La Catalana

Pretty decent food. I enjoyed their seafood paella and octopus appetizer. Their chicken dish on the specials menu tonight was very good - soft and delicious. Sauce it was cooked in was tasty.Their cannelloni was very good as well. Didn't leave room for dessert but it was a satisfying meal. They had live music playing tonight. Very cozy ambience with mood lighting. Servers were courteous and helpful. Restaurant was busy. Parking lot is available on site and I didn't have any trouble finding a parking space on a Friday night.

The vibe of this place is a 10/10.The lighting is perfectly dim, good atmosphere, great service. Of course, an amazing wine selection.Most of our tapas were very good. 2 of them were a bit bland but they were still delicious.Highly recommend the octopus!

It started off strong but got busy and being alone I was forgotten.Food was authentic but I have had better. Note, I would go back to try more to see textures and tastes. Will continue to compare to when I lived in Spain.Happy atmosphere and employees were on the move to serve.

The perfect place to enjoy tapas, live music, and Spanish wine! I had a delightful experience here celebrating a special occasion with a friend. I'd say the chorizo croquetas are a must!! I would order it every single time. The patatas bravas were also amazing. Bring cash to tip the live music performers- they will not take no for an answer. We didn't have cash and they insisted us to Venmo or Zelle them. It was a little rude that they insisted we tip them no matter what...

Last minute reservations on a Sat night. Easy parking. Nice warm, and very homey interior. Felt very comfortable. The owner was there (her picture was on the menu). Very quiet, and somewhat shy. I was expecting her to be more vibrant. Maybe she was sick. Good bread service with high quality olive oil. Tried the patatas bravas, cannelloni with beef, octopus and cauliflower steak. Good portion sizes for the money, well executed dishes, well presented and just really good cooking. The Octopus was without that kinda slimy underbelly, which I appreciated. Tender with good grill marks. Potatoes were crispy and pillowy on the inside and the bra as sauce was flavorful and somewhat unique. Cauliflowers was a thick, well braised with lots of garlic!! Very pleased with our meal, service, value and atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Was in town for a convention and we had a reservation here for a small group. This meal was amazing. Every dish had so much flavor and it was probably my favorite meal while in town. The staff has great recommendations and brought everything with perfect timing.

Ambiance, service, food, all five stars! I can see why this place is always busy! The food was amazing and the staff was great! We got the patatas con alioli, arros negre, almejas, and the pescaditos fritos! The alioli, OMG!!! Each dish didn't disappoint! I highly recommend!!!

Our new favorite local spot. We've passed by this restaurant so many times and finally had dinner on a Friday night. No reservation for two people and we're seated quickly on the patio. The service here is fantastic. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food is delicious. We have yet to have a bad dish here. We've tried a few of their seasonal specials including the pork and steak. Their proteins are cooked to the perfect temperature. For sides, we've tried the cauliflower steak. Really can't go wrong with veggies slathered in butter and cream sauce. We had never come across a noodle paella. We went for the one with pork belly. Really tasty and crispy. Pretty oily but that's what makes it taste good. Drinks are also really good. I've had the red sangria and white. The white is like a dessert, it comes with sorbet. My fiancé really likes one of the Spanish beers. And dessert! Their take on a crème brûlée is delicious. Save room. This is our new date night spot and a place we'll be taking guests visiting from out of town. It really doesn't look like much from the outside, it's in an unassuming strip mall with a round table. Don't judge a book by its cover. The inside and patio are quaint and sophisticated.

Excelente servicio , el mesero siempre estuvo muy atento, el ambiente muy agradable y que se puede decir de la comida cada platillo fue de buen gusto

My husband and I have dined here several times and I can honestly say we have never been disappointed! We even take our friends and family to enjoy the dining experience here. The patatas bravas and pulpo are always a must. The menu does change seasonally so we are always trying something new. The last time I went here (about 2 weeks ago) with some girl friends, they loved the ambience and of course the food! As we were eating they said this is like a little food getaway as we don't feel like we are even in San Jose anymore. I will disclose that I am not from Spain so I am not educated on what authentic Spanish dishes would be, but I do know that Tapas are small plates or appetizers so I know what portions to expect when we come to dine here. I am Portuguese and we do know flavor and that is always delicious and on point here! Bravo to Chef Nicole and her kitchen team. The servers Rodrigo and Diego are very polite and attentive. (Very knowledgeable about their wine pairings) They add to the pleasantness of the dinning experience especially when they remember us as we walk in. It's like seeing old friends that you're about to catch up with. I was hanging out with one of my friends last week that I had brought here and she mentioned I'm still thinking about that food. I guess you can say La Catalana left a lasting impression.To the kind Roselló family, thank you for running this gem of a restaurant. Wishing you continued success and looking forward to the next food getaway at La Catalana.
