    Everything was good. We didn’t like our table, they were nice in changing our table. My burger was well done instead of medium and it was changed to medium and it was very yummy. Our server was super nice.

    Ricky made our experience at Calabra truly unforgettable! From the moment we sat down, his friendly and genuine demeanor gave us a warm, local vibe that made us feel right at home. He went above and beyond by recommending incredible cocktails tailored to our preferences and even crafting them to perfection himself. Ricky's smile never left his face, and his generous attention to detail elevated our dining experience. Combine his stellar service with Calabra's amazing Mediterranean food, and it was an evening to remember. Thank you, Ricky - you're a gem!

    Excellent food and service. We were seated at a low lounge type table. There are real tables available and a restaurant this good deserves sitting at a real table.

    we dined here 2 weeks ago and enjoyed it despite the cost of the meal. We came back for the burger and lamp chops. Was sad to see the lamb chops for 2 were not on the menu this evening. We order the lamb shank ($90 for the plate). It was tasty but truly not worth the cost. I would not order that again. The appetizers were good but all kind of price. I understand that the location and the place is quite popular at the moment. Sure would like to see the prices restrained.
