    How nice it was to revisit this iconic establishment after so many years of being under construction. The attention to detail far surpassed any of my expectations and I look forward to DINING repeatedly. It’s a wonderful change to have a restaurant of this caliber back in my neighborhood And I am looking forward to revisiting the top of this restaurant next month when it opens. It is refreshing to have a restaurant which requires people to dress for dinner and cocktails like back in the good old days . Our sommelier Stephanie was especially attentive to our wine selection and very helpful in choosing the right wine for the night.

    From the second, you pull up to the valet that you enter the restaurant and walk out to the view in the back you’re absolutely greeted by one of the most amazing experiences and you haven’t even had a thing to eat or drink yet. Service was over the top food was heavenly. And the manager was on top of every aspect of the operation. Chef was top-notch. Taste combinations were out of this world.

    This is our third time dining at Calusso we love the restaurant but the service unfortunately is slow. Had to request bread basket and water and water refills. Meal took 3 hours from start to finish which is a bit long for us. The food quality is fantastic. I really hope they figure out how to tighten things up. The view and ambience are great
