Belgian Waffles
Hannah F.

We stopped by here for breakfast with a group of family that was visiting from out of town. Everyone agreed that the ambiance was charming and that the food was great. I had the fajita omelet with chicken and it was very yummy. It had great flavor, was packed with veggies and it was covered in cheese. The cubed breakfast potatoes were crispy and delicious. The French toast was very good too. My husband had the Belgian waffles and he said they were alright but he wished the portion was a bit larger. My husband said that he really enjoyed the hash browns. Everyone else was exclaiming over the pancakes and other items they ordered as well. Overall Catalina's has reasonable pricing, cute ambiance and very good service. Parking is limited in the parking lot but there is some street parking available as well. We will absolutely be back and we will recommend this spot to our neighbors as well.

This was a suggestion by my friends who live here. The was just passing through on a layover - and she recommended this diner. I AM A FAN OF DINERS!! (I'm an east coast kid ) The menu was extensive and they serve breakfast all day long!! They also serve alcohol as I saw a few margaritas float past our table. The service was friendly and I'm guessing it family run because everyone was friendly! The cooks thanked us for coming in from the kitchen!! Who does that!? THIS PLACE DOES!! The dining room was spacious. The bathrooms were super clean. There's a counter you can eat at. And they offer tables and booths. I ordered the shrimp fajitas and my friends ordered the 3 taco plate - chicken. It was all delicious! Their homemade hot sauce is killer too If you haven't been here you need to! I am sure you'll enjoy whatever you choose at Catalina's. My only critique is they should get a filter system for the tap water they serve - it was not good. Happy grubbing!!

The service and food were outstanding. Angel is excellent at his job. It's great to know they grind their own beef.

Walked into a time capsule of sorts. This place has the old time diner look down pact. From the stools, open grill area and diner booth and table layout. We had a fantastic brunch. My son had chicken and waffles (kind of a small portion but good) and I had eggs, sausage and hash browns with gravy. So good. We were seated quickly and our orders taken. Although they say breakfast can take a bit longer, it came in good time. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Great place in a small town.

Tiramisu-

This diner has such great comfort food ranging from street tacos to Calzones and hot sandwiches. Today's special was FRENCH dips. Served with brisket type sliced beef on a beautiful crunchy bun with gooey cheese. The au jus was just the right salty and beefy. And the dessert-homemade Tiramisu so rich and creamy. The perfect end to a really exceptional lunch.

Are you kidding me! Soooo good

Ok, I'm giving this all the stars because my meal was perfection…read more First of all, there's NO parking. It was awful. Of course that place is packed too! Maybe they all uber... Anyway, we had great service and it's a nice space. Pretty sure we started with garlic knots and the burrata. Both were very good. I got the linguine and clams in the spicy red sauce. It was effing amazing. Perfect spice, and lots of clams! My cousin got the Bolognese, which as it says is smokey... but to the point that it takes over the dish. We then got the spumoni bomba. Effing delicious. I completely understand why this place was packed.

If I could give this restaurant a 10/10, I would! What phenomenal service…read more We booked through OpenTable and mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary. When we arrived, the hostess greeted us by saying she saw we were celebrating, making us feel special from the moment we walked in. Then Noah came over to welcome us. He wished us a happy anniversary and was just the sweetest, so attentive from the start. He brought us garlic knots on the house for our first visit. They were to die for, and such a lovely way to make us feel welcome! We ordered salted caramel espresso martinis, and they were delicious. My husband had the lobster ravioli, and I had the chicken piccata. The food was divine! I also love that they offer both full and half portions. I ordered the half portion, and it was plenty; my husband happily finished his full one. A gentleman whose name I didn't catch poured our wine. He was so kind, and we enjoyed chatting with him about California wines. Later, after our cannoli arrived, he came back, pulled up a chair, and asked us about our love story. Such a thoughtful, personal touch. We truly felt the family spirit of this restaurant. It says so much about the owners and their team, the care they show their guests shines through in the service. We'll definitely be back! I wish I had taken pictures, but take my word for it: check this place out! My husband even said that, in the nine years we've been together, this was one of our top three dates ever.

For dessert, I've only had their creme brûlée; but again, YUMMY. Drinks = They have a good variety of soda, beer, wine, italian sodas, etc. Service = The waiters are always friendly and accommodating. Extra condiments on request! :) The front desk is sometimes not 100% friendly, but that's probably because they're so BUSY. Ambience = The church side has awesome ambience, although it feels a tad cramped. But it's a pretty cool setting for an italian restaurant. The "pizza parlor" side feels more spacious but also more like a typical pizza restaurant. It's fine. Location/parking = Location's near downtown but has plenty of parking down the street. They are basically kings on their block -- not really any other parking competition nearby.

I really wanted to give Scileppi's a higher rating but I couldn't based on the food... note the…read moreservice was wonderful. We arrived late in the afternoon on a Saturday. What a unique restaurant... inside a restored 1888 stone church. They kept the original stained glass windows, the choir loft & the confessional booth making this one of the most interesting restaurants. The dining area was cozy - not many tables & chairs. Our table was too small for four adults with bread, apps & dinner plates. However, our server was great, very attentive. Always near to clear plates, friendly & fast service. We started with bread & Italian salsa. The bread was good but the salsa was even better. It was fantastic & full of flavor. Next, for apps we had the Meatballs & Fried Calamari. The meatballs needed more seasoning & the sauce was bland. The calamari was rubbery & chewy. The Lemon Aioli that came with it was tasty. Our entrees were the Chicken Parm & the Crab Stuffed Shrimp with Linguine & Sauce. The portion sizes were big. The chicken was prepared nicely & was tender. The sauce unfortunately was bland. Same with the shrimp dish, it needed more seasoning, I didn't taste the crab & the lemon butter sauce had too much garlic for me. Perhaps our meal was a one off. Their menu is extensive & I will give them another try...the Lobster Ravioli sounds good. Note, on the other side of the restaurant is a pizzeria, called Slice Works, with a dining room & outdoor patio. I will try this as well.

Visited Paravicini's while on vacation from NC to CO. The reviews looked inviting so paid a visit…read moreon my birthday. In a word...amazing!! We had taken reviewers advice to make reservations, which proved invaluable, as the place was packed..on a Monday at 6pm. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server. I had mentioned on our reservation we were celebrating a birthday, and I think every member of the front end wished me Happy Birthday at least once! Overall, service throughout was impeccable! I am a huge fan of Chicken Parm, and have struggled over the years to find a version that compares to my favorite Italian eatery in NYC...pounded super thin with crispy breading and nearly overflowing the plate. I have found a new favorite, and confess I couldn't finish it. My wife had the Chicken Valeria which also was outstanding. Entrees come with a side salad...House or Caesar for a small upcharge. Both fresh and plentiful. After the mains, we had no room for dessert..as usual, but we were surprised with a pistachio cannoli for the birthday boy and it was easily one of the best cannoli we have enjoyed...even across may travels to Italy and NY. Overall an awesome dining and birthday experience, and probably good it's not in my hometown in NC as I would likely get in trouble! Five plus stars!!

This one's kind of hard for a variety of reasons - I loved the atmosphere & the service here. Top…read morenotch!! The food in the other hand, not so much. It really left a lot to be desired the sauce was extremely heavy and very very acidic - I know I know it's marinara however as an Italian, I know there are ways around both of these things. We started with the squash blossoms as an appetizer which I was over the moon about & then they came to the table and they were cooked in a thick batter & had that heavy marinara on them which anyone who knows about squash blossoms knows they are very delicate and they require a delicate preparation with a thin batter and a very light sauce to not overpower the soft delicate flavor So they came out pretty much ruined. A much better option would've been a lemon herb aioli or a honey-lime drizzle Same with the beautiful mozzarella sticks drowned in that sauce - so beautifully crispy on one side & soggy & ruined on the other (put the sauce on the side as a rule!) Hubby enjoyed his veal pasta. My pasta was very overcooked - I'm an al dente person, & my daughter's gnocchi was literally swimming in alfredo sauce. Not the worst by far but definitely needs fine tuning especially at the price point.

That being said, we will likely be back at some point.

He was very attentive and didn't bat an eye when 13 women each wanted their own check and even took some group pictures for us which was really thoughtful. The chicken enchiladas here are amazing!

I suppose they assume paying customers are stupid like when you order a large margarita and it's a small. They return the exact same drink but this time with much more ice to appear larger. While we are on the subject of margs....definitely THE worst marg I've ever tried to consume and you'll be sick the next day if you drink more than a few sips due to all the crap and sugar that is added. The restaurant itself is dirty, they don't care to even clean the outside, can't imagine what the kitchen looks like. This place needs a health inspection!
