Catch Hospitality, the company behind some of New York City's hottest restaurants, is shifting its focus from party-centric eateries to more intimate destinations where food takes center stage. At the helm of this shift is Eugene Remm, a restaurateur with 20 years of experience under his belt.
Remm's latest venture, Or'esh, is a Mediterranean restaurant set to open in SoHo, with a focus on Levantine cuisine and a coal-fired kitchen. The brainchild of Nadav Greenberg, a veteran chef who previously worked at Michelin-starred ShmonΓ©, the restaurant promises an immersive experience that blends flavors, textures, and presentation.
Diners can expect dishes like Jerusalem bagel with baba ghanoush, matbucha, mint tzatziki, olive oil, and za'atar, as well as a 67-layer wagyu flatiron skewer, lamb kebabs, sweetbreads, and salt-baked whole branzino. Greenberg's commitment to seasonal cooking means that the menu will change regularly, with vegetables in the market salad being updated every month.
Remm's strategy is built on the idea of creating a platform for chefs to shine. Rather than being hands-on himself, he trusts his team to execute their culinary visions, allowing them to take center stage and showcase their talents. This approach has already proven successful at The Corner Store and The Eighty Six, which have become two of Remm's crown jewels.
The restaurateur's vision for Catch Hospitality is one of growth and expansion, with plans to open more restaurants in the coming years. While details are sketchy, Remm has hinted at the possibility of French and Italian restaurants, as well as collaborations with top chefs like Greenberg.
For Remm, this new chapter represents a return to his roots. After opening Meatpacking District nightclub Tenjune 20 years ago, he set off on a path that led to the creation of Catch in 2011. Now, with Or'esh and several other projects in the pipeline, he's redefining what it means to be a restaurateur β one who creates a platform for culinary innovation, rather than just throwing parties.
Remm's ultimate goal is to create an "iPhone" experience, where his chefs are the stars of the show. And with Greenberg at the helm of Or'esh, he's off to a promising start. As the restaurant scene continues to evolve, one thing is certain: Eugene Remm and Catch Hospitality are ready to take center stage.
