    The Christmas Brunch experience was overall very good. The two of us changed our table to the outside patio are because the noise level, especially the clanging of dishes that the wait and bus staff were doing was spoiling the ambiance. Glad we did because the patio was much quieter and we then had an exceptional waiter in Felix who was very attentive and brought what we desired. I would go back to Catalina Kitchen just for him. The food was good, a very wide variety, however some of the vegetable dishes did not look very appetizing. Everything else had nice flavor, loved the crab legs.

    It was the first time I was there w family. We waited 10 min to be seated. We waited for 20 min for waitress to come to table. We waited at least 20 min for our beverages, including coffee. It took 20-25 min to get our lunch! Unbelievable!!! We couldn’t even get water! Poor poor service Ahi salad was spoiled…

    Worst service I have ever experienced. After 30 minutes of being completely ignored I had to get up and ask for coffee and water. When I asked for a coffee refill it never came. You feel like your table is in a dead zone as servers pass by and ignore you. We were given a discount but it doesn’t really make up for how truly bad the service is. This is such a contrast to other restaurants at this resort.

    It took 1 hour to get our dinner from the time waitress took our order-Ridiculous! Especially when the restaurant didn’t seem too crowded. She kindly brought out 2 desserts on the house to make up for it!! The menu was limited for a dinner menu.

    Service was awful for a five star hotel. Lina took our order for appetizers and we never saw her again for an hour. three of our party of seven went up to get help on separate occasions. we ordered several cocktails, a bottle of wine, appetizers and main courses plus desserts. The restaurant was empty so we were all surprised the service was so poor. Waiter Al came over and tried to make it up to us by being super helpful and friendly but by then our meal was over. Do better, Terranea!
