Catch Steak

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Positioned beside the mountains on East Hopkins Avenue, Catch Steak Aspen brings together the authority of a classic steakhouse and the energetic vibe that defines Catch Hospitality Group properties. The result is a steakhouse and seafood restaurant that feels both serious about its craft and genuinely alive — the kind of place where a 45-day cave-aged tomahawk and a spicy tuna roll can share the same table without contradiction.

The Space

The restaurant unfolds across two levels, each with its own personality. The main dining room offers open-kitchen views, keeping the energy visible and immediate. Step outside to the outdoor terrace and the scene shifts — panoramic views of Aspen Mountain frame every meal. Private events find their home in the Red Room on the secluded second level: reclaimed wood, velvet walls, a massive marble bar, and its own private entrance make it one of the more distinctive event spaces in the Rockies.

What's on the Plate

The menu is built around a clear conviction: source specifically, then let provenance speak. Steaks are traced to named farms and towns — a grass-fed NY strip from Greeley, Colorado; a bone-in filet from Waucoma, Iowa; a prime rib cap aged 28 days from Fort Morgan. The aged cuts rest in a 200-year-old cave-aging room, and the large-format options — a 40 oz prime tomahawk aged 35 days, a 32 oz prime porterhouse aged 45 days — are built for the table to share.

The Japanese Wagyu program goes further still, presenting five distinct prefectures cooked tableside: true A5 Kobe from Hyogo, Snow Beef from Hokkaido, Ohmi ("The Emperor's Beef") from Shiga, and others, available individually or as a five-piece flight. It's a rare depth of selection for a mountain steakhouse.

The seafood side of the menu — the "Catch" in Catch Steak — runs from East Coast oysters with cucumber-chardonnay mignonette and Pacific hamachi crudo with yuzu-pear relish, to baked king crab hand rolls and Maine lobster spaghetti a la scampi. Crunchy rice cakes, caviar service with housemade waffles, and signature rolls round out a menu that earns the dual steakhouse and seafood billing without compromise.

Recognition

The wine program earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence in 2022 — a fitting complement to a list of cuts and preparations that reward careful pairing. For a destination that already draws on Aspen's appetite for quality, that recognition adds another reason to linger over a second glass.
