Eugene Remm, the mastermind behind Catch Hospitality Group, has declared war on traditional restaurant formats. Gone are the days of loud, clubby restaurants where food takes a backseat to parties and celebrity sightings. Remm is putting food first, embracing a culinary-first approach that's transforming the dining landscape in New York and beyond.
The success of his flagship Catch restaurants – with locations in Las Vegas, Aspen, Miami, and Scottsdale – has paved the way for two new ventures: Or'esh, a Mediterranean restaurant in SoHo, and an as-yet-unnamed all-day destination in the West Village. At the helm of these eateries is Nadav Greenberg, a talented chef who previously worked at Eyal Shani's Michelin-starred Shmoné.
Or'esh promises to transport diners to the Levant region of the Mediterranean, with dishes like 67-layer wagyu flatiron skewer, lamb kebabs, and sweetbreads. The 75-seat restaurant will showcase Greenberg's passion for seasonal cooking, with a market salad that changes every month. "I want to be honest with you," Remm says, "Two years ago, I didn't know what Levantine meant." Now, he's dedicating himself to capturing the essence of this culinary region.
Remm's vision for Or'esh is built on Greenberg's expertise and passion. The restaurant will feature a custom-built coal-fired kitchen, where diners can experience bold flavors like za'atar, olive oil, and lamb. At Catch, Remm has always trusted his chefs to take center stage, but this time, he's letting them shine even brighter.
Remm's ambitions extend beyond Or'esh. He plans to open French and Italian restaurants, should he find the right culinary minds to join his team. His goal is to create a platform that empowers talented chefs to execute their visions, without interference from the owner. "This is a part of the business that I believe is the biggest opportunity of growth," Remm says.
By putting food at the forefront, Remm is revolutionizing the dining experience in New York and beyond. It's not just about creating great restaurants; it's about giving chefs the freedom to innovate and express themselves. As one might say about an iPhone, Remm wants his culinary ventures to be Instagram-worthy – memorable, exciting, and above all, delicious.
