    Not a good experience at all. Several food items and beverages on the menu were not available. The server had very poor skills, including not knowing how to use a corkscrew. One of our entrees was completely forgotten, but had not been removed from the bill when we received it. We would not go back and would not recommend it to others.

    When we arrived they did not have our Open Table reservations. We sat for an hour and fifteen minutes and our food had not arrived. We had a concert to attend at 8:00 so we had to go. The menu was inviting but the kitchen was really messed up that night for sure.

    This was a good Caribbean restaurant, but it appears they've gone out of business.

    The food was not what we thought it was going to be, it seems that we are not Caribbean food eaters. Hope this does not discourage anyone else from trying it. The drinks were wonderful.

    First of all, Calabash is a great dining idea, well located, and our waitress was super friendly and helpful! That being said, maybe it was an off night, but the food did not meet our expectations, sorry to say as we had hoped to really enjoy the vibe and some good eats! The mofongo was tasteless, and the plantain chip tostones way over salty. My seafood loving friend only ate 1 of her 2 shrimp kebab special, did not specify why she did not like it. My pulled pork was fine, just not special. The drinks did not offer a particularly island punch, even tho they sound good on the bar menu: Get a bartender!!!
