Editorial Review for Catal Restaurant and Uva Bar – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
With its mock-ups of pastoral seaside scenes, semi-surrealistic paintings of a fisherman's catch and kid-pleasing menu, Catal is Mediterranean dining with Disney sensibilities. Appetizers include marinated olives or arugula salad with stewed dates and manchego slivers. Traditional entrees include braised Moroccan-spiced lamb and paella a la Valenciana with seafood, chicken and chorizo. The downstairs wine bar, more reminiscent of Napa Valley than the Mediterranean, offers 40 wines by the glass and tapas, sandwiches and salads.

This was our first time at this restaurant located in Downtown Disney. Since it was at Disney, we had very low expectations. We ordered the duck and fish for dinner. Service was very nice and friendly. The food in general was tasty, warm and prompt. Compared to other restaurant of this scale, it seems overpriced based on the quantity served. I thought that the fish portion was very small for a Patina group restaurant. It is like that Citibank commercial with a large plate with a fluff garnish. My dish was served on a very large square plate with a single long grilled onion on top of the fish and some type of corn ragout. Also, it seems that what I got did not look like the description on the menu. Would we go back? Most likely not unless the give us a free meal. If you like duck and fish, try Sage at Newport.
Pros: No line if arrive on early bird hour
Cons: Large plate small portion

I had a horrible experience at this restaurant. I asked for a lemonade and when the waiter brought it there was a hair in it. He apologized and brought me a new one, I decided to let it go. Then, when they brought my steak there was a hair on that!!!! The waiter was apologetic and took it away, the manager then came over with the plate and asked where it was - as if she didn't believe me! The steak was uneaten and I told them not to bring me anything else. When they brought the bill they made a point of saying they didnt charge me for the steak or the lemonade - as if they were doing me a favor!! I didn't even eat anything!! I will NEVER eat there again and I will NEVER recommend this place to anyone.
