    I recently made dinner reservations for myself and a friend, and we were both excited to try this restaurant based on the photos and positive reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived. Despite requesting a booth in my reservation, we were not accommodated. My friend, who arrived earlier while I parked, waited 30 minutes without receiving any service. When I inquired about our booth request, the hostesses were dismissive and unprofessional, responding with, “If you want me to kick people out of their tables, I can’t get you a booth or an indoor table.” We were ultimately seated outside in an undesirable corner facing the sidewalk, with loud music making conversation difficult. Even then, we waited an additional 15 minutes, totaling 45 minutes without service, before deciding to leave. The environment was more of a club scene, crowded and noisy, with limited space and a party-oriented atmosphere. The aesthetics also did not match the photos, which may reflect a better ambiance earlier in the day. Thankfully, we found another restaurant where we enjoyed excellent service and dining. If you’re looking for a refined experience with attentive service, this is not the place

    Dear Bianca, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience and that we fell short in providing the service and atmosphere you expected. Your comments about the lack of attention and unprofessional responses from the team are deeply concerning, and I assure you this is not the standard we strive for. I’d greatly appreciate the chance to discuss this further. Please reach out to our manager through our website or give us a call. The Cala Scottsdale Team

    Very good food and service. Brunch on Saturday was a scene for young people drinking and having a great time. Music was so loud it was hard to hear regular conversation, but that seems to fit the vibe of the place.

    The food was fantastic. Creative, beautifully presented, and delicious. The service was excellent our waiter was very attentive and delightful. HOWEVER, the music was far, far too loud. Even the 20 somethings in our group agreed that it was distracting and annoying during brunch. The mix was actually great, and I told the DJ so. However the decibel meter on my phone pegged out at 94 pretty consistently. 70 and below is considered safe, and levels above 85 can actually cause hearing damage. So, take that information and use it as you will. Unfortunately, despite the fabulous food, I will probably not go back.

    Dear Hilary, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food and attentive service. We sincerely apologize for the volume level during your visit. Your concerns are valid, and we’re reviewing this to ensure our atmosphere is enjoyable for all. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide a more balanced experience.

    Great atmosphere and ambiance. We went on a Monday night and it wasn’t busy at all. The food was excellent. All four dishes that everyone had were fantastic. The humus and pita bread appetizer is a must to start off your meal. Would highly recommend Cala!

    Food and service were good. We and our table as well got hit and bumped multiple times by multiple intoxicated individuals. Security or bouncer looking staff did not care when brought to their attention. Very loud and packed hallways. Good luck getting to the restrooms. You have to come face to face and bump people like inside a College town club to find your way.

    Dear Farbod, thank you for sharing your experience. While we’re glad you enjoyed the food and service, we sincerely apologize for the discomfort caused by the atmosphere and lack of attentiveness from security. Your feedback about the crowded hallways and restroom access is invaluable, and we’ll address these concerns to improve our guest experience. If you’d like to discuss this further, please reach out to our manager through our website or by phone. We’d appreciate the opportunity to make it right. Warm regards, The Cala Scottsdale Team

    Came here for dinner with friends Saturday night. Our waitress didn’t know the differences between vegan and vegetarian and didn’t know anything about the pasta dish on the menu, saying it was recently added and fairly new. We ordered a bottle of wine for the table, didn’t let us try before pouring and even the pour was unskilled at best. The food was fairly good but the noise level horrible! There was a large birthday dinner party next to us that got so out of control that they took over half the restaurant with their loud cheers and constant shouts (clearly intoxicated), not only interrupting our own conversation but there were times we gave up on it altogether. Complained to the manager but not much could be done. The place is more of a trend spot - not worth the value for the money if you’re looking to enjoy a great meal, good service and partake in a conversation with your friends. It seems more of a club vibe and younger clientele.

    Dear Lejla, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the food, but we’re sorry the noise level and service fell short of expectations. Your feedback about the wine service and knowledge of the menu is valuable, and we’ll address these areas with our team. If you’d like to discuss further, please reach out to our manager through our website or by phone. We’d appreciate the opportunity to make it right. Warm regards, The Cala Scottsdale Team
