    Calabra never fails to impress! My friends and I recently stopped by for drinks and dessert, and as always, the food and drinks were top-notch. But what truly sets Calabra apart is the exceptional service. A huge shoutout to Hayden! My pregnant friend was craving apple juice, which isn’t on the menu. Instead of just saying no, Hayden went the extra mile to find her one. That kind of thoughtfulness and care is truly heartwarming. Our server, Paul, was also fantastic. He was super knowledgeable about the menu, answered all our questions, and even made some great recommendations. If I could give Calabra 10 stars for the service alone, I would! Thank you to the entire Calabra team for another amazing experience.

    Everything was good. We didn’t like our table, they were nice in changing our table. My burger was well done instead of medium and it was changed to medium and it was very yummy. Our server was super nice.

    Ricky made our experience at Calabra truly unforgettable! From the moment we sat down, his friendly and genuine demeanor gave us a warm, local vibe that made us feel right at home. He went above and beyond by recommending incredible cocktails tailored to our preferences and even crafting them to perfection himself. Ricky's smile never left his face, and his generous attention to detail elevated our dining experience. Combine his stellar service with Calabra's amazing Mediterranean food, and it was an evening to remember. Thank you, Ricky - you're a gem!
