    Absolutely loved this place. It's located partially in the lobby of the hotel but the set up is so nice. Great service the whole time we were there. The pina colada margarita was my fave drink. I tried 2 martinis which were tasty yet strong. The calamari was good but I wasn't a fan of the sauce. The pasta was so good. I also liked the sliders with the potato chip fries. The wings were crispy and tasty. I didn't try the salad but my friend said it was good. The pictures I'm including have double servings because we wanted everything to fit on the table with the exception of the salad and wings. Each sliders app came with two sliders.

    Calandra's Mediterranean Grill has been on my radar for some time now and I finally visited for lunch on a weekday with my bestie. Within a hotel, you can park and enter on the side, there are signs outside to indicate where to go. Once inside, you walk straight to the end of the hall and through a large door where you'll be greeted by a gorgeous interior. I absolutely loved how the restaurant looked, even with it having two separate dining sections. We opted to dine in the area that was more closed off, and we were delightfully surprised to see some stunning Valentine's Day décor. Overall, the space has obviously been well thought out and designed with efficiency in mind. We ordered a few cocktails and loved each one, everything was refreshing. They have an impressive selection of gluten-free items on the menu, but we decided to split an order of mushrooms and a pizza pie. The mushrooms were insanely good, probably the best I've had while dining out, and the pizza tasted fantastic. I also have to give a shout out to the staff, everyone was super friendly and made our experience that much better. I can't wait to return, hopefully for a date night so I can check out some of the cool dining promos they have.

    Great happy hour menu. I usually sit at the bar abs get the Nonna's Meatballs. Two meatballs in sauce for $10. Today I tried the Rustic Sausage with Peppers and Onions in a tomato sauce. I think it's $12. It was excellent! Sometimes this place gets packed being a hotel and the service can be a bit slow. Today was not very busy and the service was prompt and the staff was very friendly.

    Calandras salad off the happy hour bar menu

    Calandras has a great menu with delicious food! The entire restaurant is beautiful with great service and the food is so good. Have eaten here a few times now and it never disappoints! It was happy hour on the patio or bar. It was a great option allowing for the opportunity to try various items. Best choice for me as I wanted to try so much. I saw various other dishes from the wings, charcuterie board to the Caesar salad and the sliders. Everything looked so good The calandras salad is so yummy with a light vinegrette dressing. It is light but enhances the flavor of the salad elevating it. The chicken parm is a large portion with just the right amount of cheese and sauce. The pizza is amazing! You wouldn't expect a tasty pizza but it is so good. Definitely a great eat and the staff are so personable.

    Chicken Milanese Salad Lunch
    Stefano R.

    I travel to Fairfield, NJ semi-regularly and I always stop to eat at Calandra's. Their menu, service, food preparation and quality have all been consistently excellent. Late lunch today was no exception; $25 special (soup or salad, entrée and dessert). I had the beef barley and the chicken milanese salad (no room for dessert).

    Salmon Marakesh with couscous and asparagus
    Elise M.

    This restaurant is attached to the lobby of the Hampton Inn & Suites in Fairfield, NJ. It's waaayyyyy better than your average hotel restaurant and bar. I stayed for 3 days and the restaurant was packed every night. I sat at the bar, but the restaurant has a nice dining room and outdoor patio. Service was great, food came out fast. The complimentary bread with olive oil and Parmesan is a nice touch. I got the Marrakech Salmon one night, and the Ravioli the next night. Salmon was perfectly cooked and broiled crispy. Nice spices, couscous was fine, the citrus sauce a tad too sweet but overall lovely meal. The ravioli was delicious but rather a basic dish for the cost. I'd suggest choosing dishes that you're unlikely to make at home. I ordered a tiramisu for the room and it was very satisfying. Great place if you love Italian food! Lots of weekly specials and happy hour deals. A grand piano in the lobby for live music, super classy joint.

    Pork chop

    Very nice atmosphere. Very friendly servers. Food was very good. Only drawback. Prices are very high for what you get. Little pricey. This place is for special occasions only not for a casual lunch or dinning.

    $17 House salad
    Cat M.

    Enjoyed lunch w/6 other people. We were sat in the lobby area of the restaurant by the bar. Loved the EVOO & parm cheese on the table to go w/the bread which by the way was delish! Service was spotty. Waiter took some of our drink orders & did not ask the rest which was strange. Martini's were $16. My house salad was $17 which to me was very pricey for what you got. Others at our table got various salads, rice balls, & a BLT. Dessert & coffee were good. Service improved as the day went on. I would go back again for sure but would try to go during the Happy Hour. Nice bar area.

    Decor

    The place was decorated beautifully! The wait staff and service A+! We started with fresh bread, olives and olive oil. Also had their beet salad which was amazing and their fried calamari (delicious) Had some wonderful sangria (red) and I had pasta bolognese and my family cavatelli with broccoli... the others had paninis. Will definitely be back. Oh... we each received a delicious loaf of Italian bread when we left. How nice is that!

    Warm bread brought to the table.

    Fresh food. Lovely ambience. Friendly staff. Gluten free options. Fresh bread. Olive oil on the table. TVs at the bar. Outdoor seating. Peaceful patio. Overpriced menu.

    Met Danielle and Melissa from RHONJ
    Angela A.

    Late post!! I came here for Ladies Night back in September, with my best friend, for the event that was hosted by Danielle and Melissa from the RHONJ. This event was SO cool! I walked in first and let the hostess know I had a reservation for a table for 2, and told her that my friend was right behind me. She walked me over to a 4-top that was right next to the table where Melissa and Danielle were sitting. I could BARELY contain my excitement, because I thought we were going to be sat in the back somewhere! (I mean talk about luck!) when my best friend arrived, she called me, and I told her where to find me and to not freak out. We were both being fan girls all night and wound up being the LAST table that they came to, to say hello. Missy G complimented my shoes!! Okay enough about the event and now on to the food. We both shared the Octopus and the Pizza Calandra. Of the two, I preferred the pizza more. Although the flavor was there, the octopus was a lil too dense for my taste; it's tricky to get octopus just right. For my entree I elected to go for their grilled pork chop and I am so glad I did! The portion was HUGE and I was able to take most of it home for leftovers. The restaurant itself sits in the lobby of a hotel so it is not standalone which may through people off but the Calandra's brand (let's face it empire) is huge and they've got something really cool cooking to be able to host events such as celebrity meet & greets.

Dear Management Team, I am writing to formally report a severe case of food poisoning resulting from a takeout order I purchased from Parkside Social on April 17, 2026. Following the consumption of this meal, I became violently ill and required a two-day hospitalization. As a direct result of this incident, I have incurred significant medical bills and out-of-pocket costs, which are detailed in the attached documentation. While I understand your organization may not yet have accepted formal responsibility, the timeline and medical diagnosis directly link my illness to the food consumed from your establishment. I request a full reimbursement for the attached out-of-pocket medical expenses totaling $596.93. Please review the attached receipts and documentation. I look forward to your prompt response to resolve this matter amicably.

We did a quick search, saw Jersey Spirits Distilling and decided to give it a try. I would have never known it existed since it's tucked in the back of an industrial complex. From the outside, it looks small, but it's pretty spacious inside. When we were seated, our server gave us a brief history of the distillery. I love that it's family-owned and all of the ingredients are locally sourced from NJ. There are so many different cocktail options, and some of them were so creative in their presentation. Since I was having a difficult time deciding, I went with the Espresso Martini flight. It came with a Traditional, Pistachio, and Jelly Ring martini. I also ordered a cookie butter martini. My favorite was definitely the creamy pistachio martini. I am so happy to have discovered Jersey Spirits Distilling and can't wait to visit again soon!

But for the first several years there was an upscale vibe and guests dressed appropriately which made the experience feel premium. Now it isn't all that uncommon to see guests wearing worn out tee shirts, sweat shirts, flip flops, cutoffs, etc. Nothing crazy, but a collard shirt and no flip flop code would be a fair. With all that said, I love this place and I think you will as well. Give it a try.
