    Been coming to the “calamari cafe” for 30+ years… I have never seen the quality of food here so bad…. The Calamari was horrible, shrimp overcooked, portions very small… was absolutely shocked. Very unfortunate.

    Always love going to this place! Many of my friends have become regulars here - the people are great! And when I come back home (Boston) for the holidays or a parents birthday we try to come here. Whether you’re looking to catch up with friends or family or if you’re looking to grab a great dinner before a Celtics (they have both light and dark espresso martinis) - The Catch is a great choice!

    Excellent food, service, and ambiance. We split a mix of an entree, appetizer and a salad which was an excellent way for us to try their different menu options.

    The generous portion of broiled swordfish was slightly overcooked and definitely overseasoned- tasty but just too much. The linguine side dish had an odd flavored red sauce that additional Parmesan couldn’t conquer. Drinks: for some reason all the liquor had to be infused so getting a vodka martini etc was impossible. On the other hand, my seatmate had the signature black ink aglio oleo and “licked the plate clean”.
