Callie San Diego Reviews from The Last Year
There has been a lot of buzz about Callie, so I finally had
There has been a lot of buzz about Callie, so I finally had to check it out. It was quite good but I wouldn't call it incredible, and I'm going to tell you why. I would honestly give it 3 1/2 stars, but Yelp does not allow halves so I rounded up- a three star review would've been unfair. One of my girlfriends, and I decided to do a dinner out for our birthdays. We went for the Mediterranean feast, because the five course chef tasting menu sounded like so much fun. We also split one of the wine pairing flights... Not to be cheap, but because we can't drink that much in the evening anymore and sleep at night. The first two courses, the trio of dips, and the Japanese Kanpachi were fantastic. We both agreed that the Kanpachi was the best dish of the night. The main course, which was the halibut, was visually appealing, but unremarkable in taste and texture. A piece of halibut was sliced, so thin, that it seemed to be overcooked, and the flavor of the fish was overwhelmed by the toppings. The beet and citrus salad that came with was fabulous, but the two dishes did not make sense together. Our server recommended the rice pudding for dessert and we also each got a 2.5 oz glass of a dessert wine that he told us was the best desert wine he had ever tasted. I understand that enjoying wine is truly a matter of taste, so I'm not saying that it wasn't good I'm just saying I didn't find it to be spectacular personally, or a particularly good pairing for the rice pudding. Overall, the preselected flight of wines did go very well with the meal and we appreciated being able to split them so we could enjoy it but not feel poorly later. I thought the restaurant was actually nicer inside than the pictures of it were that I saw. I don't quite understand the cafeteria like aesthetic that a lot of these nice restaurants seem to be going for these days. The pictures on their website did not do the decor justice, and the patterned tile was very pretty. The lighting seemed to be very stark, however. I think they were going for moody, but it missed the mark. Our server was friendly and engaging, and we particularly enjoyed chatting with the server assistant. My biggest issue however, with the experience was that each of us ended up paying about $150 each for the meal. I don't mind paying for quality cuisine but two hours later I was hungry and I was warming up chicken nuggets in my toaster oven. It just wasn't enough food for me.
Great food, but just an overall rip-off
First, the food was really good here, so don't get me wrong. The issue is just the portion sizes. Shareable family style means that it is enough to share, at least I thought so. Our table of 4 was having to take one little portion of an entree plate that came out and divide it up. It's really embarassing how little food is provided. With the labnehs we had to ADD a pita and got ONE for 4 people. With the Uni Toast we had to get 2 orders for $58 for one tiny little piece of bread each.... (It was good as I said) The pasta dish was excellent, but for 2x the price and 1/4 of the portion size of other resturants, it just sours the whole experience. Oh and of course the entrees are ala carte so you don't even get a few veggies with it which cost nothing. Finally, the server explained everything so fast and when we were talking that a lot is missed. When the bill finally came there is 20% (+4%) gratuity already included which I missed. So I had to call back later and have that adjusted. Our service was not 20% worth, and I especially don't like when it is added by default avoiding letting the customer determine the quality of service. I suppose this experience is good to remember to be vigilent when choosing resturants and look out for blantant rip-offs, no matter the quality of the taste. Most expensive resturant bill I've had here and I left feeling hungry and ate some mac and cheese when I got home.

Took my boyfriend here for his birthday a couple weeks ago! We tried the course dinner, very accommodating. We really enjoyed the service, the staff was so attentive and kind. We had a reservation, recommend making one unless you want to sit in the bar. I loved the combinations for the drinks, the ingredients were so fresh!

Some of the unique items here that I would get over and
Some of the unique items here that I would get over and over again: * Aleppo Chicken: with wonderful sweet and spicy glaze * Duck Breast: extremely crispy and crunchy skin Some of the solid dishes that are just as good elsewhere: * Hummus with Spicy Zhoug * Mediterranean Octopus * Japanese Kanpachi * Crunchy Eqyptian Carrots A dish that I thought was weird (1 star off): * Spaghetti with Lemon and Uni: I have had pasta plus uni and the combination is quite good, however, adding the lemon does not work. The pasta was just weirdly sour. The food here is Mediterranean, but encompasses a little bit of Japanese flavors as well. Both the food and drinks are great. The restaurant is modern and spacious, making me feel way cooler than I actually am when I am here.
Dinner was very good- fish was excellent, service was good.
Vibe was casual. Only 1 star off for a lack of service when it comes to not offering cake service if you want to have a cake brought in for special occasion. Charge us to let is bring a type of cake you don't offer! ;-) I respect a right to make that decision but it comes off as a lower caliber service for the tier of restaurant Callie is, so that was the only thing that surprised us- maybe it's common in the area idk. I read in other reviews the attitude is generally not that accommodating but our experience was okay and friendly.
So good! Food, service and environment.
I definitely had a great experience at this restaurant. The lamb was my favorite dish, so flavorful and perfectly cooked.
Callie was a standout dining experience in San Diego - The
Callie was a standout dining experience in San Diego - The Truffle Pasta was exceptional, especially with the added black truffle flakes on top. The Hamachi Carpaccio and Hummus/Babaganoush with pita was a perfect light second course of the meal. A slight letdown comes with the dessert--Lemon Curd with angel hair sugar flakes. The restaurant's ambiance is elegant, blending contemporary and timeless elements. Efficient, attentive service adds to the overall positive experience. Callie stands out as a go-to spot for those seeking a straightforward, enjoyable five-course meal with a pleasing atmosphere.
In downtown and amazing restaurant parking was very
In downtown and amazing restaurant parking was very difficult. We finally found the parking in the building. Very nice updated. We have reservations attended right away. The ambience and energy of the place was amazing. Lots of specialty dishes. We ordered couple of drinks with tequila. One of them was the beat tequila batata and the lamb chops where amazing we also had the Turkish rice pudding, which was really delicious was a little overpriced but I'm glad that we had the experience
Snagged a reservation at Callie for my partners Birthday
Snagged a reservation at Callie for my partners Birthday and we arrive to a birthday card in the table! The service here is amazing, never an empty water glass, very knowledgeable of the menu, and polite. We came here specifically for their Mediterranean Feast and that is exactly what we ordered. It is 5 courses for two or more people from dips to dessert. Started with a trio of dips: hummus, babaghanoush, and the avocado labneh. All three were lovely. Avocado was so vibrant and citrusy and babaghanoush had a great depth in flavor. Japanese kanpachi: so smooth with a great brightness from the sauce. I could add that sauce to everything. Wild Nettle Scarpinocc: subtle in flavor, could have had more of a punch, but still amazing. Just because it wasn't my favorite of the entire dinner doesn't mean it wasn't delicious. Crunchy Egyptian carrots: wow, never thought I'd love carrots this much. They are almost pickled but still had a big crunch. I really enjoyed these carrots. Aleppo chicken: perfectly crispy, perfectly juicy. Lemon pavlova: so interesting! The custard with the meringue with the floss. So many textures. I loved it. I did order an extra rice pudding on top of the feast because it was staring at me from the menu. It did not disappoint. Not too sweet, full of texture from the rice to the pistachios to the bruleed top. This dinner was one for the books and I definitely recommend the feast for an easy experience.
Spent my birthday at Callie and was welcomed to a birthday
Spent my birthday at Callie and was welcomed to a birthday card which was a really nice touch from the restaurant. The interior is really spacious and has both a relaxed and chique aesthetic that I really appreciated. Our server was amazing throughout the evening and he helped us understand how their "Mediterranean Feast" works since we were eyeing that from the beginning. It's basically the best way for you to try a sampling of their menu via a 5-course meal. The waiter informed us of what each dish was going to be a part of the feast (I'm not sure if the selection is the same for every night - I assume not) but in any case we opted for the Mediterranean Feast which for $75/person is a pretty good value. For the starter, we got the Hummus, Babaghanoush, Avocado Labneh, and Pita Bread. The bread was really soft and I thought the babaghanoush was the best dip out of the 3. It was the most flavorful and I really enjoyed it. The hummus was also very good and the avocado labneh had a nice citric touch. The labneh tasteh also gave me a little "green juice" vibes. The other starter was the Japanese Kanpachi which was executed perfectly. The green "hot sauce" was delicious and the fish was really soft and was cut the perfect thickness. The first main course was the Wild Nettle Scarpinocc which had a really good mushroom flavor and delicious cheese. Although a really tasty pasta, it wasn't a big standout dish overall. The second main course was the Aleppo Chicken which was packed with flavor! The meat was cooked perfectly. Super tender, juicy, and moist which is really impressive considering the thickness of some parts of the chicken. This was served with the Crunchy Egyptian Carrots as the side. The carrots were good but flavor-wise nothing too special. I do think that because they came out together, eating the chicken and carrots together was too much acidity. There needed to be a neutral component to help balance out this portion of the meal. Whether that be bread, rice, etc that would have really helped neutralize some of the strong flavors and allowed me to keep eating more. The dessert of the feast was the Meyer Lemon Pavlova which was really fun to eat. The pavlova provided a nice bite texture to the soft meyer lemon pudding. Also there was some floss-like looking accompaniment to the dish that I can only best describe as a fancy version of cotton candy where it melts in your melt. Separately we also ordered the Turkish Rice Pudding. My gf really liked this but to me it was just alright. It had a nice brulee top to it which was different but the flavor was nothing exceptional. I really enjoyed my meal at Callie and would happily return for a special occasion. I love the Mediterranean Feast option since it allows your group to try a variety of dishes without having to spend full price on each dish and if I were to return, I'd opt to do the feast again but with different dishes offered.
Some good and some bad, not worth a visit.
Recently, our group of five ventured into Calle San Diego, eager to dive into their much-raved culinary offerings and the curated Chef’s meal leading one through five courses. We opted for the Chef's Choice, priced at $75 per person, anticipating a feast of fantastic quality and creativity. Instead, we were met with a few incredible highs and too many unfortunate lows. Let's start with the highlights: The hummus, babaghanoush, and pita are the best in San Diego. Each bite was a delightful journey through rich, creamy textures and perfectly balanced flavors. However, not all was smooth sailing. The hangar steak was a letdown, with an odd texture and lack of flavor, failing to live up to the standard set by the rest of the meal. A notable mention must be made of the duck ragu – a dish that shone brightly among the courses. Unfortunately, this high was met with a low when we tasted the agnolotti – it was so excessively salty that it crossed into the realm of inedibility. An unsettling aspect of our experience was the chef's presence. Rather than visiting our table, which was right in front of the open kitchen, he observed us from behind the counter throughout our meal, lending a somewhat uncomfortable air to our dining experience. A point of contention was the billing strategy. The restaurant adds a service charge to cover labor costs – an unnecessary practice. Adjusting menu prices would be a more transparent approach. Additionally, a mandatory 20% gratuity was included, which we felt contributed to the subpar service we received. One incident that stood out was when a member of our party requested ice for his water. The bus person's outright refusal by shaking her head no, followed by the need to involve the manager, was a service faux pas. The staff's eagerness to clear our table while we were eating and their premature offer of to-go boxes while we were still enjoying our last course added to the feeling of being rushed. This was particularly perplexing given that the restaurant was still a third full and nowhere near closing time. In conclusion, while Calle San Diego does offer some culinary delights, the overall experience could be better served by more consistent dishes and a less-than-ideal service approach. For those looking to explore San Diego's dining scene, there are undoubtedly many other establishments that promise a more harmonious and satisfying experience.
A hopping new place
One of us had made a reservation, which included a deposit. We parked in the adjacent parking garage, and the parking was paid for by the restaurant. We were seated in a busy, noisy room. Our server explained that sharing food was the usual there. We ordered some fancy cocktails. We shared our first course. Best of that course was the beet salad. The four of us each chose an entre from duck to shrimp to pasta. All were very good, but maybe not worth the prices.
Delicious food all around
Food was exceptional, in particular squid ink pasta, tuna tartare, pumpkin pasta, ricotta & focaccia starter, and drinks. Dessert was very small though.
It's Too Spicy and Expensive
The food was expensive. The drinks were very small pours. It is so noisey that you can hardly hear the person in front of you without leaning in and straining to hear. The main course didn't come with any hint of a vegetable at all, not even 1 or 2 small pieces of anything. The shaved carrots tasted like you were eating vinegar and were not to my taste whatsoever. They automatically charge you 20% gratuity for the waiter who could be horrible or good which I don't think is any incentive for them to be a good waiter because they get 20% regardless. And then they charge you a 4% fee which again is for the servicing which you have no choice over. Who gets this and what is it really for, and is this legal to charge this additional fee? There was way too much time before we would see the waiter. The gave us our silverware in a box on the table for each of us to take out of the box instead of giving each person their silverware which I found to be lazy and not great service. Most of the food on the menu wasn't to my liking from the description except for one item on the entire menu. If not for this one item, there would have been nothing for me to order. All the food seems to be spicy and the others said their food was too spicy. They do pick up parking which is the only plus I found in the entire experience. Needless to say, I would never go back to this restraunt or recommend this restaurant to anyone for any reason.
Atmosphere: trendy, classy, big and loud. Service: excellent. Food: excellent.
Amazing all around atmosphere, service and food. If you want a certain day and time make reservations in advance on TOCK, in addition there is a $21. security reservation deposit which is deducted from the bill upon your arrival. I had made 7:15 Wednesday night dinner reservations for two. Upon arrival, we were greeted and seated at a table for 2. The restaurant is beautiful, big and loud. Conner our server was amazing, very nice, informative and attentive. The restaurant is "Modern Mediterranean". Conner recommend family style sharing 3-4 dishes. When my friend and I travel we tend to share a lot so we can order and taste a variety of dishes anyway. We ordered cocktails, the Late Bloomer and the De La Montana, while looking over the menu... cocktails were amazing! LOL, since it was just the 2 of us, I went for the hard core dishes to try. We started off with the Beef Tartare, then moved to the Harissa Grilled Lamb Chops and Duck. I'm not a big Carb person, but I did order the House Pita with the Call Fire Hot Sauce for my friend. Honestly, with those dishes it was perfect, the duck breast was a whole breast and there were 4 meaty lamb ribs. The dishes were excellent. Loved all the flavors. Atmosphere: trendy, classy, big and loud. Service: excellent. Food: excellent.
Pretentious and overpriced !
The tiniest portions of food I have ever seen. The advice from the server was to dine ‘family style’ and with that in mind we ordered a few appetizers from the brads and spreads menu. A single whole pita was served with the minuscule smear of babaganoush, which I then had to cut into small pieces to share. The other appetizers were equally tiny and equally as expensive. We all decided that we would order an entree each…….of course these didn’t come with veggies! The crispy potatoes were like croutons that you couldn’t get a fork into, and the carrots, were wafer thin raw slices in a bitter sauce. The plate of mushrooms was so tiny that only two servings could be obtained by scraping around the bowl. The service was good and the wait staff helpful, but I got the impression that it was a place to be seen in rather than a place to enjoy. Extraordinarily expensive too! Will not go back.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.

Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
