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.

Experience here was absolutely amazing! The vibes and music were just right, and the atmosphere was so uplifting and filled with positive energy! The service here was great, and the waitresses were super nice. The food was good too, and was freshly prepared. The place itself is absolutely beautiful. Super modern, filled with beautiful furniture and very nice lighting! Highly recommend for a cute dinner date, or even just a dinner outing!!

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
