Eugene Remm's Vision: Catch Hospitality Group Sees Expansion with Food-First Approach
Eugene Remm, the mastermind behind Catch Hospitality Group, is shifting his focus from large, lively venues to more intimate destinations where food takes center stage. With a string of successful restaurants under his belt, including The Corner Store and The Eighty Six, Remm is now ready to solidify his standing as one of New York's most influential restaurateurs.
Remm's latest venture, Or'esh, a Mediterranean restaurant with a focus on Levantine cuisine, marks another significant move towards a food-first approach. Led by Nadav Greenberg, who previously worked as executive chef at Eyal Shani's Michelin-starred Shmoné, the 75-seat Or'esh will offer a unique dining experience that showcases the flavors and ingredients of the Mediterranean region.
The restaurant's menu boasts an array of dishes, including a Jerusalem bagel with baba ghanoush, matbucha, mint tzatziki, olive oil, and za'atar, as well as coal-kissed Ora King salmon crudo, charred greens, chicken liver cigars, house-made pasta, and crispy potatoes with caviar. Greenberg's vision for Or'esh is centered around the Mediterranean diet, emphasizing the importance of fresh, seasonal ingredients and traditional cooking methods.
Remm's approach to restaurant ownership has undergone a significant shift in recent years. Gone are the days of loud, party-filled venues; instead, he seeks to create warm, inviting spaces that put food at the forefront. Catch Hospitality Group's new restaurants will cater to this trend, offering a more intimate and personalized dining experience.
"We want to be the hardware while having our chefs be the software," Remm explains. "The way I look at it is like, I want to be the iPhone, but Nadav could be Instagram." He aims to find talented culinary minds to join his team, open French and Italian restaurants, and explore new concepts that showcase exceptional cuisine.
Remm's business model has proven successful, with a loyal following of customers who appreciate his attention to detail and commitment to quality. As Catch Hospitality Group expands its offerings, it's clear that Remm's vision for food-first dining is not only gaining momentum but also redefining the restaurant landscape in New York City.

they're bringing that Mediterranean vibe to NYC and I am HERE FOR IT 
Nadav Greenberg's menu looks insane - that Jerusalem bagel with baba ghanoush is giving me life 
️ Remm's focus on food-first dining is so on point, I love how he's shifting the energy from loud bars to intimate restaurants where you can actually enjoy your meal without screaming 
Is Or'esh really just a fancy way of saying "fine dining with a Mediterranean twist"? I mean, 75 seats sounds kinda small for a trendy new spot like that. And what's up with the emphasis on "traditional cooking methods" - is that code for "we're not innovating enough"? 
Also, Nadav Greenberg used to work at Eyal Shani's Michelin-starred restaurant... isn't that just another way of saying "we hired a chef who has experience working in high-end kitchens"? 
And I'm all for that 'hardware + software' approach, it's like they're building a culinary app instead of just serving the usual pub fare 
. Remm's been successful so far, but I wonder if he's taking a risk by toning it down like this... what's next, just a bunch of quiet cafes? 
. or'esh sounds like a game-changer for mediterranean cuisine in nyc, can't wait to try it out 
. remm's dedication to quality and freshness is exactly what the industry needs right now 
, let's see more of this type of approach come through
who wouldn't want a Jerusalem bagel with baba ghanoush and matbucha? 
Nadav Greenberg's vision is so inspiring 
the food first approach sounds super appealing to me, like who doesn't love a good meal? the menu seems pretty diverse too, from jerusalem bagels to coal-kissed salmon crudo. i think it's cool that remm is shifting his focus towards more intimate restaurants, it feels like everyone could use a quiet night out with some great grub 
Nadav Greenberg's got some serious culinary skills, i'm hyped to try it out 
catch hospitality group's expansion plans are looking good too, more restaurants like this is what nyc needs
