The food was well prepared, high quality, and creative. Spectacular ambiance and views. Service was attentive without being intrusive. The only issue was with the dessert we ordered. A honey desert with lemon gelato. The finished preparing the dessert with an excessive amount of shaved parmigiana cheese which over powered the flavor and left a bad aftertaste. It was a complete flop.

Very nice facility - and that's about it. Food was average, at best. I get they have a huge renovation bill to pay but $200 for 1 drink, 1 app, 1 pasta and 1 entree. If the food were better, I wouldn't mind. Will go back to Pier 66 and maybe try another restaurant but not Calusso.

Absolutely delightful experience!! Our group shared the octopus, burrata, lobster, IBÉRICO PLUMA, and filet. EVERYTHING was fabulous!!! We shared a trio of desserts which were equally amazing! We sat on the Terrance at sunset with a spectacular view of the marina. Thanks Gary and Juan for making our evening so memorable.

Beautiful restaurant and excellent service. Food is very good, but still some work to do to justify the price point—which is expensive.
