Is The Daily Catch worth it in a day?

DependsIn a day

The Daily Catch is a real time commitment — fit it in only if it's a priority.

Allow 1–1.5 hours plus a possible wait.

A few tables, an open kitchen inches from your seat, and squid-ink pasta delivered in the frying pan it was cooked in. Cramped, cash-leaning, and full of character.
