The food was delicious. The staff was friendly. The prix fixe was very reasonably priced and served in generous portions. We were told that they have live Greek music on Sundays which we missed. Great place for great food at a reasonable price in the Hamptons. Not to be missed.

The food and service at Calissa are unparalleled. Love their wine list, zucchini fritters, langoustine and chicken! Their Select Spritz is a favourite and Tanya made sure we had the best time and were well taken care of along with the rest of the staff at Calissa who are a delight. The warmth, hospitality, vibes, consistently great food and drinks is something we return for year after year! If you go to one restaurant in the Hamptons make sure you stop by Calissa.

I went to Calissa’s after hearing my friends rave about how amazing it is. The service was fabulous, we literally were on a first name basis with our waiters and bartenders (shout out to Evan, you were phenomenal! I thought the food was above average, and would go back again. Plus, it was my friends birthday and they gave us cake to celebrate. Thanks for the experience!

Calissa has decent food, but nothing extraordinary. The ambiance felt a bit awkward, and the service could definitely be more attentive. We went during an early hour, so the place was pretty quiet. Overall, the food is fine and worth another try, but I’m hoping for a better experience next time.

My family and I came for Mother’s Day brunch for the first time. The food was great, but unfortunately, we ran into issues that impacted our overall experience. First, I found it strange that the whole table has to opt into the unlimited drink deal or no one can. What if someone is sober or just doesn’t want it? Then, our drink order was messed up, which ended up wasting more time and money, so it felt like we should’ve been offered the bottomless drinks to begin with. The appetizers were delicious. We ordered the crispy calamari, zucchini chips, and mezze plate. Everyone got a mix of dishes for entrees, and the gyros were definitely a hit. The shakshuka, however, was just okay, and I had to ask for the pita that was supposed to come with it. They also forgot my grandfather’s dish entirely, so he didn’t get his food until the rest of us had finished. Finally, they brought us the bill without asking if we wanted dessert, which made us feel rushed. I understand it was Mother’s Day, but the service was not up to par. I’d recommend this place for the food, but just be aware that the prices are a bit high for the portion sizes, which we expected, but better service would have made the experience feel more worth it.

The best meal I had in the Hampton this trip! The food had generous portions and great flavor, the waiters were incredible, the setting was great… I loved the lamb chops which were perfectly juicy!!

The atmosphere and the drinks were the best part of the night. We went during off season. Therefore, we escaped the crowd. The food was flavorful. I still prefer the city for multicultural food, but this is what they had. I would go back if I'm in the Hamptons.

Calissa offers a delightful dining experience with its cozy ambiance and friendly, attentive service.. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between casual and refined, making it ideal for a relaxed yet elevated meal. Both the salmon and grilled pork chop stood out--cooked to perfection at the right temperature. The salmon came exact medium rare with crispy skin, and the grilled pork chop was juicy. Both dishes were simple in their preparation but packed with flavor, showcasing the restaurant's skill in letting quality ingredients shine. Overall, a lovely spot that delivers on both taste and service, making it a must-try for those craving a cozy and flavorful Greek dining experience.

Calissa Hamptons is a true find. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the friendly staff, and the atmosphere struck the perfect balance between casual and elegant--just right for a night out. The food at Calissa really shines. The Lobster Pasta was a standout, rich and satisfying, while the Tuna Crudo was incredibly fresh and delicate. The Salmon was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the Zucchini Chips? Crispy, light, and impossible to stop eating. Pair those with their dip spreads and warm pita, and you've got a winning combination. It's rare to find a place where every dish hits the mark, but Calissa managed to do just that. Whether you're a regular or it's your first visit, you're in for something special here.

This is a beautiful restaurant with a super aesthetic patio that makes you feel like you've taken a getaway to a Mediterranean country. Bar is moody and offers many different cocktails as well as an extensive wine list. Came here with a large group of girls for a bachelorette and our table was well cared for all evening long -- our glasses were never left empty and our courses were paced without feeling rushed allowing us to enjoy the ambience and the company. I highly recommend ordering the dip sampler as an appetizer and ordering either the salmon or the lamb chops. One thing I would note here is that while all the dishes tasted really good it was all a little bit bland for my taste -- however I do imagine it's due to the ingredients being really fresh and the chefs not wanting to overseason the dishes. Also would note it is a dressier spot so be sure to wear your best outfits when dining out here in the evenings.

Food came so late they turned the lights off on us. Our main dishes came 2 HOURS after we ordered. The owner refused to turn the lights on so we could eat. The food was pretty good but not worth waiting 2 hours for. The catch of the day was fillet which was nice. The pork chop was like butter. The ambiance was shit. You couldn't see a thing because they turned off all the lights. Thank God for cell phone lights. The bathrooms were disgusting. There were long waits and piss everywhere. I don't think I will be back for a while.

Excellent meal and service! The food portions for the prices were a little small in our opinion. That being said the food was delicious, especially the zucchini chips and fish which was fresh. The vibes are also so beach and cool, love the design.

Very fun Greek restaurant for a DJ dinner that starts at 1030pm! Great place to grab dinner and stay for the music and dancing. Had an outdoor DJ and indoor DJ next to the bar. On the night we went, there was a live saxophone player which I loved! Food was very good but expensive and the service was quite slow. Fresh tomatoes in the Greek salad, loved the calamari, and the branzino was light simple and delicious! Not sure if the branzino is worth the $140 market price but very happy we got to try it! also tried the kataifi, a greek/middle eastern dessert that was essentially like crispy vermicelli with nuts! also very yummy. they had ran out of the salmon entree which caused our orders to be delayed by 2 hours - the restaurant comped our entrees and branzino which was extremely generous!!

Always convivial and happily loud. We always dine outside. Our last visit was in late August. Cocktails were great, we had a few spreads and an excellent fluke crudo. We shared mains, the whole fish was excellent, as always (but maybe a little bit smaller this season), the lamb got excellent reviews. The Horta greens and lemon potatoes were delicious. It's always fun when they turn off the lights and the DJ comes on. We left a little early but managed to be the first ones on the 'dance floor'. This place is always fun, the vibe is great and the service is very friendly.

Service was fast our food was brought out in a timely manner. Our appetizers came out quickly. The zucchini chips and grilled octopus were my favorites. For dinner we got grilled branzino and a side was definitely a great dish to share between 4-5people along with our 3 appetizers. Beautiful ambiance inside and outdoors. I'm told outdoor seating has live music on certain nights.

I went here for a friend's bachelorette trip for dinner and it was great. The food was delicious and the service was very quick. I gave them 4 stars because our table was outside. Since it was raining that night, they had a tent set up which worked but it was a bit chilly and there was no music playing. So we were a bit disappointed by that, but overall this place is delicious so I would definitely come back.

We made reservations for 9 p.m., and the place was still popping. We walked in, and it's fairly dark. I observed the different areas in which people can reserve areas for events. There's a large bar area that people congregate around. I didn't see any kids, but apparently, there was a kids' menu, and it was late. The only gripe that I have with this place are the bathrooms. I have no idea why there is such a long line, but maybe there should be an extra one for the back. I have to say that the service was pretty good. For the food, we ordered a lot. The saganaki cheese, which has honey and sesame on it, was so delicious. The watermelon salad was very refreshing. Can't go wrong with crispy calamari. The grilled Octopus was good, too. For the entire table, we ordered the whole market fish, and it was big enough for the group. I was satisfied.

Amazing food, great service. A favorite during the off season especially! It's really fresh and authentic Greek. We had a great pre-fixe happy hour deal and got so much food and it was all perfect. I think they're only doing that for the off season but there's so much more to try on the main menu. A summer restaurant to keep in your rotation!

Food was good but some was lacking for the price point. I had the tuna tartare which was fresh and light. The spanakopita was decent but could have been better. The moussaka was good but a bit of a small portion. The lamb shank was a good portion but could have been a little less dry. Overall the food was good but I wouldn't go again for a great food experience. The drinks were delicious! All the cocktails were made very well and looked great. The service was fantastic. They were very attentive and checked in often. The restaurant itself was beautiful and cool spot to go for a special occasion!

What could've been a lovely dinner out was one of the most unsatisfying, overpriced and fastest meals to my memory. This restaurant has a great vibe with nice indoor/outdoor seating but that's where it kind of ended. We had the watermelon salad, fluke crudo, fava and tzatziki dips along with the zucchini chips. The watermelon salad was fresh and simple. The zucchini chips were nice with the dip that came with. The fluke was fresh but over salted and sloppily plated. The dips were small portioned and the fava dip was very bland. I had a glass of lukewarm white wine for $26 that was filled to less than half the glass and possibly from a bottle that had been opened for quite some time. The worst was the service. Our waiter was miserable. Barely making eye contact, telling us we couldn't add on food and that we had to leave for the next table before we had even ordered. It was all strange and uncomfortable but I suppose it doesn't matter to him because 20% gratuity is automatically included in the bill. We skipped getting extra drinks and dessert as we didn't feel we wanted to spend another minute or another dollar there. Please do better.

This was my first time visiting, and the food was amazing. My friends and I ordered the Bronzino for two it was so fresh and flavorful. We also got the side order of lemon potatoes and they melted it in your mouth. The flavors were so incredible. We also got the Greek salad with fresh Feta cheese and Was extremely flavorful. I'm so sorry I forgot to take pictures of my food. I was so hungry when I got there lol. The service was very attentive as well. On a sidenote, they also have live music on the weekends after 8 PM. I will definitely come and check out this place again if I'm in the area.

Holy shit! Party of 9 friends. The salads are big enough and shareable if you're into sharing. We tried quite a few dishes, and with the apps, we ended up perfectly fine splitting things. The zucchini app, lemon potatoes, and greek salad and gem lettuce. The branzino was amazing, swordfish tender, lamb chops tasty, chicken ok, and drinks delicious.

The ambiance is lovely, the service is good but none of the dishes made we want to say"wow" -I must come back! We had fried Calamari(good), eggplant dip with its pita( fair) and lamb/ beef meatballs( poor) I think that the Hamptons crowd is less fussy during the summer cause anything beats throwing a party of thirty at your house and having to hear the same stories from the same people that you've invited over for the last thirty years! Sometimes we just need a break from all that and in that case going to this place might serve its purpose!

Calissa was literally my favorite restaurant in the Hamptons this Memorial Day weekend! My friends actually went twice lol it's probably my favorite Mediterranean restaurant right now. The ambiance was chic and modern, and I believe a DJ plays house music later in the evening. The restaurant was pretty crowded, so we could tell it was the start of the Memorial Day rush. We order some really good appetizers - my favorite being the watermelon salad! It was tasty and refreshing! I need to add it to my fitness diet lol my friend and I had the lamb chops, and they were so flavorful. Our AirBNB host recommend the restaurant to us, and told us he knew the owner. Midway through our dinner, we met the owner and showed him a picture of our host. He gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne! It was awesome! I was then trying to decide how I was going to finish the 2 watermelon mojitos I ordered, and the champagne! Calissa will be my go-to in the Hamptons! Until then, happy eating!!

Cocktails and service were great. Food is bland but decent. The dining experience really just feels like a pre-party for the night club. Also, if you're above 35, prepare to be the oldest patrons there on the weekends!

If I could give a restaurant 0 stars it would be here. A terrible experience, terrible service, terrible people. My wife made a reservation for a table. We sat down and went to order apps first, we were told we can't do that. I said that's okay we're going to have a few apps and drinks. I was told we cant do that you have to order everything at once. I said that's okay we're eating apps and drinks and we'll be gone. Apparently that wasn't allowed (doesn't say that in ANY fine print). Brought over the manager who said the owner is requiring full meals/ apps etc to be seated. I asked for him to tell me because ??? Says who. He came over in the most disrespectful manner, saying we'd need to order full meals because it's a "holiday weekend". WHAT A JOKE. We were fully prepared to spend $150-200 on apps and drinks. I asked the owner if that wasn't enough money to sit here? He MADE A HUGE STINK ABOUT IT. He's like "this is how I feed my kids" are you trying to say I'm "greedy"? He walked us out over this. Made a huge stink in the whole restaurant. There were literally 12-15 EMPTY tables. What an absolute joke. Service is service and this place has none. I wouldn't spend 5 dollars here. I wouldn't spend a $1000 dollars here. NOT WORTH A DIME. Give your money to people who understand this is a service industry.

Calissa had a great atmosphere and vibe!!! It's a great place for a girls night or a bachelorette party. We had ordered tuna tartare, Greek salad, salmon, chicken slovaki, and hummus. Everything was so delicious!!! We had gone on a Friday night and there was a DJ/music and the place wasn't crazy packed, but had a decent amount of people, I'm going to assume it gets pretty busy in the summertime. I would definitely come back.

High end, modern, chic, Greek. Atmosphere was absolutely lively on a Sunday night. Service was excellent and food was delicious. Ordered from the large party menu as we were a group of 11 which was perfect and actually quite inexpensive for the quantity of food we received! Served a generous mezze platter when we sat, which was very good, especially the eggplant dip. For first course, I had the grilled octopus which was prepared very well and with nice flavors with fava bean and onion. Second, a white fish (whole) that was perfect! Last, dessert was the greek yogurt (everyone was stuffed at that point but it was quite unique). Paired my meal with a nice glass of Sancerre and casually dined without a rush. The outside dining area of the restaurant is beautiful, airy and very lively. Great for an early evening summer date, group dinner or night cap. One note: Calissa tends to be a "scene", a place to "see and be seen". We are down to earth locals who do not come here for that; we visit because we adore the food and the restaurant is a lovely place for a celebration. If this sort of thing turns you off, I would recommend reserving on the earlier part of the night or coming on the weekdays (Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the quietest out here, even in the summer). Just a note for those who do not enjoy this type of environment.

Calissa I loveeee!!!! I always come here with my friends it's so much fun and always super busy when I go. I went over memorial weekend on Saturday with a bunch of my friends, it was super busy but all the workers were so helpful and nice. It's so beautiful in the restaurant and they had us outside under the string lights with the music playing all so pretty. The food was so good we got the zucchini chips and Calamari, which were so good as well as the lamb chops were to die for. We got a bottle table by the DJ at the end of the night with this girl who was super nice had a lot of energy.

Came after hours (10pm) for a bachelorette - the food is really good we had calamari, Greek salad, lamb, tuna tar tar, branzino - there was a dJ and a private dance lounge area - wish it was closer to home - drinks are pricey but hey it's the Hamptons

We recently got married at Calissa and we had the best day ever. From the planning to the preparations, the food and service, everything was excellent. The admin staff were accommodating and the staff on-site treated us like family. Our ceremony outside was beautiful and the cocktails and apps and food kept coming! Several family told us later that we had the best wedding ever and we couldn't agree more! We thank Calissa for an amazing day!

I left a 5-star review previously, but this place has only managed to get even better! As a Hamptons local that doesn't cook, I've been to all the restaurants out east which generally range from mediocre to good-ish. By contrast, Calissa is incredible and to my mind, the best place to spend an evening in the Hamptons-gorgeous food, drinks, ambience, people, and staff. Unlike so many other places in the Hamptons which can feel like overpriced sardine cans during the summer crush, this place is so huge and well designed that even at the height of the summer it has perfect flow between indoor and outdoor space. Parking is easy and safe, there's a big, sceney bar with an adjacent dance area, the dining room is beautiful and luxe, and the outdoor patio and garden are everything that summer in the Hamptons is about. Service is great here, and partners James and Tonya are often around and treat everyone like rockstars....James also happens to be the Hamptons awesomest DJ, which gets the party started the minute you step out of your car. They have incredible regular performances by the Gipsy Kings, and apparently Wyclef Jean is performing on August 1. There's nothing snooty or snotty here, just beautiful people enjoying the best that the Hamptons has to offer. All of the food is great and fresh, but I find myself dreaming about the tuna crudo, the swordfish, and baklava. I've had quiet winter dinners, and rocking summer evenings here-in all seasons, Calissa never disappoints!

Horrible experience!!! We made reservations so we could go dancing there after. I even called but that Friday for some reason they booked a private party so we were excluded from that area. We wouldn't have gone there otherwise.

I've dined at Calissa twice, and it has not disappointed. They have a pretty extensive menu of appetizers, kebobs, fish dishes, etc. At our table, we shared the Pikilia platter (all six dips with pita), leek rice and Greek fries, and I shared the branzino for two with a friend. The standout was the branzino which was so delicious - the fish was flaky and moist and had tons of flavor. We ended up having to share it with the rest of the table because everybody enjoyed it so much. The Pikilia platter was also very tasty and also provided a lot of variety with the various dips (some more popular than others); it was too much for us four adults to eat along with our main dishes. As for our side dishes, the Greek fries were disappointing; they were fries with Feta cheese, raisins and olives. Next time, we're going to order the lemon potatoes. Calissa has an extensive wine menu, and we were able to get assistance from the sommelier who found us a bottle of wine at the right price point. The outdoor dining setup - which was in place before Covid - is lovely and a definite treat for those wonderful summer nights.

Reservations are a must. They fish was really good. It was $500 for 4 people for dinner. Valet parking only and it's free. There's a DJ at night and it was fun. There were way more women then men and it was definitely what you'd expect from a Hamptons bar/restaurant.

3.5, rounding up because their outside, covid-era, dining area was so chic. Maybe one of the best we experienced during our Hamptons jaunt. Throw in excellent service and a strong pour on those cocktails and you have a very decent dinner. Food-wise, although our fish was perfectly cooked, we didn't think the meal was particularly special. In fact it was very expected, and not necessarily in a good way. Nothing wrong with that for a weekday meal I guess. In any case, we might come back here if we're feeling pretty- so as to fit in with their beautiful outside dining area.

The worst food and drinks ever. All of the food was either over cooked / burnt or wayyyyy too salty. The wine was terrible so then I got a margarita... gross. I felt like i was drinking nothing but lime juice. 0/10 stars if I could. My friends agreed as well. This place is definitely overrated and not worth it

This place is hilarious! We walked in this past Friday for 2 people. Nothing but teenagers with fake ID's getting them taken away by the front door. The place was filled with teenagers. Bartender said it's the new norm. The outside looked like a cafeteria with tables jammed together. The vibe killed the entire experience and the food was sub par at best. This isn't Hamptons level at all with the crowd or service. They must be getting their friends to write the better reviews for this place lol.

Nightmare Dining Experience: An Avoidable Disaster I regret to share my recent experience at Calissa, which was an absolute disaster from start to finish. The service, or lack thereof, was nothing short of appalling. The waitstaff seemed to have no concept of personal space, interrupting our meal every two minutes with unnecessary inquiries and interruptions. To make matters worse, within a mere 15 minutes of our arrival, we were sternly informed that unless we placed an immediate food order, we would be forced to leave. This blatant lack of patience and understanding only set the tone for what was to come. The inclusion of the tip in the bill was a baffling decision, as the service we received did not warrant any gratuity whatsoever. The exorbitant prices for subpar dishes further added insult to injury. The quality of the food left much to be desired, failing to live up to even the most basic expectations. The final straw came when we attempted to address our concerns with the manager. Instead of providing any semblance of customer service, the manager rudely insisted that we vacate the premises. Despite clearly explaining the numerous issues we encountered during our meal, he showed no interest in rectifying the situation or salvaging our dining experience. It is disheartening to realize that this establishment only values customers who are willing to spend exorbitant amounts of money. For those seeking a genuine dining experience and fair treatment, I strongly advise against patronizing Calissa. Save yourself the disappointment and frustration by exploring other options that prioritize customer satisfaction. I've never dealt with a more rude manager in my entire life!

The food was memorable. All dishes well executed to its vision of simplicity and ingredient driven. The octopus, the dips, the watermelon salad, and the grill salmon and pork were all excellent. The patio is beautiful and the buzz added to the vibe. The only complaint is the hostess and the waiter were not the friendliest and a bit snobbish and pretentious. Restaurants in this day and age need to rid themselves of this attitude. Thank goodness for the talented kitchen.

Calissa is an amazing restaurant - the food is exceptional and the ambience is gorgeous. We love eating at Calissa in the fall and winter when the dishes are rustic and hearty. In the spring and summer there is often great entertainment too! I love being able to eat out and enjoy while staying on my Mediterranean diet. I try to stay gluten-free and Calissa is very accommodating with special diets. There aren't a lot of super restaurants in Hamptons, so I keep going back to Calissa where I am always surprised and delighted by the experience.

So disappointed in this restaurant experience. My husband made a reservation for date night for 2, and we were running a little late -- we called to let them know. They didn't have a problem with it - they only said they'll need the table back in an hour, which was fine. Until we got there and we were treated unfairly - like we were trash. They won't sit outside (which is fine if they are packed). They were completely empty inside and sat us right in the way where everyone was passing through. We talked to the hostess (rude) and then the owner proceeded to follows us outside when we decided to leave to barrage and argue with us - very concerning behavior. Definitely biased and racist.

My family and I LOVE Greek food but Calissa has to be the worst Greek food we have ever tasted!! We gave it a try twice and It's almost like diner food but with higher prices! If you have a reservation but you go with kids they always seat you inside and tell you theres nothing available outside when half the outside seating area stays empty! The portions are extremely small,bland and tasteless! Really disappointing! The only reason I gave it two stars and not one was because our waitress was really kind!

I planned my sister's bridal shower at Calissa last weekend and it was so, so lovely. We took over the full restaurant for our private event and it was a beautiful setup that transported everyone to the islands of Greece. We opted to do light passed appetizers (the spanakopita was a knockout) and a very elegant, elevated breakfast buffet. Calissa totally overdelivered on our European fantasy of breakfast. The waiters are so kind and sweet, and the managers were very helpful the morning of the event with coordinating the flowers and cake with us. It was so seamless and we could just focus on having a great time with our friends and family during the party.

So glad to have found this beautiful hidden gem in The Hamptons. The food was delicious, from the zucchini chips, to the spanacopita, to the massive lobster pasta. It was a party atmosphere but we enjoyed it. The outside garden dining area is very charming but we opted to sit inside to be closer to the bar and DJ. This is a great restaurant for bigger groups. We saw families dining earlier in the evening and then a younger crowd and people coming to party after 10:30. The God Create Woman cocktail is not to be missed!

Carissa is a one of a kind restaurant. I love the look of the outside, looks like an older well kept home. The inside is beautiful, great decor an indoor outdoor bar plus a huge outdoor dining section. Food was so different but still Greek. Best thing ever is the fried cheese!! Drinks were amazing, would go back !

I cannot say enough good things about Calissa and their team! I spoke to Alana and Brooke at length before my event and they always answered in a timely manner and was so patient with me while I navigated scheduling with my small group. We booked their bachelorette package that includes a family style dinner which included: three apps, three entrees, three sides, unlimited wine, an after dinner drink and baklava. I had three women in my party with EXTREME gluten allergies and they were happy to accommodate them. It was SO much food and they wrapped up whatever my party didn't finish which was amazing because all of the food was delicious! The atmosphere was so nice we felt like we were in Mykonos! I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have a great time and looking to get their money's worth!

The sea bass was just fine and the hummus was serviceable but they kicked out all the Jews and Asians @12 - kinda weird policy

It's fine. The service is quite slow and the food is wayyy overpriced. It was tasty but nothing I couldn't get anywhere else on Long Island. I will say the atmosphere would make me come back.
