    Had their Thanksgiving Buffet. The carving section was really good & tasty. Unfortunately, the rest of it wasn't that good. That's the problem with a buffet - things sit out for a while and get dry, or old, or mushy.

    Worst dining experience in many many years. Web site was not clear that only a buffet was going to be available for $125 per person without cocktails or wine. Food offering was unattractive and picked over. Music so loud that couldn't hear a conversation . A dog at one table being hand fed by owner that didn't appear to a sevice animal. Very unpleasant evening and a surprised $250 bill.

    EVERYTHING was extremely PERFECT! Since the moment that we arrived, our hostess was lovely, our server was attentive, and he is very knowledge. The manager of the restaurant Janell also came to our table to check on us and to congratulated us for our anniversary! Food was DELICIOUS. We cannot wait to go back anytime soon! Highly recommend!

    The food was excellent. However, we definitely did not appreciate the unexpected, mandatory 20% service fee that was added to our bill. This was not the server’s tip. It was part tip for him but mainly a payment for additional service staff. Our waiter needed to be tipped additionally. In our case, this fee was an additional $40+. We will not be going back.

    The dining area is very pretty in an open-air room with lovely greenery and trees. The staff is very professional and nice, the crafted cocktails delicious, and the food pretty good (depending on what you order). We enjoyed the rum chicken and pasta dishes, although the hummus appetizer was lacking flavor.

    I ate here quite a bit during our weekend stay at the associated hotel (which is lovely if not inexpensive). The meals were very nice & food was good. They got quite overwhelmed during brunch, which was our final meal with them & this is what brings down our rating. We ordered an entree for each of us & asked to add a french toast for desert. They brought the french toast instead of my son's entree. Since we thought his entree was coming, we asked them to keep the french toast warm & bring his entree. The original waiter returned and we explained the issue. We waited 20 minutes with no entree for my 12 yr old son. We should have kept the french toast & had him eat that, but since that was no longer available, he ate half of both my husband and my entrees prior to his entree arriving. Then they brought the french toast, which, at that point, we no longer wanted. We paid the bill and the included 20% gratuity and left. It was not a great interaction, but not wanting to disrupt an otherwise pleasant weekend, we let it go.

    We were staying at Baker’s Cay Resort and booked this restaurant for a special evening based on a friend’s previous good experiences. She was with us and said this did not live up to her memory. Firstly, you go for the beautiful sunset view which is spectacular. The hostess Marcia, was very nice and flexible with us. Once seated we waited at least 15 minutes to have our drinks order taken. The restaurant was not crowded. Our server was nice. Whipped ricotta was delicious. Oysters were borderline so we only ate half. We ordered entrees (there’s an unnecessary “glaze” on at least half of the entree items) but, then our server returned to tell us they were out of scallops (menu item; not a special) and the chicken. It was 7:15… who runs out of chicken? One guest had the shrimp and lobster pasta that she loved. The snapper was good but average and my short ribs were good except for the overly sweet glaze. Staff is nice, food was okay, view is spectacular… they could use an hospitality consultation to get it up to par, but, I would eat here again if staying on property.

    We were not staying in the hotel, but decided to go for a birthday dinner. Absolutely blown away from start to finish. A hidden gem. The entry through the hotel and lobby to the restaurant was breathtaking. Every seat on the patio had the most beautiful view of the sunset. The ambiance was upscale keys casual. The food was exceptional and customizable - from the details on the plate to the fresh ingredients to the taste. The meal was coursed out which I love to make the whole evening and experience. A long wine list with lots of options and full bar. The cocktails were very STRONG but very good. Our waiter Justin was fantastic - attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu. I will definitely go back!!

    I’ve eaten at this restaurant five times before and it was always much more quiet. The resort this weekend was filled with more kids than I’ve ever seen here and the dining room reflected that noise. The food itself is good and the servers are very nice. I just wish people would understand that in a very beautiful restaurant we really don’t want to hear. They’re screaming babies and see their toddler is running around everywhere.

    We have eaten at Calusa many times over the years and always enjoy the food. We went recently and the noise level was very high. We were not greeted by our server even to ask for drinks for over 20 minutes and he was very rude. He took our order for everything since we did not want to risk him not coming back again and they brought everything (including appetizers) at one time. The waiter may have come back one more time during our dinner. The food was good but it is very expensive and you would definitely expect a better overall experience for the price. We stay at this hotel quite often but will definitely rethink coming to Calusa in the future.

    Beautiful location and sunset views! We ordered several plates which were very good especially the filet and cowboy steak. The appetizers we ordered were just average Fish dip, Tuna tower both disappointed but loved the Brussels. Dessert was good as well Nice touch from the staff they passed out sparkling rose as a treat ! Service was very good considering they were extremely busy. We will definitely be returning and visiting the downstairs bar before dinner One recommendation the couch style bench seat at the table is very low luckily we had throw pillows to sit on to bring us up to table level.

    My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner experience here. Virginia was excellent & helped make our evening special. We highly recommend the fresh snapper; the whole escoviche preparation and sautéed yellowtail were awesome! Calusa offers a great wine selection and the black molasses old fashioned with apple smoke was to die for. Dining on the patio covered overlooking the natural hammock and bay at sunset was lovely or you can opt to eat indoors.

    Justin was our waiter and he took the time to chat when we asked him for his recommendations and they did not disappoint! Calamari and grilled shrimp were perfect. Yellowtail snapper and lobster pasta was very tasty. The view is unbeatable and it helps that the cool AC air from inside flows to the outside a bit. Justin was excellent and made our dinner experience even better. Definitely recommend and will be back!
