It was so much more than the exquisite meal - it was an experience. Callie’s servers are the most knowledgable, best trained, most service oriented team we’ve ever experienced. We had the tasting menu which was EXTRAORDINARY and - for the brave - the delicious Kook Juice from the bar. Our favorite place to dine in San Diego!

One of the best bars I've ever been to full stop. The story that they tell starts when you walk in the door, and continues through the decor and menu, even down to the bathrooms. The attention to detail makes it a fully immersive experience. The drinks are top notch, they have a large catalog of innovative tiki drinks, all of the ones we tried were executed to perfection.

Great meal as always! Love the food here and will certainly be back. I had the pork chop and risotto special which was fantastic. Others in our group also loved their choices. We brought a bottle of wine and the corkage fee was $25. It was a bit on the loud side for a table of 8 to hear each other, but in a way that's part of the experience.
