    The Daily Catch - Waterfront is a great restaurant with delicious Italian seafood dishes. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the fresh squid ink pasta puttanesca did not disappoint.

    Delicious food and drinks! Couldn’t recommend more. I could eat a whole plate of their tuna tartare by myself.

    Service was attentive. We decided to sit and eat at the bar. Clam chowder was delicious! Oysters Rockefeller were a treat and we shared a linguine and clam dish- more than enough for us. Will definitely return.

    We started with sharing the clams casino as an appetizer...they arrived at the table piping hot which is a definite plus! My husband has the calamari sampler plate. It consisted of calamari meatball, stuffed calamari, calamari salad, and fried calamari. It also had a piece of fried fish which seemed out of place. He said the salad and fried calamari were the best of the plate. I had broiled haddock that had a light crumb topping and ordered a side of black pasta (because I never had it before) with a white sauce. Both the fish and pasta were good but had a bit too much sauce on them. The service was good and we wouldnt hesitate to return
