This restaurant was way off that night. Once seated it took 15 minutes for the server to introduce himself to us, then everything we ordered came at one time and the meats which were requested rare were well done and then asked to be refired which took a while to come back to our table. Lastly, the server rarely check in on us. Was there during pandemic outside and service and food was great but this time, pretty bad.

Over priced for the quality. Don't order the ahi, as it didn't seem fresh. Otherwise fun casual place to eat. Bill should have been half of what we paid.

We had no family in town this week so we decided to go out for thanksgiving dinner. The menu was pre set but we knew that prior to arrival. We arrived on time and our table was was clean and ready, no wait to be seated. , we both loved the dinner. The turkey was cooked to perfection, moist and delicious, the potatoes were tasty as was the stuffing. The green beans were more al denté then I like but still very good. The desert consisted of 3 smallish pieces of pie, Pean, pumpkin, and apple . All three were very good. All in all we had a wonderful no drama stress free thanksgiving dinner- a huge thank you to the excellent wait staff and cooks in the kitchen that made this festive dinner possible not only for us but the other guests as well. That all of you for a very nice dinner.

Overall I enjoyed myself at Cavanaugh?s on a Sunday. I was in attendance to celebrate a friends birthday. They played Pandora for most of our visit but a DJ became playing music around 7pm. I enjoyed the fried shrimp and veggie platter provided but thechicken wings were fried to hard for my liking (they were a bit dry) but they looked delicious. Now the biggest things that Idid not care for during this visit was the bar. The male bartender (a female came on later on around 6pm or 7) while making ourdrinks dropped the lime on the outdoor bar and instead of tossing it, he put it on the side of the cup as garnishment. I didn?torder another drink after that and stuck to beer in a can. After that I sat at the bar to watch how he worked and not one timedid I see him wash his hands, wipe the bar down, or clean up the salt from the plate of salt that was on the bar for what Ibelieve was used for margaritas that blew down the bar from the wind. Unfortunately, that is a turn off for me so I don?t everneed another drink at this bar. Also, the food for the party should have been setup in the reserved area of the party and noton the opposite side of the bar. Shortly after the food was brought out, I walked over to get a plate of food and had tocontinuously swat away an annoying fly that was hovering over the uncovered food. Another turnoff for me. So I won?t drink hereunless it?s in a can or bottle and I?ll eat before I arrive if attending for a party.

I enjoy gooding on Sunday nights. I frequent the establishment 3 years ago and had a really nice evening. I returned with my cousin and again a good time had. We didn't order from the menu our interest was drinks and music. Good music decent crowd greatambiance and atmosphere. It's beautiful in the summer to hang out and have the view across the water from the deck of the cityas your backdrop!
