    Food was just okay. The paella was mid, not enough seafood on it. Tapas were small for the price and vs other resturant options. Service was not good

    The food was OK. I felt like it was overpriced. If you have not had tapas before, and this is your first experience, you wouldn’t know any different. I’d say it is average. The restaurant is noisy.

    The environment gives sitting in someone's house. We arrived early so really quiet, but as the space filled up, it gets loud with the high ceiling. Beautiful food, serving pieces, even the bill carrier. Food was delicious and different.

    Each time we eat at Catalú we’re impressed by the quality of the food and service. Now that the weather is warmer, the outdoor seating makes the dining experience even better.

    Service was excellent, food was only ok. Not much on the menu really popped. Most of the food could have done with more flavor. Good ambience, would only go back with a group if others wanted it. Won’t rush back, but nothing was bad.

    Loved the food — we tried a lot of different dishes and all were delicious. The atmosphere is lively but too loud for conversation. Enjoyed our evening!
