    This was our first time to Gjelina and we will certainly be back. The food is simply delicious and beautiful. We went off the recommendations from our server Lance who was charming and knowledgeable. We started with the Kombucha Squash, then we had the Mushroom Pizza which comes with dried oregano from Spain (sooo good) and finished with the Warm Date Cake which had a whiskey carmel sauce and Ginger Ice Cream. Nothing disappointed! Loved that Justin, the host, would walk by and give me a thumbs up with a smile to check and see if everthing was good. Really appreciated both Lance and Justin. Thanks!

    Our first visit to this iconic restaurant was excellent. We loved the Rocket Salad starter and were blown away by our main course, the sautéd mac nut and herb crusted fresh fish (Halibut) - delicious! Our server, Ally, was fabulous. For dessert, she recommended the Hula Pie - holy moly that was amazing! We visited on a weekday night at 6pm in mid-Nov and the place was not crowded at all. We self-parked but were still charged $10, the only disappointment of the evening.

    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!
