Calista Greek Taverna: Pleasant, Polished, and Passing
Calista Greek Taverna presents itself as a modern Greek escape—bright, coastal, and unfussy. The room is airy and comfortable, with a lively but controlled energy that suits Coral Gables well, making it an easy choice for a casual night out or an efficient prix fixe meal.
The Greek spreads were the highlight: tzatziki cool and balanced, skordalia assertively garlicky with a pleasing nuttiness, and melitzanosalata smoky and smooth, all well matched with warm pita. A Greek salad, though fresh, arrived undersized. For mains, branzino was simply prepared and clean-tasting, while grilled salmon leaned safe but competently executed. Dessert—Greek yogurt with sour cherry preserves—was gently tangy and refreshing, ending the meal on a restrained note.
Service was attentive without hovering, paced for conversation rather than ceremony. Calista doesn’t push boundaries, but it doesn’t stumble either. It’s a reliable stop—pleasant, efficient, and familiar—worth revisiting for a quick, well-run meal, though not a place that demands a return pilgrimage.

Loved this place! The food was amazing I had the chicken kebab and lemon and potatoes. Both were spectacular and flavorful! Greek salad was great I had several servings! My hubby had the Makoussa and he loved his meal!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Calista Greek – Coral Gables
We had an amazing first experience at Calista Greek in Coral Gables! We sat outside, and the atmosphere alone made the evening special — a beautiful night, perfect for dining al fresco.
To start, we shared the Greek Salad, and it was absolutely delicious — fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. For our entrées, my wife ordered the Moussaka and I went with the Chicken Kebab. Both dishes were outstanding! The portions were generous (so generous we ended up taking food home), and everything tasted authentic and perfectly seasoned.
This was our first visit, but definitely not our last. Next time we’re in the Gables, we’re absolutely coming back to Calista. Highly recommend!

My wife and I recently visited your restaurant for the first time. We ordered the branzino lunch special, which was served with beets.
We were very impressed with the meal; the portion size was generous and the flavors were excellent. We also found it to be a great value at $35.00.

I came all the way from Maryland to try this place out based on a YouTube recommendation. It did not disappoint. The food was amazing, creative and flavorful. The staff was super friendly and the ambiance was exactly what I was looking for! I felt like I was back in Greece, in the Homeland! As a Greek, I am very picky about Greek restaurants in the USA and this one absolutely makes all of us Greeks proud!

My birthday lunch was made even more special by the food and wonderful service. There was no Moussaka available, but we went with the appetizers. Portions are large. Saganaki (fried cheese) was surprisingly tasty. The Keftedes (meatballs) were delicious. The Greek salad was fresh and a portion large enough for three. The only disappointment was the calamari. We found it dry and chewy. I would avoid it. They offered us dessert on the house to make up for it. A shout out to Stefanos and Gabriel. They were the best. Great service like theirs is why eating out is a pleasure. A wonderful birthday indeed

Calista is still the best, most authentic greek restaurant in Miami. Greek decor, Greek music, authentic greek food, mostly Greek staff and greek owners. The food is delicious and if for some reason you don’t like it they, without questions, will bring you anything else you choose. The prices are extremely reasonable, which is worth mentioning since most restaurants in Miami have gone through the roof in the past couple if years.The owners are very hands on and always there talking and engaging with customers. Don’t let the couple bad reviews from the Karens in here deter you from going. I say go experience it for yourself.

As a Miami local who dines out often, I’m selective about where I become a regular and Calista has absolutely earned it. I eat here at least once a week, and the consistency is impressive. The Greek salad is always fresh, the keftedes are flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the branzino is light, clean, and done to perfection every time. Great service, a refined yet relaxed atmosphere, and both indoor and outdoor dining make it an easy go-to. Calista never misses.

This restaurant was a 100% disappointment.
It started with a greasy, dirty menu and cheap plastic salt and pepper shakers on the table.
The food was terrible. A $23 salad with a cucumber of extremely poor quality — I wouldn’t even buy something like that for home. The entire salad had only two olives. The asparagus was impossible to eat: raw, tough, and with untrimmed ends.
The restaurant charges fine-dining prices, but the interior and food quality are more like a cheap diner. I honestly don’t understand why people come here. There are nearby places that respect their customers — with a pleasant atmosphere, nice interiors, and, most importantly, good food.
I would fire this chef without hesitation.

Fantastic seafood-centered Greek food with great service and beautiful atmosphere.
We had a big family style meal where the highlights were the Branzino, Pink Snapper, and Lemon Potatoes. We had one of every side as well as the 5 dip spread as an appetizer. The potatoes were unlike any I’ve ever had; only describable as decadent and addicting. The branzino was perfectly cooked, very buttery and smooth.
The meal took a little bit, but it’s Friday night and the service more than made up for it.
If you’re looking for good seafood and great Greek music, Calista is the spot for you.
I’m definitely going to be returning when I come back to Miami to try the flounder.
