    Ricky 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!

    Excellent food and service. We were seated at a low lounge type table. There are real tables available and a restaurant this good deserves sitting at a real table.

    we dined here 2 weeks ago and enjoyed it despite the cost of the meal. We came back for the burger and lamp chops. Was sad to see the lamb chops for 2 were not on the menu this evening. We order the lamb shank ($90 for the plate). It was tasty but truly not worth the cost. I would not order that again. The appetizers were good but all kind of price. I understand that the location and the place is quite popular at the moment. Sure would like to see the prices restrained.

    Service was great and the restaurant is beautiful. Our only issue was the $90 Branzino that we ordered. It was way over dressed in oil, spices, and shishito peppers, and very undercooked. Have had Branzino 100x and unfortunately this had to go back to the kitchen. Went to this restaurant specifically for the Branzino and it’s unfortunate they were in such a hurry to get it to the table that it came out all wrong.

    Dear Bryce, Thank you for your kind words about our service and ambiance. We’re very sorry to hear that the Branzino didn’t meet your expectations, especially as it was the highlight of your visit. Your feedback about the preparation and presentation is truly valued, and we will be sharing it with our culinary team to ensure this dish receives the care and attention it deserves. We appreciate you giving us the chance to make it right and hope to welcome you back for a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Dylan Mora/Calabra at Santa Monica Proper
