    Chicken, Spinach, Avocado & More Bowl
    Kevin D.

    Tasty Meal, Great Service. I visited this Cava location in North Bethesda first time today. Located on busy Rockville Pike. The dining area is spacious considering the small restaurant footprint. I invited a friend to just me for lunch. We arrived late afternoon & scored a table. The place is busy. Our meal-she had chicken/rice bowl; I had chicken on a bed of baby spinach w/asst. toppings. The chicken, spinach, pickled onions & tzatziki particularly fresh and flavorful. Delicious! My friend really enjoyed her meal. See Photo-generous portion. Prompt courteous customer service.

    Came here for dinner on a Wednesday evening and had a lovely experience! Very fast and casual. The workers were all nice and efficient. Made my own bowl for ~$11.50. Very fair price for the amount of food. I left very full! Lots of different options. Ingredients felt very fresh and the flavors were great! Lots of vegetable options and sauce options that were delicious. A good mix of everything and could make whatever you wanted! Would come back!

    How best to describe Cava? Think of a fresh and Mediterranean version of what Chipotle was when it first started. I have not been eating out much lately, but I decided to try this place on a whim, and I am so happy I did. I had the grains and greens bowl, and it was delicious! First, you select either a bowl or pita (think wrap or salad) and start by adding your choice of protein, vegetable, or grain. Protein choices include grilled chicken or lamb; there is a vegetarian option for falafels or a sweet potato vegetable thing. There are several add-ins, such as olives, feta cheese, Persian cucumbers, etc. Finally, I highly recommend adding the pita chips to your bowl for a nice crunch. The price is about $12.

    The powerful teamwork of a great Cava Staff in Rockville Maryland.

    What an Awesome Cava location. I had a Cava bowl that was filled with so much life and colorful veggies. Plant life gives you life and gives energy. Eating a Veggie bowl have improved my circulation and overall health. I lost 10 pounds Eating a bowl 2 times a week and excercing lightly. The staff at the Rockville location "Rock"!! They are alway smiling and have a positive spirt. Their energy and great customer service always keep me coming for more. I must mention that this location are staffed with mostly female employees. Watch out guys, you better be nice to these women. They are taking over the world. This review was very well worth taking the time to share my positive experience with everyone. You should try this Cava location yourself for the experience and food. Have a safe and blessed day.

    I got so many ingredients

    I prepaid with the CAVA app last night to have it ready today at 11:00 AM. Excellent experience. The curbside pickup process was seamless. I called the number in the confirmation e-mail, and they even had an extension to dial (4) for curbside pickup so their crew members know what type of call it is. That's cool. My food was ready and bagged up and delivered to me by a friendly crew member within 30 seconds. I got like two meals worth for $13, but I totally devoured about 90% of it in the parking lot and thought to myself, what have I done, what have I become? COVID has made me give fewer damns about being gluttonous. It was just so so good. Every single ingredient down to the lettuce was perfect. The last bite was as scrumptious as the first. It was like 4 lbs of food (exaggeration). Amazing. They also gift you a free bowl for your birthday if you have the app. So download the app!

    Tons of free parking in front of shop. Accepts both cash and credit card. You can also earn points through their cava app. We came here during the weekend while in the area. Their layout is similar to other cava locations. The food is fresh, but customer service was a bit spotty. The cashier at the time charged me extra when I didn't order extra items. Luckily, the manager was there to refund me the difference. They do have plenty of tables here if you decide to eat inside. Wished the tables were more clean, but it was busy during the time.

    Last night I enjoyed some delicious food. I was able to build my own delicious bowl with their fresh ingredients. I'd love to walk you through the process, but sadly the process was a jumble for me. You see it was my first time there. I saw the the signs, understood the process, but the ingredients were unfamiliar to me. Of course, I asked the staff for help. That's logical, right? They was no line to speak of, still they were impatient. I didn't notice a name tag on the lady who didn't tell the names of ingredients and hurried put the ingredients in. The receipt shows the name of he cashier, who actually helped in the end. The cashier added dressing that was left out by the disconnected server as that server just laughed. My stomach happy while I am disappointed that service hasn't improved after consistent complaints. I may visit this location in the future believing in second chances.

    Greens and Grain and lemonade.

    Cava never disappoints. This was my first time trying this location and I was greeted with a warm welcome. The staff was friendly and moved quickly to fix everyone's food. The lemonade here was the best. If you're in the are and want something filling, flavorful, and quick.

    I stopped by here on my way home from the nearby climbing gym to grab a quick dinner. I love cava, but this location is not my favorite. Even at 9:30 pm there was somewhat of a wait to order food as they seemed busy and/or short-staffed. They were also out of several items as well as napkins. However, the deal-breaker for me was seeing a mouse scurry from under the dispenser with the napkins and utensils after a staff member went there to replenish the napkins. The mouse scurried to a little hole between the ground and the window (near the door), ran outside, then tried to return and finally ran away again. Later, as I sat outside eating my dinner, I saw it running around near the window/door area.

    I found a lady bug in my food.

    Not sure how I feel about this but I wasn't expecting to find a lady bug in my food. Especially since I was almost done.

It feels like a little slice of California in Bethesda, making it a great spot for a casual lunch, brunch, or dinner with friends. We started with the Potato Salad Deviled Eggs and Jalapeño Cornbread. Both were excellent, with the cornbread being a standout. Warm, flavorful, and served with a generous dollop of butter. For my entrée, I ordered the Herbed Chicken Breast Paillard, which was light, fresh, and well-seasoned. The arugula and lemon complemented the dish nicely without overpowering it. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the cookies for dessert. They definitely lived up to the hype and were the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The only area that fell short was the service. Our server was incredibly friendly, personable, and pleasant throughout the meal, but service felt inconsistent. There were several stretches where we didn't see our server for an extended period, which resulted in longer waits for our entrées and even getting a dessert menu. One example that stood out was when I asked for a to-go sleeve for one of my cookies. Unfortunately, it never arrived, and after waiting for a while, I ended up walking over to the bakery counter myself to request one. It was a little awkward because I was questioned about whether the cookie was actually mine before I could get the sleeve. While I understand the need to verify purchases, the situation likely could have been avoided had the original request been fulfilled. None of these issues were major enough to ruin the experience, but they did take away from what otherwise would have been a seamless visit. Overall, I'd still recommend Summer House Santa Monica for the atmosphere, quality food, and dessert selection. With a little more attentiveness on the service side, this could easily be a five-star experience.

I had to wait a few minutes for the host to return to the stand, but was seated promptly and a 4-top table in the center of the dining room. Service was attentive and polite. My water glass stayed full throughout and she helped me navigate the differences among several espresso martini options from the bar. The dining room has lovely high ceilings and the bathrooms were pristine. I ordered the Costa Mesa salad and added chicken. This brought the cost of my entree to $32 -- which I did not feel met the value for what I was served. The food was good, but there certainly wasn't enough of it or ingredients that I felt warranted the $32 price tag. I also took home four cookies ($5-$6 each) to share with my family. The cookies were good, but again, not worth the price tag. A return visit is probably not in the cards for me any time soon. This is a convenient spot to the iPic Theater and other "downtown" rockville spots so it might be nice to get brunch and then go to a movie or do some shopping. Parking is in a garage nearby.
