Catal Restaurant & Uva Bar

Smal portion on a large plate just like that commercial. 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.…

Upscale yet casual Mediterranean-inspired dining in the heart of Downtown Disney.. 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.…

Mediocre food. We ate on the outside patio area for dinner on a Saturday night. The outside patio area has an abbreviated menu. We ordered the marinated grapes, buffalo style chicken wings, and the turkey sandwich. My g/f and I both agreed the food was very mediocre especially considering the price. We are locals, and get the feeling the only way this place survives with such average food is because most customers are probably one-time customer tourists. Service was decent. Drinks were good. Unless you are just stopping in for a few drinks I wouldn't recommend going here. You are likely to be disappointed.…

Sit in the Balcony. Not bad. Food was good and appetizing. Portions was just enough for me, but may not be for a big eater. Fair menu selection. The appetizer was interesting, but the Creme Brulee was very savory and delicious. Indoor ambience was modern. If it's nice outside, request for a table in the balcony. It's a great place to people watch. Although the service could be improved considering the money you put in. Our drinks kept coming but our server came by a couple times. Should check-up on us more frequently, don't you think?…
