Tilman Fertitta hosts Bruno Mars, The Chainsmokers and more at Catch Steak LA grand opening party

Tilman Fertitta has expanded his West Coast empire. The Galveston native best known locally as owner of Landry's Inc. and the Houston Rockets has also set his sights on hospitality ventures outside of Texas in recent years. Earlier this month, Fertitta and Catch Hospitality Group business partners Mark Birnbaum and Eugene Remm opened the newest location of Catch Steak in West Hollywood. The Los Angeles outpost boasts a recognizable address in famed Melrose Avenue. From its perch on the corner of La Cienega, Catch Steak LA has some high-profile neighbors, too; Balmain, Bottega Veneta, Oscar de la Renta and Jonathan Simkhai all have storefronts nearby.

To christen the restaurant's 13,000-square foot space, a gaggle of celebrity names feted the housewarming. Bruno Mars, Gabrielle Union, Chris Paul, will i am, Hailee Steinfeld, Ashlee Simpson, Evan Ross, Cedric the Entertainer, Marlon Wayans and The Chainsmokers' Alex Pall and Drew Taggart were all in attendance. Mars joined Anderson .Paak, a.k.a. Silk Sonic, onstage to perform "Leave the Door Open." “This is our sixth Catch Restaurant in the nation and second location in Los Angeles,” Fertitta said via statement. “The support has been tremendous in L.A. and know Californians will enjoy this new steakhouse experience and menu. The indoor-outdoor dining element is unlike any other and we look forward to having locals and tourists experience this new concept.” Rockwell Group designed Catch Steak LA's with an "industrial-meets-nature aesthetic" to reflect the restaurant concept's New York City Meatpacking roots. There are plenty of California-specific details as well including climbing florals, a greenhouse-style garden room and dramatic indoor tree. Catch LA is just steps away. Under the direction of corporate chef Michael Vignola and culinary director John Beatty, Catch Steak LA executive chef Erik Piedrahita crafted a robust steak program featuring classic cuts, dry-age selections, American and Japanese Wagyu and large-format cuts for a family-style dining experience. As one of the few restaurants to receive an official Kobe license from Japan, table-side beef sommelier service is on offer as well. Catch and Catch Steak have concepts in New York, Aspen, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
