   We visited Cala for Thanksgiving. We ordered a mix of dishes from both their main menu and their Thanksgiving special. All the food was good. The services was fantastic, our server (Kayla, I think) was incredible as was the rest of the staff. I would have given all 5 stars but I think the food, while it was very good, wasn’t great.

   Food was great. They recommended their special flaming cheese appetizer and it was delicious. The salmon and lamb shank were also delicious. The service was not up to our expectations as there were a lot of staff standing around and our server was too quick to disappear and the appearances in between were spotty. Our expectation would be the staff standing around would be working as a team and this was not the case, not for the price level of this place, we expected better in terms of the service. Compliments to the kitchen, but suggest you get the front of house up to the same level.

   This is the first time I have been to this place . The place is really busy and seems fun for a young crowd. Had the flaming cheese plate which is a tad salty. The Cala salad is not really cohesive and bitter. I ordered the swordfish for some reason flavors are not cohesive. If they can restructure their menu maybe hire someone who can help them this place has promise to last a long time.

   I enjoyed my food and appetizers. Was surprised to find out there is no bread on the menu especially with all the Mediterranean food on the menu. Noise level was so crazy loud would suggest you sit outside.

   Well, i booked this place 10 days in advance and when we got there we had to wait for 30 mins to be seated, only to get the worst table at the place. They don’t have a good patio set up. The corner tables almost seem like you’re dining at the neighbors patio, just awful arrangement. My friends and I left right away.
   

   Cala ScottsdaleResponded on 22 November 2024

   Dear Juan Pablo, we’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. Waiting for a table and feeling dissatisfied with the seating arrangement is not the experience we aim to provide. Your feedback about the patio setup is invaluable, and we’ll use it to improve. Please feel free to reach out to our manager through our website or by phone so we can address your concerns directly. We’d appreciate the opportunity to make things right. Warm regards, The Cala Scottsdale Team

    I’ve been in before and had a great experience but this time was definitely lacking. We came in for a birthday dinner. When we were offered shots for the birthday we asked that one of them be nonalcoholic for our sober friend. She was given a shot that contained alcohol. She was also given the wrong NA drink that she ordered. Another gal in our party ordered sparkling water and was given a 1L bottle of Pierre with no glass to put it in. We didn’t see the server for almost 20 minutes and had to ask for a glass. And then had to ask for ice for the glass. The whipped feta app we ordered came with one piece of bread cut in half. We asked for more bread so the whole group could enjoy the app and the second piece of bread was dropped 20 minutes later which we had to ask the server to check on. The whole experience was saved by the entrees. Everything we ordered was fabulous

    Dear Alisoun, thank you for sharing your feedback. While we’re glad you enjoyed the entrees, we’re deeply sorry that your experience fell short in other areas, especially during such a special occasion. Your concerns about the service and missteps with drinks and timing are important, and we’ll address them with our team. Please feel free to reach out to our manager through our website or by phone to discuss further. We’d love the opportunity to make things right. Warm regards, The Cala Scottsdale Team
