First I want to thank the owner Luis who was very accommodating in securing a late reservation for our large party of 13. The restaurant is ambience is welcoming, the drinks though a tad pricey were delicious and the appetizers were delicious. My friends who had entrees liked what the ordered. The best part was the service; the waitstaff made us definitely welcomed. I would go back to Catcus.

The service was good but the food was very lackluster. Especially for the price. The beef was dry and chewy and my fiancé ordered the shrimp dish and she didn’t realize it was raw (which it doesn’t say on the menu) so she was immediately grossed out but felt too bad to send back. I didn’t mind it but it was not worth the price. Everything was way overpriced for the quality.

Very accommodating for a large table. Slow service and only had one drink per person in two hours of being there. Had a weird miscommunication with one of the owners about him buying our group shots. He tried to charge us $130 - put a bad taste in our mouth about the overall ending to a so-so dining experience.
