    It has a great concept, but service and food dispatch were off tonight. We left without getting all the tapas that were ordered.

    Catalina is a total vibe and I recommend going for drinks. We went for a date night and we are not drinking alcohol right now so they made us 2 nice mocktails. It took 20 minutes to get water and for them to take our drink order. We ordered olives, papas bravas, garlic shrimp, aranchaga soup, ham manchego croquettes. The croquettes showed up first after an hour, we were surprised they didn't actually have any ham in them but they were good. The garlic shrimp and soup showed up about 15 minutes later and were overcooked and the soup is chicken broth with egg and ham, not very good but maybe some people like it. The olives showed up when we were ready to leave even though they just get scooped onto a bowl. The papas bravas never showed up and were not on the bill. So service isn't great and the food is lack luster. Would go back for the great atmosphere and drinks. Skip the food or atleast the items we chose.

    This place is STUNNING! Everything is beautiful and intentional. We went for my birthday and had amazing service and great recommendations on food. I have seen people complain about the plate sizes , but my partner and I can eat and we were perfectly satisfied off of 3 shared plates. ( I think some people don’t know how to order properly??) anywho we only have great things to say! Go try it!

    Small portions. Do not come hungry. They were slow and rushed a party of 5 out instead of just not taking the reservations. Not accommodating

    Overall, everything was very good. A bit noisy but as expected for an tapas bar. It is very dark though. I don’t know why most new restaurants have such a dark working environment. This place has a lot of chandeliers! Yet it is so dark. Luckily we were by the main window and the street lights helped. But back in the booths, way too dark. People used their phone’s flashlight to read the menu.
