**Cava Restaurant Review: A Flavorful Experience with Room for Improvement** Nestled in a bustling area, Cava offers a vibrant dining experience characterized by fresh and flavorful food that has quickly earned a loyal following. While the assembly-style service may take some getting used to, many diners rave about the extensive vegetarian options and standout dishes like the lemon chicken and lamb salads. The buzz of chatter can create a lively atmosphere, but outdoor seating provides a more tranquil option for conversations. Overall, Cava is a popular choice for those seeking delicious meals, though some guests have noted occasional service inconsistencies.

Was Patrick at Cava a mag?
As a first-time customer on a Saturday evening, I found the restaurant to have a steady flow of patrons without being overcrowded. The seating is somewhat limited, but it seems appropriate for the location. I opted for the lemon chicken, and it was very flavorful. The drink options are quite good as well. Overall, I would rate the food a solid 5 out of 5. View all feedback.

What Thea Wolf dislikes about Cava:
The food was fantastic, but the assembly-style service can take a little getting used to. The interior of the restaurant is clean, but it can get quite loud. The flooring and walls create a lot of echo, making sounds and voices bounce around like ping-pong balls. My friend and I decided to eat outside; although many of the tables were occupied, it was much easier to hear and understand each other compared to being in... View all feedback.

The food was delicious! I dined in for lunch and spent between $10 and $20 per person. I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all 5 out of 5. I highly recommend trying the Rice Bowl, which comes with either Saffron Basmati Rice or Brown Basmati Rice. There is plenty of parking available, and it's a free parking lot.
