    The food wasn’t as good I’d like. I think you’re paying for the aesthetic vs. the price.

    What a fun and unique evening! The food was varied and delicious. Server was attentive. The atmosphere and entertainment were something we had never seen in Jacksonville, and thoroughly enjoyed. Our party of 4 enjoyed cocktails, shared 5 small plates and 2 large plates, and topped it all off with 2 desserts, which was more than ample. We will definitely return.

    We went to Cataluna for the first time because of my husband‘s 65th birthday. We had a fantastic time ⭐️ The food was excellent with exception of my son-in-law dish. He did not love this steak. It was dried out, however, everything else at the table was delicious. Our server was top-notch, five star and the ambience of the place is just exceptional. I would recommend it highly and we will return.

    I like the concept, it feels very Miami 'Clubstaurant'. The menu offeres small plates (tapas) and also full entrees. We shared several of the tapas offerings and it was good. My only comment is that all of the food came out barely warm. Wondering if much is made ahead of time and then sits in the kitchen until an order comes up? The wine selection was nice and we were very happy with our bottle of wine. The service was a tiny bit slow at the beginning but improved. It was a fairly youngish crowd and as I understand it, they have a DJ that starts at 10:00pm; we left a few minutes before so don't know how that changes the atmosphere. I would definetly try it another time. Beware some of the tables are very low and could be uncomfortable for the taller gents.

    I recently celebrated my birthday at this place, and it was an unforgettable experience! Despite last-minute changes to our party size from 6 to 8 guests, the staff handled it seamlessly. The service was top-notch, with a friendly, accommodating, and attentive team that catered to our every need. The ambiance was stunning, perfectly blending elegance and warmth, and featuring intriguing entertainment that added to the evening’s magic. The food was truly exceptional, with each dish expertly prepared and boasting its own unique flavors. I had the pleasure of sampling a variety of options. Standouts including the Brussels sprouts, fresh Cesar salad, pan-seared salmon, tender filet, and crispy pork skins. The sautéed mushrooms and truffle fries were also noteworthy sides. Although I didn't try the octopus, it looked incredible, and those who did said it was delicious. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions or a night out. The food, service, and atmosphere are unmatched. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and I think it's an ideal spot for smaller, intimate gatherings.
