    Food is very good to exceptional with well developed flavors, not easy to find in Jacksonville. Atmosphere is warm, romantic, elegant and comfortable. Service was very good although concept of having you pay “on the spot” at the table with a terminal pre-set to a minimum 22% tip is unbefitting a restaurant of this caliber and should be abandoned. Dishes were very high quality - some extremely high - with terrific flavors and composition. This is obviously a restaurant pushing the higher end and the 4 star rating is because I can’t give 4.5. It’s not a 5 - most restaurants are not. But it’s a real 4.5 and that’s saying something.

    This place was amazing from the front door until we left. Our server Ethan was informative and patient and on point with every recommendation. The shrimp and lobster pasta was so flavorful. The Spiced Salmon was cooked to perfection. I also see why so many come for the drinks. Special shout out to the Fire dancer. Cannot wait to get back! A nice classy establishment.

    Step into the seductive ambiance of Cataluna, where the dim lighting and plush seating create the perfect backdrop for a night of indulgence. As the smooth sounds of ambient music wrap around you, the bar offers an array of signature cocktails that go down as easily as the conversation. The staff? Effortlessly chic, they know how to make you feel both welcome and a little bit special. Whether you’re lounging in a velvet booth or swaying to the rhythm of the night. Prepare to be charmed — super happy to finally have such a quality lounge in Jacksonville

    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.
