Reviews for The Daily Catch Brookline in Boston, MA
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 amountof chopped calamari and olive oil. Plus, both Littleneck Siciliano and Caesar salad have a very decent portion. Waiting time isacceptable, not too long. Read more
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 themagain. The oil tasted really strong. Lobster pasta was bland as well. The sea food on the top was really fresh. For the blackspaghetti, it’s just okay. I was not surprised at all. Their Parmesan was not great. It seems like it’s from the bottle fromthe supermarket. This restaurant is expensive but they don’t have the quality to match. Disappointed!!! Read more
Not as expected. Has been craving for squid ink pasta for a long time since moved from New York. First time had the black pasta... was in Italy, it was so impressive so has been looking for the same since came back to the US. Friends mentioned to me thisrestaurant has it, so finally got a chance to try it after Covid. The noodle is dry, and it’s too wide and flat. The sauce isgood, but together doesn’t worth $30 unless you consider sitting in front of the windows where you can see the water. I addedscallops for additional $10. So for a $40 pasta, I’d rather either go to Cheesecake Factory or buy it from Eatly. The bread isplain. We also ordered grilled octopus which is my favorite dish anywhere, but this octopus is more like steamed, doesn’t havethe grill burn feel even though the flavor is there. Would not come back again. Btw, no diaper change in the bathroom. Notsuitable to bring kids there. Read more
Great ambiance / location but surprisingly disappointing food. We have been to the original location multiple times and it was... wildly better. We got the ricotta caprese salad which had a nice freshness and flavor though small. The calamari linguine wasshockingly flavorless. The (very) scarce calamari itself was rubbery - not what you’d expect for a 30$ pasta. Would recommendwaiting in line for the original location / hope they can figure out how to bring the magic to this location. Read more
Nice date place by the waterfront! We splurged a bit and got 4 dishes - beet salad, Littleneck Siciliene, calamari and... puttanesca squid ink pasta Great service from our casual/confident server The pasta is always to die for, very nice and chewyand extra tasty served in the pan. This alone makes up for any other imperfections with the food. The Siciliene was very nicetoo with tasty white wine broth. 2-3 of our clams were full of sand though which was unpleasant. Beet salad was very standardand in my opinion not worth the price. Calamari was really great quality (don't agree with some of the reviews). We got largechunks of squid and many pieces of the tentacle crowns too. Read more
I've had way better fried calamari for half the price at lower end restaurants. Wasn't worth trying out the entrees if the... appetizer was so disappointing. Final opinion is Overpriced and poor quality. All I could bare was 2 drinks for 2 which werestandard at best and 1 appetizer for 2 which was not worth it at all. Do not recommend at all. Read more
We had a great experience dinning at the Daily Catch. The staff was amazing really accommodating for a group of 8. The service... was outstanding, the meals where super good. We tried different pastas and appetizers. I totally recommend this place, theoutside seating is nice but be mindful of the weather. Read more
Great restaurant. The food is pretty good. Definitely coming back for black pasta. The oysters weren't great as I thought.
