Cava is lovely. Everything about it, the food, people, wine, ambiance...you couldn't ask for a more perfect place! Carlos, Nadia, Ivan, Esau, Alberto...the whole gang are amazing! Try the Veedha...mmm
Raquel AlonsoMarch 23, 2013Great waitress and perfect for a date!! Delicious cheese platter, although the filet mignon is not filet at all. Recommend the empanadas con carne too.
Seriously- you can't go wrong here. Every time I come in I wonder why I'm not here every week. Owner is amazing and makes great recommendations. Follow his lead and enjoy the tastiest meal you've had!

Alan CordovaNovember 13, 2011In the winter, don't sit near the door or on the left side (as you enter) of the restaurant - every time someone opens, the door, you get blasted with cold air, since there's no vestibule.
