when we arrived at 4:30, we were not aware of menu change at 5 pm, but kitchen was very agreeable so we ordered a cheese board to eat while we waited for menu change at 5 pm. My salmon and husband’s pork cutlet were perfect. very considerate! Will definitely be back!

Beautiful place but on a Sunday mid day the place was empty. It seemed there was only one person waiting on people but yet others doing other things (I.e delivering ordered food). Hostess was great, our waitress seemed to be covering the entire restaurant but not quite sure why we had to ask for refills on iced tea and coke or even water. We ordered the $25 board which was chefs selection of meats, cheeses, almonds, grapes, pickles. This board needs some bread or crackers. Limited brunch menu and no you can’t order off a regular menu. Friend ordered the huevos rancheros (she was not thrilled with it). I ordered a salad with two large shrimp. It was fine but not sure it was worth $28. $18 for the salad, $10 for Shrimp. Again the interior is beautiful but frankly with so many options in Scottsdale I won’t for brunch. Need to see if it is worth trying on a regular menu.

My wife’s order was put into the system, yet came out 40 minutes after I got my entree. No visit from management. Our server did go and get her entree taken off the bill, which was nice. But the enjoyment of having dinner together was not there. I’d say this was an incidental situation, however the table beside us also had an issue with the food being delivered correctly. Really good food, but the service level, and managements complete lack of presence were disappointing.
Cala ScottsdaleResponded 1 day ago
Dear Eric, Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for the delay with your wife’s order and for the lack of management presence during your visit. While we’re glad your server addressed the issue, we know it didn’t make up for the missed opportunity to enjoy dinner together. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’d appreciate the chance to make it right. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us through our website or by phone to connect with our manager directly.

Rang in 2025 here with a group of friends! I thought Cala did a great job capping the ticket sales-- it wasn't too crowded and I never had to wait long to order a drink. They nailed the ambience, it was an exciting and inviting place to spend the evening! We paid the $55 fee per person for our "reservation," and with it we were supposed to receive a complimentary glass of champagne at midnight to toast with as well as a dessert. I did not receive either one of those items. They also turned on the lights inside before closing which was a bit of a jump scare. Overall, we had a positive experience and would do it again!

Dear Lauren, Thank you for choosing Cala to ring in 2025! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the ambiance and found the evening exciting and inviting. We sincerely apologize for the oversight with the champagne toast and dessert—we’ll be sure to address this to improve future experiences. Your feedback about the lighting is appreciated as well. We’re so glad you had a positive night overall and hope to welcome you back again soon! The Cala Scottsdale Team
