    Vodka pasta with shrimp
    Aliyah S.

    My favorite restaurant of the trip! This food was delicious and the restaurant had a great vibe. I HIGHLY recommend the oysters and Parmesan fries for the appetizers! I had the seafood tagliatelle for my entree and was initially worried it wouldn't be filling but I wrong thankfully. The pasta was filled with a good amount of seafood and had a great flavor. Our waitress was very attentive to my group and had great recommendations for the table. I will definitely be back when I return.

    Ditka Burger with runny egg
    Rebecca N.

    Catalina Kitchen & Bar has become our go-to spot whenever we can't decide where to eat because we know the food and service will be consistently good. I've had a few occasions where my meal didn't come out exactly as ordered, but the staff always corrected it quickly and without hesitation. Because of that, those experiences never outweighed the overall quality of the restaurant. One of my favorite menu items is the Ditka Burger. I always add a runny egg on top (it doesn't come with one, but it absolutely should!) and swap the regular fries for the bistro fries with garlic aioli. When I'm looking for something lighter, I order the Cobb salad topped with rare filet and substitute the vinaigrette for blue cheese dressing. The salad is loaded with bacon, blue cheese crumbles, and some of the best deviled eggs I've had at a restaurant. The Brussels sprouts appetizer is also fantastic--really flavorful, well seasoned, and something we order often. The patio is dog-friendly, which is a huge plus. They have plenty of umbrellas and fans during Charlotte's hot summers, along with outdoor heaters when temperatures drop. After more than a year of dining here regularly, many of the staff recognize us when we come in, which gives the restaurant a true neighborhood feel. Another thing I appreciate is that the GM is frequently on-site and takes the time to check in with guests. That level of involvement shows and contributes to the welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a reliable neighborhood restaurant with great food, attentive service, a dog-friendly patio, and a team that genuinely cares about the customer experience, Catalina Kitchen & Bar is an easy recommendation.

    Filet mignon & eggs
    Zoe G.

    This was my first time visiting Catalina and it was for a brunch with the girls. Parking in the parking garage is validated, just bring your ticket in. It wasn't too loud inside which was nice, even though it was decently full during Sunday brunch. Parm fries were amazinggg, but I am disappointed we didn't get the amount of parm that other photos depict and that my friends had had in the past... My friend liked her lobster roll a lot but thought the cole slaw should've been in smaller pieces to make it more bite friendly. I wouldn't order the filet mignon & eggs again. The steak itself with the chimichurri was sooo delicious. However, the egg and salsa and breakfast potatoes were super bland. I would come back to try another menu, but not for brunch. Our server was super nice but busy

    Seafood pasta
    Holly M.

    Catalina is one of the most consistent restaurants in town, across the board. First, the restaurant is beautifully decorated, lots of seating (indoors and outdoor), with a nice bar area. Peter was our server and he was top notch-great recommendations and made sure to check on us throughout. I had the Strawberry Sangria, and my friend had the lavender lemonade mocktail-10/10 We tried the burrata on Peter's recommendation and not only was it delicious but it was the perfect size to share and not get too full. For entrees, we split the seafood pasta and the lasagna. Fresh pasta, fresh seafood, meaty lasagna. The portions are nice and we both went home with doggie bags. They also gave my friend a card and an ice cream sundae for her birthday. She was shocked and it was a really nice surprise for her. Bonus-they validate parking for the deck next door. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

    We had an amazing experience at Catalina Kitchen and Bar! We had a reservation for a group of 8 and I was from the start impressed with their ability and care to find a solution to seating us on time, even though the tables before us were running behind. We started out with the whipped burrata and it was to die for! The spicy tuna was also a huge hit with my friends. Everyone was happy with their food. I really loved the atmosphere of the restaurant and our server, Lydia, was so great! I would highly recommend this restaurant for an outing with friends, or any occasion!!

    Went for lunch and brunch. Had good experiences. The staff is extremely friendly. I really liked their Caesar salad when I went for brunch. This time for lunch I got a vodka parm sandwich. It was good but I would have preferred more sauce on it. I did remove the arugula because I am not a fan. The ambiance is very cute and the restaurant is decorated well. Keep in mind they only have pepsi products so if you like coca-cola products like myself, stick with water. They validate your parking in the garage so that is a huge plus!

    Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Decorum is excellent. It's at the top of our list for places to go for great food and service.

    Such a cute spot, we had a great dinner on the patio back in October with our dog! The heaters come in clutch as the weather cools down. It was really busy on a Saturday evening, but we lucked into a table. We asked our waiter for recommendations and he didn't let us down, we were both so impressed with our meal - I loved my Rigatoni! The Triple Chocolate Flourless Cake was the perfect dessert to top off the meal. Great spot if you're ever in Charlotte!

    Meatballs & Polenta (3)
    Kayla P.

    Great vibes and food. Service was very good! I had the polenta and meatballs and it was delicious. Tender, flavorful, and juicy for the win. Parmesan fries were crispy and hot. Drinks were tasty and well made. The place was packed and fun.

    Sunday Brunch to celebrate my daughter visiting, both my children's birthday (12/19 & 1/8), and Holidays together. Catalinas Kitchen is always a bases loaded, homerun hit. Each time I go, no matter my guests, it is total raves. I give it a 99.99 out of 100. Only .01% that keeps it from 100% is the Arancini is no longer on the menu. Yes, I can get this dish elsewhere, but nothing compares to theirs. I may need to start a "Bring Arancini Back to Catalinas" group. The following would be huge!

    A friend brought me here because they know I love pasta! All of their pasta is homemade and you can tell . This dish was amazing . My friend wasn't hungry so he only got regular fries and not even the Parmesan fries (booo LOL) , they were good but I think the parm fries would've been way better. Will be back to try other things on the menu.

    At the first glance from the outside, this place doesn't look much, but once you stepped inside the decor is amazing, the plants hanging down and the setup just nice. The service was excellent also. The food was good, but the price is higher than expected. I will recommend this place more if it is cheaper. But it is a great place and environment to hangout with friends.

That soup was so delish. Grilled cheese was good but I mean it's just cheese and bread so not much to say there lol. I sat at the bar and was served immediately. The place seems to be extremely popular for the after work crowd since they are right below Wells Fargo. Only thing I wasn't a fan of with their menu is that their sandwiches don't come with a side, In this expensive day and age, selling a sandwich and fries separately is kinda ridiculous to me.

We came in at a time when it wasn't really busy, but it took forever for our server to come around. Ordered two glasses of red and the cheese plate only to be told after we received the wine that there was no charcuterie -- at all. Not a "need to substitute" or "we're missing one of the items" just completely 86ed. Despite being prominently featured at the top of the menu! Since we already had our wine, we had to order something else. I went with the cheese sticks, and my mom ordered a hamburger based on what the table next to us had. When she got her burger though, despite us ordering the same as the table next to us, it was a completely different burger. She ate it anyway and my cheese sticks were okay for pub food. But overall, a really disappointing experience based on what we expected. And we had to hunt down the server to pay so we could get back to the conference on time.

The staff stood out, both our waitress and the other waiters were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. We ordered a mix of food for the table: tacos, fried pickles, steak and fries, cauliflower, and a burger. The highlights for us were definitely the fried pickles and the cauliflower--both were good and something I'd come back for. Everything else was just alright, hence the reason I deducted a star. We also loved that there was a pool table it added a lot to the experience but I do wish it was free instead of $2 a game. Still, not a dealbreaker.

The food was classic bar fare, but made with noticeably fresh ingredients. I had the chicken tenders with buffalo sauce. They were perfectly crispy, flavorful, and clearly just made. The waffle fries were piping hot and delicious, easily some of the best I've had. My husband ordered the waffle chicken sandwich and loved it!! Super filling and packed with flavor. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality. There were TVs throughout the space showing live soccer games, which added a nice vibe without being too loud or distracting. Even during lunch hours, it wasn't crowded or overly noisy, just a great place to relax and enjoy a tasty meal. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
