Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Calandra's Mediterranean Grill offers a "great spot" for special occasions with its "delicious as always" meals and "spectacular" staff. The inviting atmosphere and fresh, flavorful dishes, like wood-fired pizza with figs, stand out. Guests enjoy a "magical" dining experience, though some find prices high. Highly recommended for its food and ambiance.

    Been going to Mediterranean Grill for years. First time since they did the place over. Looks very nice. Crisp and clean and very warm and friendly atmosphere. Food is always on point, staff friendly and attentive enough to not be overbearing. Wish we would have sat outside on the patio, it was a great night for it, but the entertainment indoors made us glad we did not ask to be moved. Always a pleasure to see Tom. Spent many a night with friends at the bar chatting and enjoying whatever special drink he would make us.. Great host !!

    Waitress was great. Calamari was off, felt chewy and cold. Busboy was terrible, she came by 3 times while we were eating to ask if we were done. Did not understand why she was rushing when the restaurant was not that busy. Felt very uncomfortable Other than that every else was good.
