    All of us loved our meals and appreciated the friendly staff, great drinks, and interesting menu. I appreciate that the menu lists which items are gluten free. Convenient parking on the street and attached parking garage. We had to move tables because the angle of the sun into the restaurant is tough, but the staff was super nice about it. Highly recommend!

    Everything we ordered was fantastic! The octopus was so tender and the sauce was an excellent balance to the dish. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Catalu is amazing!! The beet salad is it of this world - best in Charlotte. Other tapas we enjoyed were the croquetas, canelones, and grilled steak!! Roger’s Flan is a great dessert choice!

    Our service was excellent and the staff were all friendly. Gave us all of the popular suggestions and their personal favorites. But the main reason you go out for any dining experience is the food and the food just wasn’t good. We love tapas places, Spanish food, Latin food, etc. so it’s not like we were out of our element here. $150 experience for two is something we’re happily willing to pay for quality food that you keep thinking about when you leave. But I’d much sooner go to Calle Sol, pay a bit less, and have better food. We were hoping that Catalu would be something like Curate in Asheville but the experiences aren’t even close. Again, service was lovely. Ambiance was fine. But I really can’t see the hype around this place.

    We had a phenomenal dinner of tapas for a family of 5 adults and a 2 year old toddler! Every dish was delicious and clearly had attention to detail from the chef. Our drinks were delicious and our server, Joseph, was wonderful! We went on a Tuesday at 4 and got half off cocktails and tapas so the meal was incredibly reasonably priced for the outstanding quality! Wish we lived in the area so we could be regulars!
