Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Cala Scottsdale offers "great food" with standout dishes like hummus and mezze platters. The ambiance is vibrant and lively, perfect for a "fun atmosphere" with music and a young crowd. However, it can be "very loud," making conversation challenging. Service varies, but standout servers like Juan receive praise.

    The restaurant looks fancy, but the food is mediocre at best. The menu is limited, prices are outrageously high, and service is painfully slow. Definitely not worth the money—a total rip-off!

    Would NOT recommend. From service, to pricing to quality this place is terrible. Came for brunch and ended up leaving after having only one $23 svedka Bloody Mary. Wouldn’t take my worst enemy here. Soooo many better brunch places in old town Scottsdale.

    The energy was evident from the moment we walked in the door! Although the hostess on duty was less than exuberant, the rest of the staff especially our server, Jordan, were so friendly and accommodating and more than made up for it! This was our first time at CALA and we came to their Saturday Brunch to celebrate our friend's birthday! The ambience was so fun and lively and the decor is so beautiful and inviting - we all really loved it! Add in the fun factor, the great service and super delicious and innovative food options, and you've got a party! Thank you for a truly wonderful afternoon of celebrating and great food and drinks! Highly recommend!

    Dear Patty, Thank you for celebrating with us! We're thrilled you felt the energy from the moment you walked in and that Jordan and the rest of the team made your experience so enjoyable. We appreciate your kind words about the ambiance, food, and service. Your feedback means the world to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another lively brunch! Warm regards, The Cala Scottsdale Team

    The food was great & our server was nice, but the management completely ruined the experience. I went with 4 friends to dinner and literally 2-3 minutes after paying our bill, the manager came over to tell us there was another reservation for that table. We told him we would finish our drinks and head out. Then, another man came over and told us the same thing. The first man, Nate then comes over for a second time.. mind you this was all in a span of like 15 minutes. This time, Nate was incredibly rude. He told us to leave and when one of the girls asked his name he put his hand across the table to “shake hands” in a completely condescending manner. I understand that there are reservation time limits, but 3 of my friends still had half full drinks.. you should allow reasonable time to finish them. It’s not like anyone wants to chug a martini. Typically, a manager is supposed to make sure that the restaurant guest are having a good experience, but this guy took our positive experience and ruined it.

    Dear Emily, Thank you for sharing your experience. While we’re glad you enjoyed the food and service, we’re truly sorry that your evening ended on a frustrating note. We always aim for a smooth and hospitable experience, and we regret that you felt rushed. We’d love the chance to discuss this further—please reach out to our manager through our website or give us a call. The Cala Scottsdale Team

    Ambiance was nice and we were close to the open air area. Service was poor throughout the evening. We ordered salads and entrees came right after getting the salads. Entrees were initially lukewarm, but definitely cold by the time we ate them. I feel the restaurant could easily improve in the areas mentioned and it would be a much better experience.

    We all enjoyed our drinks and meals. Only complaint was the noise level and the amount of food in my pasta dish which was a quite sparse for the price.

    Decor was nice, music was very high volume. I was surprised they do not offer a corkage fee-I like bringing my own wine. Service was a bit slow, but the food was good. Lamb shank very good and the fungi pizza
