We love everything about CaliChili. It's so easy to find a parking spot and once you enter the restaurant, it's like stepping into a different world. Wonderful ambiance, a unique menu and excellent food. The service is attentive without being intrusive. We started with a new item on the menu, Calamari and French Bean. It leans into more Southeast Asian flavors and was a perfect starter. It was a cold and drizzly night, so we ordered the Dum Biryani with lamb as our main course. The meat was falling off the bone. The rice, lamb and yogurt sauce all melded together perfectly. Thank you for another wonderful meal.

Food is always good. Got our food with no silverware. They dropped off the food and just walked away. Had to get up to ask for silverware. Getting a soda took forever since it came from the bar and the waitress had to wait. I go to this location often and have never had to wait for service like this time.

The food was absolutely amazing! Really good service and everything we tried was fantastic from fried pickles, and candied bacon appetizer to burnt ends, brisket, steak, even the loaded, baked potato with chili. The whole family loved everything! Oh don’t miss the corn bread muffins!!!

This was my first time dining at Craft by Smoke and Fire, and I can honestly say it was the best barbecue I've ever had. The flavors were absolutely amazing, with each dish cooked to perfection. The meats were tender, juicy, and packed with smoky goodness, and the sides were the perfect complement. Every bite was a true delight. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their incredible barbecue!

Harrison was our server. He had a positive energy and made sure we were good. I hope we get him again. The food and drinks were good too. We had ribs, cinnamon cornbread, buffalo boneless chicken, slaw, baked beans, mac and cheese, and sweet potato cheesecake. First time there and will definitely be back!

A great place to watch football and enjoy an energetic atmosphere. Great service, great food. It was an amazing place to have dinner before the Hockey game.
