We went to Cava on my birthday last Friday, the overall experience was great. The waitress was helpful in helping us make our selections and service was excellent. It was so good that I asked our waitress if they're open on Sunday, Jan 1st for us to return with a few other friends. Unfortunately they're close on new year's day.
Back to the meal, i had the supergilda (sardine) as my first dish which was a great way to start. Salt cod was excellent. Be sure to order the 24hr braised beef brisket, i think it's a winner.
On the down side we also ordered the cured pork which we find just OK... I've had better prosciutto bought from my local butcher.
To finished we shared the warm chocolate cake and even though it took 20 mins to arrive (our waitress had advised us prior) it's worth the wait.
PS - Cava has a very good selection of wine at a premium just like in any other restaurants. I'd suggest going on a SUNDAY as corkage is $0. (it's also the reason why I ask them if they're open on Jan 1st)
