As a reviewer, I was particularly charmed by the happy hour offerings that encourage sharing and socializing.

Really amazing experience for a 16-person party. Servers were attentive and considerate with food sensitivities, even though the restaurant was packed with lots of other large parties. The food and drink service was amazing. Our group reserved a set menu experience, and the champagne and appetizers arrived at our table shortly after we were seated. Definitely recommend the whipped ricotta. I didn't love the fried cheese...maybe if I had eaten a bite the moment it was delivered, but after that I thought it was too salty and dense as it cooled. The harissa salmon was perfectly cooked! The flourless chocolate cake was surprised hard, making it difficult to cut with a spoon, but the ice cream served with it was delicious.
This place feels a bit like SUR from Vanderpump rules - The staff are all incredibly attractive and I'd love to see them film a reality show here! We came here for my bachelorette dinner and they brought out champagne sparklers which was a really fun treat. The food was delicious - standout dishes were the hummus, the meatball, the carrots, and the tuna tartare.
I had a good time here for brunch the other day! My friend and I had a reservation on Saturday around 1030a. This place is located inside the Senna House Hotel, and free street parking is available or valet. The decor at this place is beautiful and very relaxed with lots of greenery! Definitely Mediterranean! Lexy took great care of us and even helped re-seat us in a warmer area of the restaurant. For drinks we decided to try the mocktails and ordered the Chai Thai and some kind of citrus drink. They were both nice, but I think I preferred the citrus one. For food we ordered the Mediterranean Mezze Platter, which was absolutely incredible, and the egg white and avocado shakshuka which was also delicious! The flavors of the Mezze platter were so delicious, I especially enjoyed the white bean hummus. I would definitely come back here and try their dinner menu. It also looked like they offer fun drinks and experiences for large groups!
Very beautiful ambiance. The service was on point and so was the food. I felt the brunch was a bit overpriced and having to hold your reservation with a cc for brunch seems strange as well. But back to the food.... I split the breakfast sandwich and sticky bun with a friend. Both were so delicious. They have unique offerings of cocktails to share which sets them apart from other restaurants but this place has a level of sophistication and it seems they want to be a ladies brunch club vibe. So did I love it? I didn't hate it...just strange concept but likely try again.
Our Galentines dinner was on point at Cala! I was a little nervous to dine here because of the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised with the service we received from Jess. Cala was absolutely gorgeous, and the vibes transported us to a beach club in Greece or Cabo. We started with the flaming saganaki, which was sizzling salty cheese, slices of focaccia and a fire show. The mez-cala mezcal cocktail was fruit & smokey. Drinks are a little pricey here, averaging between $18-20. For dinner, we shared the braised lamb shank and broccolini. The lamb was FANTASTIC, and it literally fell off the bone. The lamb was deliciously sweet from the tamarind, yet had hints of garlic & lentil which made it savory. This dish is definitely sharable, and worth every penny. I loved the vibe at Cala, and will most definitely return with my husband!
What a beautiful restaurant with amazing food! The most peaceful breakfast experience I've ever had. The food was beyond delish and honestly massive. I ordered the buttermilk pancakes and they were so good. 10/10. The waitress that helped us was so sweet and helpful in offering selections to our table. We had a reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. The food is beyond, I don't even know how to describe how delicious so I'll share some photos. They had a full bar with a great variety of fun, fancy drinks. We came to celebrate a friends birthday and at the end of the meal offered little birthday shots to everyone at the table. I'm pretty sure that have a different menu for each stage of the day....a breakfast one, a brunch one and then evening. But the menu is also seasonal which is nice!
