This place is a hidden gem in Jacksonville. Whether a date night, a night out with friends or a celebration, Cataluna stimulates all the senses with its beautiful decor, vibrant atmosphere, tasty food, hand-crafted beverages, and exceptional service. We fell in love with this place as soon we walked in! It turns into a lounge after 10:30 pm weekends.

Great ambience and service, food was not up to par with the ambience, wasn’t bad but it wasn’t as memorable as the attention and the atmosphere

Very chic. Very trendy. Dress appropriately. Going there makes you feel like you are in with the "in" crowd. Take advantage of the valet parking. Cool people drive around the back, NOT past the lottery district office on the other side. Inside the waiters come and go, looking like Carravagio's. Is 3 tchovarich shy of having Russian mafia vibes. Lounge is the sunken area bit and is larger. Regular seating is around the edge along the "mezzanine". VIP area is raised area by tastefull yet trendy D.J. right near first bar. Reservations are good, be sure to pick where. Oh! the food is great! Our waiter suggested a great, separate, pairing for each of our dishes and was spot on.

Disappointed with the experience: Celebrated my wife’s birthday, but service fell short. The server didn’t clean the table before bringing desserts, and despite ordering for the entire party, only 2 desserts arrived initially. We waited for some time for the rest. We’d better get them all at once. Our first experience here on my daughter’s birthday was much better, so this was quite a letdown. Not the special experience we hoped for.
