Knowing origin of the chef, pasta offerings including veal scallopini would be welcome. Ordered pasta special: linguine with calamari. Very disappointing. Marina sauce overpowering, calamari very "chewy" and pasta served in a blob. Guests enjoyed salmon entree. Salads and desserts excellent. Service excellent.

Dear Gerald, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. While we’re pleased to know that your guests enjoyed the salmon entrée, as well as the salads, desserts, and service, we’re sorry to hear that the pasta special did not meet your expectations.

This was my third less than satisfactory experience at Callisto. I thought with a new chef and a new menu things might be different. I took my husband for a Fathers Day treat. For starters the salad we ordered had brown lettuce in it which they replaced with a new salad. I ordered a tenderloin steak medium well, it came well done, but tender, Buried underneath my steak were three spears of overcooked asparagus. They had the consistency of a spaghetti noodle. The broccoli spears were yellow on top indicating they were over their best before date and were so hard, they were difficult to cut, never mind eat. The stock of the broccoli was hollow so it was pretty old. My hubby ordered the special lasagna. He said it was okay but warm, not hot. They did offer us dessert but it hardly made up for the rest. Very disappointing. We won’t be back again which is unfortunate as it’s in a lovely setting.

Had a terrific dinner here Friday night. The new menu is outstanding. All of our party really enjoyed their meals. Spot prawns are in season and one of the specials was Spot Prawns cooked and flambé at table by the chef served over a bed of black rice. Delicious!! My husband requested a special Italian dish and he was happily accommodated. Oh and the desserts were equally amazing. Can’t wait to go back.
CallistoResponded on June 9, 2025
Dear Carla, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a terrific dinner and that the new menu left such a great impression. The spot prawns flambéed tableside have certainly been a favourite this season, and we’re so pleased your husband’s special request was happily accommodated. Your kind words about the desserts are the cherry on top—our culinary team will be delighted to hear your feedback. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another memorable dining experience!

Not an awesome experience. Starts with the setting...seated adjacent to the lobby bar where guests were loudly enjoying themselves. Given the layout it's understandable that this can happen. As for the food, the highlight was definitely the meatball appies. Otherwise, 2 colleagues had steaks that were both over done vs. instructed (which is odd given they slice the steak for you!), and my beef tagliatele was fairly bland (never usually have to add salt at a restaurant!), and the meat was strangely mushy. For the price I wish we'd uber'ed downtown to find a better option.
CallistoResponded on May 21, 2025
Dear Garth, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your recent dining experience did not meet expectations. While we're glad you enjoyed our Meatballs dish and received attentive service, we regret that the overall experience—particularly the ambience and main courses—fell short. Your comments on the noise level and preparation of the steaks and pasta have been shared with our culinary and service teams. Feedback like yours helps us improve and maintain the quality our guests expect. We appreciate your input and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more enjoyable visit. Warm regards, Bipin Bhatt Director of Food & Beverage

Our waitress was such a trooper. There were 8 of us and a lot going on for Mother’s Day. She absolutely did the best she could. However the men got served first and then women got served sporadically and then the food was cold but it was still decent. We had to get our own water. Food took forever. Waitress was apologizing I felt bad for her she was working so hard. I just think they should have had more staff and been more organized Esp for Mother’s Day but at the end of the day it’s a first world problem.
