I love this place. Came to visit and we went two days in a row. The Lamb Riblets, Octopus, and Greek salad is phenomenal. Highly recommend!
Had the 3 course prix fixed dinner and we enjoyed it for our first visit. My husband loved the baklava. Everything was tasty. Also enjoyed the Greek music and the ambiance. Will return l.
Loved this place! The food was amazing I had the chicken kebab and lemon and potatoes. Both were spectacular and flavorful! Greek salad was great I had several servings! My hubby had the Makoussa and he loved his meal!
Calista Greek Taverna: Pleasant, Polished, and Passing Calista Greek Taverna presents itself as a modern Greek escape—bright, coastal, and unfussy. The room is airy and comfortable, with a lively but controlled energy that suits Coral Gables well, making it an easy choice for a casual night out or an efficient prix fixe meal. The Greek spreads were the highlight: tzatziki cool and balanced, skordalia assertively garlicky with a pleasing nuttiness, and melitzanosalata smoky and smooth, all well matched with warm pita. A Greek salad, though fresh, arrived undersized. For mains, branzino was simply prepared and clean-tasting, while grilled salmon leaned safe but competently executed. Dessert—Greek yogurt with sour cherry preserves—was gently tangy and refreshing, ending the meal on a restrained note. Service was attentive without hovering, paced for conversation rather than ceremony. Calista doesn’t push boundaries, but it doesn’t stumble either. It’s a reliable stop—pleasant, efficient, and familiar—worth revisiting for a quick, well-run meal, though not a place that demands a return pilgrimage. #CoralGablesEats #GreekCuisine #PrixFixe
This restaurant was a 100% disappointment. It started with a greasy, dirty menu and cheap plastic salt and pepper shakers on the table. The food was terrible. A $23 salad with a cucumber of extremely poor quality — I wouldn’t even buy something like that for home. The entire salad had only two olives. The asparagus was impossible to eat: raw, tough, and with untrimmed ends. The restaurant charges fine-dining prices, but the interior and food quality are more like a cheap diner. I honestly don’t understand why people come here. There are nearby places that respect their customers — with a pleasant atmosphere, nice interiors, and, most importantly, good food. I would fire this chef without hesitation.
