Catalina Restaurants

[blue steal]

Heading over to Catalina to dive the park and will be staying overnight a few times as well as a few day trips.
We have only eaten at the dock side cafe/pedros bar for their lunch/drinks.
Does anyone have any thoughts and advice on some other restaurants for dinner?
Thanks ahead of time.

Armstrongs, Steves, and I like Mi Casita...not everybody does :cool2:.

Thanks for the three. No Mexican food for the wife so mi casita is a no go.
Heard Armstrongs is closing down this fall. How was the food here?

 

[Divebum Don]

That's a shame if Armstrong's closes, great Food, good portions, great variety (heavy on the Sea Food). Steves is great too, not as much variety, get a seat "on the windows". I'm sure both their menus are online. Antonio's is also fun, good, casual, good variety.

Steve's for steak, Armstrong's for the steamed littleneck clams.

Anyone been to the lobster trap?

 

[Divebum Don]

I think "Lob Trap" is where "Flips" used to be? Heard good things but never been in there. If they're makin' it to the 2 Yr. mark they're prolly pretty good. Locals have to like you and eat there for you to survive the off season. As well others come and go...explore a little:cool2:, an' report back please. Oh, and I've been reminded I like 4 things basically at "Mi Casita", Huge Margaritas, good chips and salsa, Chorizo con Queso with Guac, YUM!

Well if Mi Casita has good margaritas with chips and salsa, that would be nice.
Ever tried Pedros at dockside cafe.

Lobster Trap is very good... as is Steve's, Armstrongs... and Antonio's for us budget minded folks.

Thanks Dr. Bill. I think it will be either Armstrongs or Lobster Trap as my non diving wife wants seafood.
