    The food was just OK and the server treated me like I was an inconvenience. This restaurant might be better for dinner but is not a good lunch spot.

    Enjoyed the ability to not feel rushed during a business meeting. Service was superior. Staff was very helpful on target with menu suggestions. Dining room was nicely painted with scenic views and seats were very comfortable. Did not have any alcohol, but the bar also looked like a place you want to stop and enjoy a cocktail or light bites. Note - it was tricky to pull in - the entrance is on a highway with a merge area right where you need to turn in to the parking lot.

    Appetizer menu and side dishes for entrees were limited and lack what I would consider the standards. But food and service were both very good. Can't blame the restaurant for the table of obnoxiously loud people across the room.

    We had a fabulous Mothers Day dinner. Mom liked the lamb, hubby liked the veal, daughter liked the chicken and I enjoyed seafood. Tiramisu dessert was the bomb, so was the chocolate cake. A good night was had by all 😋

    Overall good food, excellent attentive staff. Price is expensive. Soup, 1 pasta, 2 chicken and 1 fish and 3 desserts cost over $160 without tip. It's been over a year since we last dined here and remember it as much better. Lobster Bisque was fishy tasting and very thin. Past dish was fair, Chicken dishes were OK and Shrimp dish was good. Food overall was good, but I'm giving La Catena 4 stars because of the service which was very good. Even though the meal was very good, I expected better for what I would consider fine dining, Next special occasion I will probably think of another establishment to give a try.

    Because it was Cinco de Mayo, the restaurant was very quiet. The service was awesome, the staff was really friendly and spent some time with us. The food and drinks were very good and we'd go back to try other dishes.
