- KKellyvipPhoenix / Arizona •7 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWow!!!!!! What an amazing meal we had…. The restaurant was absolutely gorgeous and wine selection was incredible! But the show stopper was the Egypt Experience food we had….. the flavors brought us to Egypt Mediterranean paradise. And the quantities were so plentiful! I would recommend getting the experience because of the eating style “family” serving dishes for the authentic experience and to be able to taste all the different dishes and flavors of the region. Hats off to chef Michael Mina! Bravo. We will be back!More infoOrla - Regent Santa MonicaPrice: Very Expensive• Mediterranean• Santa Monica•4.2

- RRickLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoRicky 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!More infoCalabra at Santa Monica ProperPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Santa Monica•4.8
