Cala has received Resort and Travel  Magazine's prestigious 5 Star Award.

 

Located in a former sound studio on Fell Street between Van Ness and Franklin, it has an airy patio-like environment featuring a wall of trellised kangaroo vines delineating the long entryway and a fiddle-leaf fig tree between the dining room and the bar.

 

Dozens of black clay globe light fixtures dangle from the whitewashed peaked roof, covering the 100-seat dining room like a constellation of stars.It is a sophisticated design that doesn’t pander to the expected. Not only does the restaurant feel like an urban oasis, but a Meyer Sound system helps to modulate the noise. So while the space has a lively buzz it doesn’t have the hard-edged, piercing notes found in similarly designed restaurants.
