    Dinner for 4 at Cava was unimpressive. We had a nice table by the window. Wasn’t too busy. Glassware was dirty & spotted and not replaced when brought to attention. Two other tables were seated after us and helped, before anyone even came to our table. Order came out incorrect. Three of us had the restaurant week menu which seemed like a good deal, and three of us also had drinks which were outrageously priced, so when the final bill came, it added up to be as much as eating at a steakhouse!!

    As usual the food was very good. I think the service was slow because there were not enough wait staff. Our waitress was slammed with customers. This caused her to not come check on us until we were almost finished with the main course. They actually forgot to bring us our salads but, in the end, we were full, so we said to just forget the salads.

    This place is a mystery. It is conveniently located and accessible after attending a lecture. Yet it is almost always nearly empty. The servers are very friendly and try to please, but meals are very slow to arrive even with very few patrons. The food is just okay with an occasional problem like the soup special which was too salty to eat. I would like to see Cava do well, but something needs to change for certain.

    We had an early dinner here before a speaker series. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. Overall the food was good. I had the falafel wrap with fries that were delicious.

    The restaurant was dead quiet because it was empty. Our service was barely okay. They had a three course special that we ordered. The sale was the best part of the meal. I think the steak was a flank steak. I didn't expect much from such a cut and my expectations were met. It was tough and , the cheapest steak knife I have ever seen, just tore at it. Desert was some sort of bananna pudding, supposedly banana cream pie. Not even close.
