I've heard great things about Cava for years but it's taken a long time for me to actually go. Part of the reason is that it's quite pricey, and having visited Spain, I feel deeply that good tapas shouldn't have to cost an arm and a leg.
But in the end, I was glad that I finally tried Cava. The food was really really fantastic! We started off with some delicious pinchos- my favourite was definitely the foie gras. It really packed a great punch of flavour. Other highlights included the roast Brussel sprouts with black garlic and charred octopus. The one thing that I would actually recommend skipping is the paella. It wasn't bad, but I didn't think it was worth the $65 price tag. I'd rather spend that money on a couple of other tapas.
All in all, I really enjoyed the dinner experience at Cava, but I'm not so sure I will be coming back very soon as it is quite pricey. I'd recommend it for a special occasion.
