The food takes center stage at Calliope! We came for the first time for our anniversary. We tend to love Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fare, so modern Levantine was straight up our alley! The staff was warm and welcoming. Everyone was knowledgeable about the food. Our...Read More

Anyone who gave this restaurant a negative review calls a dash of salt and pepper ~seasoning~. This was the most flavorful meal experience I have had. Came for my birthday and will absolutely be back and will be telling everyone I know to come here....Read More

Oh my goodness that was good. I’m not real sure how to explain this cuisine though. All the food is a curious concoction of Mediterranean, middle eastern, and some southern. The head bartender was super nice and very informative of the food and drinks. We...Read More

Exceptional food, service and quantities. We got the Sofra and an order of the octopus. The appetizer tasting was delicious (the eggplant spread of it was beyond phenomenal): it contained various spreads, olives, beats and pickled vegetables. The second corse was the lamb shank which is GIGANTIC....Read More

The sofra was amazing - some of the best starter sauces we've ever had and a delicious lamb shank. Our waiter was also excellent and very helpfully guided us through the menu options, recommending gluten free dishes, etc.

Very nice atmosphere, and the bar service was great. We walked in without reservation and had to wait, but that's to be expected. The pita bread was good and hot, we got chicken shawarma and whipped feta which were both delicious!
