Open year-round, Calissa comes alive in the summer with live music and DJs on the Terrace and in the Lounge. From November through March, Calissa Chalet offers an après-ski–inspired experience with cheese fondue, mulled wine, and spiked hot chocolate in a cozy lounge setting. DJs perform every Friday and Saturday and we serve Sunday brunch throughout the year.

As one of Southampton’s premier event and wedding venues, Calissa offers private dining spaces for gatherings of 10 to 300 guests.

Once again restaurants in the Hamptons are plagued by challenging service . Our server and bus staff were OUTSTANDING. It was my wife’s birthday a party of 6 upon arrival we were seated at a table for 8 by the door to the kitchen , literally , upon seeing other tables we asked to be moved and were accomodated . Apps were great but then it took almost 50 mins after the apps were removed before our main course was served . Our server was again GREAT during this very extended delay . She asked her mgr to come over . He did , did not say apologies or anything came looked at the table and said I will comp u one of the apps and walked away . The food was great though!! We have been there many times and always had a great time . I think restaurants are just challenged with service issues lately . I get it but at the price point you have to take responsibility and figure it out . Customer service is still the golden rule of success !!

Very crowded, overpriced, and the wait staff is very anxious to turn over your table - hence they are at your table every few minutes... Food was very good and very overpriced....

The place was a total club restaurant scene with dark dark lights. Everyone was high and it just felt like a great place to go as a group and party not a family gathering for dinner.

This was a really disappointing experience. I came here last year for a bachelorette and had such an amazing time that I thought it would be a good place to go for a different bachelorette this year- clearly I was wrong. We arrived 15 mins before our reservation and our first encounter was with a rude hostess. We were told to wait at the outside bar for our table and that we would get a text when our table was ready. We also found out before dinner that Ja Rule would be making an appearance to promote his new liquor brand, so we anticipated some craziness and a wait for our table, but not to the extent that we experienced. Overall, we waited 45 minutes to be seated. Each time we would ask the hostess or manager, we were told another 5 mins, but then we would see other tables of similar size being seated before us. Finally, at 9PM I asked the manager when we would be seated and he said "ok come with me" and when I gave some push back over the poor communication, instead of apologizing he said "it's the Hamptons," as if that excuses the staff being rude to us. We were seated at a table meant for 5-6 people instead of the 7 we had and were squished and uncomfortable the whole time. The food was good and brought out quickly, but the meal wasn't as enjoyable due to the experience we had prior to being seated. Sadly, I don't think I'd recommend this place and don't ever plan to return. Just because you are a restaurant in the Hamptons, does not give you the right to treat your guests with disrespect and rudeness because you're busy.

Another great dinner! The bar has a fun vibe (indoor and outdoor) and the staff are very welcoming. My husband loves their pork chop and steaks, and I have never had better crudo anywhere. We will be back again…and again…and again!

WOW! I've driven by Calissa so many times but hadn’t stopped in until recently. What a fun restaurant with really cool vibes! It totally transports you to the Mediterranean, and the outdoor seating area is super cool. I was told they even have DJs on the weekends. The wine list was great—one of the servers helped me pick out an interesting Greek white I had never tried before, and it was awesome. The food was simple but very tasty. I especially liked the appetizers—the saganaki and the crudo platters were a big hit at our table.
