    Greens + Grains Bowl
    Elizabeth R.

    My fav fast food spot for a quick lunch! The food is always fresh and delicious. I love all the topping and meat choices. There is something for everyone. The staff is always friendly. Even when busy, they get people moving through the line fast.

    I would die for cava. It is always there for me whenever i forget to take out meat to cook dinner. It always hits and is the easiest choice in the family. The service is always top notch.

    My husband is out of town and I didn't feel like cooking, but wanted something healthy for my daughters and me. I haven't tried Cava but they rave about it, so we placed an order online and picked it up. I got the greens and grain bowl with lentils and half falafel and half lamb meatballs. I thought the falafel was awesome! I added the super greens, hummus, a bunch of the toppings and the shoog (probably spelling it wrong) dressing and the Greek dressing in case. Loved both of them. The side of pita was nice too, and I used it to scoop up the hummus. I looked at their menu and there are tons of choices, so I'll definitely be back to work my way through the menu.

    I had a mobile order for three different bowls and they were made very quickly and were ready in 10 minutes. My spicy lamb bowl ($14) was mostly made correctly just forgetting to add corn. The lamb meatball were quite good, but seemed a little small( a total of 3 meatball? and could've definitely had another one or two in addition. Overall flavors were quite good, I personally tried a bunch of toppings and sauce that didn't mesh well (my fault for mixing to many things) but amazing by themselves.

    I so wanted to love this place because my husband gets food from here all the time and raves about it. I was so disappointed, I spend $22 on a lamb bowl with pita chips and a drink and the portion was so little. I was hungry 2 hours later. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day. I will stick with chipotle.

    Food was hot as expected. The staff is very friendly and everyone I walked past spoke. Very quick in and out. Everything is very clean. Everyone was very welcoming. Perhaps the best Cava I have visited. Thankyou!

If they aren't part of the decor, it was a treat nonetheless. We stepped inside from the rain with a parking spot very near the door. I snapped a pic on the way in to capture it's essence. We risked another walk-in with no reservations, and we snagged two prime end seats on the communal table. There were two open seats at the bar as well; might come in handy some other rainy Thursday night. The server, Murphy M., judging by the receipt, who helped my partner and I with our order, was a gracious host and incredibly well-practiced. It was a master class in serving, made effortless by him. He could not have been more accommodating, as we saw him appear inevitably at the exact right moments. Our server offered us bread and oil before the appetizer. The bread here is made fresh daily. It was so soft, I could not tell the difference from store bought. The food was exquisitely well prepared, the chefs and kitchen staff are immensely skilled. The appetizer was presented to us within a relatively short amount of time. We had time for a short discussion before the it arrived. The Tiropita was described as "four pieces of heaven." Accurate. The phyllo was thin and crisp, and the feta was creamy and delicious. I was careful not to bite too hard and ruin my pants. I had the Kotopoulo, which is a feta-brined oven-baked chicken with lemon and herbs served with lemon potatoes. The dish was cooked to perfection. The cooked potatoes were exactly as I like them, soft yet held their shape. It was an excellent meal, if a bit unwieldy (it's like half a rotisserie chicken, basically). My partner had the Hilopites, an egg noodle dish with giant beans, pine nuts, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, and feta, in a creamy, savory sauce that I couldn't begin to describe with mere words. The meals were both stunning, made unclear by my disastrous photography. All that being said, I did not really enjoy my meal as I was expecting. Maybe it's me, maybe it's today, or maybe the flavors simply weren't what I am accustomed to with the dozens of Greek restaurants from my past. I'm uncertain, and that's okay sometimes. Either way, it was a fantastic experience, and I will dine here again.

Katie, our server who was also working the bar, was great. She was friendly, very attentive, and gave very good recommendations. I had to try the orecchiette alla campagna which had a lot of raves.

It was a milk custard wrapped in phyllo that was baked and soaked in honey. The baklava was fine as well. Texture was good and not too sweet. The men's room was very clean and smelled so pleasant. Would definitely come back!

While I had visited Uliveto once during its opening, after tonight, I can confidently say it won't be my last visit! The Uliveto Paloma cocktail was a delightful and refreshing surprise. Every dish, from the bread to the pasta, was simply exquisite. For appetizers, we savored the bruschetta, which featured the freshest, most flavorful tomatoes; the calamari, which was nothing short of fantastic; and the crab fingers, which I didn't sample myself but my friends couldn't stop raving about (as you can see in the photo!). For our main courses, we indulged in the Limone Pasta, the Amatriciana Pasta, and a steak served with mashed potatoes that was absolutely divine. None of us managed to finish our entrees, and we were too full for dessert. However, here's a tip for your next visit: consider ordering 2-3 appetizers, share a main dish, and definitely save room for dessert!

    Food is absolutely delicious and deserves 5 stars…read more However, the tables are so incredibly close together that you have no room to sit comfortably. If you do not like tight spaces, this is NOT the restaurant for you. There isn't even any room to set down your coat. Not to mention the tight space makes it so insanely loud.
