Cata Vino is a great place to go for a romantic evening or a good time with friends. We’ve been coming here for years now and the Spanish Tapas and excellent wine always hit the spot. “Our”bartender Lucas Khalil always takes extra good care to ensure we have a great meal and a cool vibe. I can’t say enough about all of the fantastic experiences we have had on quiet evenings or among good friends. Cheers To all the staff who make Cata Vino our favorite, “Go To” Resturant in Detroit!

This place was recommended to us by friends. We ordered many of their dishes. The food was OK, portions even for a Tapas meal were very small. The menus are nice with some nice assortment of dishes, but you will have to order way more than what you think. Service was very good and accommodating. Our server approached us before we were done with our food , did not get to the sweets yet and told us” the owner is telling you that you are over your time” !!! Couple minutes later server came to apologize. This was a bad act of the owner!! We ordered couple Cappuccino and desserts, The desserts were very good and very tasty, both Cappuccinos were cold! We left couple of hundreds of dollars at this restaurant and we left with a unhappy experience.

This is one of my fav Spanish places, and I have eaten Spanish food IN Spain! This is a great place for a nice round of snacks with friends before a concert, or just in general. I can safely recommend most things on the menu ;)

My husband and I went here right before we saw Hamilton. We sat to the left, in the wine area. The server was ...there...that was about it. They add a COST OF LIVING, which is a 20% tip to your bill. They also add a 4% cost if you are using a credit card. NEITHER of these extra costs are printed on the menu or told to you in advance!! I also examined more of our bill, and the server had put another person's bottle of wine on our tab. This was spotted after we paid with our credit card. When I presented it to the bartender to have removed, no apology was made. This was our experience. No opinion was added, just facts. IMO: If you can't pay your workers the cost of living, don't leave it up to customers. Will not be returning.

The food, service, and atmosphere until the bill came were great. But I write this to give future customers a heads-up that there's a 3% "processing fee" that's not on the menu or anywhere else I could see. And the (otherwise excellent) waitstaff was not prepared to handle this -- management's fault.
There's actually another larger charge the restaurant doesn't mention up front: a 20% "living wage charge" in place of a tip. But I find tipping a terrible system so this concerns me less; I have worked as a waiter! (I was only a party of two; I was not with a large party where a required gratuity is normal.)
When I asked what the processing fee was, the waiter wrongly said it was was on the menu. He then said that rather than ask the general manager to remove the fee, he'd just pay it himself. He added that I wouldn't be able to avoid the fee in the future.
I Googled later and confirmed that Michigan law doesn't allow restaurants to charge undisclosed credit-card processing fees. Also businesses can't charge fees for debit-card payments in any state. I had a debit card and cash, although unfortunately I didn't think of this and the waiter didn't suggest it.

Some foods were delicious like the shrimp, and some were average like the Patatas. Pricey but the added 23% for non food charges made tipping confusing. Considering the fact it is "small Plates" not sure why all of it cost more than a "normal Meal" and a 23% tip/service charge/ processing fee is added. I guess it is a Detroit thing. If a "Living Wage" is automatically added, why is the food so expensive? Doesn't food pricing already include the cost of labor? I was not happy!
