I love Cava- wish they were not moving. I hop the new space will be a bit quieter. Thanks for the years so far.

The food, as always, was delicious. The service was nice and friendly, but inconsistent. It took a long time for drinks and such good food without wine or a cocktail is not as much fun!

Our server Lucas was great. He recommended a nice wine in our price range that went well with the food. The foie gras (expensive but worth it) and the octopus were standouts. The maitake mushroom was memorable. We were three and shared all of the dishes and each arrived in good timing so we were were not overloaded all at once.

The Gamay Poached Foie Gras was amazing! We also had a really friendly British waiter who taught our group how to make flowers and animals using our table napkins. Very entertaining!
