Top Catch at Joe's Waterfront - Boston

Although we ate the brunch at Joe's Waterfront down from the Top Catch, the menu was the same, we were told, and it was excellent. We were there at 9:30, so it was quiet. Ingredients were fresh (the ash was handmade). All four of us enjoyed everything. The view of Boston Harbor was wonderful, and the service attentive. Very nice experience!

When we arrived, the restaurant was empty almost at 5:30 on Friday night. We were thrilled as we sat at the corner table with a view of the water, which was great. From there everything went downhill. The table was placed on a dirty table. We had to call the waiter to clear the table. We ordered our meal (2 adults 2 children). It's nice to have a children's menu. It took forever to deliver meals. The adult meals were then finally delivered to the children (all should be delivered simultaneously). Our son, when he ordered his chicken tongs, had applied for barbecue sauce. The waiter, when he finally handed out the chicken tongs, said he had to go down to get the barbecue sauce that took another long time. Considering how slow the service was and he hadn't forgotten, one would think he would pick up the grill sauce earlier and delivered all meals together. The food itself was cravings with little taste except strong on the salt side. I would not suggest going to this restaurant unless you like the location and that they have a reasonable price-performance menu. If you expect decent food and service, go somewhere else. There are two restaurants in the same company. The restaurant on the ground floor was much more crowded and could be better although it seemed more of a publication site with a decent bar crowd. A last point the picture on OpenTable shows white tablecloths. The tables had no table cloths, they were basic low-end restaurant tables. The website portrays a level of restaurant it is not

Pictures show white table cloths that did not exist. Only 2 employees work and could not maintain, need more for a Saturday night. Need to see some improvements before recommend

I actually wasn’t able to rate the food because after 15-20 mins of sitting at the table, our waiter still didn’t show up. Ended up walking out.

Upstairs was quiet, thank goodness as downstairs was a mad house. Bread was to die for, so good and it saved the meal. overall slow service. food was okay, stew was not good, luke warm and 4 pieces of meat. we waited so long for drink 1 we didnt bother ordering more.
