I have eaten at all of the Calypso locations since I moved her 20 years ago. I have been saddened there is only the Thompson Lane location left. I have always ordered the Lucayan salad and keep coming back bc it is fantastic! Today I went and the muffins were mini and flat. Very strange texture. The dressing was either rotten or not made right. It smelled foul. The chicken was not just colder than normal but had ice on it. Again, my server was very kind. He offered to bring me something else, but I was not interested at this point. I was almost nauseous. Then I was still given the check to pay for a salad that I did not eat at all. Only one single bite. I said nothing and obliged, as my husband owns restaurants. I get it, and conceded to pay. I did say something to the catering manager on the way out, as I would want to know to improve. Although he was also kind, he offered zero apology and didn’t even respond about the dressing being potentially spoiled or offer to check on it to make sure it was okay. Im sure I will try again in hopes that the 100 wonderful times I’ve eaten it will prove to reign true again. However, my voice was not even acknowledged, and I think it is important that the owners/managers know. Complaints help my husband’s restaurants improve just as much as the compliments.

Always excellent Caribbean food choices. Generous servings. Cozy but busy place. Patio dining is available

Parking: Such a busy place! Small parking lot, so it's best to carpool when a group of friends are going, but the lot is always full because the food is soon good!
