Catalina Kitchen Cafe Bar & Restaurant

Delicious food but being a Tuesday night, slow service due to staff shortages - not uncommon today.

Welcoming service, hearty and tasty food, good wines and relaxed atmosphere

Great service by the staff. Food was plentiful and hot.

I was dissapointed wenwere sat in front of the wall that looked into the dirty dishes which was full a d looked disgusting. There were plenty of other places to be sat. I had the risotto which was one of the worst I had. Upon paying they tried to charge me for GF pasta for my risotto because I order GF options. They took that charge away but still over charged me by $5 for my meal. I would not go back.

Friendly and efficient staff. Variety of quality food that was well presented. Convenient location with very easy access and parking. A good part of our local restaurant options.

The food was okay but nothing to rave about. Perhaps a specials leaflet to provide a few more options might be nice.

Pros: wonderful friendly attentive staff. Quick service. Cons: No atmosphere and cold. Felt like we were having dinner at a Cafe. Sound was echoing and loud as there are no soft furnishings to absorb the noise. Bright lights made it feel like a hospital cafeteria. Food was nice but both dishes were incredibly salty for a cream pasta and ragu pasta. We had always seen this place on insta, but the experience for us was unfortunately very different to the marketing. Shame as the staff were truly wonderful.

Varied menu with wide choices for main courses plus pizzas. Food was good quality and well presented. Competitively priced. Service was good. Only negative was that details indicated that on a Saturday the restaurant was open until 10pm. At 8:45pm we asked about coffee and were told that the machine was being cleaned, but staff member said they would ask. They returned a little later with a “no”. While talking and considering dessert, another staff member approached us and said that coffee could be prepared. Dessert menu had some popular dishes but was small.

Always a pleasure dining here. Attentive service. Seating indoor or outdoor.

A suburban favourite. Lovely staff and quiet location. Always something tasty to try. Enjoyed a walk down to the lake afterwards.

It was lunch on New Years Day Not crowded but short of staff meant a long delay One of our party ordered a chicken salad but the chicken was over cooked and dry

Steak was good fantastically! Service was also very good. Would recommend.

Good value for money, with decent portions. Basic food, but still nice to eat.

Food was delicious and the service was very good !

My Husband has the steak special which was lovely. I had the chicken parmigiana which was well below standard in my opinion. It was obviously a store bought, highly processed crumbed chicken fillet that you’ve just added tomato sauce, cheese and ham too. Not really what I’d have expected from a restaurant. Seriously, you have to make it yourself or what is the point? Extremely disappointing

A warm, friendly welcome by FOH staff. Delicious food. So pleased I could take leftovers home. Also had a good range of cakes and sweets. Took a couple home for my family.

Good choice of food, excellent staff. Venue is also good. Will be back.

Friendly and relaxed setting. Service friendly and attentive. Will come back soon.

Food was delicious, service was excellent and we could talk amongst our table easily without background noise. Parking was very easy and prices were very reasonable. We will be back 😃
