   Went for restaurant week. The food selections were great and the quality and service excellent. We did find the wine and beer prices to be high compared to many other comparable restaurants on the east end.

   The food was very bland and unseasoned. The beets were very simple and lacked seasoning, the octopus was bland and overly chewy and unrefined. The food was disappointing. The atmosphere and decor were great.

   We arrived just before six on a recent Friday so we could start with a dozen dollar oysters and drinks at the bar before moving into the main dining room for dinner. Oysters were terrific and we enjoyed our Mezcal Margaritas, too. For dinner we order a plate of their delicious calamari with two sauces...a spicy tomato-based sauce and tzatziki. Great choice. We also shared three Mezze starters: Melatzani (similar to Eggplant Baba Ganooj), Artichoke Labneh, and Hummus...all quite tasty. Our dessert was the only disappointment...soggy Baklavah...clearly leftover way longer than it should have been. Still, we enjoyed the entire evening and had a great server and lovely host. Recommend, for sure.

    Food is always good but the service was below par. We received other people’s food a few times. Runners didn’t have a clue as to who ordered what, no apologies for wrong deliveries. This could be a special place but the service was not good.

    CalissaResponded on January 9, 2023Thank you so much for your honest review, Dianne. We take great pride in having a well-trained staff and we apologize that our service fell short during your recent dine. We have shared your feedback with the management team to ensure quality service to all of our guests. We hope you will give us another opportunity to impress you.

    Calissa has a lot of potential. The bar has a lovely selection of bourbons but they did not have a variety with regards to wine. I had the stuffed calamari as an appetizer, steak with roasted potatoes as an entree and the lemon tart for dessert. The stuffed calamari was not a favorite of mine. It was very bland. The steak and roasted potatoes were pretty good. The steak was cooked to perfection (medium). The lemon tart was very refreshing and the highlight of my meal. Other members of the dining party had the lamb skewers which they all stated were good. No one classified their meal as excellent and we were a little disappointed with the serving sizes. The ambience was very nice. The service was slow but did not impact our time.

    Calissa is a beautiful restaurant. You almost feel that you’re in Greece. The service was exceptional. We felt very taken care of. We started with the roasted beet salad and the zucchini chips, both of which were delicious. I had the lamb shank and my husband had the moussaka and we were happy with our choices. I look forward to returning and trying some other menu items. All in all, a lovely dining experience.

    Amazing dinner, as always. Stopped by tonight on our way home and am so glad we did. New fall menu was a surprise and the new dishes were delightful. It is rare for a restaurant to be cozy and intimate and also have the capacity to be an eventful night out (more so on weekends now that summer is over). Manager, Dara, told us about their upcoming Halloween party and we can’t wait to attend next week.

    CalissaResponded on October 25, 2022Aww, you’re making us blush. Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to share about your experience with us! We're so happy you were able to stop by and taste our Fall menu :). We can't wait to host you for Halloween! l

    Service was strange and uncomfortable. Food was just ok. They started clearing the entire restaurant of tables & chairs before we even finished eating. Just in front of our faces, dismantled the entire restaurant. We weren’t even offered coffee or desert at the end of the meal. Just check & get out. Never been treated so rudely. My guests and I were laughing, mostly out of shock. For the amount of money we spent, I would much rather go somewhere else. Sad because the place itself has a lot of potential. Nothing Greek or fabulous about how this is being run. Won’t be back

    Really disappointing to say the least. Outdoor patio was closed in spite of having accepted our request for outdoor in advance that made no mention of it only being open on the weekends. Food was mediocre to good. Rare tuna ordered came well done. Service was well intentioned but uneven-waiter had trouble explaining whether the fish someone wanted came with the preparation on the menu-it did not. Very expensive-few less expensive options. NO coffee. NO ice cream. Really? We will not be back.

    Excellent Mediterranean seafood restaurant. The grilled Bronzino for two was an excellent entree.overall the food was very good and our waiter was terrific. The grilled octopus, mezzo, tuna tartar, zucchini chips Ann fried calamari were all very good starters. Lots of celebrations taking place so make sure you reserve early.

    The restaurant is huge, and noisy beyond any level of conversation. Most of the restaurant dining parties are bachelorette groups out to have a festive tube before they go to the clubs. The memes were flavorful but the entrees were mediocre and expensive.
