The story
A Hamptons hideaway with a Cycladic soul, Calissa is where spirited crowds gather for abundant Greek feasts, flowing wine, and unforgettable nights that hum with energy. At the heart of it all: generous Greek cooking, curated wines, and the unmistakable warmth of a place built to bring people together.
The dinner menu is a showcase of the Aegean, beginning with a selection of mezze like Santorini Fava, Tzatziki, and Kafteri—roasted hot peppers with whipped Arahova feta. Appetizers include a quartet of crudos served simply with extra virgin olive oil from Crete, Greek sea salt, and lemon. Entrees range from a whole branzino for the table to dayboat swordfish from Rhode Island and pasture-raised lamb chops from Australia. Sides such as lemon potatoes and sautéed horta greens round out the meal. For dessert, Baklava with walnuts and honey shares the menu with a Calissa Sundae and Whipped Greek Yogurt with cherry spoon sweet.
Calissa's wine and beverage program is a vibrant tribute to the Mediterranean, thoughtfully curated to complement its Aegean-inspired cuisine. The wine list, honored annually with Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence, spans selections from all corners of the Mediterranean.
Beyond the dining room, Calissa offers live music and events, private dining spaces, and even a yacht experience—Calissa at Sea with Yacht Hampton—featuring platters of lobster rolls, tuna tartare, and watermelon feta salad. Whether for a large group celebration or an intimate dinner, this Greek restaurant in Water Mill brings people together for dining, drinking, and dancing under the stars.
