                                          Food was excellent. Paella Mixta was incredibly flavorful and a good ration of proteins to rice. Branzino was very tasty but small filet portion with just a spoonful of spinach on the side did not justify the price for that dish. The Caramel crème dessert was delicious and a huge hit at the table. The owners were incredibly friendly and truly interest in providing a good experience. We will definitely return

                                          Our dining experience was excellent at Catalan with attentive service that was perfect. The grilled octopus was so tender and the Diver scallops had an excellent amount of char around the edges while the interior was still buttery. The scallops were served over street style corn. Excellent contrast of textures and flavours. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will come back the next time we are in town.

The food is delicious and well presented. The diver scallops with butternut squash purée was amazing. Rafael, Angela and the family have brought Catalon back to the top of our go-to restaurants.

The menu was interesting, you'll find multiple dishes that include both a seafood item and multiple farm raised meats like lamb and chicken. The hummus trio is good, too. I would try it again.
