Callie represents Chef Travis Swikard's debut solo project after spending a decade working alongside the esteemed Chef Daniel Boulud in New York City. The restaurant’s name, "Callie," comes from the Greek word "kallos," meaning "the most beautiful," and embodies its blend of Mediterranean cuisine with local ingredients and terroir, from sea to land from San Diego, Swikard's hometown. In 2022, Callie was acclaimed as one of America's top new restaurants by Esquire and Robb Report, and received both a Bib Gourmand and a Plate from the Michelin Guide. Callie is a dedicated supporter of Feeding San Diego, having contributed over 1 million meals to those in need in San Diego since its launch. Swikard is set to open his second restaurant in La Jolla in 2025.

My Nonna's name was Isola, a wonderful cook who gave me a passion for food and fresh, simple ingredients.I have vivid memories of my grandmother turning plain bread into amazing desserts, simple apples into incredible fritters sprinkled with a little sugar and honey, and even treating my sunburns with olive oil. Thirty years later, I still savor every meal and moment.Isola is proud to serve the finest local ingredients, dalla vite, from the vine. I hope you enjoy every bite, plucked from my family tree for your table. Buon appetito!

    Excellent food and service from all the staff and especially Olivia. Great values on the happy hour menu. The featured champagne, RH Coutier, Grand Cru Ambonay, Champagne was outstanding and definitely worth the modest price. We started with the Burgundy escargot which were large, delicious and especially flavorful as was the onion soup gratinee.  Next we had a half Frenchie dip in which the beef was very tender and flavorful and enhanced by the au jus, but the baguette is definitely the star of this sandwich. Finally, we ended with the crème brûlée- perfectly prepared and an excellent end to our meal. Love the table side coat stands and the notebook with the cheque- an unexpected and surprising touch. When I’m on Coronado Island again this is definitely a repeat.

    Both food and drink were outstanding. The showmanship involved in the presentation of the Night Shift drink was a sight to behold. The service was top notch. Everything we ordered was delicious - recommend the ribeye, creamed corn, lobster pappardelle. Highly recommend!
