    What a great experience we had dining at Catalu! The food was very flavorful & the cocktails innovative. The star of this dining experience was Carolina, our the service staff member. She was knowledgeable, provided suggestions, many we took her up on, & did it all with a smile & light hearted personality. Definitely will return to try more menu items.

    I was really disappointed in everything about Catalu. I was expecting better service, atmosphere and food. Nothing about the meal was spectacular especially for the cost.

    Catalu is one of my favorite restaurants for tapas. Their black rice paella is amazing. I attended their New Year’s Eve dinner service and sadly I was disappointed. The service was not there. Although our waitress was very friendly, our drinks took 30 minutes to arrive, even water. Tapas that were ordered never made it to the table. The special was unlimited tapas however, the communication was not there. I will be back for their food however, the event did not hit the mark.

    We enjoyed the paella Del Mar, it was full of flavor. The steak lacked flavor in comparison. We really enjoyed the octopus and the potatoes. You need extra bread to sop up the sauce to make sure none of that deliciousness goes to waste.
