Pineapple martini and MaCallan 15.

Brunch day!!! Appetizer and meal are amazing delicious; The staff on point. Shout out to my guy "Christiano" Family friendly and the drinks are on point.

Bone was bigger than the meat but still plenty.

Finally made it back to try dinner menu. Everything was great. Bone marrow tartare was outstanding! What a fantastic way to pair marrow. So good hope they keep that on their menu. Had the iberico pork and it was also delicious. Bone was bigger than the meat but still plenty. Tried the oysters which were fried crispy and the onions and jalepenp were great mix. The truffle pasta dish was great. The burger was so good would like to have a fully loaded one. Just everything we ordered was great. Look forward to coming back

Head of wedge .pickled onions, lardons and cherry tomatoes

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

Lovely find. It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. Christiano took amazing care of us, even anticipated things we needed before we even asked. Hubby had the stuffed quail and I had the mushroom truffle pasta, sharing the seasonal vegetables topped with Barrera, amazing!!! Such a friendly and welcoming space.

I suggest making reservations. Food and service were excellent. Bar service was also very good. I had filet and it was cooked to perfection. Hubby had red fish and was also excellent.

Chicken sandwich Baked Mac and Cheese

Literally so good!! Pics & food were awesome! Went for our friends birthday and had a great time! The food was really big portions also! My friend and I got the loaded fries and chicken sandwich. We split and still had left overs! We sat outside and the weather was beautiful! Our waiter was very attentive and checked on us constantly! She also made great recommendations which made our experience even better. We also got drinks (not pictured). I'm pretty sure it was called the Lavender Vanilla Mimosa. I could drink 10 of them they were so good! Not super strong but just right! We also got another drink (purple color, I forgot the name) it was delicious but the Lavender Vanilla Mimosa was better!!!!

Mushroom Pasta with Shrimp
Lauren P.

Heard about Calla through a popular Reddit thread for Lake Charles. We enjoyed our first drink, the Cucumber Martini. Would not recommend the blue crab beignets- lacked flavor. Redfish entree was super small for the $$. Mushroom pasta and Cheesecake off menu was great! Overall 6/10.

My time at Calla wasn't as impressive as I hoped. We aimed for a light lunch, ordering a stuffed quail, two appetizers, and a dessert for our group of four. The quail turned out very rare, and when I asked, the waitress said that's how it's meant to be, which was a letdown since I've had quail cooked differently before. The appetizers, especially the crab beignets, were the highlights--they were really good. The dessert, brownies, was so messy in plating but came in a big portion. One great thing was the friendly staff, and the place looked clean and well-kept.

Seafood gumbo with small scoop of white rice. Consists of:  lump crab, tender venison, a piece of sausage, and a piece of duck

Calla is a small, elegant restaurant on the second floor of a building. It is clean and more on the high-end of casual dining. The front desk and servers were polite and helpful with menu suggestions. Although there aren't a lot of menu options, the couple of items we ordered did taste good! A couple of us got an off-the menu item which was the Seafood gumbo that had lump crab, tender venison, a piece of duck, and a piece of sausage. The roux was very rich and flavorful! This spot is a little on the pricier side, but I do recommend. My dish was about $25 for a bowl.

Fried Oysters

We stumbled upon this place and I'm so glad we did! The ambiance is amazing if you like that intimate upscale but country living vibe. The music is amazing and definitely helps to set the tone. Our server was extremely patient and explained the concept of the restaurant as well as other local vendors that they partner with. It felt good to eat and support a home grown business! The food was fresh and light! The steak was seasoned well and an extremely tender. The fish was also! We even opted to try dessert. I just wish the hot was a little hotter temperature wise, other than that this was a great visit.

Mushroom & Truffle Pasta
Michelle M.

Stopped in here for a late lunch on a Wednesday. I had the Mushroom & Truffle Pasta. The scallops were perfectly cooked, the ingredients were balanced and the sauce and flavors were delicious. I will definitely go back and I can't wait to try more things on the menu.
