    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!

    Very good service. Vibe was cool. Nice selection of drinks and food. Would recommend. Had the ceviche and the charcuterie as appetizers which were good. The spicy pulpo was not great. Patatas bravas, steak and stuffed chicken crepes were good. The catalan desert was good.

    The food was great and they were accommodating for allergy preferences. We also enjoyed the ambiance. But the service was subpar. We waited quite a while before we had a server even come to our table. We also waited a while for our drinks to arrive. And then we waited quite a while for the server to even close out our tab and take our payment at the end. We had to seek out someone several times to get things we needed. We were a party of 3 and we were there 2+ hours because things were just slow. Maybe they were short staffed, but it would’ve been a better experience if the service was better!

    They didn’t have a table available when we arrived for our reservation so to remedy this a table wasn’t set for us in the back. We were basically sitting in the bathroom line. It was weird and made the experience overall not very enjoyable
