The Daily Catch Waterfront

Lobster dish was incredible, especially the linguine. That really sold it, the lobster was amazing and fresh and tasty, but something about the linguine that was hiding under was just so perfect! It was cooked beautifully, perfect al dente texture, and bursting with the right amounts of flavour. The fish dish was delicious, but I didn’t find anything too special about it. The greens were a bit hard to chew, so I had to eat each piece whole, a little inconvenient. But loved the garlicky taste. It was also quite a small piece for $30+, so that wasn’t the nicest thing to see. The fries are surprisingly really good, perfectly cut, crispy, not burnt, seasoned nice (a little less on the salt but that’s good since you can always add more). I wish I had tried the black pasta, that’s looks super cool. Overall food was amazing. However, the service wasn’t the most friendly. They did their job no problem, but the waiter seemed very aggressive and wasn’t the most friendly. Anytime I asked questions about a dish, he didn’t really answer with patience or with a smile. It was a bit unwelcoming to be honest, and he only softened up after we gave a generous tip (which, he should’ve been more friendly since the beginning, not because we gave him a tip). Getting the bill also took quite a bit of reminding and waiting. Service was def 3/5, but the food makes up for it. My seating area wasn’t the nicest since it was a small table for two near the kitchen, no nice window views, would’ve preferred better seating.

I thought the overall experience was good, and this place is definitely worth a try, depending on the specifics one may be looking for. My friend and I did not try the lobster fra diavolo, which a lot of people did, but we did try the aglio olio black pasta just like a lot of others. The pasta was very well-seasoned, but the calamari that I had requested to be added was not seasoned at all, so I thought the pasta itself was sufficient from a taste standpoint. The pasta came in a small wok, which was pretty cool. The mussel Siciliano was pretty good, and there were a lot of mussels in there. It was not spectacular, but worth a try for sure. I enjoyed the grilled octopus, and the beans along with it were even better as they were seasoned very well. For the monkfish marsala, the fish itself was a bit dry, and relied on the sauce for flavor, but the sauce tasted really good! The waiter even brought us more bread for us to dip in the remaining sauce! We got the tiramisu for dessert, and I enjoyed it very much! Definitely recommending that. Knowing that this place is located in North End, you know you can count on lots of good dessert places around, too, so don't limit your options!

Tried Black Pasta Aglio Olio. Their pasta is superb. I have been trying house made pasta all around and they have one of the best I have ever tasted. Perfect al dente cooked, the linguine is still chewy and firm to bite, and coated with a great amount of chopped calamari and olive oil.
Plus, both Littleneck Siciliano and Caesar salad have a very decent portion.
Waiting time is acceptable, not too long.

I had high expectations for this restaurant, but it ended up disappointing me. We ordered fried calamari, lobster pasta, and black spaghetti. The calamari was bland and really greasy. I’m not sure if they pre fried the calamari and re fried them again. The oil tasted really strong. Lobster pasta was bland as well. The sea food on the top was really fresh. For the black spaghetti, it’s just okay. I was not surprised at all. Their Parmesan was not great. It seems like it’s from the bottle from the supermarket. This restaurant is expensive but they don’t have the quality to match. Disappointed!!!
