    Several girlfriends and I had dinner here prior to catching a movie one evening. Most of us made our own bowls, which is such a fabulous option here. All of the ingredients are so fresh and so tasty! I decided to upgrade to get the lamb as my protein and enjoyed a bunch of the different veggies and toppings. I finished it off with the garlic sauce which is fabulous. Super nice staff, wonderful food.

    I've never been to a CAVA before. There was no one else in line when I arrived at 5pm on a Friday so we had time to figure out what we wanted. A line started for me only like few minutes after we placed our order. I went with the lentil avocado bowl and my partner got the lamb meatball pita. The lentil avocado bowl was very good. I wished I got the dressings on the side because there was a little too much dressing mixed in the bowl. Some of the raw cabbage slices were too big. It would have been nice if a side came with the bowl like the pita chips and if there was a little bit more falafel. I felt satisfied after eating the whole bowl. I enjoyed the variety of vegetables in the bowl and the flavors mixed all together, especially with their "hot" sauce. Their hot sauce is mildly spicy. My partner also enjoyed his lamb meatball pita. Didn't try their dessert options as they were just packaged and made in another state. Trier three of their juices from their juice dispensers: the blueberry lavender, strawberry citrus, and lemonade. The blueberry lavender was the best out of the three. Strawberry citrus tasted like there was artificial sweetener. This is a good place to get fast casual healthier Mediterranean food.

    I came in tonight to give Cava another shot. I still do not see appeal to this place. I absolutely love Mediterranean food but do not find any of their seasonings or food here that good. The place was very clean and staff were friendly and making sure to stay continuously busy cleaning. I haven't been eating a lot so I asked if I could get a kids pita. They said I could so I ordered a grilled chicken pita with carrots and lettuce on the side. I hate to say it but the best parts of the whole meal were the romaine lettuce and the actual pita bread. The ranch for the carrots was gross and the chicken itself was overly seasoned. For the prove of $6.99 I was very happy with the amount of food.

    Yes yes yes, go to Cava!!! Okay okay hear me out- I tried visiting here about 2 months ago when they first opened, like any business just opening, it was a mess, and PACKED. However, my food tasted good- so I knew I would come back in a few weeks. Here I am 2 months later, I hyped this place up to my husband. He's a big chipotle fan and I'm just not that into it, but I love Mediterranean food so I knew this would be my jam. After hyping it up and walking him through the steps of the process he made some choices for his bowl. I always get the Tahini Chicken Caesar Bowl- it's not listed up on the large menu but it's one of their curated bowls on the website that I looked up prior to my first visit. If you want a classic Mediterranean bowl, order this!!!! It's not spicy & it has such a great mixture of flavors. There is just a salad base, no rice- so if you're looking for grains you could always add that. I also opt to add my own veggies from the topping bar at the end to get in some extra goodies. Whatever you do ORDER THE PITA CHIPS. They are fried pita slices of perfection that pair so nicely with dipping for your bowl. I can't rave enough about the pita chips. Like I said, I saved my review for CAVA after giving them a bit of time, and I'm glad I did. My experience was much better this time, the staff was more knowledgeable and felt more comfortable with creating the bowls you ask for or answering questions. I'm so glad we have a Cava and I hope it sticks around!!!

    The Lemon Chicken.

    Decided to try this place for lunch, arrived early , head heard it gets busy after 12. It's a fairly simple menu , but has options. I decided on the Lemon Chicken; chicken , crazy feta, red pepper hummus, pickled onions, roasted corn, persian cucumber, greens, preserved lemon vinaigrette and a pita wedge( hold the feta and dressing on the side) . You get to watch them create your food , so you get exactly what you ordered. It was super fast , and plenty of seats to choose from. It is loud in the restaurant, nothing to buffer the noise. The chicken was pleasantly spiced, and cooked perfectly. The dressing light , not oily and pleasant. The food was delicious and I would venture back and try another bowl or pita. The pitas looked spectacular and huge- so bring your appetite. It does get very busy after noon, so go early.

    Yummy! Expensive tho. Why does Yelp make these reviews have to be so long? The kids meal is one of the best out there.

When we've come with friends or larger groups, the service has been much more mediocre. The first time we visited, one of the waitresses was surprisingly rude when I asked about vegetarian options. All she said was "salad," despite there being multiple salads (2 out of the 3) on the menu, including a Caesar with anchovy and a wedge salad with bacon. Thankfully, another staff member stepped in and was much more helpful and respectful. I'm not sure why vegetarian requests are sometimes treated like an inconvenience or unusual concept. I'm married to a huge meat eater and enjoy going to places he likes, but I do wish vegetarian guests were met with a little more patience and understanding. Especially when I am the one paying the bill. The atmosphere is loud and busy, but they are generally accommodating. For larger parties, they require a credit card to hold the reservation and give a limited grace period, with a fee of around $15 per person for no-shows. I understand why restaurants have policies like this, but it felt a little unfair considering we still had to wait around 15-20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. If guests are expected to strictly follow time slots, I think the restaurant should also try to hold themselves to those same standards. It also took close to two hours for our food to come out, and we repeatedly had to ask for smaller things like water or hot sauce. I completely understand that larger parties can take longer, but we were a group of seven, which didn't seem unusually large. Overall, the food and atmosphere keep us coming back, but the consistency in service could definitely be improved.
