    Lovely restaurant as usual . Very elegant with the best service . The food is delicious
After charging the percent for the tip, I noted a separate line for an additional tip in a new check, but if you dont pay attention you could be charge twice. This is a trcik from some restaurants in Miami, It should say clearly "Adittional Tip" instead of "Tip" and Suggested percentage of tips below, So it’s worth checking the receipt closely.

    Restaurant Catula always delivers. The service is excellent the wait staff bends over backwards to make sure your time there leaves you feeling special. The food is melts in your mouth delicious. The branzino was beautifully cooked and the sauce was worthy of bread dipping. Let me not forget the dessert a guava flan that was truly amazing.

    We enjoyed the Miami Spice special offer meal of black bean risotto with roast pork and fried plantain, a mixed green salad, topped of with a fabulous dulce de leche for dessert. We also had the escargots (amazing) and the meat lasagna. Great prices on our drinks btw! Wonderful service from Alex!

    Service was very good and the food in general was good, except the seafood pasta, which was overcooked. I particularly loved the fried boquerones!
