Callie Restaurant

Directions Website

Callie Restaurant Chef Travis Swikard fell for the flavors of Greece, Spain, Italy, Morocco, the Middle East, and ever Cuisine du soleil. Callie is greek for ‘the most beautiful.’

Chef Travis Swikard fell for the flavors of Greece, Spain, Italy, Morocco, the Middle East, and every place along the Mediterranean coastline during his time cooking at iconic French chef Daniel Boulud’s NYC restaurant, Boulud Sud. At Callie he brings the diversity of Mediterranean cuisines together with the ingredients and terroir of the greater San Diego region, his hometown. Callie puts the farmers, fisherman, and ingredients of the greater San Diego region at the forefront, and blends them with a Mediterranean palette. At Callie, the two come together to create light, bright, and bold flavors.

Golden State ✨ This cocktail is what we imagine a sunset tastes like and is definitely worth a try!⁠
⁠
Imagine a saffron infused Gray Whale Gin combined with apricot liqueur, and manzanilla sherry before a touch of citrus is added to balance the cocktail out. Have you tried it before?

Team Callie: Jameson, Dining Room Manager ✨⁠
⁠
Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Jameson’s path took her from studying business and psychology to realizing food and hospitality were where she belonged.⁠
⁠
She went on to study Culinary Arts at the CIA at Greystone, work at Robert Mondavi Winery, and eventually make her way back to California and Callie.⁠
⁠
What brought her here? A shared love for locally sourced, seasonal food and the kind of hospitality that reminds her of family dinners growing up.⁠
⁠
Fun fact: Jameson was a cheerleader and competitive dancer, and is a self-proclaimed pop culture nerd. 🤓⁠
⁠
Be sure to say hi next time you see her at Callie! 🤍
