   My experience was wonderful I celebrated my birthday here ! The food was good but it was too salty for my liking but otherwise I would come again ❤️ I love the environment and the ambiance 💕

   If you can prix fixe with 2 hour open bar is worth it.

   Gorgeous place! Beautiful decor, super fun vibe, great photo ops everywhere. Great drinks and hookah. Food was decent but not amazing. Waiter was really nice but seemed busy with a lot of tables. Overall we had a really fun time!

   I’ve been to Caldera before and had an amazing experience, but my visit on Friday, November 15th, was absolutely terrible. The service was HORRIBLE. Our waitress clearly couldn’t have cared less about our table. Drinks were messed up, I had to ask for sparkling water multiple times, and we were constantly waving her down for basic service. The restaurant wasn’t even busy, so there’s no excuse for the complete lack of attention. We would have stayed longer and spent more, but the service was so bad that we couldn’t wait to leave. It’s shocking how far the experience has fallen since my first visit. Based on this, I’m not sure I’d bother coming back.

   We were ignored so we left and went to a great Indian Restaurant named, “Essence of Kesar” down the street and had an amazing meal with great service.

   This place is only for the eyes. It is beautifully decorated for amazing pictures. The food was very bland, no taste and dry. The lamb chops were over cooked, the shrimp pasta tasted like fish, the pita bread was burnt and the chicken with rice was bland. The food wasn’t good but what was worse was the service. The place was empty and the server was barely seen. It took too long to get drinks or even ask for drinks. The only reason she even received a big tip was because it’s added when you’re a large group. She didn’t deserve anything because she didn’t do anything. I would not recommend this if you want to eat, if you just want to take pics then it’s perfect.

   I celebrated my Birthday on this place they are valet parking which help so much consider dining on Englewood on weekends, the place is well decorated so many photo ops area, the cocktails is good but food options is not too much, I enjoyed their flavor of their hookah it’s unique, the music is too loud so if you need an Intimate dinner choose the area indoors. We will definitely comeback to hopefully see the dancing show, none that Friday we went.

   The food was good, appetizers is definitely worth ordering, we got the Bronzino and the tacos. The entrées were OK, but for the value of it, I would’ve just stuck with the appetizers. Our waiter was good but too attentive, I kid you not came over to change our drag napkins at least seven times and checked on the food if we were happy with it four times, if you’re looking for a place with loud music, have a good time while having dinner then this is your spot

    We had a great time. Food was delicious and drinks were consistent. The service was great, isince it wasn't too busy, we had full attention from the waitress. Street parking can be challenging so plan ahead.
