I also got crab cakes to go ( they were nice and frozen for flight) if you're anywhere near this location it's a must do I did ask if they had frozen lobster to go she said not this week so I assume that just comes and goes. very friendly staff and nice picnic tables to eat on outside if you want to stay there. there is no indoor seating per se there's some tables in a tent structure and they do have a porta potty on site I was able to walk over there so it's just a nice place to sit and eat and enjoy.

The lobsters and mussels were steamed to perfection, and I enjoyed them very much. The lady at the cash register was very sweet and patient, and did let us know it would take a while as the seafood were steamed fresh. It came in about 10-15 mins, so it wasn't that bad. I could imagine the wait being longer if it was crowded. The only thing I wished was a little better was the seating/dining areas. The outdoor was nice with the picnic benches but it was way too hot to be outside. The indoor section looked like a middle school cafeteria shack...which was whatever. Overall, food and service were great, ambiance could be a little better! Appreciate the sink to wash your hands after eating. Oh also, a pair of shell crakcers would be nice...had to use my hands to crack the pre-cracked shells but they were a little challenging.

I have friends in Boston who have insisted that I get over to The Daily Catch in the North End…read more Oh. My. Word! This is one of those places that you remember forever. There are maybe five tables in the entire place, and you feel like you're sitting in the kitchen with the chef. A pro tip I've discovered is to arrive early for dinner--maybe around 4pm--to beat the long line that will grow outside. I cannot say enough about the freshness and quality of the food. Our group had a few small appetizers which were excellent, but the real treat was their daily swordfish special. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, other than "wow." So much flavor packed in this dish. Wine is served in regular plastic drink cups alongside fresh bread. You really do feel like you're sitting right in the middle of a great Italian kitchen. It should be noted that this is a cash-only establishment; so plan ahead. This spot is a Must Visit if you find yourself in Boston's North End.

This location was easy to find parking along Harvard street at a meter. We arrived at their 4pm dinner open time and they said give them 10 minutes so we ended up at the new blank street location right next door. Once in and seated, our waitress was great! Marathon Monday vibes all around town. We took a seat in the window nook. My lady loves squid ink pasta and it's different than Japanese style (doesn't stain your teeth haha). We ordered + fried calamari + mussels siciliano + aglio olio We started with the complimentary bread, with olive oil, crushed red peppers and Parmesan! The calamari was next (my must order anywhere i go to taste). Light batter fried (didn't just fall apart thankfully) nice light and crispy. The squid was fresh, not cooked rubbery and tasted great with the marinara sauce (nice hint of spice). Now i wish the portion was a tad bigger but it was yummy. The mussels is the ladies go to, for an appetizer. It came out HOT, with a lemon white wine garlic sauce. Super tasty, mussels definite shine through without the sauce/broth overpowering the natural flavor of the mussel. She finished that up quick and i had a taste myself and agree with her assessment haha. And finally the Aglio Olio, squid ink pasta with minced squid and garlic. This was a perfectly balanced dish, came out HOT be careful of the pan. The pasta and squid just melted together so well. The caramelized butter/garlic with bits of minced squid just had you scraping the pan at the end to make sure you inhale them. Great meal for two. Very satisfied. (Give us another couple ounces of fried calamari and it'd be perfect!)

Ordered those and one of their seafood boils (I think it's called the dirty). I enjoyed the softshell crabs. Seasoning gave it a fried chicken type of flavor but enjoyable. As for the seafood boil it was okay. It was mainly shrimp corn and potato. Wasn't busy when we arrived and seated promptly. Service was great at first. But then when I asked for utensils, the server looked at me confused and after 2-3 tries, he finally brought me a fork. Overall the experience was okay. Might have to try a different boil if we come back.

I added pototoes and Corn. The Wings were great. It's a messy, hands-on experience (they give you bibs and gloves), but that's part of the fun. The portions were solid and the spice level had a nice kick without overpowering the flavor. I went very mild. If you like seafood boils with bold seasoning and a casual, fun atmosphere, Holy Crab is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back. Be ready to look for parking. Service was great.

If there's one thing I'm determined to do, it's support Black-owned businesses, especially here in…read moreBoston. I loved The Pearl when the Dorchester location was open, so I was excited to finally try this location. I made a reservation, got ready, and drove about 30 minutes to spend my Friday evening there--only to arrive and find a sign on the door saying they were closed. My reservation was never canceled, and I didn't receive an email, text, or phone call letting me know they would be closed for the night. That level of communication is extremely unprofessional and inconsiderate, especially for customers who took the time to make reservations and travel. I genuinely wanted to support this business, but this experience was incredibly disappointing. Unfortunately, after tonight, I'm all set on trying to support this establishment.

The sides are pretty great too. Don't get the layonese potatoes, they're crazy greasy. The loaded baked potatoes are not loaded they're lightly topped. Stick to the Mac & cheese, whipped potatoes, asparagus, Brussel sprouts, etc. We love them! Drinks are solid and worth the price! Never tried dessert because that selection is pretty basic and we'd rather go to a bakery than have generic deserts.

We have a $500 dinner between 4 people and it was just really bad. For an expensive steak and seafood dinner I really was hoping for good ambience and food. I got a martini and it was nottttt drinkable. It tastes like really bad quality spirits. Idk it was just bad. As a bartender I never noticed finish my drink at dinner before but a couple sips immediately gave me a headache so I didn't finish. My sister and I got different cut steak and it was just not good. My daughter got oysters and the oysters were soooo dried out like it's been open, dead, and in the fridge for so long that it was just dried up and no meat. It was pretty disappointing. I don't know if we just ordered the wrong food or had bad luck. But it didn't help that the server wasn't aware of our experience and kept forgetting about us. I was really disappointed as for this price I could have went to ocean prime or del frisco for an over the top experience but I truly wanted to support local. I won't be coming back :(

I still think about it and wish I could ship it hahaha. service was also stellar. the fish and chips was just a tad undercooked (not their fault, it was a huge piece of fish!) and our waitress was so accommodating to replace the whole plate quickly and apologize for the inconvenience. she also gave us some great recommendations for local bars to check out after our meal. every time I'm back in Boston I'm definitely coming back to Saltie Girl!

Instead, we were seated in the bar area, which had a loud, club-like atmosphere and didn't feel like the right setting for a special occasion. The service also fell short. It was quite slow, a few of our items were forgotten, and our second glass of wine was served warm. The food itself was good, but considering the price point, I think there are plenty of other restaurants that offer equally good--or better--food with more attentive service and a more upscale dining experience. Overall, it just didn't feel worth the cost, especially for a celebration.
