This was their first day under new ownership. The food was absolutely delicious. The quality was definitely above average, comparable to very high end restaurants! The service was very attentive, polite, yet humorous. Check it out. You will be happy.

Read about this place online. We were going through so stopped. A fantastic little restaurant. Great food. Was able to try different seafood with the catch22 platter. Tried the local draft beer. Overall a great visit and great food. Service was incredibly fast.

Loved the ambiance here, and the blue lights to add that nautical touch. The drinks and food were fantastic. My wife had the seafood casserole and she was in heaven. I had the chowder (the flavor is incredible) and the lobster au gratin so good!!

the chicken stir fry is VERY mediocre. the chicken is bland and kind of dry, the rice tastes cheap and salty, and they’re were way too many carrots. we were also served tap water. the garlic bread was good though.

I decided to check out this restaurant for its seafood, given all the good things I had heard about it. I'm pleased to report that the meal was very satisfying. The seafood was fresh and flavorful, and the portion sizes were impressive compared to other places. The service was excellent and the atmosphere pleasant, so I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone wanting to experience it.

Had a great dinning experience here! The interior was on the dim side with blue circular lamps on the walls. Almost like a dinning room inside a ship! Went to the restaurant around 5pm on Wednesday 1/24/24, and there were a couple tables already occupied. As it got later, around 6pm, more parties of people filled up the space. Staffs were friendly and attentive. I was indecisive and asked lots of questions and asked for suggestions, and the waitress was patient and helpful. Really appreciate that! Menu got lots of appealing dishes. Decided to try Fisherman’s platter: half lobster, haddock fish fillet, shrimps, scallops, crab cakes, fresh cooked vegetables (broccoli, carrots, and yellow strips guessing was potatoes? Or yellow carrots?), and mixed rice. I enjoyed Fisherman’s platter as it got a nice seafood variety as well as carb and vegetables. Very balanced meal! Not strongly season nor was it oily, which is how I usually prefer my meals. There were black pepper and salt on the table, so if needed to, could use that to season it more. The plate also came with a small cup of melted butter. Besides the seafood, the mixed rice and vegetables were perfectly cooked and were delicious as well! Waitress provided me a nice hot wet towel to wipe my hands after eating the lobster, which was considerate! I got crème brûlée for dessert and requested it to be served hot. It was very cozy, hot and sweet! Definitely a pricier meal, but considering how much seafood I ate, I would said it was a good deal (especially comparing to SF in California)! Paid with Apple Pay. Would definitely come back again and try some other dishes on the menu!

Phenomenal. I also highly suggest you make a reservation here. They were sending people away because they were packed for the night as of 7pm on a Tuesday. Service is friendly, food is amazing. Even on a full night, the food was flying out the kitchen. The food is seasoned perfectly. Calamari and fries are nice and crispy, lobster chowder is creamy with meaty chunks of lobster, lobster roll tastes fresh. Can't think of a bad thing to say about the place. Plenty of street parking is available.

Love wont go back. This was a great seafood restaurant. Why let feoreithe seafood linguine which is no longer available on the menu. Ordered scallop Alfredo, very dry had to ask for extra saice. Saw chef reheating meal with a blow torch very disappointed in the new menu.

My experience at this seafood restaurant was somewhat mixed. The food itself was flavorful, with the mussels standing out as a highlight, but there were several areas that could use improvement. Firstly, the presentation of the dishes could be enhanced; the plates were oversized for the portions served, which made the meals appear sparse and didn t do the dishes justice. I ordered the chicken, and while it had good flavor, it was unfortunately overcooked, which impacted the overall enjoyment of the meal. Additionally, I was disappointed to find that there was no complementary bread offered, which would have been perfect for dipping in the mussel sauce and rounding out the dining experience. As this was my first visit to Moncton, I selected this restaurant based on positive reviews and its convenient location near my hotel. While I did enjoy aspects of the meal, the inconsistencies ultimately left me with a mediocre impression. Overall, I d rate the experience a 3/5.

We were a group of ten to celebrate my birthday, so they had us in a small room in the back. We were very happy to be seated in a more private place, but as soon as we sat down, we noticed a very unpleasant, musty smell. It seems there was water damage and the carpet still is quite smelly. We were placed in the main dining area promptly when we mentionned to the staff that the backroom wasnt pleasant.The food was great (seafood crepe, linguine, casserole and haddock filet) except the chicken stir fry. The chicken was horrible...like it had been cooked, refrigerated, heated again a few times over. When I had a taste of it, I could tell there was definitely something off. The person didnt want to make a fuss and didnt say anyting, but I definitely wouldve return the dish. Even if most had a great meal and appreciated the restaurant, none of us really want to go back.

I don t understand the good reviews, Food was not good. The lobster was over cooked and cost $70 for steamed lobster with just butter and fries on the side. The crab cakes were like moist saw dust, tasted really bad. The one star is just for the mussels. Service was bad, waitress kept asking us to pick and put down stuff for her. Save some money and go somewhere with good food.

I called in for a reservation and practiced my French while doing so. They were very kind to me about it. Me and my grandma showed up 15 minutes early and they still sat us. We got our food delivered and cooked like immediately, in and out in an hour, without being rushed to do so. Water was filled like 24/7, totally amazing. Pricy? Absolutely. But its good.

My wife and I dined in the restaurant. The food was over cooked, the service was poor. I immediately felt sick after I ate and complained. An older woman came over and spoke to me. She claimed she was the manager. She was confrontational with me and blunt. She offered me a glass of sofa water. I said I didn t want to pay for the meal. She was then rude and offered to deduct the plate from my main course. She also said the cook would come out to talk to me but he never did. Very low quality food and an everything was low end. My wife s meal alone was 121.00. Far too expensive.

August 22, 2024

Overall the food was quite good, however, our waitress was absolutely horrible. She barely checked in on us and wasn t the greatest on conversation/opinions. We decided to give a small tip, but when she saw it she proceeded to say WOW . Which did upset us. Unfortunately, it didn t end there, when we were walking out she said don t come back here which really threw us off. We are from out of town and our first time visiting from BC. We had heard so many locals here are friendly but she was the EXACT opposite. We wanted to thank you to the chef for bringing us side plates and our hostess for being so kind. But Loreanna was the worst waitress I have had.

August 22, 2024

I have several food intolerances and I mentioned them to my waitress when I ordered, but she seemed to be rushing , as if she had no time to pay attention to my special needs, even though it was passed the dinner time rush, that they were 3 waitresses on the floor and that several tables were empty... Aside from the fact that it took a good 15 minutes before I even got a glass of water when I was assigned a table. I asked for my seafood and veggies to be cooked in oil, not butter, because I am dairy intolerant, and lactose is NOT the issue! Casein is. Because of my waitresses rush, I forgot to tell her to omit the rice (also intolerant) before they prepared my dish. My waitress had to return my dish to get the rice removed. The shrimp was well cooked, the scallops were overcooked and the veggies were the frozen kind and the broccoli was still cold and crunchy. By the time I finished my dish, I realized that it seemed as though there had been butter in my plate after all. I didnt have any discomfort right then and there, but as soon as I left the restaurant I felt my digestion get more and more uncomfortable. I decided to see if I could walk it off, but it didnt help. Back in my hotel room, I started getting cold chills and hot flashes and terrible heart burn with nausea. Definite food poisoning. The waitress was a friendly mama kind of person, but seemed overwhelmed with the tasks at hand. I also noticed the floor was sticky by the time I paid my bill, which then informed me that the hygiene and food safety of this place was not to be trusted. You would think that a seafood place in Atlantic Canada would be an trustworthy choice for local, quality and fresh flavours and produce, but here I am, still up at 3am, trying to soothe my food poisoning so I can finally get some much needed rest. Eat there at your own risk. Bleurk!

Delicious well prepared food. I would have given 4.5 stars if I could. I had the Lobster Thermidor which was spectacular! Just the right amount of cheese and creamy mushroom lobster sauce. After cracking open the generous sized lobster claws I enjoyed dipping them into the thermidor sauce. The vegetables that accompanied my meal were a perfectly cooked buttery mix of carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and onion. The baked potato was delicious. The server promptly brought me sour cream when asked. There was no butter served with the baked potato, but the sour cream sufficed. My husband had the Seafood Jambalaya which consisted of a generous portion of shrimp cooked to perfection. His meal was delicious though somewhat oily. Despite the copious amount of oil he enjoyed his dinner immensely. For dessert, I had the Crème Brûlée. It arrived perfectly presented and the top cracked nicely when tapped with a spoon. Though perfectly cooked and hot on the outside, the center was cold. My husband had a tasty double serving of their delicious sorbet. As no one came by to check on our desserts, I went ahead and ate the cold area of the crème brûlée and it was still very tasty. I ordered a coffee that never arrived. As the server became busy with a large table in front we chose not to try to flag someone down for coffee. We waited patiently for the bill after finishing our desserts. For drinks with our meal I had a superbly spiced Bloody Caesar and my husband had a refreshing Iced Tea. We weren t asked if we wanted more drinks and ran out of water mid meal. Our server was busy and we weren t able to get more water until our dessert order. Other staff walked back and forth without offering to refill our water glasses or asking if we d like more drinks. Overall, this restaurant is a tremendously enjoyable experience and I highly recommend it. There were a few minor things that bothered me. When I arrived promptly for our reservation, it was quite busy. The hostess looked at me without smiling then when back to what she was doing. I stood in the doorway largely ignored for ten minutes. A smile and nod acknowledging my presence would have been welcoming while the hostess continued with her phone conversation. A friendly server sat me at 8:10. It took a while for our server to approach us. She was friendly when she came to our table and we liked her very much. Things that bothered me were staff walking back and forth empty handed past our table while we sat there with empty plates for fifteen minutes. No one took the initiative to remove our dirty dishes for our server. We were served dessert with dirty side plates and utensils on the table as well as empty drink glasses. I realize it s de rigeur these days to leave empty drink glasses on the table so people can see how much they ve drank in some establishments but that combined with the plates and utensils while eating our dessert was off putting. The servers seemed to work in a hands off each other s tables way rather than cooperatively clearing and checking on one another s tables. Including ourselves, I could see other people waiting unnecessarily too. All in all, it was an extremely busy Sunday evening which is a testament to the popularity and excellence of Catch 22. Overall an enjoyable dinner experience with a couple of minor hiccups. The food was excellent, the server was very friendly and we look forward to going back.

Good seafood restaurant. It took several minutes before he came to the table. I was getting up and leaving when a lady finally showed up at our table. The person who welcomed us seemed hesitant as if they had a full house but the restaurant never filled up during dinner. I had fried squid. The breading was tasty but lacked cooking. I like the crispy breading. The cooking of the squid on the other hand was perfect. The sauce is commercial. Too bad, they should develop their own sauce. The seafood chowder dish was good but lacked the white wine in the sauce. Creamy white sauce. Missing a basket of bread from the table. The plate of the person who accompanied me was quite full. 1/2 lobster, fish, scallops and shrimp with rice nest The crème brûlée was delicious but lacked firmness. It looked like a custard mixed with custard. The prices are reasonable. Despite everything I will surely come back

What a disappointment!!! We came here 2 years ago and our experience was such that we had tears in our eyes. We were so looking forward to coming back. We had the fried squid as a starter. These were tender but the breading which should have been crispy was soft, because it was not fried enough. Served with store-bought sauce without lemon wedge. Also, the portion was tiny. The garlic snails were okay and should have been served with bread in order to mop up the remaining butter at the bottom of the holes. We had to order garlic bread to finish the garlic butter! As for the Catch 22 Fishermans platter: Half lobster overcooked. 2 Crab cakes, 4cm in diameter, overcooked and not very tasty. Salad a little wilted. 2 small shrimps which, on the other hand, were good. 2 correct scallops. Small portion of rice ok. The only positive side of this dinner was the very friendly service. After this disappointing experience, we will never go back.

I recently visited Catch22 Moncton Seafood Restaurant with high expectations, given its 4.4-star Google rating. However, my experience was far from satisfactory. Upon arrival, we anticipated great food and service but were quickly disappointed. We asked for a table for two and, although the place was busy, it wasnt overwhelming. After a 10-minute wait, we were seated in a booth and given menus. Our waiter approached us 10 minutes later to offer water. I asked if the salmon on the menu was baked, to which the waiter responded with an obnoxious and shocked look, taking two minutes to answer, It s broiled, with a supercilious attitude. I was confused, wondering if my simple question had somehow offended her. When she asked if we wanted beverages, we declined. We then waited another 15 minutes for her return, only to notice that the table behind us, which arrived 10 minutes after us, was already enjoying their starters. At that moment, it became clear that the service at Catch22 was severely lacking. Frustrated, I immediately stood up and walked out. I still can t understand why asking if the salmon was baked was met with such disdain. Just going through the reviews older than 6 months accurately paints a better picture of this place. It seems the recent high ratings are misleading. This review reflects my personal experience at Catch22 Moncton Seafood Restaurant. Its disheartening to see how unreliable these star ratings can be. I m relieved I didn t waste more of my time and money.

I had the seafood casserole, and my husband had the seafood linguine, and both were utter perfection. The serving size was enough to feed our younger kids and ourselves and be full. We have a 1 year old, and they were very prompt about getting a highchair for her and giving her lots of attention, which she loved. I could not say enough good things about this restaurant! Also, if you are looking for a refreshing drink, I highly recommend the Tom Collins!

Our waitress Jess, dynamic, friendly and above all good advice. As a starter, maple scallops and bacon... OMG, it tastes like heaven. As a main course, the captains plate. Everything was there: lobster, scallops, shrimp, white fish fillet and crab cake. It was divinely good. For dessert, perfectly crunchy crème brûlée, a sin without regrets. The bill may seem a little steep but the freshness of the products is worth every $. As long as youre eating lobster and seafood, theres no doubt, this is the best restaurant to choose.

Visiting town for the week and promised myself that I would try out some seafood restaurants in the area. Heard great things about Catch 22 and gave it a try with some colleagues. We were told that the Fisherman s Platter was a featured and well-loved item, so decided to go ahead with that. Happy to say that the meal was very enjoyable. Food was fresh and tasted great. Sadly I was too stuffed afterwards to try out any of the desserts. Service and atmosphere was great as well so I would definitely recommend this to anyone hoping to give it a try.

I had reservations for Friday June 2 and I had to reschedule to Thursday June 1st I missed both dates, due to family rescheduling on me. I am from Toronto and this will be my very first time not going when I m in Moncton. You have no idea how upset I am. I always ask for Jessica. She is my favourite server in this entire world I have one more day here I m going to try my absolute best to get there. Even if I have to go alone. I ll be in sackville. But I don t give up easily when it comes to Catch 22 10/10 Brenda Geller LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE

Amazing food here and our server made excellent recommendations not just for food but for beers too. The best seafood Alfredo that I ve ever had and everyone who got the Catch 22 Platter raved about how tasty everything was, specifically the large scallops. We also had the seafood gratin, the lobster cocktail, and the lobster chowder. All 10/10. If we ever come back to Moncton, we will return! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available

I went here with my son and husband. The staff was fantastic. We got seated right away. I had the lobster dinner, my husband had the seafood platter and my son had chicken strips and fries. They had a good selection to choose from. They also had a kids menue. My lobster came my choice of a baked potato and veggies. The lobster was delicious. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and they had butter and seasonings on them. Absolutely delicious. My husband and son also enjoyed their meals. The wait staff was attentive and great with my son who is 6. Great food and staff. Would recommend.

This restaurant was a highlight on our recent Canadian east coast trip. We came here for dinner ready to devour some serious seafood and were not disappointed. Plenty of kudos are in order, starting with: 1. Excellent Customer Service and Speed of Service During our travels, speed of service to receive our ordered food was hit and miss. Catch 22 was definitely a hit. We were in a time crunch to get to another event and I gotta say, we were in and out of the restaurant within almost 1 hour of time. The place was packed and they still found a way to get us our food quickly without any negative impacts to food quality. Our waitress was patient, attentive and very professional. 2. Tasty Food They offered seafood dishes that we haven t seen anywhere else. Great selection. We ordered the Cajun Seafood Stir Fry, Seafood Alfredo Linguini and the Catch 22 Fisherman s Platter. The Cajun Seafood Stir Fry was delicious and had a great spicy kick to it with plenty of seafood on rice. I didn t taste the Seafood linguini but my son finished the plate clean in 10 minutes so that tells you something. I had the Catch 22 Fisherman s Platter which is a big smorgasbord of seafood and it was plentiful and delicious. Portion sizes were decent. 3. Pricing Very reasonable for the portion size and quality of the food. I highly recommend Catch 22 for a nice dinner if you re in around Moncton. Great service, tasty food and affordable prices. Happy travels!

We ate here last night (August 8, 2023) and it was amazing. Everything was exactly as advertised and the food tasted amazing. I had the Catch22 Seafood Platter (along with 6 others in my group). Everyone loved it! I also had the seafood chowder - also amazing. Lots of seafood in there so it was worth it. I read the negative reviews before coming and everything that people complained about did not happen to my group. Highly recommend this place. Our server Jackie was outstanding too. She was nice and friendly, which was a great representation of the Canadian east coast hospitality. Kid-friendliness: Our group had 5 kids (ages 9 to 13). They all loved the food and ate it all, which should tell you how good it was. Kids are not the easiest to please, especially when it comes to seafood. They all loved it and finished everything.

Reservations for our group of 7 were made ahead of time and I strongly suggest you do the same. People were being turned away on a Tuesday night. As busy as they were, our food/beverages came promptly and efficiently. The beer was cold and my strawberry margarita hit the spot. Most of us opted for an array of appetizers rather than a meal. I tried my first crab cakes here... not my cup of tea but those who tasted them, loved them. I think I expected more of a fishy texture rather than mashed potatoes. Having said that, they are almost a meal in themselves. I had 4 with a side of tartar sauce. My husband and I also ordered Seafood Gratin, Caesar Salad, Mariner Mussel Steamer, Fisherman Platter, and Seafood Chowder. We shared most dishes and everything was piping hot, crispy where it should be, flavourful... I could go on, but you have to come and see for yourself. Lori-Ann had her hands full with us and she kept right on top of things. She contributed to a delightful evening with the family. The meal was pricey, but it was our first meal on holiday and we tried a little bit of everything! No regrets; well be back to try what we missed the first time. Parking: Not impossible to park. Dont be afraid to walk for 10 minutes and youll be fine.

Decided to try this place based on the good reviews. But I must disagree with all the great reviews. The food is mediocre at best. The seafood chowder was overly salty and greasy. The haddock fillet dinner was overly dry. The lobster chowder and the seafood crepe was ok. Definitely nothing to write home about ... there are better options in Moncton for seafood ;-o

December 22, 2023

After eating here, I am truly confused by the good reviews. The servers were friendly and attentive, but the food was brutal. We are doing a seafood restaurant tour and saw the excellent reviews about Catch 22. We decided to try it as we are trying to find the best places in the Maritimes. The food came out really quickly. The lobster gratin was very watery and lacked flavour. The Cajun seafood stir-fry didn t taste fresh; the scallops were rubbery. The seafood Alfredo tasted like something you would get at East Side Mario s: salty and store-bought cream sauce. I don t particularly appreciate writing bad reviews about independent restaurants, but I want to warn others driving 10-plus hours in hopes of a worthwhile experience.

We shared the fresh oysters and the Catch 22 fishermans platter (1|2 lobster, shrimp, scallops, haddock & crab cakes). Everything was good, the chef seasonnings were on point, and we were especially impressed by the scallops. The lady serving us was so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great dinner! (especially after 7 days of camping...)

December 22, 2023

The Crab cakes tasted like cheap fish and they were under seasoned. I couldn t eat after 1 bite! Lobster roll was ok. decent amount of meat. The fries were great The seafood chowder had only 2 scallops, 2 shrimp, 1 small piece of lobster and mostly potatoes. Overall extremely underwhelming

We were excited to visit Catch 22. But left disappointed. The food is average like other reviews mentioned (agreed). The lobster chowder was a bit salty and tasted like from the can (I might be wrong but that s what it felt like). Bouillabaisse was blend. The lobster roll was ok. But the bun was cold. Therefore, my husband didn t really enjoyed it. Gratin was ok but too greasy for me personally. From the positive side: the service was good, the food came out quickly and the dessert was delicious. Unfortunately, I doubt we will be returning there. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is available. Which is always a plus.

The lobster was good but kind of small. The fish & chips was ok but was made of haddock (not cod), the tartar sauce tasted like a commercial one, the breading was thin and not fluffy. So... Overall, the food was ok but not outstanding (as expected). And it was a bit pricey.

At first I was really looking forward to this place. The reviews was solid and it was our FIRST stop continuing and trying with other seafood restaurants. For me it was disappointing - as we ordered the Catch22 Fisherman platter which half lobster, scallop, haddock and crab cake. The crab cake was the worst I ve ever had. Didn t seem to have any crab cake in it or was just over cooked. The shrimp was not fresh as it didn t have the crispness and I ve eaten many shrimps before. The haddock was okay but compared to other haddocks at PEI restaurants doesn t match up. Lobster was fine but with all the sauce you couldn t really enjoy the freshness. Honestly - if it s your first seafood platter it s okay but compared to other seafood lobster dinners it s average at best.

We arrived at 9:00 p.m. to get a table, the hostess told us that it was full even though there were free tables and the restaurant closed at 10:00 p.m.

Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect. The great service started when I first walked in the door where I was greeted with a smile and led straight to a table. Enjoyed a pint of beer that I can t get at home. I can t remember the name of it, but it was an ale. Then ordered the Fisherman s Platter. It was so good. Then the waitress talked me into a crème brûlée and I don t very often eat dessert, but this one was worth it! Highly recommend.
