Reviews for Calandra's Mediterranean Grill in Fairfield, NJ
This place is ok , I probably wouldn’t go back. It’s missing that wow factor to the food. I had a salmon in vodka sauce. The... dish itself seems like i can make it at home out of a can and throw some prepackaged salmon slices. Not what I would expect froma restaurant with these prices . The place itself looks nice , it does need some up keeping. Especially in the back outside area. I would recommend a different place especially for the money your going to waste here. Not saying the for is bad , butdefinitely not priced accordingly. Read more
I ate here today with 2 friends and it was outstanding! Our server Elias, the owner & all of the other helpful staff were very... attentive and didn’t mind when we stayed longer than a typical turnaround for a table to chat & catch up. We had drinks (lovethe cucumber martini!) apps, entrees (everything was superb!) & dessert (a must!). We cannot wait to go back and experience notonly the excellent food, but the attentive & genuinely friendly service again! Read more
Carlandra's Mediterranean Grill is located within Hampton Inn and Suites Fairfield. I ordered the Pappardelle Vodka. The vodka... sauce was excellent. Nice smooth creaminess with a balance of flavor. The noodles were excellent. The grape tomatoes were cookedyet still maintained their firmness and were very flavorful The dish was very delicious and enjoyable. I would like to orderfrom this restaurant again. Read more
FYI: the name of the restaurant is misleading. They do not serve Mediterranean food. I thought that was what I was getting. The... girls and I got together and went to this restaurant. When we arrived I noticed it was inside of a hotel. We walked in, to seetables set in what seems like a lobby area with a piano player. We went to the hostess and she sat us in the restaurant area bythe kitchen. Jocelyn was our server and she was nice but she was very rushed for some reason. She seemed easily overwhelmed. Westarted with drinks and they had some wines half off and I shared it with one of the girls. The other girls got cocktailsbecause the wine they wanted wasn't half off. For my entrée I got the salmon pasta special. When the food came out it lookedgreat. I dug in and it was a little bland. I had to put a lot of salt and pepper so I could enjoy more. The girls said theirmeals were good but one said it was bland also. The bill was very reasonable. All in all I had an ok time. Read more
Beautiful setting and all the items we ordered tasted really good. Service staff were a little rushed but friendly and... professional. Taking 1 star mostly because the name says Calandra Mediterranean Grill but this is clearly Italian Cuisine, soif you are craving Mediterranean food, this is not the place. Read more
Passed this place on the way to PA and it had good reviews so we stopped. Didn’t know it was in a hotel. It is a gorgeous... restaurant! Beautifully decorated! Very clean. Food was wonderful! All staff was very kind!! I had the Melanzana Fritta and mydad had the Pollo Milanese. Very delicious! Would absolutely come back here anytime we’re in the area! Read more
We went to the Mediterranean grill in hopes to find some Mediterranean food but I ended up having creamy mushroom gnocchi and my... husband has the lobster ravioli. The ravioli was amazing but the gnocchi could use some work. The bread is as good asalways. The desserts were amazing too. Would definitely go back for dessert Read more
Me and my friend went there on Tuesday August 9th at 3:40pm. I noticed right away how beautiful this place was, I really enjoy... all the food that we ordered but I wasn’t thrilled with the way this younger bartender treated me and my friend…attitude wasgiving us right away. We never got boxes to take left overs with us even that we asked twice. I will give it another try thoughbecause my friend told me that when she went there previously service was fantastic and there was a life music. Read more
