We visited Catch22 for the first time after a few of our friends recommended it and we read such great reviews online. We started with raw oysters and mussels (pictured), which were all fresh and delicious. For mains we had the Lobster dinner, scallop alfredo (pictured) and a seafood pasta. Everyone cleaned their plates and we agreed that it was some of the best seafood we've ever had. For desserts we tried the crème brulee that came with a sugar cookie (mediocre, but not the star of the dish to begin with). The crème brulee itself was delicious. I ordered a French 75 to start which was light and refreshing. I went to order a second drink but wanted a recommendation on something slightly sweeter. The bartender Justin came over, asked me a few questions and then asked if he could make me something off-menu with some ingredients he had. He brought back a delicious strawberry gin drink that was exactly what I was looking for. Our waitress Flora was excellent. It was her first or second day on the job and she served us effortlessly. She was very personable and a pleasure to chat with. Great food, great drinks. Will certainly be back!

This place was recommended to my husband and I for some good seafood and it did not disappoint! We shared some oysters to start and then we got the Coquilles Saint-Jacques and Seafood Risotto. Everything we had was fantastic; so fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared! Reservations are highly recommended as it was very busy, even on a weeknight.

The food was good but not that good for it too be as expensive as it was- ive definitely tasted better food that they sell in here for better prices and quality. It’s good but not amazing, that’s what I want to end it with. The service was not bad, they were busy at the time so i understand if they couldn’t be as helpful as they would want to be. It was a nice and lively atmosphere, the paper towel of the bathroom was overflowing the trash though but other than that it was good. note: we did a reservation so there was no wait

An amazing experience! Came here with my family after traveling some time and was not disappointed. The food was spectacular (loved the seafood linguine) and the service was next level. Our waiter put our order in quickly for us and made sure everything was great. He even ran out and returned a wallet one of us forgot! Highly recommend this spot

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.

I recently visited Catch 22 in Moncton and was thoroughly impressed. I ordered the lobster chowder, salad, and garlic bread, while my husband enjoyed the lobster seafood pasta. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant—10/10 experience!
