   Not an awesome experience. Starts with the setting...seated adjacent to the lobby bar where guests were loudly enjoying themselves. Given the layout it's understandable that this can happen. As for the food, the highlight was definitely the meatball appies. Otherwise, 2 colleagues had steaks that were both over done vs. instructed (which is odd given they slice the steak for you!), and my beef tagliatele was fairly bland (never usually have to add salt at a restaurant!), and the meat was strangely mushy. For the price I wish we'd uber'ed downtown to find a better option.

   Our waitress was such a trooper. There were 8 of us and a lot going on for Mother’s Day. She absolutely did the best she could. However the men got served first and then women got served sporadically and then the food was cold but it was still decent. We had to get our own water. Food took forever. Waitress was apologizing I felt bad for her she was working so hard. I just think they should have had more staff and been more organized Esp for Mother’s Day but at the end of the day it’s a first world problem.

   Phenomenal experience… from being welcomed at the door, warmly greeted by the host, served by a wonderful waitress and served a deliciously prepared breakfast, we loved our Mother’s Day breakfast… and to top it all off, the view was incredible! Highly recommend!

   Were told a few reso's stayed late so we would have a window table when 1 left. 2 left and 2 couples who arrived long after got them. Pretty maddening. Portions of the apps were great, portions & taste of the mains were comical. Small and flavourless, my husbands salmon was not cooked property & my "beetroot salad" was literally 1 beet cut into slices with some cream that tasted like purfume. Ive had more well thought out food at basic restaurants. Not at all worth the $115.00 bill + tip. There was a live musical guest who was great, but its so noisy in there we could barely hear her 3 tables away. Im sure the view is great, but 1 row from it, we couldnt see anything. As an aside the hostess & bartender are fabulous.

   First time back to Calisto after having mixed experiences during and post COVID. We’re so glad we decided to dine there for their Easter dinner. We were aware there was a new team in the kitchen- accomplished chef and pastry chef and were curious to try eating there again. Definitely don’t regret this decision at all! The food was amazing, there were 6 of us so we tried a variety of dishes. Everything was perfectly cooked and very delicious. Service was excellent. Beautiful environment- inside and out. Stunning views from a lovely setting. Reasonably priced for upscale casual. Appreciate surviving difficult times, looks like everything is on the right path now 👍
