New Yorkers have had an incredible response to Catch in particular. Catch was instantly successful after opening in October of 2011. In addition to the sleek décor and friendly atmosphere, the menu showcases globally inspired seafood dishes that are nothing short of impeccable and delicious.

The seafood dishes at Catch, prepared by Top Chef winner Hung Huynh, have been described as “expertly cooked” and “mouth-watering.” The scallops are jumbo sized and cooked to perfection. The whole snapper is deep-fried, fluffy and enormous – both in size and taste. The scallop dumplings are also to-die-for.
