list and spirits list. And the BREAD. It’s pretzel bread! So so so good. Service was great. It’s our new go-to spot.

I've been to all the major steakhouses (Peter lugars, Wolfgang’s, etc… ) and this place served used a perfectly cooked porterhouse for two. The steak quality was outstanding and every bite melted in my mouth. The cream of spinach and truffle fries were also great. We will definitely be back. The peppercorn sauce was amazing.

we loved the ambience of the place and the service was a 10/10 !! our server was really friendly and sweet and attended to every need. the hostess was really nice and welcoming. the food was also really amazing. we had the steak and pasta for entrees. the steak was cooked to my preference and juicy!! the lobster pasta was slightly spicy and really good. will definitely be back!!

I went here on a weekend evening for date night and had a great experience. They were able to easily accommodate a party of two with short notice. The vibe is dark lit and romantic, but we liked that they also have TVs at the bar area in case we want a more casual evening. My partner had the thick cut bacon, filet mignon, and lobster mac and cheese, and enjoyed all dishes. I am vegetarian and typically don’t have high hopes with a steak house, but the Caesar salad was delicious and the cauliflower steak was well seasoned. Everything was cooked as ordered, and the portions were large enough to take home leftovers. We especially appreciated the staff’s attention to detail. Our server, Richard, checked on us frequently. The head chef, Jose, also came to check on us and was very personable. If you are looking for a new restaurant in the area to try, I recommend this.

This restaurant is a gem! Delicious food with perfectly balanced flavors. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I can’t wait to come back—highly recommend!

We tried the small catch, charred octopus, jumbo asparagus, and the lava cake. The charred octopus was absolutely amazing. The paste it sits in goes with everything we had. It is a tomato base and includes capers and small white beans. The oysters and crab meat were very fresh. The asparagus could have been cooked an extra two minutes and needed salt but it was okay. The lava cake comes with Oreo ice cream. The ice cream isn’t too sweet and has good flakes. The lava cake was rich and a perfect ending to our meal. They don’t participate in restaurant week despite being on the list but the variety of meals we tried left us satisfied as we created our own sample menu and paid about the same. For two our bill with tax and tip was a little over $200 including one drink for us both.

So happy this space is back open! Beautifully renovated, amazing atmosphere and great ambience. Food was great! We had the halibut, rotisserie chicken, burrata and chopped salad. 10/10 Exactly what I expected from the owners of Sienna Cafe! Will be back!

We (seven guests) dined here for my boyfriend’s birthday tonight, and it was a wonderful and delicious experience. We made a last minute reservation, and both hostesses (I wish I had caught their names!) were very warm, helpful, and accommodating. As we entered, I discreetly mentioned to one hostess that it was his birthday, and she said she would take care of it. They surprised us with a bottle of champagne at the table! Unfortunately, my partner doesn’t drink, so they quickly brought him a mocktail. They also brought out the most INCREDIBLE coconut sorbet with a candle at the end of the meal. Would come back for the sorbet alone! My boyfriend had the ribeye and octopus, and I had a few oysters and the halibut. Everything was a highlight- the puree that perfectly complemented the tender octopus, the savory roasted garlic served with every well-seasoned steak, the colorful beet risotto that elevated the flavor of the halibut, and more. Other members of our party also thoroughly enjoyed the branzino and the roasted chicken. The restaurant has an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, with tailored, stylish decor. Our server Sonya was attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. My halibut was overcooked, and when I mentioned this to her, she replaced it with a new one and had it removed from the bill as well. I also enjoyed her wine recommendation. The standard of service is excellent here- from the second we arrived until the moment we left. Looking forward to the next time I get the chance to dine here.

This place exceeded my expectations! The food was fresh, the portions were generous, and the service was excellent.

What a neighborhood gem! Boyfriend and I came due to the sign outside stating live jazz Tuesday's and Thursday's - such a fun vibe! Space was gorgeous. Main dining room is separated from the bar area, but we are definitely planning to return for both vibes, as the bar had tvs. Would be fun for a game and steak night! Dinner was excellent, as was the service. We had oysters/shrimp first from the raw bar which were stellar, tuna tartare and octopus for our apps. Tartare was unbelievably good, octopus was a touch overcooked but the flavors of the dish were excellent and it didn't detract from our enjoyment. Now, I love steak but am usually pretty underwhelmed by steaks at steakhouses, hate chewy or fatty steaks, and never get the cook I want. This was literally my favorite steak of my life, and very high on my boyfriend's list (although he couldn't name a better one). Melt in your mouth strip with a great crust and perfect cook, flavors on point. Complemented by the crispy onion strings (would return for literally just a vat of these) and the delicious mushrooms. Meal was PERFECT. So much food, took some steak home which I'm pumped to eat today. Can't believe we have this spot a block away, exciting and also a little dangerous. We will absolutely be back.

This was the best culinary experience I had in a while. The hostess welcomed her and took our coats with a warm smile. The musicians were getting ready (they have a live band on Tuesdays and Thursdays) and the place was slowly getting packed. We started with the tuna tartare that was more generously portioned than I imagined and it was the best I had in my life. The subtle addition of sesame oil on the cracker was a nice surprise. For the main I took the seared halibut on beet risotto and mushrooms. I was beautiful and really good, but maybe a bit too cooked and crispy for my taste. Delicious nonetheless. My friend had the pork chop and it was perfectly cooked. We had a side of Mac and cheese that I would highly recommend ordering. For desert, we had the flourless chocolate sesame cake and it was incredible. I love sesame and the flavor mixed magnificently with the chocolate. Amazing experience. I'll go again to try something different. I feel like this is the kind of place where everything on the menu is good.

The food was spectacular! Probably one of the best steaks I've eaten in my life, the service on the other hand is equally as good lightning fast and very friendly, and finally the ambiance was very fitting, I loved where I sat and it seemed to enhance my experience, recommended! 5 stars

This brand new restaurant/bar is doing it right and much needed in this area! The ambiance is on point. Different style seating that accommodates to your event. The wrap around intimiate sidewalk (indoor) seating behind the bar is a hidden gem in my eyes. You are tucked away from the bar and restaurant scene where you can gaze into your dates eyes and share a few laughs. The bar is ginormous! Sitting here gives you that fancy bar feel with perfectly dimmed lighting. The restaurant seating and decor makes you feel cozy for those big dinner parties. The service is top notch... from the hostess to your waiter, they are knowledgeable and courteous. Never felt rushed and more importantly, the suggestions made were solid. To the best part, the food and the housemade cocktails. It was sooooooo tasty and perfect! The pictures don't give it justice. You have to try to believe it, not a bad dish had! I can't even make a recommendation because all of it was amazing. The cocktail list looked yummy, all of it! I went with a tequila cocktail that went down soooo smooth and still packed a mean punch! After a few, I was feelin nice and had to pump the brakes just to enjoy the food. This spot will have you coming back, whether for a drink, an enjoyable meal or for the staff and ambiance. You can capture some solid IG pics here... enjoy! FYI: They have a private room with a bar downstairs if you choose to hold an event.

We have been waiting for this restaurant to open, and it finally has! (We visited on 08/09 so during its first week). If I could eat more I would have definitely ordered more food, but that just means I need to go back. Our table was not ready when we arrived so we waited at the bar. Unfortunately they did not have their liquor license yet so we were only able to order beer and wine. The cocktail menu sounds unique and interesting so I am definitely looking forward to trying them next time. The bar has 3 TVs where they were playing sports with no sound and can sit about 20 people or so. The inside was dimmed and has various styles of seating (bar, booths, tables). It definitely has a more fancy/ intimate feeling to it. Our service was so-so but I think it was first week jitters. The hosts weren't very clear as to how long we'd be waiting for our table that we made a reservation for. While at the bar they never came to us, and instead we had to check back in once we realized it has been 10 minutes past the reservation. At the bar they initially didn't tell us it was beer and wine only so we spent more time trying to figure out what to order. Once we were seated our waitress was AMAZING. I think her name was Sarah? She had great suggestions and made us feel super welcomed and comfortable. Now to the food... IT WAS ALL SO GOOD!!! - Charred Octopus (4/5) - Lobster Diavolo !!!!! Definitely a highlight and also on the spicier side. (5/5) - NY Strip w/ Garlic Mashed Potato & Grilled Jumbo Asparagus (5/5) - Cheesecake (3/5) Will definitely come back for the rest of the menu. So happy for this addition in the UES!

As a Parlor Steakhouse truther (gone to soon), I was glad to see that something has finally filled the space after years of vacancy. My dining experience, however, left me missing Parlor even more. The ambience and design of the restaurant is very nice, and the staff are hospitable but there is still work to be done in the menu, and the food and drink left me wanting a bit more. The roasted half chicken dish while topped with chimichurri would've benefited from another dose of acidity across the board, and the lemon potatoes were definitely more like paprika breakfast potato esque (still good but false advertising). The portion size was appropriate. I was left wondering why they didn't yet have a burger on the menu as it would be a nice meat option beside the equally heavy lamb chops and steak choices but maybe that's in the works down the line. The drink menu was appealing with many Hawaiian inspired concoctions - my master cleanse was exactly that - a spicy opener that turned muted in taste after each sip. There was also an egg white cognac combination that needed a bit more depth. All in all, Catch 'n Chop has potential but I think slight menu tweaks will take it in the right direction. Another chance will definitely be had but Parlor still takes the cake for now...

New location..... swung by solo at the bar had the bone in ribeye and cream Spinach. Booth were amazing, the bartender was very attentive and the hostess greeting and guiding me to the Bar was very hospitable. Will def be back again.

Had SUCH a fantastic meal at Catch 'n Chop. The whole experience was great and one of the best meals we've had in a while. The steaks were extremely tender and came with roasted garlic bulbs and the most delicious peppercorn sauce. Everything came out very hot and perfectly timed. Drinks were great, though we ordered classic cocktails not the ones on the craft cocktail menu. Manhattan and French 75 were great. Sides were amazing. Creamed spinach, crispy onions and mac and cheese were a great complement to the steaks. The garlic mashed potatoes weren't anything special but everyone was so great that it didn't bother us. This is a great new spot on the UES and with the fantastic service and food, we will definitely be back.

Great experience at catch and chop. A little overpriced but service was good and food was decent. Nice dining room and polite and attentive staff. We will probably return for another meal.

First time last night. Was spectacular! Ambience classy and cozy. Our waiter Brian was A+. Haven't had a professional server like that in maybe ever. The food and I mean every bite of everything was utterly delicious. Our whole group was delighted and look forward to our next visit.

Ah ... a new steak restaurant on the UES. YEAH! We had been looking forward to going to this restaurant for a good while... especially after reading so many phenomenal reviews. Finally made our way there a few weeks ago. DISAPPOINTED just doesn't begin to describe it. I ordered the Bone-in Rib-eye and my friend ordered the NY strip steak. There was a small little bone on the side of my Rib-eye going INTO the middle of the rib-eye ... vs a nice long bone down the edge of the steak... as it always is everywhere else. There was SO MUCH FAT and GRIZZLE that I hardly had a decent proper bite of steak, LITERALLY ... trying to cut around/ thru all of the fat& grizzle. I love mashed potatoes and I love cream spinach but theirs just didn't taste right ... to me... nor my friend. Anyway .... After we left and looked at the receipt ... we saw that they gave us 2 Rib-eye steak vs the 1 rib-eye and 1 strip steak we ordered. It was just all wrong. Perhaps an off night? For a $250 steak dinner for 2 ... I'll go to Peter Luger's or Bobby Vans in a heartbeat. At Bobby Vans I had the most beautiful Rib-eye steak and lobster tail. The steak was like butter, lobster tail WOW!, ... delicious creamed spinach and baked potato. And Peter Luger's never misses. Don't waste your money here. Go to a "staple steakhouse" ... where you know you'll always enjoy your meal ... no less when you're spending $250 for dinner for 2. It felt like we threw that money right down the drain. I'd rather have 2 dinners at MAZ MECAL or SIENA or ... or ... or ... always delicious. I'm planning my next visit to Bobby Vans ... because it was MORE THAN MOUTH-WATERING!

Love that Catch 'n Chop has non-alcoholic beer on draft! The food and overall ambiance is good.

Came for brunch twice and I'll come back for dinner. Drinks were good. Brunch menu has great options and very reasonably priced. Service was good. Food came out quickly, which was great, but we were not rushed. Lots of flavor in the dishes. Loved the chicken and waffles and I'm not a waffle or fried chicken person, but it is outstanding! Syrup has a kick and the chicken breading is crispy and light. The steak is very flavorful and tender. Espresso martini ooooof! One of the best I have had. They also do pitcher options and BYOB for an open cork fee. Was very impressed by the brunch. I'll be back. Also, the space wasn't loud and abrasive, like some brunch spots. Space is classy and has good light relaxing energy. Management is super present on the floor.

Excellent Excellent Excellent This restaurant was outstanding The service was phenomenal The food was phenomenal and our waiter Richard was outstanding. We went for a special occasion for my parents and this restaurant did not disappoint The lobster, pork chops and the crispy onion strings, the 3 macaroni and cheese, garlic mashed potato and the crab cakes It was great!! Our waiter was attentive, helpful - he knew the menu and was very enthusiastic about his job and the experience at the restaurant. The ambiance was nice. Thank you for a great evening.

Everything was very good here. The steak was perfect. Had the creamed spinach and onion sticks, nice. Then the whole fish. Excellent. Thanks

Great food! Amazing service and the ambiance is spectacular! They really did it up since the last restaurant. Love this place

Great atmosphere, superior food and d service. Had a simple dinner at the bar, which is clearly designed to be a dining option. TVs at the bat, but sound wasn't on so not obtrusive. Danny, the bartender, very personable. Had the pork chop with vegetable slaw, and a glass of dry Riesling. All delicious. The restaurant was not overly lit, giving it great atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Wow. i did not expect what I walked into. The lighting, the music, and the vibe in general was incredible. I was able to make it during happy hour with my brother and ended up getting the steak sandwich, the fish tacos and the fired calamari. i honestly can't tell you what was better. Danny (our waiter) was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the cocktail specialties. "Sweatah weathah" definitely did not disappoint. I definitely recommend this place and will be back soon!

They're now open for weekend brunch. Much needed in our hood. I had the meatball appitizer. Ceaser salad with chicken as a main course. All excellent as was the most attentive service. Obviously, I'll be back. Highly recommended.

First with the good: The place is beautiful, the staff is excellent, Danny behind the bar is fantastic, it feels good inside. The steak was cooked perfectly. Excellent dirty martinis. Great house Cab. Now, the bad: The food - just not up to snuff. The oysters weren't good, that was to start. I love oysters. Disappointing. The steak was tender but way too salty. The creamed spinach? Inedible. The amount of salt in there would have scared the biggest of salt lovers and it was served clumpy. With all of the incredible steak places in Manhattan, this place doesn't come close. If you're going to drop $60 on a steak, it needs to be excellent. A drink or 2 at the bar? Go for it. A full meal? Go elsewhere. Overall grade is a C

Excellent brunch. Nice menu reasonable prices and good atmosphere. What more could you ask for?

We got to experience Catch 'n Chop as the first guests and it was such a treat! The food was cooked to perfection, ambience was spectacular, service was over the top excellent. I had the filet and my GF had the pork chop. Both were amazing! The waiter Ozzy even gave us a tour of the restaurant and introduced us to the manager. 10 out of 10. We'll be back! Exactly what the neighborhood needed.

The food was okay but the service was very poor-- dinner took a very long time to come out. The bread was cleared away after the salad was done rather than waiting for the main course, The waiter was nice but obviously very inexperienced as was much of the wait staff. I was very disappointed. Restaurant is well decorated.

The food was great! Excellent service. I would definitely go back!! My steak was cooked to perfection. This restaurant is a well needed addition to the upper east side!

Food and service were absolutely amazing! I promise, trust me when I say ask for Chris, Brian, and Daisy. Best serving team ever that made the amazing food and drinks that much better. I will certainly be a repeat customer!

I have enjoyed there a great Caesar salad with steak, one of the best I ever had , as well as the hamburger and the aged steak ....all were great

Great food and service. Good for groups and the menu was varied enough for kids to enjoy.

Growing pains - food too spicy but manager welcomed our input- maybe better next time

At the former location of the beloved Parlor steakhouse, we were very much looking forward to trying C&C. Evening started fine but went downhill after the entrees came. Two steaks came out very overcooked-- cardinal sin for a steakhouse-- and waiter didn't check on us until almost done with the meal, despite a light crowd. Would have been a 1-star review except for: a) good flavor on the steaks that were cooked properly, and b) helpful manager who tried to remedy the situation.

Very nice ambiance and service. No liquor license yet except beer and wine. Hope the bar menu will improve and include a burger.

Just opened so tried it out and got the bone in ribeye. It was basically perfect that cut--extremely tasty. I will go back and try the Porterhouse and NY Strip. A welcome addition to the neighborhood for sure.

We were so excited to try this new addition to the neighborhood and honestly, it exceeded our expectations! We were so happy with the food, atmosphere and the whole experience. Our server, Mable, was so lovely and her recommendations were on the money (think peppercorn sauce with the pork chop). We over ordered because we wanted to try so many things. We had the crab cakes, grilled caesar salad and tuna tartare to start, and then the pork chop, filet mignon, roasted wild mushrooms, halibut and a pasta special (bucatini with clams). Everything was truly fantastic! The wine was great, the side indoor patio with the window open perfect for a mild October night. It will definitely be a fixture in our rotation (that was our wallet crying but pay no mind). Even the huge bar, with a few televisions showing sports, is a great option just to have a few drinks or even grab dinner. Can't wait to go back!

Beautiful new renovation to the old Parlor Steakhouse building from new owners, who also apparently own Siena down the block, but whoa. Wildly expensive menu - doesn't even list a burger* and the cheapest main course is $32 - but it's not so much the prices as the fact the service, while friendly, simply doesn't deliver to match those prices. On a not-especially-busy night recently it took way too long for us to be even acknowledged when we sat down, then (basic - not cocktails) drinks took way too long time to arrive, and then the food did, too. Maybe they're understaffed? My appetizer took an overly rlong time to turn up, and it transpired a server had been walking around with it asking random people if they'd ordered it (I hadn't noticed). That appetizer, incidentally, was a plate of $7-per-piece shrimp, but those were sad little supermarket-sized shrimp, not the giant ones you'd expect for $7. My other food was good but not great. I'll go back to try it again, but I hope this doesn't turn out to be like the nearby Voglia, which also charges wild-ass prices that just don't match up to the experience. *There is apparently a Bar Special burger that isn't on the menu (?), don't know what it costs.
