We had a wonderful time at Catalina’s! The moment we arrived, we had a lovely welcome from Henni who talked us through both our menu and our dog’s menu. We always look out for dog-friendly restaurants, but this has been the best experience so far. Everything we ordered was really delicious! Even our dog enjoyed her meal. Shame we live so far. Catalina’s is the type of place where we could easily become regulars.
