   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.

   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.

   Restaurant is beautiful. Hostess was very friendly. Server greeted us right away but after she took our drink order she was MIA. Appetizers came out before we got our drinks. I noticed that the bottle of wine that we had ordered was sitting at the bar waiting to be delivered to our table for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, the manager was standing right next to said bottle of wine and chatting away with some ladies at the bar but never thought to deliver it to us, and the bartender never asked him to run the bottle over to us, because he was too busy visiting with the ladies also. Seemed like they could’ve been off the clock employees? One of the girls was vaping inside the restaurant. For the price point, I was disappointed with the service given that the restaurant was pretty dead on a Sunday night. Food was excellent! Definitely more of a club pre funk vibe.

   Dear Sandra, Thank you for your honest feedback. While we’re thrilled you enjoyed the food and appreciated the warm welcome from our hostess, I’m sorry the service fell short of expectations. Your experience with the delayed wine and inattentiveness is disappointing and not reflective of the standards we strive for. Please reach out to us through our website or call, so we can address this further. Your feedback will help us improve. The Cala Scottsdale Team

   Beautiful restaurant, great music but food was so-so My hummus was bland and the pita was hard, dry around the edges and plopped on top of the hummus - so it was all goopy. The shrimp cocktail was spiced - it was tough and overcooked.
