    Clam chowder
    Norry H.

    I have been to the Hanover St. location several times before but it was my first time here. We came here with Hana (our chihuahua mix baby) and were allowed to eat inside. This was a pleasant surprise. Although Hana barked at the server every time she talked to us, the server and staff were very nice to us. Much more spacious here than the North End location. For the food, my aglio olio squid ink pasta served in a frying pan was bunched up and I had to fluff it up to eat. Also it was lacking flavor. My wife's porcini risotto was kind of watery and not creamy. I did not taste porcini either. The best item was the clam chowder. Next time I will try the North End location instead.

    This is my favorite North End restaurant by far!! The pasta dishes are always a hit and this location has so much more seating than the other one, plus plenty of cute outdoor tables in the summer. Truly every dish here is a standout; you literally can't go wrong with ordering anything on the menu. The calamari is a must order - perfectly crispy and pairs amazingly with the sauce. The squid ink pasta and shrimp scampi are also so delicious. Make sure to add lots of cheese! Staff here is super accommodating and always provides great service.

    Yup, gotta pull up here as well! Great ambiance right on the water and stellar service as always, Boston never disappoints and this is literally caught fresher than fresh. Great family operation & some of the best eats in the city hands down. Stamp it!

    Cheers!

    Probably my favorite meal in Boston during our 4th of July trip. The Daily Catch has a location in North End as well but this one definitely less chaotic and away from the masses. There was a small wait even with a reservation, but we happily had a drink at the lively bar during this time. The service was really great. We loved our waiter who was not only attentive, but had a great sense of humor. I don't know why they have to have pepper grinders that are 4 feet long but that led to a bunch of innuendo jokes with our waiter, if you know what I mean... haha. He was a good sport about it. I would highly recommend any of the seafood pastas here! Can't wait to come back in the future.

    Loved the lobster fra Diavlo and the scallop linguine here. We came here for lunch and luckily didn't have to wait too much. The seafood is fresh and elections. The oysters were amazing too. Absolutely amazing service ! We sat outdoors because it was a nice day out.

    My mom had called in advance to seemingly reserve a table but we missed the 15 minute cutoff. Luckily they still had tables outside on the heated patio so we braved the windy & cold weather because we were all so hungry!! The menu's pretty straightforward but I'm ngl I had a hard time deciding. I ended up choosing the monkfish marsala because I KNOW mushroom/wine/cream combo eats every time. The bread came slightly cold, not even room temperature but it didn't taste bad at all. In fact despite looking like my least favorite kind of bread service I eventually had several pieces. Our food came together so it was a long wait between ordering and getting to chow down. The portions were not intimidating at all! There should have been a lot more pasta in the signature lobster dish, but better a little taste than nothing. The squid ink cacio e pepe was *chefs kiss* but very greasy. The sauteed garlic lost their pungence so were very chewy. My dish was pleasant but had a flavor I wasn't expecting. Overall, seems like a lovely place for both locals and visitors alike but leans touristy. Reminds me of a restaurant we ate at on Pier 39 in SF.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Boston, The Daily Catch has the BEST squid ink pasta and other great options that keep me coming back for more. To start, the service was phenomenal. Our waitress was super friendly and checked in regularly without being overbearing and gave great recommendations. There were two other waiters who were also available and happy to help when needed. The dim lighting makes for great ambiance! I sat out in the patio tonight and was pleasantly surprised by the subtle but effective ceiling heaters that kept my table warm through the low 50s weather. Food: -Squid Ink Aglio Olio: 10/10! Always my go-to and must-have dish here. There are generous amounts of chopped calamari to balance the perfectly chewy noodles. -Fried Calamari: 9/10! More on the soft side than crispy side, but not in an unpleasant way. Sauce comes out HOT, which is a nice touch. We asked our waitress for more sauce midway and she gladly brought out another cup. -Fruitti di Mare: 9/10! Had a good number of clams, mussels, and scallops. Noodles were nice and thin. Dessert: -Tiramisu: 10/10! The shaved chocolate on the top made all the difference. The texture was the perfect blend of gritty chocolate bits and soft, slightly cakey cream. Not too sweet. -Chocolate Mousse: 9/10! Was on the heavier, thicker side but in a pleasant way. Rich chocolate flavor. Fruit could have been sweeter. -Crème Brûlée: 9/10! Not sure how to describe the consistency, but this was one of the breadiest(?) crème brûlées I've ever had, and I enjoyed it. Was a nice change from the typical silky smooth crème brûlées I've had. Fruit could have been sweeter.

    I love Daily Catch! It's a must go when I'm in Boston and a great place to take visitors who want to eat a quintessential Italian seafood pasta. The Waterfront location is great as they take reservations and accept credit cards, making it easy to plan ahead. The star of the show here is the Lobster Fra Diavolo and for 4 people we ordered the 2 person person which ended up being perfect for sharing along with the Aglio Olio Black Pasta and half a dozen oysters. The lobster pasta is super flavorful with large pieces of shrimp, calamari, mussels, clams and of course a large lobster. The seafood is cooked to perfection and the sauce nice and rich with a spicy kick. The housemade squid ink pasta is great too but on the heavier side. Love the chopped squid that they mix in and overall with the combination of the red sauce lobster pasta and olive oil black pasta, it's a great way to try the best that the Daily Catch has to offer.

    The food was bright and fresh. We especially loved the mussel dish and soaked up the sauce with the bread that they give us. The gnocchi was ok, less like pasta and more like soft potatoes. Our servers were attentive and friendly, offering recommendations on what is most popular. We were seated outside with enough space and heaters around since it was cold outside.

    We came here for drinks before getting some mid day food across the street from the waterfront. I had read a lot about it and seen people post about this spot on social. We decided to grab a seat at the bar which was pretty busy and small in terms of the amount of seats the bar had. We kept seeing peoples food coming and everything smelled so good but we were waiting for a table somewhere else. We each enjoyed a drink and had a great time. I would love to come back for dinner on our next trip out.

    Decided to come to The Daily Catch as it was another one of Boston's lobster spots. Also came with a personal recommendation as it was our friend's favorite restaurant when she lived in Boston. Since all I cared about was lobster, my decision was very easy. Ordered a 2 person Lobster Fra Diavolo. This was great! Loaded with seafood and one whole lobster, plus a ton of linguine with a tasty tomato sauce. Absolutely hit the spot. Service was fine here, no complaints. Worth the visit for sure, would come back.

    After having The Daily Catch on my radar for about a year and a half, I finally made it in for a weekend midday visit. I was genuinely excited--especially because I was seated immediately and even got the exact spot I wanted. A strong start, right? The menu offered plenty of tempting choices, and I landed on the shrimp scampi. I paired it with a strawberry-flavored mocktail (can't remember the name, but it was refreshing) and finished the meal with an espresso that was bold enough to practically stand on its own. Definitely required cream and sugar to soften the intensity. I enjoyed the bread service--the DIY mix of oil, paprika, and cheese was a nice touch--even if the bread itself wasn't particularly memorable. Flavor-wise, it didn't bring much to the table, though the concept was fun. The shrimp scampi, though, is where things fell short for me. The flavor was just okay, but what really stood out was how surprisingly dry it was. I expected a silky, garlicky, buttery sauce that clings to the shrimp and pasta, but instead it lacked that moisture and richness that make a scampi feel indulgent. It wasn't drippy, glossy, or saucy enough to deliver that classic scampi experience, and the dish ended up feeling a bit flat overall. I knew going in that the menu was on the pricier side, so the cost didn't shock me--but the taste compared to the price didn't quite meet my expectations. After anticipating this place for so long, I'm glad I finally got to try it... but I also didn't walk out feeling like I'd missed out all this time. I probably wouldn't return, though I know plenty of people love this spot.

    Linguine with Clams & Calamari in white sauce
    Carrie V.

    We had such a great lunch at The Daily Catch Waterfront. The linguine with clams and calamari in white sauce was so good fresh seafood and the pasta had so much flavor. The baked haddock was perfectly cooked, flaky and not heavy at all, and the asparagus was simple but really well done. Both meals were huge portions! Also the Arnold Palmers were perfect. On top of all that, our server was so friendly and made the experience even better. He mentioned that he was fairly new to working there but I would've never known because he seemed like a pro!! The outdoor area is great on a beautiful day.

My wife and I both had the chipotle mango chicken, while the table also tried the short ribs and blackened mahi mahi. All the dishes were very good, but the chipotle mango chicken really stood out. Huge portion and packed with flavor without being overdone. We also shared the spicy tuna roll and guacamole appetizer, both of which were solid starters. Between my tree nut allergy, Alpha-Gal, diabetes, and my wife's gluten allergy and dairy sensitivity, we usually give restaurants a decent stress test. Staff handled questions well, were patient with modifications, and made the process feel easy rather than inconvenient. Service was a little slow at times, though the restaurant was extremely busy, so hard to know if it was the kitchen or our server. Either way, the staff was very kind, personable, and attentive when they were at the table. Atmosphere is energetic and lively, though definitely on the louder side. Great spot for dates, including first dates, and perfectly fine for casual business meals. Probably not ideal if you're trying to have a serious conversation or intimate dinner because of the noise level. Also not somewhere I'd recommend for small kids unless they enjoy competing with the soundtrack and neighboring tables for attention. Overall, a fun Seaport spot with good food, big portions, and a vibrant atmosphere.

Walking into the restaurant, no one was there to greet us and there was no host stand. Finally, a server (who also turned out to be our server) told us to pick where we wanted to sit. We chose a four-top table. When it was time to order, we were dealing with a limited menu. I chose lobster quesadillas, which were listed under "appetizers". My husband chose the fish and chips. The quesadilla was sloppily made. Some pieces had hardly any cheese or lobster in them. Other pieces were overloaded with lobster and cheese. While it was all edible and the lobster was properly cooked, it still was underwhelming. My husband said the fish was well prepared, flaky and crispy at the same time. There were too many French fries, making the plate a bit messy. In a pinch, Capiz did fit the bill as we didn't feel like going far for a meal that day.
