This place was amazing from the front door until we left. Our server Ethan was informative and patient and on point with every recommendation. The shrimp and lobster pasta was so flavorful. The Spiced Salmon was cooked to perfection. I also see why so many come for the drinks. Special shout out to the Fire dancer. Cannot wait to get back! A nice classy establishment.

Step into the seductive ambiance of Cataluna, where the dim lighting and plush seating create the perfect backdrop for a night of indulgence. As the smooth sounds of ambient music wrap around you, the bar offers an array of signature cocktails that go down as easily as the conversation. The staff? Effortlessly chic, they know how to make you feel both welcome and a little bit special. Whether you’re lounging in a velvet booth or swaying to the rhythm of the night. Prepare to be charmed — super happy to finally have such a quality lounge in Jacksonville

The food wasn’t as good I’d like. I think you’re paying for the aesthetic vs. the price.

What a fun and unique evening! The food was varied and delicious. Server was attentive. The atmosphere and entertainment were something we had never seen in Jacksonville, and thoroughly enjoyed. Our party of 4 enjoyed cocktails, shared 5 small plates and 2 large plates, and topped it all off with 2 desserts, which was more than ample. We will definitely return.

First time fining! Beautiful place, very nice ambiance & cool vibes! Food wasn’t bad just ala carte menu; very expensive. Flame thrower was entertaining! Drinks not bad. Highly recommend getting Daniel with the menu prior to dining!

We went to Cataluna for the first time because of my husband‘s 65th birthday. We had a fantastic time ⭐️ The food was excellent with exception of my son-in-law dish. He did not love this steak. It was dried out, however, everything else at the table was delicious. Our server was top-notch, five star and the ambience of the place is just exceptional. I would recommend it highly and we will return.
