It was lovely to return one of Sydney’s icon restaurants. The family feel, quality of cooking and efficient, friendly staff make you feel right at home. As we expected a great range of fresh seafood was on the menu and thoroughly enjoyed. Nice to see a cocktail list added to the drinks menu and the very underrated Doyle’s wines and beer are still available. Add in the wonderful location, novel ferry ride to get there and the views, made a lunch a great occasion for the family. We won’t wait so long to return next time. Cheers, Rob S.

We came to Catalina for the first time as a family, to celebrate an 18th birthday & end of HSC and a 16th birthday. The food was amazing and the service was spectacular! We don’t often eat out at high end restaurants, but the waiter made us feel very comfortable, very friendly and explained the menu well. The salmon entree, beef fillet main and lemon tart were absolute standouts for me. We will definitely return for a special occasion again!
