Happy Saturday to you too!!!

I ate at Catal about 4 years ago, and it was DELICOUS. I don't remember what
everyone ate, but I had a burger and fries (which my parents weren't too keen on because I could have gotten a burger anywhere). It happened to be AWESOME !!! I was underage at the time, so I couldn't drink wine, but on another thread about Catal, someone had stated that they recommend specific wines for the food offered on the menu. Its really nice I hear.
 
Hey wazoskiLover!:goodvibes

Can You direct me to that post You mentioned? I would really appreciate it.

Have a Great Weekend!princess:
 
You know, I remember posting on that thread with my fiancee's account a while back. I looked, and it dropped :( Sorry !!
 

That's okay! Thanks for the review.

Take Good Care!:goodvibes
 
Never ate there, but have eaten at another Joachim Spichal restaurant (Patina) many years ago. He is one of LA's top chefs and everything I've read about Catal makes me think it is way up there.
