The atmosphere is a 10 - Our waitress was fine and then it goes downhill very fast. The menu has overpriced options with small portions. We all left hungry. Someone had an an allergy at our table that was ignored. read more

Rushed our entire dinner. Rude service and served an entire meal within 20 minutes, telling us we had an hour to eat before being kicked out. read more

Went to the bar while I waited for the traffic to die down. Really cute place. My drink was delicious and the spanakopita and lemony potatoes were good. Service was phenomenal. I am new to the area and the bartender and waitstaff made me feel really welcome. Will be back soon. read more

We came to Calissa for our friend's bachelorette and were shocked by how unwelcoming the experience was. While Esteban, our waiter, was sweet and kind, the rest of the staff was cold. After ordering around 15 appetizers to share, the owner came over and told us we couldn't stay for another round of drinks because we "only got appetizers." We were rushed out in under an hour, the manager never acknowledged us, and the overall attitude was dismissive and rude. For such a special occasion, we expected basic hospitality. I've lived in the area for years, and I'll be sure to tell others not to come here. I'll never be back. read more

Calissa had a great atmosphere and vibe!!! It's a great place for a girls night or a bachelorette party. We had ordered tuna tartare, Greek salad, salmon, chicken slovaki, and hummus. Everything was so delicious!!! We had gone on a Friday night and there was a DJ/music and the place wasn't crazy packed, but had a decent amount of people, I'm going to assume it gets pretty busy in the summertime. I would definitely come back. read more

This is the worst restaurant I've ever been at. They made us wait hours. We got our food 2 hours after ordering. Then they forgot to bring our food. They did not let us split the bill, which is very unlikely. The staff was rude to us, rushing us to order although they took forever to take our order. The food had HAIR IN IT and it tasted very bad. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Came after hours (10pm) for a bachelorette - the food is really good we had calamari, Greek salad, lamb, tuna tar tar, branzino - there was a dJ and a private dance lounge area - wish it was closer to home - drinks are pricey but hey it's the Hamptons read more

I've dined at Calissa twice, and it has not disappointed. They have a pretty extensive menu of appetizers, kebobs, fish dishes, etc. At our table, we shared the Pikilia platter (all six dips with pita), leek rice and Greek fries, and I shared the branzino for two with a friend. The standout was the branzino which was so delicious - the fish was flaky and moist and had tons of flavor. We ended up having to share it with the rest of the table because everybody enjoyed it so much. The Pikilia platter was also very tasty and also provided a lot of variety with the various dips (some more popular than others); it was too much for us four adults to eat along with our main dishes. As for our side dishes, the Greek fries were disappointing; they were fries with Feta cheese, raisins and olives. Next time, we're going to order the lemon potatoes. Calissa has an extensive wine menu, and we were able to get assistance from the sommelier who found us a bottle of wine at the right price point. The outdoor dining setup - which was in place before Covid - is lovely and a definite treat for those wonderful summer nights. read more

Always convivial and happily loud. We always dine outside. Our last visit was in late August. Cocktails were great, we had a few spreads and an excellent fluke crudo. We shared mains, the whole fish was excellent, as always (but maybe a little bit smaller this season), the lamb got excellent reviews. The Horta greens and lemon potatoes were delicious. It's always fun when they turn off the lights and the DJ comes on. We left a little early but managed to be the first ones on the 'dance floor'. This place is always fun, the vibe is great and the service is very friendly. read more

Reservations are a must. They fish was really good. It was $500 for 4 people for dinner. Valet parking only and it's free. There's a DJ at night and it was fun. There were way more women then men and it was definitely what you'd expect from a Hamptons bar/restaurant. read more

The ambiance is lovely, the service is good but none of the dishes made we want to say"wow" -I must come back! We had fried Calamari(good), eggplant dip with its pita( fair) and lamb/ beef meatballs( poor) I think that the Hamptons crowd is less fussy during the summer cause anything beats throwing a party of thirty at your house and having to hear the same stories from the same people that you've invited over for the last thirty years! Sometimes we just need a break from all that and in that case going to this place might serve its purpose! read more

Calissa was literally my favorite restaurant in the Hamptons this Memorial Day weekend! My friends actually went twice lol it's probably my favorite Mediterranean restaurant right now. The ambiance was chic and modern, and I believe a DJ plays house music later in the evening. The restaurant was pretty crowded, so we could tell it was the start of the Memorial Day rush. We order some really good appetizers - my favorite being the watermelon salad! It was tasty and refreshing! I need to add it to my fitness diet lol my friend and I had the lamb chops, and they were so flavorful. Our AirBNB host recommend the restaurant to us, and told us he knew the owner. Midway through our dinner, we met the owner and showed him a picture of our host. He gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne! It was awesome! I was then trying to decide how I was going to finish the 2 watermelon mojitos I ordered, and the champagne! Calissa will be my go-to in the Hamptons! Until then, happy eating!! read more

What could've been a lovely dinner out was one of the most unsatisfying, overpriced and fastest meals to my memory. This restaurant has a great vibe with nice indoor/outdoor seating but that's where it kind of ended. We had the watermelon salad, fluke crudo, fava and tzatziki dips along with the zucchini chips. The watermelon salad was fresh and simple. The zucchini chips were nice with the dip that came with. The fluke was fresh but over salted and sloppily plated. The dips were small portioned and the fava dip was very bland. I had a glass of lukewarm white wine for $26 that was filled to less than half the glass and possibly from a bottle that had been opened for quite some time. The worst was the service. Our waiter was miserable. Barely making eye contact, telling us we couldn't add on food and that we had to leave for the next table before we had even ordered. It was all strange and uncomfortable but I suppose it doesn't matter to him because 20% gratuity is automatically included in the bill. We skipped getting extra drinks and dessert as we didn't feel we wanted to spend another minute or another dollar there. Please do better. read more

CALISSA, only great incredible things to say! This establishment is incredible. we came here for my sister's bachelorette party on Sunday afternoon and incredible is the minimal word I have to say. The food, the ambience, the crowd, the servers all included with the package that we had is truly incredible. Mich the bartender, Israel our server both genuinely outstanding and they deserve the upmost best mention. To Carissa, thank you for making my sister's bachelor party weekend the most upmost incredible weekend of her life. You are the most incredible restaurant/ establishment I've ever been to and I truly appreciate all you've done to make this evening spectacular. PABLO!! Woohoo! read more

Beautiful ambiance but food was really nothing special. Been 2 years ago and it was much better. The Brussel sprouts were amazing. The rest was eh. Had to send back my shrimp scampi because it was cold and too chewy. Branzino was nothing special but clean. Didn't taste too fresh though. Dips (spicy feta and tzaziki) were pretty mediocre but the pita looked bomb even though couldn't eat re bread :(. Waiter was very nice just everything could've been a lot more professional and accommodating. Best part by far was the live Bossanova music. Overall not bad and impressed this place has been here a few years cuz restaurants never last in this spot. Would just like to see good service and food in the off-season as well. read more

Calissa I loveeee!!!! I always come here with my friends it's so much fun and always super busy when I go. I went over memorial weekend on Saturday with a bunch of my friends, it was super busy but all the workers were so helpful and nice. It's so beautiful in the restaurant and they had us outside under the string lights with the music playing all so pretty. The food was so good we got the zucchini chips and Calamari, which were so good as well as the lamb chops were to die for. We got a bottle table by the DJ at the end of the night with this girl who was super nice had a lot of energy. read more

Calissa Hamptons - Mediterranean Near Me - Water Mill, New York

High end, modern, chic, Greek. Atmosphere was absolutely lively on a Sunday night. Service was excellent and food was delicious. Ordered from the large party menu as we were a group of 11 which was perfect and actually quite inexpensive for the quantity of food we received! Served a generous mezze platter when we sat, which was very good, especially the eggplant dip. For first course, I had the grilled octopus which was prepared very well and with nice flavors with fava bean and onion. Second, a white fish (whole) that was perfect! Last, dessert was the greek yogurt (everyone was stuffed at that point but it was quite unique). Paired my meal with a nice glass of Sancerre and casually dined without a rush. The outside dining area of the restaurant is beautiful, airy and very lively. Great for an early evening summer date, group dinner or night cap. One note: Calissa tends to be a "scene", a place to "see and be seen". We are down to earth locals who do not come here for that; we visit because we adore the food and the restaurant is a lovely place for a celebration. If this sort of thing turns you off, I would recommend reserving on the earlier part of the night or coming on the weekdays (Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the quietest out here, even in the summer). Just a note for those who do not enjoy this type of environment. read more

When we first arrived for dinner at Calissa on July 4th, we were met with valet parking. The ambiance at the restaurant was nice. In fact, everything was great until my food arrived at our table. I mentioned to our waitress before I ordered my food that I had an allergy to the spice, dill. The waitress wrote it down on her food order notepad. She assured me that the rice dish with leeks didn't have dill but she would check with the chef too. Well, she must not have communicated the allergy to the chef because the rice with leeks side dish DID HAVE DILL on it. Thankfully I recognized it right away before eating it. I understand that miscommunication happens, but this is a SERIOUS ALLERGY that should not have been taken lightly. The waitress apologized and said she would quickly replace it with another side dish. We chose spanakopita to replace the side dish, as she had recommended to us, as long as it was filled only with spinach & cheese and NO DILL. She was very confident to tell us that the spanakopita had NO DILL. I trusted her especially thinking she would not want to make the same mistake twice. Well, when the spanakopita arrived, my friend had divided it into even pieces for all of us to share. As I was examining it to make sure it was dill free, my friend screamed DON'T EAT IT to me, IT HAS DILL!! Now, this was ridiculous to me that they made the SAME MISTAKE TWICE!! If you have an allergy, DO NOT EAT HERE as THEY DO NOT TAKE ALLERGIES SERIOUSLY!! Also, the waitress recommended the sea bass special (priced around $120.00). She said it would be good to share with 2-3 people. For that price, I expected it to be pretty big fish. When it arrived, we all looked at each other and said that's it?? I easily could have eaten the entire fish and still would have been hungry. The food portions are EXTREMELY small. The waitress asked if we wanted anything else to eat and that she would throw in a free dessert due to the "2" allergy mistakes. I really expected for a manager to come to our table and take off my meal charge. However, no manager came to us so we declined on dessert and left. On the way out, I saw the manager and went up to him to tell him what happened. He didn't seem to really care too much about it nor did he care to try to convince me to give his restaurant another try with a restaurant gift card, voucher or something. We were all very disappointed with our restaurant choice when we left. We will not be returning to eat there again. read more

I came here for a bachelorette dinner and was not thrilled with my experience. As a Greek American, the food was just decent as Greek cuisine. We sat outside and were dancing for exactly one hour (10-11pm was all the dj played outside for) until they turned the music off and had us all cram inside where there was no AC or fresh air circulating. It was hard to breathe and we had to ask the staff multiple times to open doors for us to let air in. After a while of dancing, the "dj/manager/owner" (this is how he described himself to us) asked us to move because he needed to put a table down for a new party. We argued and said that our group was celebrating an event, just spent 3k on dinner were not feeling welcome. The manager was yelling in our faces (including the bride to be) until his face turned red and we decided to leave. Very unprofessional and unorganized. I will never return to this eatablishment read more

Calissa is an amazing restaurant - the food is exceptional and the ambience is gorgeous. We love eating at Calissa in the fall and winter when the dishes are rustic and hearty. In the spring and summer there is often great entertainment too! I love being able to eat out and enjoy while staying on my Mediterranean diet. I try to stay gluten-free and Calissa is very accommodating with special diets. There aren't a lot of super restaurants in Hamptons, so I keep going back to Calissa where I am always surprised and delighted by the experience. read more

Cocktails and service were great. Food is bland but decent. The dining experience really just feels like a pre-party for the night club. Also, if you're above 35, prepare to be the oldest patrons there on the weekends! read more

My family and I LOVE Greek food but Calissa has to be the worst Greek food we have ever tasted!! We gave it a try twice and It's almost like diner food but with higher prices! If you have a reservation but you go with kids they always seat you inside and tell you theres nothing available outside when half the outside seating area stays empty! The portions are extremely small,bland and tasteless! Really disappointing! The only reason I gave it two stars and not one was because our waitress was really kind! read more

Horrible experience!!! We made reservations so we could go dancing there after. I even called but that Friday for some reason they booked a private party so we were excluded from that area. We wouldn't have gone there otherwise. read more

Apparently they don't allow Koreans in after 11 so idk. Their sea bass is ok, bones in.

We recently got married at Calissa and we had the best day ever. From the planning to the preparations, the food and service, everything was excellent. The admin staff were accommodating and the staff on-site treated us like family. Our ceremony outside was beautiful and the cocktails and apps and food kept coming! Several family told us later that we had the best wedding ever and we couldn't agree more! We thank Calissa for an amazing day! read more

Answering the owners outreach, which I appreciate, I confess I do like to use colorful language and share warnings as much as raves. I don't see the issue in this. However, the attitude of trying to find fault in the reviewers experience by misstating facts is explanatory of the culture, behaviour of staff, service and experience we had. I attached a pictogram of my reviews and the number of 5 star reviews is almost the same as one star reviews. The number of 4 star reviews is almost the same as two star reviews (which you were fortunate enough to receive!). My suggestion, as a business owner, is to focus on the problem and not try to pass blame or discredit the reporting. Good luck, thank you for the offer of a $100 gift certificate although we are going to pass - it would mean we would have to return to the restaurant. read more

The worst food and drinks ever. All of the food was either over cooked / burnt or wayyyyy too salty. The wine was terrible so then I got a margarita... gross. I felt like i was drinking nothing but lime juice. 0/10 stars if I could. My friends agreed as well. This place is definitely overrated and not worth it read more

The food was memorable. All dishes well executed to its vision of simplicity and ingredient driven. The octopus, the dips, the watermelon salad, and the grill salmon and pork were all excellent. The patio is beautiful and the buzz added to the vibe. The only complaint is the hostess and the waiter were not the friendliest and a bit snobbish and pretentious. Restaurants in this day and age need to rid themselves of this attitude. Thank goodness for the talented kitchen. read more

Came for dinner and had a great time. The service is fast and friendly (both our server and the hostesses), food is good, and the ambiance is very nice with outdoor seating (plus dog friendly!). We got hummus, pita, chicken souvlaki, fried calamari, and pasta with clams, as well as the gd created women cocktail. All were good! read more

So disappointed in this restaurant experience. My husband made a reservation for date night for 2, and we were running a little late -- we called to let them know. They didn't have a problem with it - they only said they'll need the table back in an hour, which was fine. Until we got there and we were treated unfairly - like we were trash. They won't sit outside (which is fine if they are packed). They were completely empty inside and sat us right in the way where everyone was passing through. We talked to the hostess (rude) and then the owner proceeded to follows us outside when we decided to leave to barrage and argue with us - very concerning behavior. Definitely biased and racist. read more

Great food, top quality and nice service. Get the lamb chops and the dips. Only negative aspect: they don't have gluten free bread. read more

I planned my sister's bridal shower at Calissa last weekend and it was so, so lovely. We took over the full restaurant for our private event and it was a beautiful setup that transported everyone to the islands of Greece. We opted to do light passed appetizers (the spanakopita was a knockout) and a very elegant, elevated breakfast buffet. Calissa totally overdelivered on our European fantasy of breakfast. The waiters are so kind and sweet, and the managers were very helpful the morning of the event with coordinating the flowers and cake with us. It was so seamless and we could just focus on having a great time with our friends and family during the party. read more

Bad food and slow service. Consider ordering bottled water since tap water here smells like swamp water. The pricing is not related to quality of ingredients nor cooking. This place should be called the highway robbery. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Calissa and their team! I spoke to Alana and Brooke at length before my event and they always answered in a timely manner and was so patient with me while I navigated scheduling with my small group. We booked their bachelorette package that includes a family style dinner which included: three apps, three entrees, three sides, unlimited wine, an after dinner drink and baklava. I had three women in my party with EXTREME gluten allergies and they were happy to accommodate them. It was SO much food and they wrapped up whatever my party didn't finish which was amazing because all of the food was delicious! The atmosphere was so nice we felt like we were in Mykonos! I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have a great time and looking to get their money's worth! read more

I came here on a Sunday, Memorial Day Weekend, for the first time for a bachelorette party. We booked the bachelorette contract a week before our arrival. We were seated outside, entertained by Olympia (the singer), the DJ, and the Mykonos band. The food was exactly what we ordered in our contract; it was an ample amount of food, fulfilling and delicious. The wine kept coming and was unlimited as they had promised in the contract. The ambiance was lively and exciting! I noticed inside was just as lively! They had a DJ playing American hits. The servers were quick and alert! Despite the madness - there was so much going on - the staff asked us several times if we needed anything, it was astonishing honestly! How perceptive and attentive they were. And I loved loved loved the napkin-throwing!!!! I was sad we left around 2 am. I would've stayed well past then. I'm a huge fan, I will definitely be back! read more

Exceeded my expectations!!! Beautiful decor, friendly & polite staff, and absolutely delicious food! Loved the moussaka & baklava! Plus, we each got a complementary glass of champagne for our anniversary! Will definitely be back. read more
