We had a fabulous time at Catalina for a birthday lunch. We both had the 7 course degustation lunch, and I had the wine pairing. Such delicious food, I loved the wines, and my wife enjoyed her cocktails. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. We’d asked for a table with a view, and was given one by the window, overlooking the water. Then when the sun got a little too bright they immediately moved us to a more shaded spot, still with the awesome view by the window. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion (& the toilets are the nicest I’ve seen!)

Two quibbles prevent a clean sweep: the veal main wandered stylistically, and the steak-knife / fork set looked as though it had seen one dégustation too many. Everything else, from pacing to wine matches, landed exactly where it should.

Even on a rainy winter's day Catalina is bright, warm and welcoming. Restaurant was busy but food and service was excellent. Great choice of cocktails/mocktails and wine by the glass - perfect for lunch. My husband felt his main of Murray cod with curry sauce was a little over powering of the fish, but beautifully cooked and presented. Other dishes we had were all excellent - stuffed zucchini flowers, crumpets with crabmeat, Coral trout. Highly recommend this restaurant for a stylish and always delicious lunch.

It is a special occasion restaurant. Beautiful views, food and service but at a price! My husband and I felt it was all worth it though. We had a lovely lunch.

Beautiful food. Enjoyed the prawn & cuttlefish entree. Bisque sauce was so delicious. Snapper for main was beautiful but not mad on garlic in the mashed potato. and the apple, blueberry and almond crumble was delicious.
