Went here with my friend; the ambiance was nice as expected. On the other hand the service and food were terrible, every round of drinks took over 20 minutes to receive without explanation. For my entree; I ordered the cauliflower steak and received a plate of burnt broccoli and spinach with mushrooms; I asked my server whom returned 25 minutes after she'd delivered the food what was this she had no idea.

Catalina Kitchen offers a range of dining experiences, from breakfast buffets to seafood feasts. The seafood buffet has received praise for its great choices and options for everyone. The prime rib and oyster bar continue to be noted for their quality. The staff is described as apologetic and accommodating when issues are raised, and some servers are known for their attentive service and knowledge about drinks and recipes. Catalina Kitchen is recommended for excellent service, great views, and a delightful dining experience, especially the Sunday brunch, which boasts a good selection.
Despite the positive feedback, some customers have mentioned that the service can be slow and inattentive at times, particularly during the breakfast buffet, which has faced criticism for running out of items and delays in refills. The Friday buffet, priced at $80 per person, only provides a buffet option without an a la carte menu, which can be challenging for those with food allergies or dietary restrictions due to the absence of food labeling and concerns about cross-contamination.
The recently added reviews highlight the delicious food, quiet atmosphere, and beautiful views at Catalina Kitchen. Customers have praised the Tuna Tartar, Chilean Sea Bass, and perfectly cooked Filet. However, some have noted that the restaurant appears to be understaffed, leading to longer wait times for seating and service. Additionally, while the brunch buffet is considered the best, there are some suggestions for improving the variety of cheeses and bread offerings.
