   Very happy to have Cataluna in Jacksonville. You are received properly by the door being open ed for you revealing a beautiful romantic interior energized by DJ curated house music and you are received by a friendly and professional hostess (all too rare in Jacksonville). Our wait at the bar til our table opened up was a very nice prologue and the bartender was attentive and prompt. Some overly full of themselves concoctions ("Catatonics"), but I appreciate the creativity, are specialties. Once seated, our server was very nice, but we did have to chase him down several times. I would say the food has a ways to go, given the price. Quite easy with a couple of drinks each to spend $250 per couple. However the vibe was cool, with couples and singles across a range of ages mostly dressed to impressed. It was a Saturday night and the firedancer added to the ambience without demanding attention. The already high energy was deliberately increased starting at 10:00 when the volume went up a notch and the entire staff came out with those giant sparklers in each hand. We left about 10:30 but you really had the feeling the party was just starting. We will be back but likely later, after dinner, having saved ourselves for the interesting mezze, and likely some classic drinks instead of the Catatonics. High hopes for Cataluna.

   We really enjoyed our meal! The food was absolutely amazing. The only downside was our service was pretty slow. We wanted to order another round of drinks, but by the time our waiter checked on us, we had finished our meal. Not sure if they were understaffed, or if it was just because it was during the holiday season and our waiter was working on a lot of tables with larger parties, so we were understanding, just a little disappointing given the attention to detail in other areas of our meal.

   I had a great experience overall. I would definitely go back with friends. The drinks, service and ambience were immaculate. I just felt like the food definitely needed more seasoning, but it was still good.

   Great food and service. The flat bread, lamb chops and salmon tartar were excellent. The Dolce cake was a delicious treat. I will be back again.
