My wife and I have close to or more than 1000 dining experiences in our time together. If Cava wasn't the best overall, it was an extremely close second. Our server Dan was awesome from start to finish. On point, Attentive, professional, and exceeded expectations on every level. Cava is a very intimate dining experience with a warm comfortable indoor and outdoor seating option. It is also very practical as a stop before going to the Music Hall, an important date or like us an anniversary. Cava is unlike many of the places we have visited over the years in the food category. Every course was exceptionally prepared, thoroughly thought out and professionally executed with excellent plating. I won't go into detail on every dish but suffice it to say there was enjoyment with every mouthful of every course. I ordered: Espresso Martini An Italian Pinot Grigio (with dinner) We shared the charcuterie plate First course - Mussels Second Course - Italian Meatball dish Third Course - Braised Flank Steak Fourth Course - Torte My wife ordered: A wonderful Rum with blackberry cocktail An Italian Pinot Grigio(with dinner) First Course- Warm Potato Soup Second Course- Stuffed and wrapped dates Third Course- Shrimp with Polenta Fourth Course- Blueberry Cheesecake

The outdoor area was extremely crowded, with people constantly standing right on top of our table taking pictures, which made the experience uncomfortable and far from relaxing. We also had a disappointing interaction with the bartender. We saw him making a drink and politely asked what it was because it looked interesting. Instead of being helpful, he simply dismissed us with, "I don't know," which came across as extremely rude and unwelcoming. To make matters worse, our waitress took over 20 minutes to even come to our table. When she finally did, we placed an order for drinks, but the drinks never arrived. At that point, we decided it wasn't worth staying. We got up and left and asked her to cancel the drink order. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. When you make reservations and expect a certain level of service, you should at least receive the seating you reserved, attentive service, and basic courtesy from the staff. Unfortunately, we received none of those things. We left without ever getting our drinks and would not return based on this experience.

On the positive side, service was friendly and fast. We visited during lunch and enjoyed sitting outside on the patio. Now, those soft sserve margarita's are something, big enough for two to share. Not sure how strong, and for my taste a bit too sweet, but I'm sure most will love it. Truly soft serve and not a frozen margarita. The ordering process seems a little complicated, I guess because you can totally customize. Our party all enjoyed our tacos, but nothing special here really, and small. They did provide complimentary chips and salsa which were good. I ordered a side of guacamole and found it to be underwhelming. It had an overpowering taste of cumin, and not the flavors of a delicious guac. Overall I thought prices were fair. I'm glad I finally tried it, but not sure I would be in a big rush to return.
