CALA Scottsdale Reviews
This was a great spot for a group dinner.
They have a prefixe menu option for groups so we got a bunch of appetizers (whipped ricotta was my favorite, saganaki was a close second) and an entree (Vodka pasta was not my favorite, a bit too Al dente for me). It was a bachelorette party so they
We came on a bachelorette trip.
This restaurant is the perfect large party/group trap! Maybe I would've enjoyed it more if I were rolling in money and a drinker? The ambiance is very aesthetic and lively. We saw about 6 other bachelorette parties there, also. Since we had a gr
Jared was the best server everrrrrr!!!!!! He got us
Jared was the best server everrrrrr!!!!!! He got us everything we needed and shots to celebrate our friends promotion!! Food was delicious! Go to Cala and ask for Jared. Seriously.

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 chopp

I was so disappointed in this restaurant and had very high hopes. Food was very mediocre and extremely overpriced. Service was below average. They were not willing to accommodate very basic requests. I would only consider going back if they signifi
Cala nails it.
Food was excellent, drinks were on point. From the Aperol spritz to the red wine. The vibe and music were awesome, and the decor with all the plants gives it an upscale but totally chill feel. Staff was super friendly and just rad all around. One of

I had a jump on here while I'm eating dinner and give this restaurant a five star rating. Whoever jumped on yelp and gave it negative stars to where it's at a 3.7 needs slap themself. Are you kidding me? This restaurant is good as fuck. Th
The dining room is absolutely beautiful and the ambience
The dining room is absolutely beautiful and the ambience was perfect for my date and I. Our server Lauren was great. The food was amazing the pasta is a must!
Beautiful place to have dinner.
Our server was very accommodating for my birthday and treated me to either dessert or a shot. She came with fireworks and a butterscotch ice cream that was sooo cute! The food was great with generous portions. Wish I knew the servers name because she
Restaurant week is an opportunity to try new places.
The restaurant itself is beautiful, the food and service was disappointing. As soon as I asked for the Restaurant Week menu, service changed. I truly do not understand why. I think this is an opportunity to earn a customer. Food was subpar to what I
The food was phenomenal.
The ambience was great but waited about seven minutes to be greeted our table was outside. Where we sat the table very dirty, not wiped down and then when I asked about a certain drink on the menu the server was like; I don't know what that is

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 ar
So sad with the sub-par everything.
Overcooked eggs. Cold toast. Burned bacon. Under-ripe fruit -- mostly melon. Cool coffee. I sent the eggs back and it took so long that everything else was even less awesome. Definitely doesn't match the Instagram ads. Lol
Great atmosphere and drinks! Get the shishito peppers.
Great service. Lots of Bach parties but still had a great time!
Food was amazing! And I absolutely love the happy they have
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
This place was really good! Stopped by for Hubs birthday
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
I went to this restaurant two times.
Both of the times it disappointed me. Second time I went to celebrate my husband's birthday. Despite booking in advance with the cost they did not allow us to sit down the area with 6 seaters though we were 6 people. I have 17 months old baby th

Rude and dismissive staff, and overpriced food.
Tap water tastes terrible, they need to fix their plumbing. Boycotting Cala for a while.

Came for a friend's birthday dinner and had a good time! The servers are attentive and friendly, despite the large size of the restaurant. We sat outside which was a tad warm in mid July but the dusk breeze helped, the seating near the misters s
one thing this place has is the vibes.
so many photo opportunities! had a reservation and was seated upon arrival. it was a friday night so it was quite loud in the restaurant, bachelorette parties and also a game was on at the bar that cause some noise as well. we did end up switching to

My friend and I finally made it to Cala and it was to celebrate my birthday. I had the espresso martini and it was creamy goodness. My friend had the tasty and refreshing Plum Spritz. All the food was absolutely delicious! We had the whipped ricotta
Great Vibe, Great Food
Wow! My first visit, great vibe, attentive service on a busy night, and delicious food. I had the swordfish paella, which I 100% recommend. My friend ordered the Moroccan chicken which I ate half of and loved. Small but very well thought out wine
Absolutely horrendous
Don’t go here. This place has some of the worst service I’ve ever experienced (as evidenced by other reviews). Management is rude, service is slow. There are so many better options in Scottsdale, don’t waste your money here.
Cool atmosphere, decent service but food isn’t great,
Cool atmosphere and good service but food is sub par. We ordered charred broccoli that was barely blanched and slightly warmed definitely nut done nor grilled at all. No idea what kind of pre sliced tasteless cheese was used on the margarita pizza.
Wildly Loud Volume Distracts & Detracts from the Food & Experience
6pm reservation on a Monday night for my parents, my friend and myself. We were very excited to try this spot. We asked for a table that was not under a music speaker, as we had noticed from other reviews that it could be overwhelming. It didn
Insta-worthy restaurant with some great dishes
We are staying in the Center hotel and decided to try this restaurant several times. We actually ate breakfast lunch and dinner there. Breakfast was great. The pancakes are gigantic and very thick and heavy. Easily split a bowl for two people. I had
Great Food and Service but, Unbearable Music Volume
This is a tough one. The food was very good. We ordered the Flaming Saganaki, the Scallop Crudo, the Swordfish, the Lamb Shank and two fresh pastas (photos attached). All were exceptional and we are picky foodies. Our waitress, Gaby, was also fantast
Awesome
The food is amazing. Great service with a smile. I love this place. Customers are a mix of business, students and girls night out. The only comment I have is why a restroom attendant? It’s not the 90’s anymore. I can pump my own soap and ge
Cramped, noisy, just okay.
Full disclosure - if I was 30 to 40, this place would be five stars. However, as someone approaching 70, I found CALA incredibly crowded and noisy to the point of inability to conduct a conversation. Service was over-stretched and harried. She tried
Excellent Food,atmosphere not so much.
Went with a group to this restaurant. The staff could t have been nicer or more attentive to our needs. Served family style for the first five courses, the flavors were spot on. The roasted cauliflower was excellent as was the bread with ricotta and
Connect with users posting reservations for CALA Scottsdale
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with CALA Scottsdale. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to CALA Scottsdale at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the CALA Scottsdale page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at CALA Scottsdale to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at CALA Scottsdale!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
