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!
