I've been here several times now and The Daily Catch never disappoints. Love the food, great…read moreservice, and amazing vibes! I always will recommend their special that's sharable for two while my partner lives the black squid ink pasta. Either is a great choice though and we honestly get both despite it being way too much food every time. Calamari is solid too and everything tastes great. We always come right at open to avoid waiting given the small restaurant space, but it's always worth it. Just be warned they're also cash only as well!

The kitchen is open and right there with a small number of tables. We walked in on a Tues for lunch, and they only had 1 table open out of maybe 15 two-seaters? You might have to sit with some strangers. :) Don't know if they take reservations, but a good idea if they do.

I have a nut allergy and typically have anxiety when it comes to ordering at places I haven't eaten before. I told the serve of my allergy and she told me what I ordered should be safe, followed by the manager who was amazing and came to our table (unprompted by us) when he heard I had an nut allergy (from the waitress) and told me they would make sure it didn't come into contact with nuts. And 1/2 way through eating he came by just to check on us! The ambiance was amazing as well, huge windows and right on the water. I have never felt more safe with a food allergy, with such good food and an amazing atmosphere!

I was recommended to go to Pauli's for lobster rolls. I had previously tried a lobster roll out in…read moreWestborough, and I was genuinely disappointed. This place redeemed whatever it was I had in Framingham. The place is pretty small. I just ordered at the counter, and the person taking my order was super friendly. Wish I got their name for a shout-out. There's not a lot of seating in the establishment; it feels like the place is meant for a very quick meal. FOOD: I got a hot buttered lobster roll and it came with a side of chips. I actually ran into the owner while I was there, and he had explained that their lobster rolls are unique in the sense that they actually toss their lobster meat in a pan with butter. You can really taste it. Buttery lobster heaven. Would definitely come again if I'm back in Boston. I could probably eat ten of those hot buttered lobster rolls in one sitting and have no regrets.

So it's a little off the beaten path sort of tricky to get to and find, but well worth it! Lobster…read morewas good I would say 3 outta 5 but the claim chowder.. that's where it's at !

Located in Boston Public Market. A friend recommended the clam chowder here. It did not disappoint…read more Creamy but not too creamy and lots of clams. So good! We went on a Tuesday and took advantage of the Taco Tuesday deal - 2 fish tacos for $10! The fish was fried - not too greasy or heavy though - wrapped in two corn tortillas each with lettuce and sauce. Limes on the side. The order took a few minutes to be made, but it was worth it. Open seating throughout the market where there are lots of other food and other shops.

It was delicious with the added lemon wedges squeezed on, and my first time having fried soft shell! Not served with a side but I didn't need one. Counter service in a busy market so nothing special but the food was fresh. Kind of expensive but the quality is obvious. Located in the public market with plenty of seating and other food stands if you want to mix and match your meal. Industrial/wood vibe.

I've been going here for years and it is consistently delicious. My favorites are the Tokyo roll, lady in red, spicy girl, pats roll, spicy tuna, volcano..ok pretty much everything is good. I order online and my food is always ready quickly and picking it up is a breeze. Since it's take out only it's never too crowded inside, so it's cool to see them prepare the rolls. Highly recommend, this place is the best. Beats any fancy sushi place

I thought the rolls were pretty standard and nothing spectacular but for the pricing and easy service and pickup, would go again!

We walked into…read morethe place, never being there before, asked questions about the menu, and the staff was not aware or sure of anything. They had a waiter come over, and we asked for what we wanted, and the waiter made it seem like we could not afford it. (It was about steamed lobsters). The hostess said th were no availability at the tables we could sit at the bar. We went to sit at the bar, and this party of 5 came over, and they tried everything to move us from the bar, by there actions and there level of disrespect, and it was excepted. I got up from the bar, and I went to the manager, who said his name was Jack. He seemed like he cared, but for us. I felt we was judged from the door. We were a minority couple, maybe that was not what they wanted to see I'm not sure. The money was not the issue, it was the principal. It was not about a 25 dollar discount, on a over 200 bill. There was VIP, that cane in, and he was on top of my back. While we finally got a table. It was just to much. It was very unexceptable. We will never go back.

INTRO: Came here with a full group of colleagues from out of…read morestate, one of those company dinners where everything is covered and you just get to enjoy the experience. Safe to say, I was more than happy to be included in this one. SERVICE: For a busy Thursday night with a party of around 15, the staff handled things impressively well. Food came out in a timely manner, no confusion, no chaos. They were friendly, attentive, and actually knew the menu, offering solid recommendations without overcomplicating it. Managing a group that size is not easy, and they made it look smooth. AMBIANCE: This place leans more Boston bar energy than traditional fine dining, and that is part of the charm. It was packed, a little tight at times, but it felt alive. You are not coming here for quiet elegance, you are coming for the buzz, the movement, and that shared experience of a packed room enjoying great food together. FOOD: We went all in and ordered family-style, almost tapas style, sharing everything across the table. Squid ink pasta, black pasta, fried calamari, grilled octopus, dish after dish hitting the table. Everything was delicious, but what really stood out was the sauce. The broths, the richness, the depth of flavor, that is what stayed with me. I found myself talking about it mid-meal, and I was not the only one. At one point, people were practically trying to drink the sauce straight from the plate. That is when you know it is hitting on another level. You know you're doing a good job when you put much thought down to how you make your sauces and broths. I was impressed from both a top down and bottom up level of culinary experience. IMPRESSIONS: I need to come back here to on more sauces and broths.

Phenomenal & will be back to try again!…read more Parking is rough, if you don't catch something in front of the restaurant you might be searching for a while. Staff & service was friendly! Nothing out of the norm, average, quick, and attentive service. The food was phenomenal! I had the Beef tips & Chicken tips, and for dessert I had the "it's brownie time" ice cream & brownies combo, which I recommend highly. I love that the focus is around serving food in Tip as their highlight. I will say a lot of their food is cooked with alcohol, so slow down and read if that's something you're trying to avoid. Typically when restaurants charge higher in price the food is average in taste, but everything else we ate was a home run. I will be back to try more! For the scenery of the restaurant it was a mix of a Bar and fine dining. I like that, if you're there to watch sports and hangout you can easily do that. If you're there for a nice and simple date they've separated a space to do just that as well. It's been a while since I've been enthusiastic about a restaurant and I have to say the restaurant was a great experience, please try!

The atmosphere here manages to be both sophisticated and relaxed, Nice view while dining. Great…read moreservice too! I ordered the steak frites cooked to a perfect medium with a deep, salty crust. It was tender enough to melt but had that essential beefy bite. The sauce was silky and sharp, tying the whole plate together without overpowering the meat. Overall a cool nice place to come enjoy dinner or sit at the bar to have a drink.
