Customer Reviews

We hosted a combined birthday party here. The food was amazing. What stood out was the assistance in setting up the decor before, the incredible service, responsiveness and care from the waiters during the event, right up until the end with help in carrying all the gifts and ensuring we get home safely. I highly recommend Callisto's Gillview!

I visited this restaurant with friends, the restaurant to have dinner, it was very crowded so we had to wait 15 minutes for a table, but it was worth it. We ordered shrimp, crab, halumi cheese and steak. All the dishes were very tasty, now I understand why such a restaurant is so popular. For dan we ordered fries which together with the company spices were delicious, I bought these spices for home as a souvenir from this visit (I came from Europe).

I wanted to take a moment to share my recent experience at Calistos which has been our favourite spot for food and drinks. Unfortunately during our visit tonight, we encountered an issue with the champagne sangria which didn’t taste like it usually does. We genuinely attempted to enjoy it but despite ordering it before our meal we struggled to finish it alongside our food. We brought this concern to our waiter’s attention who appeared to be new or in training. We appreciate that everyone deserves a fair chance to master their craft. No complains about that at all , even though we did notice some errors in his service including him spilling our drink while pouring it. No big deal , so when our waiter involved his manager about our sangria , we found it odd that the manager came to ask us what “we needed from the sangria” we are not mixologist nor barman’s , we are just customers looking for our favourite taste from our favourite drink that we’ve come to love. It felt somewhat disheartening to be asked that . On a positive note , we managed to switch to another drink that turned out nicely. We also made a quick stop at Calistos Gold Reef City after for a sangria moment before heading home . we will definitely be coming back as we appreciate the food and good services from waitresses like Dorothy , we are just uncertain about having sangria there again. Thank you for taking the time to read about our experience. We look forward to our future visits, hopefully with a better experience regarding sangria.
