We went to Calisto's to celebrate Fathersday with the family. It was such a treat. I can really recommended the seafood platter for one, it gives you a taste of everything, and it's even enough to share if you had a starter. Their peri-peri sauce is delicious with anything! The service was excellent. Tumi was friendly and professional. Lovely experience overall. Thanks guys!
The steak and prawn combo is just delicious! Also tried out the calamari and that was equally good. It has a very homely kind of atmosphere and the service is always efficient
Date night with the Mrs. Short And sweet, it was fantastic. We shared a trinchado starter which was tasty. Rump was Tender and cooked to perfection They have a half chicken and 3 queen prawn special that is great value for money and it was delicious. After our bottle of Gazela was done in we were very happy with our experience.Staff are friendly and the ambiance was pleasant. Keep it up guys, we will definitely be back soon

Booked for an early dinner after a show, needless to say the show absolutely terrible and we decided to have our dinner even earlier! Always enjoy Calisto's as i know the brand and quality that goes with it.
Slight hiccup on arrival with waitrons being a bit confused on whether we had a res or not - eventually got sorted and thank goodness we were be assisted by a very knowledgeable and humble waiter, which made us soon forget! Love Love Love the food here, dare i even say i think this is better than the original spot in Gillview??? Prawns to perfection....... and fat! steaks tasty and pasta delicious.
Always been a fan of this franchise and it was another treat to come here. I was only peckish so I opted for their giblets starter and grilled halloumi. I expected a little more with the giblets as they were served in a broth that was bland, almost like just water and salt and the colour was closer to grey which is not an appetising colour. No one else on my table of 9 complained as they enjoyed their various meals from baby chicken (made with the best handmade chips ever tasted) seafood platter and ot was topped off with a great birthday song for my friend. They have a great presence of friendly staff who were very accommodating.
Great restaurant for espetadas, prawns and other seafood, have not been disappointed. Our family loves this place and regularly have oysters there.
Came by for a late lunch on Sunday. The waiter who served us was very friendly and took our orders quite quickly. We ordered the cheesy garlic roll as a starter, and boy was it good! The tangy lemon garlic sauce was divine but it could of done with a little more cheese (you can never have too much). We then ordered chicken prego's with chips for our mains. They arrived and looked yummy! Unfortunately we only realized after having a few bites that the waiter had swapped the mild and the hot (not cool!). The chicken was a little salty, I think that's what happens when you cook the sauce? Not so pleasant to eat. The chips were good and well seasoned and the chili sauce available on the table was pretty good too.. also, if you're looking for a nice strong, tasty cappuccino this is the place to go.
Awesome 1kg prawns with peri peri butter. They were perfectly cooked and separated easily from the shell. Table peri peri jam was very tasty.

The half kilo prince prawns were well worth the R139.95, served with lemon butter and a choice of one side. Nice family restaurant in the square at Silverstar Casino.
The espetada looked great and I thoroughly enjoyed the kingklip thermador I had. They made an extra effort for three people celebrating birthdays and the whole restaurant sang along. It was a really cold evening and the heating inside could have been better.
Calistos is one of our fav restaurants, the food is always great and the service is just as good as the food! We ordered a delicious garlic cheese roll to share but unfortunately didn't take pics as was too delicious to wait for pics, we devoured it the second it hit the table LOL prawns and calamari combi is our go to. 10/10 ❤️
We were surprised to see the variety of dished on their menu. We could choose from a lot of dishes falling in our dietary choice, all at very affordable prices. The atmosphere is very nice and everything is neat and in its place. I will definitely come back to try something different next time.
Beautiful and relaxing place. Food was delicious. The waiter forgot to bring our rolls on our recent visit and that was disappointing since we had taking our mom out and she requested them. 😔
Really busy restaurant good atmosphere and the food is absolutely delicious

I had the 300g rump steak with cheese sauce plus with a side of salad. And my oh my this is where you can say you get your meals worth 😁 the waiters were super kind and professional. And the best names for shots that will leave you laughing 😂 I would definitely recommend this to anyone who hasn't tried a proper steak in their life, honestly Spur has got some competition. Over all this is definitely a 5 star service and meal. 10/10.
The waiter Marvelous was nothing short of brilliant in terms of customer service and putting a group of 11 perfectly togther tucked on the paito. The starts were really amaizng and fresh and the mains kept every bell happy. Well done to the management staff, you have something to be proud of here guys.
Love love this restaurant. The food is amazing I just wish they had cake slices (not cheese cake) , the staff is very kind. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I'll definitely be a regular.
We went there for Christmas lunch and what a great experience. From the moment we stepped in, the staff was friendly and helpful. Service was fast & on point. The food was delicious. And a special thanks to our waitress Bridget. Thank you for making our Christmas lunch special. Your service was excellent.
