    Wow! It has taken me way too long to visit Cava! Everything was fresh an delicious. They have so many choices and great options to choose from. The hummus, falafel, tzatziki, everyone was delicious. The drinks weren't as great as anticipated but good flavor combinations. I knocked off a star because for 2 people grabbing lunch it was just under $50! Not a place I'll visit often but it was yummy, especially the pita!

    Took a mini road trip to DE and got hungry while shopping. We opted to try somewhere familiar for convenience and speed. There was a little line but it move quickly. The food was being replenished as we ordered so everything was fresh which is awesome and adds to the flavor. I always order a side of pita chips because they are quite literally the star of the show. I would visit this location anytime. Parking was plenty the service was great. They cared about the speed of the line and making sure you have exactly what you wanted. They even ask if you would like extra ingredients. They were not stingy with the portions at all.

    The gal on the front line working the register (28Dec24@6P) is steal worthy for anyone needing an amazing personality who can multitask all while smiling! Foods great at Cava and ordering can be a bit overwhelming. Great healthyish meal. Cucumber-Mint drink is amazing.

    The food was DELICIOUS and not overly greasy, but rather very healthy. They had SO MANY options for me to choose from. And everyone was very kind, understanding, and helpful in explaining the food! It was lively and cozy despite being a Togo spot with outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating.

    First time ordering from Cava. Chicken, Arugula and Rice. The food that I could eat had good flavor. The ratio of rice to greens was off. Disappointed about getting burnt veggies. The desert brownie is very small.

    There's plenty of seating and other shops near this location. I got the Balsamic Date Chicken bowl but replaced it with the lamb brisket and lamb meatballs because it's zabiha/halal. I ended up paying double for extra protein because the server didn't hear me. To be honest, the lamb is way too gamey. The lamb meatballs are medium rare and the lamb brisket is super fatty. I appreciate that the lamb is from New Zealand, thus zabiha/halal but it's gamey and I won't be ordering it again. Although the bowl is nutrient dense, the portions/quantity was small. I honestly feel like Sweet Greens or Mezeh in KOP fills up the bowl more.

    Cava provided a satisfying, quick, and healthy lunch while shopping at Christiana. Love how you can choose each item that goes into your customized bowl. Spicy items are marked, and you can do half and half of proteins and bases. There are several good juices - my favorite are the blueberry and the cucumber. All calories are marked. Service was exceedingly friendly despite a lunchtime rush. Highly recommend!

My hubby's office had ordered takeout…read morefrom here in the past, and as picky of an eater as he is, he talked about how good it was; so we thought we would try their dine-in experience together. We arrived around 5:45pm to a fairly empty restaurant, which often gives me pause; but as the night went on, it quickly filled up. We were seated and tended to promptly. The interior is cool and inviting, with Greek artwork and upbeat music to enhance the ambiance. Our server was attentive and blunt in a fun, friendly way -- make sure you bring your sense of humor so you don't take anything personally! I had a bowl of the Chicken Avgolemono soup, though the smaller cup would've been more than enough. It was nice and hot. My husband and daughter both got Souvlaki platters but didn't want their Dolmades so I happily ate those. I also shared their fries and part of my daughter's Pork Souvlaki. The Dolmades were some of the best I've ever had and the fries were amazing. But the pork. Listen, I rarely choose pork as my protein and I was very unenthusiastic about it, but it was possibly the best pork I have eaten in my life. It was super tender and juicy and absolutely full of flavor. Together with the fresh pita, tzatziki, and cucumbers... I didn't have words. My husband enjoyed his Lamb Souvlaki, but he tried a bite of the pork and shared my sentiments. We shared a piece of Baklava for dessert, which was also delicious. It was a wonderfully satisfying meal! Restrooms were bright and clean, albeit you have to walk through their office-like area to get to them and kind of feel like you're intruding. If you are in the area and like Greek food or want to try something different, I highly recommend giving this spot a try. I would welcome the opportunity to go back!

    Perhaps my dining partner and I expected too much... Perhaps. But one thing is certain: Despite…read morebeing highly recommended via a variety of sources, our recent visit to Agua Bistro proved to be something of a disappointment. Our dissatisfaction pertained neither to the restaurant's appealingly cozy ambiance nor to its spot-on personable service. Rather, it was related solely to the preparation and presentation of a portion of the cuisine; which, despite their website's pontification - "Here you will find Chef's handcrafted à la carte menu inspired by a medley of Mediterranean flavors" - fell significantly short of expectations. But let's begin on a positive note... The Fried Artichokes, which my dining partner and I shared as an appetizer, as did the other couple with whom we dined, received nothing but raves. Kissed by a balsamic glaze, caressed by Panko breadcrumbs, and pillowed on mixed greens splashed with lemon dressing, it was indeed an auspicious beginning. Desserts were also quite good... and our little group managed to sample several noteworthy possibilities. My dining partner, for example, enjoyed the Limoncello Cake while I opted for the Apple Tart with French vanilla ice cream. But by far the most interesting dessert of the evening was the Peach Melba, which was shared by the other couple. Actually, "interesting" is something of a misnomer, as the history of this famous confection is as intriguing as its checklist of ingredients is delicious. Peach Melba is a dessert of peaches, raspberry sauce, and vanilla ice cream (Agua's version also adds whipped cream). It was invented in 1892-93 by French chef Auguste Escoffier at London's Savoy Hotel to honor Australian soprano Nellie Melba. In 1892, or so the story goes, Ms. Melba was performing Wagner's opera Lohengrin at Covent Garden. At a dinner party in her honor, Escoffier presented her with a dessert of fresh peaches served over vanilla ice cream in a silver dish perched atop an ice sculpture of a swan (which is featured in the opera). Originally Escoffier called the dish Pêche au Cygne (Peach with a Swan). Several years later, however, he changed the recipe slightly by adding a topping of sweetened raspberry purée and renamed the dish Pêche Melba. Tasty fried artichokes and tempting desserts notwithstanding, it was the entrées that proved to be the kitchen's undoing... And topping the list of eminently forgettable items was my Pan Seared Atlantic Swordfish, which was overly breaded, unattractively hefty of countenance, exhibited a decidedly mushy texture, and tasted offputtingly "fishy" in spots. Ill-chosen accompaniments such as gloppy white beans, olive tapenade, and bland, under-seasoned, undercooked vegetables did absolutely nothing - either gastronomically or asthetically - to remediate this sorry state of affairs. Definitely not the kitchen's finest hour. While other entrées were not as distasteful as my swordfish, they were still nothing to write home about. My dining partner, for example, wasn't exactly thrilled with her Chicken Parmigiana. Not that it was beneath contempt... but she certainly had seen and tasted better in numerous other establishments. What was particularly telling to me was that the kitchen appeared to be rather careless with its entrée presentations. The food photos I observed on the restaurant's website were strikingly beautiful. Up close and personal, however - in the flesh, so to speak - their appearance clearly lacked a certain savoir faire. And for an establishment that seemed to posture itself as significantly above the ranks of plebeian cookery, this was an unappetizing paradox indeed. The major offender in this regard was undoubtedly the Wild Mushroom Ravioli swimming in a madeira cream sauce. Which, while a feast for the palate - at least according to the other gentleman in our party - was also famine for the eye, bearing, in my opinion, uncanny resemblance to the regurgitation of an endangered species. I don't mean to imply that each and every item placed before a diner needs to be a work of art... On the other hand, it should possess sufficient visual appeal to contribute to rather than detract from the enjoyment of an evening at table. In this instance, with just the slightest bit of effort, I think the kitchen could have made this particular presentation infinitely more pleasurable to the eye. An absolutely charming little BYOB, there is no question that Agua Bistro has all the makings of a first-rate eatery. That being said, however... for idealistic promise to become gastronomic reality, it appears that there must be a significant improvement in both the quality and the character of their entrées.
