A word from Cava Mezze - DC

Prepare to indulge in unique Greek-inspired dishes, skillfully crafted by talented Chef Dimitri Moshovitis. All dishes are served mezze style—in small plates, but with portions large enough to share. Cava’s mezze-style dining inspires conversation and laughter at the table. The dim candle-lighting… and black and white family photos adorning Cava’s charming brick interior walls creates a welcoming atmosphere. A dining experience at Cava is incomplete without a glass of wine. So pair your meal with one of our upscale, yet affordable wines.Continued

"The boyfriend and I loved loved Cava Mezze. We went on Monday night and I just might return tonight for more! It's literally my new favorite DC restaurant. The grilled baby octopus is magic as is the orzo. Yum yum yum. Be warned, you have to like salt."

"We had a good time, however it is very loud during peak evening service. I did send one dish back, the potatoes accompanying the Sous Vide Short Rib were cold. They were brought back some time later piping hot. The food overall was very good and we were seated on time."

"We had a 20 minute wait for our reservation but we were compensated by the manager by two free desserts. Our waiter was great, super knowlegable and ready to inform us about the menu. AMAZING food- try the Chicken lollipops."
