    This experience was magnificent ! Ambience , Food, wine , staff were all exceptional ! Do yourself a favour forget the reat and eat only at the best where the seafood was fresh, wild caught and from the local trawlers instead of the freezer and via Asia. 10/10 and Thankyou to this establishment ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I was very disappointed with the lunch menu choice. I have been to your restaurant several times for breakfast which has a great menu choice. I bought my family along yesterday and was extremely disappointed.

    Disappointed to say the least as Catalina is one of my favourites. Not the usual staff working and it made a big difference with service. This of course can always be overlooked if the food is its usual delicious self. Booked for three. Two of us ordered the grilled chicken burger at $30 each. We couldn't eat the chicken as it was extremely fatty and just well tasted awful. When our plates finally got cleared, I mentioned to the staff member that the meals were disappointing. They told us they would let the chef know. When they returned we were informed that "you are not the only ones who have complained about the chicken, must be a problem with it". And that's it. No resolution. No apologies. Disappointed.

    We had breakfast and coffee there for four adults and two children. The wait staff were wonderful, the food service was prompt, the food was exceptional and the coffee was fabulous. The view from the Cafe itself is beautiful. Highly recommend Cafe Catalina.

    Food and location are great. Been there multiple times before. Unfortunately on this occasion our meals took more than an hour to arrive, and the 2 of us only ordered a salad and a fish dish, so that was disappointing, but overall it was good.
