   This is the first time I have been to this place . The place is really busy and seems fun for a young crowd. Had the flaming cheese plate which is a tad salty. The Cala salad is not really cohesive and bitter. I ordered the swordfish for some reason flavors are not cohesive. If they can restructure their menu maybe hire someone who can help them this place has promise to last a long time.

   I enjoyed my food and appetizers. Was surprised to find out there is no bread on the menu especially with all the Mediterranean food on the menu. Noise level was so crazy loud would suggest you sit outside.

   Well, i booked this place 10 days in advance and when we got there we had to wait for 30 mins to be seated, only to get the worst table at the place. They don’t have a good patio set up. The corner tables almost seem like you’re dining at the neighbors patio, just awful arrangement. My friends and I left right away.

   Dear Juan Pablo, we’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. Waiting for a table and feeling dissatisfied with the seating arrangement is not the experience we aim to provide. Your feedback about the patio setup is invaluable, and we’ll use it to improve. Please feel free to reach out to our manager through our website or by phone so we can address your concerns directly. We’d appreciate the opportunity to make things right. Warm regards, The Cala Scottsdale Team

   Enjoyed happy hour. Service, food and cocktails were outstanding. Highly recommend. We have enjoyed dinner there several times but had not been to happy hour.

   I’ve been in before and had a great experience but this time was definitely lacking. We came in for a birthday dinner. When we were offered shots for the birthday we asked that one of them be nonalcoholic for our sober friend. She was given a shot that contained alcohol. She was also given the wrong NA drink that she ordered. Another gal in our party ordered sparkling water and was given a 1L bottle of Pierre with no glass to put it in. We didn’t see the server for almost 20 minutes and had to ask for a glass. And then had to ask for ice for the glass. The whipped feta app we ordered came with one piece of bread cut in half. We asked for more bread so the whole group could enjoy the app and the second piece of bread was dropped 20 minutes later which we had to ask the server to check on. The whole experience was saved by the entrees. Everything we ordered was fabulous

   The restaurant was good but service was slow, our waitress rarely came by to check on us our food was sitting at our table a good 30 mins before they took it away after we finished. We were afraid to order desert because it might take another hour to get out of there.

   We loved our dinner at Cala. It is a trendy, vibrant, lively place full of beautiful people, mostly young, full of young energy. The food was fantastic, and not overpriced at all. We will definitely come again!

   The service was great. It's a nice place for a party, but too noisy if you want to enjoy an intimate dinner. The outdoor seating area is pleasant.

   Dear Connie, thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the service and our outdoor seating area. We understand that the noise level might not be ideal for an intimate dinner, and we appreciate your input. We hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable experience soon!

    The server was horrible. We were the ONLY table in the whole restaurant. She for got our beer after being reminded. Drinks were not refilled until asked several times. The host lied about calling us regarding the lunch/dinner menu. Very frustrating experience for a $500+ meal for a special occasion.

    Dear Denise, we’re very sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration it caused on such an important occasion. This is certainly not the standard we strive for, and we apologize for the lapses in service and communication. If you’re open to discussing this further, please reach out to our manager through our website or by phone. We’d greatly appreciate the opportunity to make things right. Warm regards, The Cala Scottsdale Team
