                                          We found the food to be very good and would recommend the tapas appetizer, the chicken, the salmon. The paella was good but not on par with what I've had in Spain (i know kind of picky) Service was a bit off. Problem in the kitchen delayed our food. they advised us of that. But my paella came out cold. they promptly replaced it with another serving missing the mussels. Overall a good value

                                          Hello:), the restaurants very nice and had a great atmosphere as well. It was Valentine’s Day so it was really busy too. The service was great and they really went over and above to make our experience there a rememberable one. The food was amazing and their menu has all kinds of delicious items on it we are going to have to go back to try. I’m looking forward to going back sometime soon and eating some more yummy food. Thanks again to the owners and staff for making our Valentine’s Day a special one!! See you again soon

                                          The ambience at Catalan is very nice and intimate. We sat in the indoor courtyard. My husband and I ordered martinis that were absolutely perfect and they poured them to the rim of the glass. Who doesn’t love a full pour! The beet and barrata salad was fantastic and the entrées were equally as delicious. I’d highly recommend the ribeye. The service was great and the vibe was equally as impressive. We will definitely make this one of our “go to” restaurants.

                                          Very flavorful food with just the right amount of spice. I would say they use top quality ingredients, nothing was greasy or overly done. That was calamari. Calamari appetizer with chickpea purée was to die for and very tender. Ditto on the paella, with mixed seafood, chorizo, and chicken. We will definitely be back.

                                          Great octopus slice over an olive compote. Full of flavor.

                                          The food was delicious. The octopus was prepared to perfection. The best we have ever had Paella was really nice. Staff was friendly.
