Nice view and right on the water. We had a great table outside. The hostess was great and the waiter was nice, but slooow. The food was fine. I got crab & lobster cakes that tasted fine but had a lot of breadcrumbs in them. The grilled asparagus was nice. The place was just fine, but not special except for the view.

Other Daily Catches are "up market". They take reservations. Perhaps linen. But here the food is absolutely amazing. It is normal to stand OUTSIDE for your place. And expect to wait. We have often eaten there, but last time, we waited for two hours! Monk Fish Marsala is our fav. Last time I had shrimp in Alfredo sauce. Both certainly worth having again (and again). Whatever others were having in other tables certainly looks lovely. If you are finicky, take your wine glasses as they serve in plastic glasses. At the end of it, it is a meal you will remember. It is not a dining experience.

Obviously, the owners decided to cash in on the cachet and popularity of the original location (which has no set menu, serves whatever gets caught, and has lines outside where people wait for nearly an hour to eat). This is not like that place at all. The offerings were no different than any other seafood place, except that the pasta was dyed black with squid ink (oooohhhh - big deal). My husband ordered the calamari platter, which has the potential to be really good, except the fried calamari is served plain - no sauce, nothing. Just dry-assed plain fried calamari. He got two calamari meatballs, which tasted like regular old meatballs, and something that was supposed to be stuffed squid, but tasted like stuffing only. My black pasta alfredo with shrimp came with 4 itty bitty shrimp that had been overlooked and dropped on top like an afterthought. The atmosphere is nice (outdoor terrace in the harbor), but not worth the money. Do yourself a favor, and get your seafood elsewhere.

The fresh seafood is cooked in the dining area! Everyone is eating ''in the kitchen''.
Good food, good price, atmosphere is flavorful and people wait in line to get packed into the place! It is not your candle lit romantic place. It's busy and packed! Just look in the windows and you can see for yourself!
