“The best steak I've had in Owensboro Kentucky. Honestly it's the best steak I've ever had but it was the first time I've ever had wagyu steak. We had a great time tonight and look forward to going back. My friend got the duck and it was great as well. I stole a bite lol. Also there are mozzarella sticks that are amazing. I have never cared for mozzarella sticks until I tried Callas.“

“My date and I arrived around 6pm on a very busy Saturday night. The hostess said our wait would be 15-20 minutes. We were seated at a booth after a 45 minute wait. The restaurant was very large and noise level was quite loud. Our server was amazing! She had our refills ready throughout our visit. We started with breaded mushrooms and we added a side of ranch. The batter was crispy and not only were the mushrooms hot and fresh but sooo tasty! The sauces are all house made and they do not disappoint. I ordered the house chicken with the chef’s vegetable of the night, which was squash, zucchini, peppers, and onions and a side salad. I didn’t get a photo of the side salad but it was topped with bacon crumbles, hard boiled egg, house made croutons, and it came with a piece of cheese toast that was to die for! My chicken was juicy and flavorful and the squash was delicious. My date ordered the chicken fingers, waffle fries, and onion straws. The portions were very generous and everything tasted amazing. The menu had many options to choose from and the prices weren’t bad at all. It was a great place for our date night! Highly recommend!“
