    Cava was the perfect setting for taking a couple of friends out to dinner for their birthday. Cava made 7 ladies very happy. Food, service, ambience made for a very special evening.

    The food is delicious both for lunch and dinner! The chicken scarpariello was prepared well and plentiful. Our friends enjoyed the shrimp scampi and salmon as well. The coconut and chocolate gelato was wonderfully refreshing. I recommend this restaurant.

    Food was delicious and service was very good. A bit on the pricey side for a basic dish but otherwise it was a good experience. We would go back again.

    Food is really good and the service is acceptable. But, the noise level is so loud it's hard to hear your dinner companions.

    Cava has the potential to be a lovely restaurant. But the food is mediocre and occasionally poor and the dining room can be uncomfortably cool on cold winter days. Just when you want it to be warm and inviting.

    Visited prior; great menu; now changed. Poor holiday decorations; diminished atmosphere (no tablecloths; left to Hispanic music playing. Just not a good holiday experience! Of all suggested recommendations that may apply, none do.
