I highly recommend using the underground parking garage to avoid the angry vagrants on each corner. Also, they recommend you order multiple dishes per person because their portions are tiny. Just make sure you have a high limit credit card.

Really don't even write yelp reviews but I wanted the staff to know how much they made my birthday. Food and drinks were phenomenal. Every course was cherished, but god damn that toro toast. The staff really made it this time. Derrick is hands
Just sat at the bar before a Padres game but WOW.
Not inly are the cocktails amazing but the selection of tequilas and mezcals is top shelf too. Bartenders are very knowledgeable and can custom make drinks. Our drinks were the Tulum with Love, tad sweet for me but good, and the Kook Juice we which t

TLDR: good luck getting a Michelin star with that attitude and food all while putting a mandatory 25% tip. I was so excited to try Callie, a relatively new and rising restaurant in the SD restaurant scene. First of all, the parking is SO confusin

We were in the city for the night looking for a place to celebrate and this ended up fitting the bill pretty well. The staff were so so friendly and really worked to make it a special nice and the meal ended up being pretty good, not spectacular but
The food was beautifully delicious.
It's looks good and tastes even better. The service was fast and the ambiance very cozy.
Get the chicken.
Seriously. Just order it. Don't veer from it. Just get the chicken. Service was A+ both from the server and the server assistant whom had a trainee on her hip. Good job. Yall get paid well and that reflects on your ability to work well. It

(10/10) Callie is absolutely outstanding! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The food was flavorful, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection definitely some of the best Mediterranean I've had. The ambiance of the restaurant i
The food here was absolutely amazing.
All the flavors were thoughtfully curated and matched for a perfect gastronomic experience. I had to try the clarified margarita, which was its own fun experience. We enjoyed the crispy focaccia with whipped ricotta, patatas bravas, Aleppo chicken, a

My friend came to visit from SF and since Callie is just a short walk from my apartment, we decided to check it out. We went for the Mediterranean Feast and it was such a great choice -- every dish came out full of flavor and felt really thoughtful.
Expensive Restaurant
It is a fairly expensive restaurant not in terms of price but the portion sizes. The portion sizes are small even though the menu encourages family style dining. For four of us the total came to $300 without any drinks. The food was good. Also the ki
A super cool Mediterranean restaurant.
Except for the parking garage difficulties, we loved it all!! Super modern, hipster vibe and highly creative and delicious Mediterrean menu. From the extraordinary Egyptian carrots to the amazing caccio de pepe (they did it for us gluten free, ya
Surprised by the flavors! Maybe the best flavors in San Diego!
We went for dinner, and we were absolutely surprised by all the taste and flavors of all plates. Specially the legumes, the plate look simple, but it is absolutely delicious! Try everything you can, there is no mistake!
Rip off policies and shrink-flation at Callie
I have been to Callie 5 times and will not be coming back because of rip-off policies and "shrink-flation". I booked a reservation over the phone for Christmas Eve and was not informed that the menu was pre-fixe menu. The hostesses who sa
Better with more than 2 people so you can try several plates
My sweet friends took me out to my first time in Callie for my birthday and I had a great experience. Now I know why people rave about this restaurant so much! When we arrived, there was a birthday card for me on the table which was a nice touch. Don
High marks well-deserved
Expensive? Yup Some very small portions? Also yup Worth it? Most definitely! Fabulous pan-Mediterranean cuisine beautifully presented and flavorful. Worth the journey to San Diego’s East Village for one dish alone: the Aleppo chicken. The best ever
A really special meal!
Hard to imagine how anyone would have anything bad to say about this place based on our experience tonight! We had called because they were fully booked for this evening…a good sign…and were told we could come and land bar seating. We did, and it
Overall, the ambience inside the restaurant is excellent.
Service was fine. I liked that they had a whole array of non-alcoholic drinks to choose from. We chose not to have the feast. The entree they provided in the feast was chicken yesterday and we were more interested in trying the octopus and dolmas.
Big beautiful space.
The bar was especially gorgeously built and it. We git the duck and the eggplant caviar and it was very good. Great service.
The Aleppo Chicken was great! Meat was tender and crispy
The Aleppo Chicken was great! Meat was tender and crispy outside, the flavor was unique and taste awesome. Service was great!
Loved the decor.
Felt super trendy and chic. Service was attentive and friendly. Food was so so so good. Best meal we had in San Diego. Almost everything was 5/5! Hummus 4/5 but we had to have the garlic and sauce they normally include on the side since it wasn't v
This place is amazing.
Just try it. Food is incredible. Service is organized and attentive. Plus it's a lovely restaurant. Can't wait to go back!
We did the prix-fixe.
Was very impressed with the attention to detail and unique flavor combinations. Service was superb as well. It was a lot of food so you don't go home hungry.
Love their season special - garlic prawns with bread.
I've gone back just for this dish.

Pleasantly surprised to find this GEM! Remarkable food with five star care taken with each ingredient and method. Delicious flavor and five star service. Chicken was amazing so were the apps. Well worth a visit.
Great food and menu options.
The hummus was delicious. Cocktails were very good. Pricey

Middle East meets America at its best
Superb dining with dishes made to share. Extremely well cooked and meat so tender that it melts. This goes for the chicken (a must), the duck breast and the lamb chops (my rival favorite). Few, but good wines by the glass and an extensive wine list i
Definitely worth the price
everything was fantastic, from the food to the location to the service. One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. It was expensive, but some time you get what you pay for. The staff all seemed to be having a good time, so hopefully that mea
Elevated dining experience
What an enjoyable night out. We arrived at our reservation time, were warmly welcomed and seated promptly. Started with a non-alcoholic Negroni which was refreshing. We asked to share the drink and they split the drink into two for us. Sampled the h

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
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 pla
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 ho

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
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.
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

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
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.
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
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 Wed
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 bab
Really Disappointed
Second (and last) time we dine at Callie. They sell the family style to serve small end expensive portions along with $35 wine corkage. When your hot, you can get arrogant. We brought in our own wine and had opened the bottle to decant and replace
Ehhh I would skip dinner but for for drinks
The drinks were great. We got the Negroni and the tau Maru. And the wine! I would go back for any day. The food was good, it just wasn’t knock your socks off, which is what I had expected. We had the veggies/avacado labneh, kanapachi, tomato fatt
Connect with users posting reservations for Callie San Diego
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Callie San Diego. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Callie San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Callie San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Callie San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Callie San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
