Food is average and likely won’t visit again. Cute spot that’s on the water but that’s about it. Live music can get pretty loud so if you’re looking to chat during dinner, be prepared to be yelling at one another to hear.

Visiting in from out of town. Bartender advised us to sit anywhere and server will greet us shortly. My mother and I waited 10 minutes before we got greeted, watching the other tables that came in AFTER us get their drinks. I flagged down a server and she said someone forgot about us and she would be happy to help. Our “new” server barely checked in on us, sat with empty drinks for 10-15 minutes at a time, she forgot to put in one of our appetizers. We were going to order entrees but decided to leave a go elsewhere. The next spot we went to was attentive and on top of it with service! I will never come back here to calypso

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant on the beach. Service was superb. My creamy crab soup and crab cake sandwich were delicious. The ambiance was great with live music that played the best oldies.

They did not recognize nor did the restaurant honor my open table reservation. Even when I showed it to them in the app, they said sorry we don't recognize and we cannot honor the reservation.

It’s. Beach bar and grill, food and drinks are decent service was decent and pleasant, apparently a reservation doesn’t exactly mean anything though, hostess said yeah I see you have a reservation, but we already set all the tables so it’s gonna be a little bit. You can sit at the bar. 🙄 OK not that I mind sitting in a bar. Wait wasn’t all that bad maybe 25 minutes

It took forever to get our food. It took forever to get our drinks. Our kids burger was raw. The shrimp tacos just look like frozen fried shrimp with green pesto from a can on top. Our server was very nice. She was probably the only good thing about that experience. Totally not worth the money.

Pleasant experience. Place was fairly empty. Our server was friendly and efficient. We were told that they do not take reservations but recommended on the weekends if they do honor it.

Calypso was a fine place to go for lunch. Delicious food and drinks were offered especially the she-crab soup and tacos. Our Server was attentive but the food took forever to be served. Nice atmosphere of the beachfront.
