Known for attracting A-listers in its New York City and Hollywood locations—and following the debut of Rockwell Group’s design for CATCH Las Vegas—a new CATCH steakhouse concept opens at a unique indoor/outdoor location at the Maritime Hotel in the Meatpacking District. The restaurant combines classic steakhouse motifs with a lighter and brighter style for a more approachable and vibrant experience. Facing 9th Avenue with a unique outdoor dining experience, CATCH Steak was inspired by the rich history of New York City’s Meatpacking district and its industrial past with a unique light, bright, and inviting design aesthetic that strays from the typical dark and moody steakhouse. From the street, guests see a semi-enclosed outdoor courtyard, with a blackened metal and teak wood criss-cross screen filled with greenery. Black glazed brick tile wraps the entry façade, grounding the restaurant in its industrial setting near the High Line. As is customary at CATCH locations, guests then traverse an immersive entry tunnel. A custom red and white marble hounds tooth mosaic tile floor showcases the first appearance of red marble used throughout the restaurant, specifically chosen based on its complex graining pattern. Custom hardwired sconces with a frosted glass chicken wire shade light the path and a mirror-finished ceiling enhances the immersive feeling. Peek-a-boo windows on the left side of the tunnel give a glimpse into the bar. The vitrine-like vestibule features a metal mullion system with mixed textures of glass for a layered but clean look. Oxblood marble floors meet reclaimed wood details and a polished copper host stand. Fluted glass pendants hang from leather straps. Playful, layered drapery is composed of a rich red fabric, a track with copper metal mesh, and oxblood-colored tassels at different heights. The host vestibule leads to a large bar and a feature stair to the second floor overflow dining/club lounge. The stair has a custom marble mosaic in a cream, amber, and orange marble plaid that covers the risers and tread, adding a vintage carpet runner feel. Adjacent to the feature stair, the entry bar is the moodiest space at CATCH Steak, paying homage to the classic steakhouse with black and white photographs of the Meatpacking’s heyday. The back bar—inspired by trusses and city architecture—is a sheet of copper metal with marquee lights that wraps up the wall and onto the ceiling, creating an infinite amber glow. A bakery counter on the opposite side of the stair marks the entry to the main dining room and contains a work surface for pastry and bread baking. Its façade is composed of blackened metal mullions filled with panels of white marble and textured glass. The sophisticated, light dining room features a cream, taupe, and brick palette with a shimmering plaster back wall. Custom, massive wall-mounted mirrors hold industrial fluted glass sconces and leather strap details. Banquettes have a bent metal aesthetic with light leather tone-on-tone channel tufted stripes. Black leather dining chairs and dining tables have copper rivets and studs. Woven caning details at the tops of the banquettes adds a vintage and outdoor inspired feel to the room. A suspended copper metal grid chandelier is the focal point of the room, and is hung with milk glass bulbs. Reclaimed wood details are dispersed throughout the space. An arched glass and metal passage, framed within a brick wall leads to an overflow dining space showcasing the glass-walled wine room beyond. Connected by an operable glass wall to an outdoor patio on the corner of West 16th Street, the PDR has the feel of a speakeasy and authentic steakhouse with a surreal, playful twist. Red and black velvet damask wallcovering cloaks the room, and a collection of art frames follow the barrel curve of the ceiling. Two large round dining tables have custom red marble Lazy Susans at their centers. A vintage inspired red marble fireplace is double-sided and serves as the more modern, steel fireplace for the outdoor courtyard dining space on 9th Avenue. The lattice wall is a focal point of the courtyard and incorporates mixed metal and teak wood elements. Green foliage creates a hidden garden feel. Two feature banquettes are enclosed in oversized cages, which ground the courtyard and look out onto 9th Avenue. The north cabana on the second floor features a clubby, warm lounge and bar with red accents, while the south cabana has a 2,000-square-foot space for private dining and events. Outdoor dining at both the south and north cabana is covered by retractable roofs with an awning and drapery. Rockwell Group designed custom wallcovering with male and female cow mascots for the restrooms. Mosaic tiles in the floor spelling W and M in cursive mimic vintage subway signage.
