Calypso – Seafood
Calypso transports diners to a sun-drenched Mediterranean escape where the air is thick with the inviting scents of toasted spices and sizzling garlic. Vibrant mezze platters invite communal grazing, offering a tapestry of textures from velvety baba ghanoush and crisp, golden falafel to the salty-sweet harmony of figs paired with creamy goat cheese. Whether sharing a bubbling skillet of shrimp sagnaki or savoring a robust, herb-flecked beef gyro, guests find themselves immersed in a lively celebration of coastal flavors and warm, spirited hospitality.
