Relaxing place, music was nice and just high enough. Staff were great and the food was very good. Cost me less than I expected from a place like this as a bonus.

We recently visited as a group and opted for the group menu, but unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. Service execution was the first challenge: many guests didn’t receive their plates in order and had to check in with three different servers, none of whom circled back with clear updates. This lack of communication created unnecessary frustration.
The drinks also missed the mark, needing to be remade twice. For a restaurant of this caliber, consistency in both cocktails and service should be a priority.
On the food side, our group intentionally ordered different dishes so we could sample the full menu. The standout was the gnocchi with blue cheese cream—my portion was creamy and flavorful, though I requested it without nuts (which seemed out of place in the dish). Unfortunately, other guests received gnocchi that were dry and undersauced, pointing to inconsistency in plating. More broadly, we found that additions like raisins, nuts, and what seemed to be fig/date mash didn’t complement the dishes at all—simpler, more focused flavors would be more effective.
The calamari, for example, would shine with just lemon and a well-made dipping sauce, but instead felt overworked and possibly pre-packaged. The chicken was dry and underseasoned, while the octopus, though tender, lacked any real flavor. The jarret d’agneau was acceptable, but pairing it with plain boiled pasta was a mismatch. Across the board, the biggest issue was lack of seasoning and balance.
As for service, training and communication need serious improvement. In my case, I skipped the main course and ordered a Caesar salad, but the server didn’t mention that it would be charged at full price. When I brought it up, his response was simply, “You are a big group,” followed by a shrug. That kind of interaction makes guests feel disregarded.
Overall, while there were glimpses of potential the gnocchi being one the menu needs a full review, with a focus on simplicity, seasoning, and consistency. The service team would benefit from more training on guest communication and attentiveness. With refinement, this could be a much better dining experience, but as it stands, it was disappointing.

We did bridal shower the food everything was perfect . But we had climate problem the AC was not strong enough and we were melting inside of the hall . 50 people the only thing they were complaining was the atmosphere and that was very sad situation . We spent all that money so at the end we get this problem that we couldn't solve it .

I want to eat today at Calvi With my girlfriend we eat some fish end filet mignon it was really really good I had a good service she was really funny End giggle
Horrible overpriced food. Extremely uncomfortable banquettes, empty lobster tank in the corner, fake flowers everywhere. We paid close to $300. for a lunch for 2 people which was so bland and dry at best, highway robbery.
