   While food was good overall some dishes were overpriced. For example a dessert of Greek cookies had six small pieces for $22. A side of roasted vegetables had 7 small pieces for $25. A side of Greek fries, which were basically McDonald’s style with a few olives on top was $12. Waitstaff was very. Ice and attentive.

   They served Duvel beer in a short water glass instead of a beer glass or a Duvel glass like in any other decent restaurant.]. First time ever that happens to me and for $16... However food was good, great portions and quick service. Check the bill because they include 18% service, labeled as an administration fee.

   Chicken souvlaki was dry as was the swordfish. Automatic 18% upcharge regardless of service is a turnoff.

    I came to calissa a few summer ago. Had a reservation and arrived on time. Walked in, wanted to tel hostess we were there for our res. Couldn't get past the people in front. Didn't want to be rude or push our way to front. After awhile, finally got to hostess and were told, "be patient sir, we'll be with you in a Moment." As (what appeared to be regular) customers strolled in, we're given immediate attention and whisked to their tables. This went on for 15-18 minutes after which I had enough and left... Never to return... until last night. Had a nice meal and nice experience. A bit pricey but then again everything is. Food was good. Service decent. Vibe great. Nice crowd. Obnoxiousness and entitlement level low to medium... glad we arrived early. Watermelon salad was phenomenal. Tuna good. Baklava good. Bartenders super nice but had no interest in anything but taking orders. I love Greek and Mediterranean food and nothing beats Elaia in Bridgehampton. Sorry, just being honest.

    The food was good, service was good but they sat us on top of another family with small kids and when I asked to move they said the table I wanted to move to was for 5… so we sat in a less than desirable spot only to watch a table of 4 sit at the table we requested.

    Coming from a family of restauranteurs of Greek descent I couldn’t believe how unauthentic all the food we selected was. The Lemon potatoes were not lemon potatoes, the halumi was a dessert? The fish was frozen? The Horta was not real Horta? My wife was hoping to have those amazing Greek lemon potatoes too!! Just disappointing. Please go elsewhere if you want Greek food. This clearly was not a Greek restaurant let alone how good the food really is on Mikonos or in Greece or in other more reputable Greek restaurants on Long Island. I couldn’t believe the prices as well. Please go elsewhere.

    Ambiance and food was great. The server, upon bringing the check, wanted us to leave and repeatedly stated that he needed the table for dinner, despite us asking for the menu to reorder drinks and food fare to accommodate that, and despite the table that was seated next us with 4 women who hardly received his services (they sat for 45 mins and he never took their order but tapped us 3 times within that timeframe to leave). We were orderly and had come to make friends fast with a few of the women there, who came to sit with us from time to time. When we finally departed, I let him know that his actions were frankly unacceptable and quite unprofessional. It was appalling altogether and his demeanor, hypocrisy and actions took away from the fine time we were having at the establishment. James the DJ and co-owner had even asked that we stick around so rather than patron another business, we wished to continue on there and start afresh. This server will not be the reason I don’t return- he was merely a lone wolf in a field of dandelions- and I look forward to another dinner night at the wonderful Calissa and its staff that did embrace us.

    Had a great time! Sat on the patio for a larger-group dinner of 8 and it was overall a great experience. It was busy and lively. The food was great. Had a minor issue with ordering a dish that was indicated as dairy-free but came cooked in butter, but the team addressed it and brought a new one quickly. Drinks were great, food was great overall, and the ambience is always great. Will continue coming back.

    Had a reservation for 5. We were taken outside to the farthest table from the restaurant possible (even though there were many empty large party tables closer to the main building), facing the field where the car valet parks cars. We also had a clear view of the Portapotties, whose doors kept swinging open from the wind. Sorry, I expect more from a place like this. The waiters were indifferent (because 18% is included), the portions on some of the appetizers were obscenely small (4 bites of octopus), but the only thing that saves them is that the food is very tasty. We just returned from Greece, and if it’s authentic Greek you’re looking for, this is not the place - it’s an IG photo moment for most of the people there it seems.

    We went to Calissa because the Gypsy Kings were performing. There was a $100 cover charge that included food and beverage. The food was some of the worst I've had in my life!! How this place stays in business is beyond me. My husband and I ordered the brozino for two ($110) it didn’t come with any sides so we ordered lemon potatoes, and horta, if you've been to other Greek restaurants these are staples on the menu. The bronzino was NOT bronzino, it was half of a filet that took up a whole platter, bronzino is a small fish that is served whole, my only guess is that this was some GMO farmed fish, absolutely disgusting.! The lemon potatoes were even worse, they were deep fried fingerling potatoes that were crammed in a small plate, they had no flavor same with the horta. The service was not what you would expect at a restaurant that charges these prices, our waiter looked like he was not interested in being there he had no knowledge of the menu and overall seemed disinterested. The only thing that we enjoyed was the music and the wine we ordered.

    Calissa is a trendy upscale Greek restaurant. The outdoor dining area is decorated in true Hamptons style with white cushioned seating along the back tables and string lights. We saw Gypsy Kings which were great. The food is very good as is the service. It is very pricey though. For example- my dinner was a steak skewer with a few pita sections for 48.00. Dessert cookie platter was 22.00 for 8 tiny cookies. Portions are small.

    Love the food and outdoor ambiance but this visit was on a Friday night when the restaurant hosts a charity event. As a result at a certain point bouncers was stationed and we were not allowed to pass or use the bathrooms. Also got very noisy and a bit unpleasant outside. Not what we expected at a high end restaurant.

    We showed up with a reservation but still needed to wait 10 minutes for a table. When we sat down in a half empty outside area we are told we had to order still or sparkling water because their tap water wasn’t safe to drink. When we asked how it would still be safe to eat any of their food if their tap water wasn’t safe we were told it was fine for food but not safe to drink. Our party assumed they just wanted us to order bottled water because it was better then the alternative but I guess anything is possible. The zucchini chips were good but everything else was bland at best. No one in our party plans to return. Too bad, the space has such potential.

    Place is filthy! Bathrooms filthy! Price way toooo high and added 18% tip to total for everyone who works there. No good! Don’t waste your money.

    CalissaResponded on July 20, 2022No, that is not accurate. We left a gratuity based system (where servers are paid less than minimum wage and compensation is left to the beneficence of the guest). An anomaly in the workplace with a fairly sinister history. In 2020, we felt we could not ask people to work under that system and and paid full/robust wages and via an 18% surcharge on the check (less than the standard 20%) and communicated the policy to the guests. It is increasingly common across the country.
