Catalina Kitchen is a beautiful restaurant located at Terranea in Palos Verdes with excellent food and amazing service. The seafood buffet on Friday nights is a great time to visit with lots of great choice and the food is all very fresh and high quality. The buffet featured crab legs, claws, shrimp, sushi, 3 or 4 cuts of beef, and a wide selection of hot and cold dishes from risotto to scampi, chicken, salmon, and it goes on. Catalina Kitchen staff was very attentive and helpful.. the service was really top notch. They offer convenient valet parking and special menus and buffets so check the schedule for special events. The resort is in the most incredible location with waves crashing the the rocky cliffs, endless trails and breathtaking views there is so much to do and see beyond the restaurants. Overall Catalina was a great experience and highly recommended.

If you go here on Saturday morning, you can enjoy both a buffet and a brunch menu. The buffet includes steak, which is quite good! The fruits are very fresh too. Highly recommend trying their weekend brunch!

Plenty of heater-lamps and fire pits on this brisk evening. Heather and Miles along with their support staff were perfectly attentive. Dishes were served adequately spaced for an un-rushed experience. The Parmesan crusted asparagus appetizer was double the portion I was expecting. Light and crispy exterior and delicious all around. I recommend the bone-in ribeye. It came with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. A nice variety of desserts available and the three we had were all delicious in their own right. This was my fourth time at this restaurant and I’m looking forward to my next visit already.

I’m very grateful to Catalina Kitchen for their delicious food, outstanding service, and professionalism. They tailored the orders exactly to our requests and even prepared low-salt options for my elderly father, which meant so much to us. Mr. Jerry Bullock truly made our experience unforgettable. Thank you, Mr. Bullock, the chef, and the entire amazing team.

Lovely, overlooking the ocean with views out to Catalina. Delicious Chilean sea bass – buttery, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Generous portion of tuna tartare. Good cocktails. Good prices, too

For seafood lovers, the Friday Seafood Extravaganza at catalina kitchen at Terrenea may be a good way to spend an evening eating all the sushi, crab legs, scallops, and poke you’d like. Came here with my family during a staycation and made a reservation in advance. It’s $85 per person and you can charge it to the room if you’re staying at the property or with credit card. Indoor and outdoor dining available. There is a kid’s buffet area with wings, pizza, mac & cheese, etc. as well as meat options (ie prime rib, tomahawk, Mary’s chicken). The dessert bar was well stocked and they have ice creams as well. The mango sorbet was the surprise hit of the night and my family went back for seconds (and thirds). It is good for large parties as well as for special occasions, though many people were dressed casually. Overall, this was a spot to go to if you’re hungry and looking to eat at a fancier buffet.
