“In town for second night and in search of a new place I used YELP. Calla came up with interesting reviews so off to Calla we went. The restaurant is on the second floor of a small French revival styled building in a mixed residential /commercial subdivision. Needless to say it's an attractive community, clean and nicely landscaped with other businesses worth trying Once we arrived by elevator to the second floor we chose outdoor eating. In door looked comfortable but the outdoor is great. The screened in porch keeps away bugs, it's heated with fans also and has soft theme lighting Our server Camille took good care of us. Calla has an excellent lineup of custom cocktails but I went with wine We started with the wedge salad, a nice portion of a head of iceberg lettuce with cherry tomatos, pickled red onion and instead of bacon they do thick cut pork lardons The pickled onions and lardons were a great twist on a wedge salad and the blue cheese dressing had the proper punch to it - definitely homemade. We also had the assortment of house breads a piece of foccaccia , olive rosemary and sourdough with two custom butters . The bread was good but note although it's custom it's not alot and it's considered an appetizer so your gonna pay for it where other restaurants may offer it complimentary For entrees we had the fish of the day, redfish with crab meat and an herb sauce - I thought this was excellent my guest would have preferred it less dressed to appreciate the fish more : tomato/potato to each their own I went with a handheld - the crispy chicken. Sandwich with honey Sriracha sauce, picked red onions, pickles, bacon strips and a sub on the side ...macaroni and cheese instead of fries. DANG. . One of the more memorable sandwiches I've had. Chicken breast was juicy and perfectly fried crispy- piping hot. Sriracha and pickled onions had that sweet and sour punch - this Sandwich size was the FULL PORTION. Mac and cheese side was SO savory. Hot and just cooked to order it too came with lardons - high end custom Mac and cheese for sure Great restaurant with little to pick on I would definitely visit again“
