    Nice as but unfortunately we were sat next to an exceptionally loud group. Tough one for the restaurant to judge. Not really their fault but maybe a subtle word may have helped, you could tell a lot of people were interrupted.

    Amazing seafood. Recommend the tempura flowers and tuna scallop crudo, as well as the snapper. Definitely worth it for a special occasion due to the free complementary snack for dessert.

    A wonderful way to celebrate a spritely 90 year olds birthday. The team made her feel so special & placed us in the best table, on the deck on a glorious sunny sydney afternoon. Attentive, with subtle special attention without being over bearing. The menu & food was exquisite, beautiful flavours with immaculate presentation. We have been a few times before and will be back again- many thanks for making this celebration special (TBF, the weather & view helped!) Highly recommend!

    I would recommend Catalina to anyone who wants to have beautiful fresh food at a beautiful setting. We had the 8 plate experience and what an experience it was, the first course was served by the Head Chef Alan, which was such a great touch. My partner had the wine package set to the menu which she enjoyed. Overall the whole lunch was first class. So good!

    We were a group of 8 celebrating a milestone birthday and it could not have been better. The service from the predominantly French staff was sensational, a very comprehensive wine list and the variety and quality in the menu out of this world. Thank you so very much!
