Calusso

Absolutely delicious! The flavors are refined, unique, and beautifully layered — every dish seems to unfold in stages, and you keep discovering something new with every bite. It truly feels like a Michelin-level dining experience. The service was just as impressive — attentive, professional, and genuinely high-level, which is honestly not always easy to find in Miami. 😄 We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Celebrated a birthday on a Friday evening. We had the pleasure of having Catherine & Isabel as our wait staff, although another hostess was just as kind. The evening started slow with a 30 minute wait for cocktails and bread service. Catherine was apologetic and helped the night to improve. We ordered the snacks, oysters and deviled eggs, which were delicious. At times we would observe other waiters standing with trays of food, seemingly unsure where to go? We did the 4 course tasting, and the peach salad was excellent--one of the best thought out salads we've eaten. Our entrees were the salmon and filet mignon, both tasty, as was dessert. The chef honored the evening with complements of a small trio of desserts that were amazing and appreciated. The ambiance was beautiful, looking unto the water and made for a nice evening out.

Amazing experience at Calusso. From start to finish every member of the staff was so kind and attentive, especially our wonderful server Debra. She guided us so well throughout the meal, provided wonderful recommendations and explained each dish in depth. Not a single detail overlooked. A woman dedicated to her craft for sure. Fantastic wine selection, I adored the tableside Negroni experience. Do not skip the foie gras torchon and the hamachi crudo! Just to die for. Calusso is a 10/10 for sure. Can’t wait to come back.

Amazing food and ambiance but the service is severely lacking. Our waiter seemed entirely disinterested in his job, having us sit for 30 minutes before taking our drink order then one of the drinks was missing when they arrived and the runner could not tell us what was what. We were celebrating a birthday and this was made clear in our reservation and when we arrived and yet when we ordered dessert there was not even a candle. When we started singing then the waiter came back with an additional dessert with a candle which was nice but was an afterthought and completely missed the mark. Food that has spilled from the appetizer courses sat on the table until after dessert was served and old drink glasses weren’t cleared as more rounds came. Would not recommend when there are so many options to choose from at that price point that do a good job.

We had various dishes at the bar and overall it was okay. The standouts were the deviled egg and the oysters. The steak tartare was nothing special. The foie gras torchon was good and the jelly very good. It had a nice quiet atmosphere. Waiters are good but the bar tender had a superiority complex and treated the waiters poorly in front of us.
