    Cajun pork chop with stuffed banana peppers.
    Jeff S.

    One of the best meals I've had in quite a while. The overall experience was excellent. I had the Cajun pork chop that was topped with two stuffed banana peppers. Pork chop was tender and juicy. The banana peppers paired well. Drink servings are generous as well. Ellie was our waitress and she could not have been better. She was personable and very friendly.

    4.5 stars overall. Cala Lily Restaurant and Bar serves foods such as soups, salads, salmon, pork chop, and filet mignon. Compared to a regular dinner menu, an "early dinner" menu offers a slightly smaller selection of foods for slightly smaller serving sizes and prices. Please see my attached photos for the food and alcohol menus in April 2024. I made a reservation for my husband and me for the opening time. A seating hostess immediately said hello and seated us at a small table. Soon our waitress Amanda introduced herself. Throughout our meal, her service was timely and courteous. Here are my husband's and my reviews for our foods: Bread - 5 stars - These bread rolls were fresh and warm and had a crispy outside and moist inside. Lobster ravioli - 4.5 stars - This appetizer consisted of two large raviolis that were filled with lobster meat and topped with a flavorful sauce and nuts. Calamari rings - 4 stars - These calamari rings were fried and looked as large as onion rings. On the side was a tasty cocktail sauce. Maryland-style crab patties - 4.5 stars - This entree consisted of two large crab cakes that were meaty and on top of much sauce. On the side were fresh green beans, carrots, and scalloped potatoes that tasted very good. Maine lobster and crab bisque - 5 stars - I really enjoyed this cup of soup. Chicken-noodle soup - 4 stars - My husband ate half of this cup of soup, and he said that it tasted good but typical. Cajun gulf shrimp and filet mignon tips - 4.5 stars - Perfectly cooked linguini was topped with shrimp and filet mignon tips. My husband ate this entree, and he said that he enjoyed all of it except for the peppers. On the side were green beans and carrots. Tips: As of the time of my review, this restaurant is open only for dinner. The space is somewhat small, so the restaurant recommends reservations. The dress code appears to be casual. I wore a blouse with jeans and ballet flats.

    Ok ... Updating my review ... I've looked over some of the other reviews and even my last review (3 Stars). I think part of the problem with a restaurant on the upper scale of pricing, if everything isn't absolutely perfect your getting slammed with a bad review. So, let's forget about the price for a moment. The food and service on this trip were exceptional! The food was only out-shined by the service from Joyce. For the appetizer we had Chicken Quesadillas (maybe the best I ever tasted). Also, had Lobster Bisque soup (good) We had the Lobster Ravioli which was excellent with plenty of flavor and LOTS of seafood! We had the Porkchop(Cajun style) good and spicy. We had the Crabcakes, they were really good with a nice sauce. We tried (2)two deserts both were "Knock-your-socks off" good. Cala-Lily (traditional) Cala-Lily ( some type of Peanut butter) Ok ... Again, having VERY HIGH prices is like working with the bomb squad... One mistake and you get blown-up. Well... no mistakes on this trip! Keep up the good work guys!

    Living in Hampton for 25 years and never been ( we work evenings). Went Friday night for our Anniversary Dinner. So good! Ordered both seafood specials. Very well cooked. I just wish we had a choice of starch as a side. The sauce would have been great with rice!

    Such a great place! This cozy spot is a great place to go for fabulous food. Tables are situated around the bar in the restaurant. The service was good and there were several specials available. Three of us chose to select regular menu items and one went with a special. The lobster ravioli was served with perfectly prepared seafood and topped with pine nuts. It was flavorful and definitely did not disappoint. The chicken piccata was done perfectly and the sauce was spot on. The Cajun pork chop was flavorful and the banana peppers were the perfect complement. The Jack Daniels pork chop was the only thing we likely wouldn't reorder - truly because there are so many great menu options. The wine list provided a few nice options without breaking the bank. The real star here is the food. Definitely delicious!

    The restaurant is very small and was very crowded on a Friday evening. Make reservations ahead of time. Our server was very sweet and gave us good recommendations! We ordered the hoelzel as an appetizer. It was okay. It had a lot of crab meat, however we weren't expecting it to be cold. I ordered the lobster ravioli and my husband ordered the Cajun filet mignon & gulf shrimp over linguine. Food was pretty good, came with a lot of meat! However, I only got 3 pieces of ravioli and ended up taking some of my husbands pasta. Just a little overpriced in my opinion.

We were confused as to where the actual restaurant was. There is a sign on Route 8, so we parked there, looked around, walked downstairs, only to find it was offices. We then walked upstairs and found that the entrance was actually on the other side of the building but accessible from the front. It's an interesting place when you walk in. We were quickly greeted and seated. It seemed as though the owner and family were working. The menu was interesting, not real large but sufficient. We had, who I believe is the owner, come to our table and ask what we typically like to eat and then she was making suggestions. We thought she was just being helpful. My wife finally looked at her and said, I'm sorry are you also taking flour order now? She replied well that's what I was trying to do. To me that was a little off putting. We all took her suggestions and ordered. The food came out fresh and warm. It was good. We all tried each others meals. We felt that what my wife ordered was the best. The place isn't huge inside but it was fairly busy. It was a little pricey but not bad.

Am looking forward to being back! My server was Tolia (sorry if I'm misspelling/misremembering) and she did an AMAZING job. She was super friendly, made awesome menu recommendations and was a delight to chat to. She recommended I start with the char grilled octopus and this was delicious. It came with capers and a grilled lemon and olive oil and was beautifully presented. The potion was easily finished by just me, so if you have more than 2 people I'd recommend getting more than 1 order of these. It's so delicious. I was then picking between the pastitsio and the moussaka. I was told they both have a strong nutmeg flavor which was not a problem for me. I decided on the moussaka and it was so delicious. It did have a strong nutmeg flavor but not in an overwhelming way. It came with a bechamel sauce on top and layers of eggplant with ground beef tomato and potato. It sort of reminded me of a shepherds pie if you're not as familiar with Greek food. The portion was HUGE - could easily split between 2. I ate almost half of it but couldn't eat the rest although I wish I could've. It was so good. The cocktail I ordered was a nectar spritz (something with "nectar" in the title at least) and genuinely was one of the best cocktails I've had. Definitely beat every other one I had in Pittsburgh this week by FAR. So yummy. I was so impressed with every aspect of my dining experience and would definitely be back!

Will be back to try other offerings.

They DO NOT prioritize DoorDash orders. When you arrive, regardless of the time of day, you will likely be told they are still working on your order. I have, on multiple occasions, went in to pickup an order while there were ZERO customers in the place and they still don't have the order ready or even close to being ready. A typical wait time for this location is 15+ minutes. In that amount of time, you could get other offers and not be waisting 20 minutes of downtime on one order from Aladdin's. I don't accept any DoorDash orders for this restaurant anymore because I've waited over 20 minutes for an order and the staff are sitting at tables chatting up each other with no regard for the take out orders coming in.

My husband and I have eaten breakfast and dinner here. Employees told us that we could sit at a table of our choosing. After reasonable waits, two employees brought our beverages, foods, and bills.

My husband said that the tacos were slightly falling apart, so he ended up eating the pancakes separately from the other ingredients. He would have preferred that the bacon be cooked longer to get crispy. Nevertheless, the ingredients were very fresh and tasty.

Mushroom sauté - 4.5 stars - This entree had such a wonderful aroma! It contained lots of mushrooms, green peppers, onions, melted cheese, and some eggs (and no tomatoes at my request). It was similar to scrambled eggs with vegetables mixed in, but it contained fewer eggs. Sausages - 4 stars - My husband ate a few small sausages. I took one bite, and I thought that they tasted alright. My husband gobbled them up. Hummus and pita bread - 4.5 stars - The pita bread was fresh and warm and tasted very good. We would have preferred a slightly stronger flavor to the hummus. Vegetarian sauté - 5 stars - This entree contained eggplant, green peppers, onion, garlic, tomato, and potato, and I greatly enjoyed the flavors. The serving size was so large that I had leftovers for the next day. Chicken kebab - 4 stars - Chicken thighs were marinated and grilled with herbs. The meat was very juicy and cooked well, but my husband wanted a stronger marinade and different sauce. Baklava - 4.5 stars - I received a generous serving size of four pieces. I liked the phyllo dough and nuts. Beverages - 5 stars - We drank bottled water, orange juice, and mango juice.
