Poorly paired foods with little flavor. The clear mind cocktail tasted like spoiled milk. Music was too loud to talk normally, waiter stood over me to watch me tip instead of dropping the check.

This place is perfect for a date night or a fun evening out with the girls. Both the menu and the cocktails are fantastic.

1st time coming to this restaurant. I wish they would have decorated the table since I specified it was a birthday celebration as to why my family and I were coming there to eat. The food was delicious, the staff was amazing, and the ambiance was so good. My only strife is that the drinks took forever to arrive even though the night my family went it was not packed. I would also suggest that because the food is made to order (b/c the food took some time to be served as well) to have a complimentary item like bread or chips of something to nibble on while waiting on the food to be served. Overall the experience was nice. Glad my husband found this restaurant.

I will rate Cataluna a 7 out of 10. It is a beautiful restaurant but they were under staffed and overwhelmed with it being a full house. There was no fire show because they had to do away with it for safety reasons. They turn into a club vibe with a dj around 10 pm. I would go on a week night when less ppl are there. You definitely have to make reservations or the chances of getting a table is slim to none.

Made reservations because the website stated that it would be Jazz night. Not the case. The place was very very slow. Unlike any other time I have been. The service was very slow. A drink on your specialty menu was no longer available.

We enjoyed dining here on so many levels … the decor is fresh and inviting - the food is prepared to perfection and the service was exceptional from the moment we walked in the front doors. If you’re looking for a new, unique dining experience, you definitely want to give CataLuna a try.
