Awesome food and service

Excellent food. Great service. The food is very close to food in Greece. The owner and management is very hospitable and gives you personal attention.

Great food

We went for Sunday brunch. Despite being clearly busy, we got our food in a timely manner and drinks were never empty. High quality and delicious menu items, each and every one.

Food was good. Waiter was friendly. But we felt so rushed. We didn’t have a chance to sit and enjoy. They had us in and out as fast as they could.

Always a fun night out - great food and fast service. One of our favorites!

Always a great experience! The food is outstanding.

delicious Mediterranean tapas style dishes. even better for people that like to share!

The meal and service were excellent- but the noise/volume from the bar made it so we struggled to have a conversation. Our waitress helped us switch tables, but we shouldn’t have been sat so close to the bar when there was a large loud group (happy hour?) there.

We used to frequent Cava Mezze more frequently before the pandemic and used to like it. Now the food seems pretty mediocre - the Saganaki was not properly flambed and tasted strongly of alcohol. They did give us another when we pointed it out. There were 3 of us, and we were provided with only 1 menu - and it was old and the print was fading. In the poorly lit restaurant, it was not easy to read and having fading text in the descriptions didn't help. When I pointed this out to the server, she had to check for herself (instead of taking my work for it) before she realized that a new menu was needed. We ordered several items: saganaki (poor), zucchini fritters (mediocre), potato terrine (good), calamari (mediocre), lamb meatballs (mediocre) and lamb chops (excellent). Overall, this was not a great experience. Something seems to have changed with the restaurant. Hopefully, they figure it out and get back to the way they were.

Great food, great service! Cava is the best restaurant in Montgomery County.

Excellent meal and excellent service! Outdoor heat lamps made the evening very comfortable.

Excellent!

Very slow, make sure you have enough time

Food was excellent but the price value for the wine was poor. $11 a glass of Pinot Noir, although a good wine, is on the high side for a 3 to 4 ounce pour

Everything was great!

Good food but portions were a bit small for the price.

It's nice to have cava as a local option. They weren't at their best on Saturday but overall it was good. The food was pretty good and came out fairly promptly, and the service was nice. And because other diners were taking their time on a nice night and thus clogging up the tables, they created an extra table for us so we wouldn't have to wait any longer (about 20 minutes after our res time). So that was thoughtful.

Less than perfect this time:
- I ordered a martini which came in a strange tumbler style glass.
- It's standard at cava to provide a little pita bread and some pepper salsa but we didn't get any.
- Because of the wait for a table the hostess apologized and promised free desserts - but our waitress wasn't informed and we didn't want to raise it. It wasn't really necessary, but don't offer and then fail to execute.

They offer good outdoor dining

Excellent food and service and plenty of outdoor tables. We will return!

Very good! It was my first rime and I plan to go back soon!

Fantastic French toast!

I’ve come here many times for dinner — which is always fantastic — though this was my first time for brunch. We sat outside, so missed the beautiful ambiance of the dining room. Our family enjoyed the lamb Benedict, lamb sliders and frittata, along with the aptly named flaming cheese which is a Cava Mezze speciality . Everything was excellent and the service was great. Cava Mezze never disappoints.

The food and service were great. Will definitely be back!

My birthday

Food was delicious, but overall experience was simply pleasant and more like a nice lunch than evening dining. All three food items were delivered quickly, well before the drinks were delivered. I had to ask about the drinks before getting them half way through dinner. We were in and out in 25 minutes, not our actual desire.

I love Cava but this visit was pretty awful! Our server was lousy. He was inattentive and completely unenthusiastic. Unfriendly and just plain bad.

I have celiac and they were really great about dealing with the allergy. They notate dishes that are 100% gluten free with no cross contamination

The best food in Rockville. A must dining spot and great for a date or group. We jsut ask the server to bring their favorites as the menu is a can't miss hit.

The food was excellent as always. Outside seating service was okay, not the best setting of course (Giant and streets), and more could be done to improve it, but with food as the focus, it is fine. I do recommend CAVA!

Good food but a bit overpriced. Thanks

Great outdoor seating and service, excellent food!

Birthday dinner was awesome, my favorite staple is the Brussels sprouts appetizer.

We ate outside, which is why it was quiet, and the food was awesome!

The food and service were phenomenal!!! Every dish was luscious and the servings were generous (we really didn’t need to order 3 tapas each!) We sat outside, which could have been a bit cleaner. That and the fact that it’s pricey are the only slight improvements I would consider less than stellar!

It was fantastic! Brittany is the best and we will be back again & again. When Cava Mezze first opened years ago it was our date night place. We just started going back again and I am sorry we waited so long.

We tried a lot of different mezzes and all were great. The favorites for the group were the dipping tray, lamb chops, watermelon salad, mini gyros, and mediterranean cod.

Food was excellent and service great. Recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to talk and eat great food without feeling you need to be rushed. Small plates give you the ability to try multiple items on menu which all are good.

Great food, excellent service and highly recommend the large platter for a group.

Enjoyable dining experience with very good service. Steak souvlaki was a fave. Tender beef with nice flavor. Hush puppies also very good. Spicy lamb slider could have had more flavor and would be great in a pita rather than an oversized bun. Tahini sauce on the falafel was excellent but the falafel themselves were disappointing and dry.
