About this restaurant

Lively
Hot spot
Great for outdoor dining

Named after a tiny beach cove street, Cala Road in Mallorca, with the most impressive views of the Mediterranean Sea, Cala is the dynamic vision of Clive Collective.

Highlighting the freshest seasonal ingredients inspired by local organic farmers and in partnership with renowned Scottsdale Visionary, Chef Beau MacMillan delivers on coastal flavors with a desert flare for an elevated dining experience that transports you straight to the Mediterranean.

Completed with wines curated from exceptional vineyards, paired with Spanish and Italian influences, Cala is truly the only way to enjoy the best that Scottsdale has to offer.

The atmosphere is unmatched. In 2022 Cala was awarded "Best New Restaurant" by Phoenix New Times and the Gold Key Winner for 'Excellence in Hospitality Design.' In 2023, awarded "Top Best Restaurants" by Phoenix New Times.

Super busy place. It is a hot spot with a lot of good looking people. Little too loud for me. It was really hard to talk to my date there.

Needs more standing bar space. Having seating at every bar space prohibits those from standing from ordering.

Dear Kordell, Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! We really appreciate you pointing that out—it’s something we’ll take into consideration as we continue to fine-tune the experience. Hope to have you back soon! The Cala Scottsdale Team
