Menu

The menu of Cavanaugh's from Evansville comprises about 186 different menus and drinks. On average you pay about $64.9 for a dish / drink.

Despite mixed reviews, this Riverfront restaurant offers a romantic ambiance and top-notch service. Dishes like truffle fries and French onion soup stand out, but consistency in food temperature seems to be an issue. While some patrons rave about delicious meals, others receive rare steaks and bland fare. Exceptional service from knowledgeable staff adds a positive touch. The establishment's old-school New York vibe and beautiful river views promise a memorable experience, even if the food quality is inconsistent. Perfect for special occasions or a low-key date night, this restaurant has potential for excellence with a few tweaks.

Was Jacob Johnson at Cavanaugh's a mag?
The restaurant and its staff were fantastic. I rated the food 4 out of 5, mainly because one dish didn't sit well with me – the lobster bisque. I'm not sure what was off, but after eating half a cup, I felt quite unwell, which unfortunately affected my enjoyment of the rest of my meal (although everything else was incredible). It's on the pricier side, but considering it's an upscale steakhouse, that's to be expected... View all feedback.

What Lazaro Jaskolski dislikes about Cavanaugh's:
Well, the server did not come by for a long time. Once we got our food, my steak was pretty good and so was my boyfriend’s prime rib but my Parmesan herb mashed potatoes were completely cold and his baked potato was Luke warm. We sat there for a while with empty glasses. We have ate here a few times but this was not one of the better times View all feedback.

I really enjoyed the ambiance of this restaurant. The service was excellent and our food came out in a timely manner. Surprisingly, the truffle fries were the standout dish for us. The French onion soup was also quite delicious.

The service at Cavanaughs is exceptional, combining professionalism with a personal touch that even impressed my 15-year-old child. My teenager chose to have a dinner at Cavanaughs over a party this year, which speaks volumes about the experience they provide. Despite being a tough critic, Cavanaughs managed to win over my teenager with their outstanding service.

First of all, the food is excellent. The steaks were cooked to perfection and nicely seasoned. The service was also quite good. Our dinner for two came to $200, which is what I expected...

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. Since it's located within Bally's Casino in Evansville, Indiana, it wouldn’t be fair to compare it to the dining experiences we've had in Las Vegas.
