Came here for a late brunch and was left feeling underwhelmed. It is very aesthetic and the food was tasty, it just seemed overpriced for the outcome. The CALA crudite had a fun presentation, but nearly $40 for tzatziki and a small selection of chopped vegetables left much of be desired. The burger was good, but nothing memorable. Service was extremely slow as well. I would say it is a pretty restaurant with some good food, but note that you are paying for the hype and aesthetics. read more

Mixed feelings about this spot. The decor is really cute, and we genuinely enjoyed the drinks and food we ordered. The main issue was the music--it was extremely loud. We're in our late 20s and definitely enjoy a lively atmosphere, but the volume felt more like a nightclub than a Thursday dinner at 6 p.m. We ended up asking to be moved outside because we couldn't hear each other, but even out there it was still very loud. At that time the crowd seemed mostly 40s and up, so the intensity of the music felt a bit unnecessary. I can understand that vibe later in the evening on a weekend, but for an early dinner it was honestly the loudest restaurant experience I've had. read more

This was definitely THE bachelorette dinner hot spot! We went as a group of 11 for a bachelorette party that we pre booked a month or two in advance. It made it really easy to pre plan the meals so we wouldn't have to deal with ordering, separate checks, and trying multiple things. We ordered the: Whipped Ricotta Roasted Cauliflower Ahi Tuna Tartare Lumache alla Vodka Faroe Island Salmon Moroccan Chicken It was a great variation and all had great presentation and flavor. They were also very accommodating to on of our friend's serious dairy allergy. In which they provided some of the dishes as non dairy. But we were also very persistent on checking. We added the Blushing Bride package which including a welcome cocktail, a customized title on the menu, and a champagne toast. It was really cute to see the customization on the menu and the welcome cocktail. They were accommodating for my pregnant sister-in-law in providing a mocktail. Given we needed to reach a minimum within a two hour time slot, we were told to order more cocktails, food, or even a bottle of wine to take home. I guess since we weren't reaching our minimum when getting closer to 2 hours so they brought out a platter of shots with sparklers. And then later brought ice cream with sparklers. We didn't ask for them but we thought it was fine since everyone was already ordering cocktails and we didn't want anymore food. The restaurant had a cute earthy vibe with light colored decor. It had a nice open patio section that made the restaurant feel open throughout. The restaurant itself is attached to a hotel. The place was PACKED and full of other bachelorette parties. So I can now understand why this place popped up when i was doing research for bachelorette parties. It is also closely located to the main bars. So we could save a little money by walking. My only issues were that the music made it really hard to hear/talk. And the final charge on my receipt is a slightly different total than what is showing up in my bank statement. I already got in contact with the restaurant which is being handled. read more

Food is ok, drinks are not that great. Service is 5 star. Portions are small. Bit pricey but great ambiance and they have outdoor seating area which is not open for Breakfast. I would recommend to try lunch or happy hour here read more

We've been to Cala three times now. Overall it's a fair experience. Not great, not terrible. The scene is nice, very lively, and cocktails are good. Food is ok, no standouts but nothing bad. They always seem overwhelmed with the people there, so service suffers greatly. Very slow, very fast during interactions. Sometimes you feel like you're flagging someone down and bothering them . Also the seating situation is weird, no matter what you book you may end up in the bar area or main area, who knows. I'd recommend going for happy hour and skip a date night or brunch. read more

Food & service was great. We had a reservation that was made weeks in advance for a weekend and had to sit in the back banquet room due to weather. The vibes are definitely not the same in that back room. Was there for a Bach party and was given a free shot for the table with a sparkler which was super nice. Not sure if it was for our troubles or just something they regularly do. Would love to go back if it is guaranteed that we are able to sit in the main dining area. read more

This place was really good! Stopped by for Hubs birthday while staying at the hotel. They were able to make me an omelette although it wasn't on the menu. It was so tasty. Had it with a side of breakfast potatoes. Hubs had the French toast with an egg over easy and enjoyed his food as well. Highly recommend! read more

Cala is always a fantastic place, especially for birthdays, anniversaries, or other special occasions. The place does a great business, as seen by the constant flow of people throughout any given night, and their waitstaff are very kind. The chefs are also wonderful, as we've not had a bad meal there in the numerous times we've gone. Highly recommend their flaming saganaki appetizer if you like cheese and toasted bread - you'll never regret ordering it! read more

Cala Scottsdale Review: 3/5 I came here for my birthday brunch after seeing this place hyped for years, and honestly... it was nothing like I imagined. The service was pretty basic--nothing terrible, but definitely not what you'd expect for a spot in Scottsdale with this kind of reputation. I've been to plenty of nicer restaurants in the area, and it just didn't compare. One of the biggest letdowns was the lack of options. There's basically one set menu, and no appetizers unless you commit to their $65 buffet. For brunch, I also expected better drink options--no real coffee menu, just standard drip coffee, which felt surprising for the vibe they're going for. Also worth noting: a 20% tip is automatically added regardless of party size, which I don't mind if the service matches--but it didn't feel justified here. For a birthday celebration, there was nothing special--no complimentary dessert or acknowledgment, which just added to the overall disappointment. The food itself was okay--nothing memorable. I was hungry, so I ate, but it wasn't anything I'd come back for. It honestly felt like the focus was more on alcohol than the food or overall experience. Overall, I wouldn't return. Definitely not the birthday experience I was hoping for. read more

The food was delicious.... However, I decided to write a review because I think this restaurant could benefit from the feedback. Whomever was in charge decided to keep the full restaurant open in temps over 100 F. So, while you're dining, you're sweating and dodging flies buzzing around your food. It's also loud, very loud. I love a good music vibe, but when you can't have conversations with the people you're dining with because the music is so loud, it's a problem. I understand that the restaurant is trying to create a Mediterranean vibe, but this is not the coast of Greece with a cool breeze, it is Arizona! It is hot here! Close the doors in the restaurant and your patrons would be much happier and able to focus on the delicious food and beautiful restaurant. For the price point at Cala, the whole experience should be enjoyed. I was disappointed. So were the women complaining in the restroom that night. read more

Mixed feelings about this place! Some things were good but overall I don't think it matches the ambiance and prices. Love the overall look but it's quite loud, and some of the seating isn't all that practical. Some of the tables have couches that kept moving when people sat down. But I cared more about the noise level! Just a notch down on volume would have been great. The cocktail menu has a lot of options that look good. I had the spicy mango margarita and it's fantastic. Great spice and a really fresh mango nectar. It was the perfect amount of not too sweet. We had the grilled prawns and they were really good. REALLY good. We also had the hummus, which comes with a soft flatbread. This is good but needs something like tomatos and olives and onions. We did add veggies on the side. We then had a walnut pasta and the breakfast burrito. The pasta was OK, not great, but the burrito was a travesty. It was almost all potato! It was supposed to be green chili pork but the only meat was the not-tasty bits around it. For $20++ this was ridiculous. We finished with the butterscotch pudding which had a great presentation and absolutely perfect whipped cream. They did a great job on this! read more

Our Galentines dinner was on point at Cala! I was a little nervous to dine here because of the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised with the service we received from Jess. Cala was absolutely gorgeous, and the vibes transported us to a beach club in Greece or Cabo. We started with the flaming saganaki, which was sizzling salty cheese, slices of focaccia and a fire show. The mez-cala mezcal cocktail was fruit & smokey. Drinks are a little pricey here, averaging between $18-20. For dinner, we shared the braised lamb shank and broccolini. The lamb was FANTASTIC, and it literally fell off the bone. The lamb was deliciously sweet from the tamarind, yet had hints of garlic & lentil which made it savory. This dish is definitely sharable, and worth every penny. I loved the vibe at Cala, and will most definitely return with my husband! read more

I made a reservation for 4 in advance and when we arrived we waited a couple of minutes before the hostess brought us out to the patio, once we arrived at the patio she apologized and said the table had not been cleared like she had thought so she asked us to take a seat at the bar while it is cleared (no problem..) once our table is ready she leads us over and we sit for about 5 minutes before she comes back and tells us she needs us to move! She points over to a table that is not in as good of a location because it's on the corner right next to the street and in full sun. She explained it was a system error and they had a 12 top coming and really needed us to move, so I asked if they had anything inside. She was very apologetic but it left a bad taste in my mouth.. the server said we could get 2 appetizers on them due to the mix up but it still left me with a bad first impression. read more

Food was amazing! And I absolutely love the happy they have here during the day! Everyday at that :) I can't wait to see the night vibes read more

Weird seating situation when we had a reservation - they took us to a hot sunny place when there were spots inside more comfortable. We were eventually move to a bar area high top. Service was great from then on. Cocktail choices & flavors were great, especially Mango Chili Marg. Whipped feta app was too small for 4, we asked for more bread but it didn't come until we were getting ready to leave, but good. Swordfish was good with best part being the sauce and veg. Roasted cauliflower dish was good but I think they forgot the almonds or perhaps creamed in. Rigatoni was good. The salad had too much pepper for one person, then it was very difficult to get a sub. read more

What a beautiful restaurant with amazing food! The most peaceful breakfast experience I've ever had. The food was beyond delish and honestly massive. I ordered the buttermilk pancakes and they were so good. 10/10. The waitress that helped us was so sweet and helpful in offering selections to our table. We had a reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. The food is beyond, I don't even know how to describe how delicious so I'll share some photos. They had a full bar with a great variety of fun, fancy drinks. We came to celebrate a friends birthday and at the end of the meal offered little birthday shots to everyone at the table. I'm pretty sure that have a different menu for each stage of the day....a breakfast one, a brunch one and then evening. But the menu is also seasonal which is nice! read more

Tried Cala for dinner last night. Made a standard dinner reservation for 3. Hostess is terrible (the brunette with the white dress, very low aptitude OR racist)! Needs to learn how to seat guests. Upon arrival we had an issue with table seating. With about 6 empty 4-top tables in the dining room & patio, she at first tried to seat us at a table by the road. I said nope we are not sitting here. What about all these other nice empty tables? The lady assigned to seat us went back to the host stand where this (frankly idiotic) hostess doubled down and tried to seat us at a high top at the bar. Who does this? I told them nope, not sitting here either. I didn't make a dinner reservation to sit at the high top at the bar. So we return to the host stand again and I said we're leaving. I'm not satisfied with your tables, and then miraculously she decides to seat us in a nice four top table in the edge of the dining room leading to the patio. Why? Cala management, train your staff please. Bad start to the night. But we let it go. Ambiance: Restaurant is beautiful. It's part of hotel Senna. There's a bar, dining room & outdoor patio. On to the food and what we had: 1. Tuna tartare - delicious & refreshing 2. Meatballs - yummy! The combo of polenta to the meatballs was divine. One of the standouts of the meal. 3. Cauliflower - incredible! Another standout. 4. Salad with apples - refreshing & delicious. 5. Hummus - Forgettable! The plate they sent us had completely stale naan with it, we sent it back. They replaced it but the flavor of hummus itself was bad. Skip it. Drinks: 1. N/A mango amore - yummy! Love that it's not sweet. 2. Margaritas (classic) - delicious. Service was great. Our female server was excellent. Friendly, attentive & knowledgeable. Cala is worth a visit. Overall, loved the dinner & food was delicious. But don't let their terrible host stand team try to seat you in Siberia when the restaurant is empty. Frankly that gave off racist vibes & that behavior is not it in 2026. read more

I want to give this place another shot, maybe not on a holiday... My friend had a reservation for this place (well in advance) for Christmas dinner. When we got there, we were told that seating was running behind. Reservation was at 7:15 and we were seated around 7:40. Once we were seated, it took a bit for the server to come around and she told us that they were understaffed and the kitchen was running behind. We ordered a couple of apps to share (scallop crudo and hummus). The scallop crudo was probably our favorite dish of the evening. The balance of sweet and spicy was really nice! Hummus was good but not the best ever, especially for the price. For entrees, I got the bacon wrapped filet mignon which was a special for Christmas. My friends shared a fish dish and new york strip. Our entrees ran super behind and we got them around 9:30. I could forgive the late entree if our food was cooked to order but unfortunately it wasn't. The inside of my filet was uneven - one side well, other side was a medium - and I ordered medium rare. There was one prawn on it and it sat on some truffle mashed potatoes. For a $95 dish I definitely was disappointed. Overall, our server was friendly and very apologetic for the delays, ambiance was nice, and the concept seemed good... I'll give it another go and hopefully next time will be better. read more

We stopped in for an espresso martini after my gf saw this place featured on the news recently. The martini was delicious and the bar area was so inviting we decided we'd order food. I had the Italian sandwich, it comes with a side salad. It was delicious, that bread was yum! I would definitely come here to work or meet up with friends. Staff was friendly, bartender kept our waters full and checked on us several times. read more

I rarely write a negative review. Cala deserves to be the exception. I made a reservation for a Saturday night to have dinner in a RESTAURANT with friends to celebrate my birthday. Cala is NOT A RESTAURANT. Cala is a trendy nightclub with food. I don't know if the food is any good because our 8:00 reservation was seemingly ignored by a very young and very unprofessional staff as we stood waiting and waiting. To say the place was loud would be an understatement. Tables were full with Bachelorette parties, what sounded like a Fraternity House Party. Music was blasting and thumping at ear splitting volume. Around 8:45 we left. No apologies. If you're looking for a nice meal in an upscale restaurant SKIP CALA. One of the worst experiences in my dining out memories. read more

10/10! The ambiance, the food, the drinks - all around perfection. We started off brunch with matcha sour and espresso martini. Matcha sour delivers on both, matcha and sour. Espresso martini was strong and more on the bitter side than sweet. We both got the double down breakfast sandwich and WOW was that good! A crispy hash brown patty in the middle? Brilliant. This was one of my favorite bites of the trip. read more

I came in with a party of 6, we had a reservation made two weeks in advance. We waited a total of 25 minutes past 8:30 while we watched multiple walk-in tables larger than ours be sat. When we were finally sat there was strangely no silverware at our table. Our server seemed irritated the whole night and met us with hostility. Despite this, and the wait time, we were celebrating a birthday, and did not have time to change dinner plans on a busy Saturday night in old town, with a group as large as ours. On top of the questionable service, to really solidify our poor experience, our steaks were severely undercooked, and the Greek salad was simply tasteless. The only positive from the night was the lamb. So many other great options in AZ, save your time and money and skip this one. read more

We went as a party of 5 on a Friday evening! Good location on corner in old town. Set inside hotel but restaurant patio sits street side. Good and bad, beautiful weather but noisy car engines at times. The individuals working the hostess stand were not overly friendly, maybe an off night for them. Luckily our server Luka was really nice and a good server. The food was mediocre at best! My meatballs were very salty, but the heirloom carrots were good with a spicy sauce. The carrots were probably the best thing that any of us ordered! Two others had swordfish and were underwhelmed, it tasted under seasoned. Two others ordered pastas nothing to write home about! The table side tiramisu - skip! Drinks - The old fashion was watery tasting. Plum Spritz ok, nothing to obsess over. Right after we paid our bills, the host then came over and said we needed to leave since our time at table was up, which is fine except two other tables of 6 were open next to us. read more

Terrible food. Expensive and you get poor quality food. We ordered the New York strip, scallops and the salmon. The scallops and salmon were swimming in oil.

My review is based on a dinner reservation approximately two weeks prior to this review. First, the restaurant is a nicely decorated indoor/outdoor restaurant with a separate outdoor sports bar type tv area. We were seated outdoors which we were first a little confused as it was a little chilly and the restaurant was basically empty, however, we later appreciated. We had 6:30 reservations and were quickly seated. Upon seating, our server Jordan took our drink order and we were quickly served. Jordan was amazing. She was pleasant, efficient & knowledgeable. We ordered two dirty martinis. One vodka and one gin. I am a martini person. I feel $26 each is a bit overpriced for an average martini. Just my opinion. The burrata, beet appetizer. The burrata was cold, hard, and unfortunately not creamy at all like burrata should be.. we love burrata so we're were disappointed in the burrata. Loud club music at 7pm? We couldn't even hear each other talk and we were outside. Completely unnecessary at a nice restaurant such as this. I'm so confused why they were playing club music. Definitely not a club music crowd. I'm giving this restaurant 4 stars only because both pasta dishes, the pacherri and Lumache as well as our server Jordan, were simply outstanding. If you are looking for g for amazing pasta, give Cala a try. read more

We decided to give Cala a try on a midweek afternoon. Located inside the Senna House Hotel, this eatery is such a vibe with its modern upscale roots & Mediterranean flare entreès. Large dining tables make it a great spot for big parties. We started off with the Flaming Saganaki- which was by far my favorite thing I ate here. A small brick of kasseri cheese is elegantly torched & gives off a beautiful show of flames. Served with house made focaccia, this appetizer is an absolute must! Not only is it pretty, but tastes so good too! I opted for the Paccheri Alla Salsiccia for my main entrée. A large pillow shaped pasta served with sausage & broccoli in a creamy Alfredo like sauce. The dish itself did not offer much flavor, and I felt the empty pasta should've been filled with a cheese or something! It was certainly missing that good filling you just bite into where it melts in your mouth. Although it fell short in taste, it definitely has potential! I also opted for the Mango Chilè Margarita which was excellent! Adorned with a dried up lime & a Tajín rim, this drink was a 10/10! Service was good our waiter was kind & did what he needed to do. Can't wait to come back & give this place a try for dinner. read more

It was good.... I'm sure you are paying mostly for the vibes! My baby daughter picked this place as she wanted a girls night out for Valentines. We made reservations several days prior and arrived early however there was still a bit of a wait. My youngest and I ordered the lamb shank, my oldest ordered pizza and we had hummus and feta muss for the table. The lamb shank was well seasoned and super tinder and it was a very nice size portion to me the pizza was a wired combination and kinda soft but my daughter said she liked it so that's all that mattered. The hummus was simple but flavorful and the bread was really good as well. My youngest of course HAD to "save room for dessert" she had an espresso gelato I think and it was very rich all in all it was a good meal and the vibes were vibing... read more

One star is purely for consistent issues the whole night mainly service related; however, food is just mid and overpriced to me. Came here with a reservation for a birthday dinner for 6. Really liked the atmosphere, and we were sat down outside which was super nice. The issues started with our drink orders. Some of my table had ordered espresso martinis with vodka as the menu states choose vodka or tequila. However, they came back with tequila versions twice before we got ones with vodka in them. In between this whole time they never brought out another member's drink - and we had to reorder their drink after the martini situation was handled as they just forgot. Past that we got our food which was ok to me. I had the bucatini and was very disappointed in the flavors as it was a wagyu beef bucatini bolognese, but tasted like spaghetti I made at home. Only thing that stuck out was pasta cooked al dente. The vodka pasta on the other hand was pretty good could taste a rich vodka sauce. Lastly the dessert. We had brought in a custom cake and called them beforehand as a surprise for our friend. We brought it up to the waitress that it was the pink cake from X bakery after we were done eating. She comes back 5 minutes later with not our cake! So we had to explain and they eventually came back with our cake. After this the waitress asked if they would like another martini. My friend said yes, and lo and behold they came out with the tequila one again and not the vodka which was comical. They did comp two of the martinis which I'm glad but still shouldn't have even gotten to that point. On top of that when the bill came out they charged us a cake fee (the cake they incorrectly brought out) which we had to bring up again and ask why were we charged that and get it taken off. Someone please tell me why there is also A CREDIT CARD SURCHARGE FEE (3%?!?!?). Makes no sense that I am being charged a credit card surcharge. If it was one thing like the drinks were mixed up once then that's ok. Mistakes happen, but the fact it just happened over and over and more stuff happened on top of it is just silly to me. Food wasn't even that good. Drinks were pretty good. I do not plan on coming here again, but even if the service was good - I just think it's overpriced and mediocre. read more

The food was delicious, the lunch specials were amazing!! They offer a 3 course meal & even include a mocktail with all for $25. Vodka pasta was our favorite and the manager Linda even stopped by to check on us and was incredibly kind. Such a great experience from start to finish! Highly recommend. read more

Go for their new brunch! This is what oldtown needed!!! They're gonna steal 50% of sumomaya's clientele. Well done! Music volume 10/10. Just perfect. I went on their 2nd brunch week. So now for the constructive criticism. (Because I'm really rooting for yall to succeed with this new brunch!!!!!) Hummus had a film on it. I've gotten food poisoning 4 times in my life, once from bad hummus, so I'm a bit more picky than most. Make it a smaller dish and refresh more often. 1/3rd of Your Crudités were wilted. Cucumbers and peppers looked like they were prepared 2 days ago and left out. How about a Mediterranean breakfast chicken sandwich or a Greek lamb breakfast sandwich to compete with your brunch burger. I'm really hoping yall keep this year round. So, suggesting that yall move the seafood station inside to that large conference table that's on the way to the lobby, so it's not outside in June when it's 98 degrees at 11am. Lastly. Yall are going for an instagramable spot. Do that with an obscene bloody Mary bar inside next to where you'll put the seafood offerings come summer ;) even if you limit it to just 1 Bloody Mary per person, or offer it al la carte. It shows really well (and I hate bloody Mary's) Otherwise, yall nailed it. Well done. read more

The nerve this business has to accept a reservation for a special occasion over a month in advance only to call the night before to say they're "overbooked" and need us to move our original date.

I enjoyed my meal here. We had a large party so there was a smaller menu. Cocktails - they served a welcome drink of passion fruit cosmo. It was sweet but pretty tasty. Then I had a few New fashioneds, which was an Old Fashioned with an apricot liquor. I really liked them. Appetizers: the table split a meat/cheese board, whipped ricotta, Flaming saganaki, and roasted cauliflower. They were all good, although the Flaming saganaki was really salty. The best was the whipped ricotta and I would definitely order that again. Main meal: my husband had the Vodka Pasta and I had Moroccan Chicken. Both were good but my husband wished his pasta was more filling or had more substantial protein. I would order both again. Dessert was a carrot cake, and it was pretty terrible. The music was quite loud and it was hard to hear the person sitting across from Me. read more

Food was good but the service ruined the night. We ordered a good variety from the menu for the 4 of us - ricotta, tzatziki veg plate, burrata, cauliflower, meatballs, Cala salad, salmon, sea bass, and pizza but I guess that wasn't enough for the server to do her job well. Inattentive and unapologetic wait staff and management. We left without getting the birthday girl dessert because the server never came back after dropping off the dessert menu. We had reservations at 7:30 and left unsatisfied around 9:30- we had to look everywhere for someone to get us our check. I ended up asking one of the bussers for the manager, they never came up to our table and I had I walk up to him at the hostess stand- he made excuses and didn't seem care. The server eventually came back with our check. Very disappointing. read more

I've heard a lot of good things about this restaurant, so I decided to come check it out. I really enjoyed it! We got there in time to enjoy the tail end of happy hour. We ordered the flaming saganaki cheese (watch out, don't sit too close!), which is a harder salty greek cheese that is tasty on the toast it is served with. We also tried the Peruvian scallop crudo, which is comprised of three small scallops in the shell with a citrusy sauce around it. I enjoyed sipping the leftover sauce from the shell! For mains, we split the bucatini wagyu bolognese and the tamarind braised lamb shank. We ordered a side of extra glazed carrots to along with it. I think the lamb was my favorite dish. It was so tender that it was falling off the bone! Service was great. Ambiance was lovely: a beachy, relaxed vibe with neutral colors and plants hanging from the ceilings. read more
