Calypso offers a great view overlooking Lake Sumter. The inside/outside bar and overall ambience are described as wonderful and very nice. Service is frequently praised as excellent, attentive, and friendly, with specific staff members noted for being welcoming and providing great recommendations. The food receives positive remarks for being flavorful, with good size and generous portions. Dishes mentioned include the Mahi sandwich and the Calypso platter. A steel drum band and occasional music add to the atmosphere. While some find the lunch prices outrageously expensive, many highlight the experience for drinks, Happy Hour, and appetizers. The restaurant is highly recommended for its view, service, and atmosphere.
