    Waiter Jacob was great. Food was great. The noise was ridiculously loud. We had to almost scream at each other to hear each other. But I bet on a night that is not a Friday or Saturday when the bar is packed, it would be great!

    Our server Genevieve was AMAZING! She was very interactive with my 4 year old. She also made great recommendations on the menu. There was another super attentive manager but I didn’t get his name. Food was good, came quickly and was hot. Always a pleasure to dine there!

    We had reservations. The restaurant contacted us to confirm our reservation the day of. We arrived 15 min before our scheduled time. We were seated right away. The hostess was welcoming. Our waitress came to our table within a couple of minutes. We were asked if we dined there before. This was our first time. The waitress explained how it all worked. Plates are to be shared. We had the zucchini fritters. We did not like these. They were too mushy. A group of 4 sat beside us and they had zucchini chips from the bar. They said it was from the happy hour menu at the bar. Those looked delicious. We ordered the lamb chops (medium) with fries. Those lamb chops were so flavorful. The fries were hot and crispy. The pita bread with spicy harissa was so good. Hot and tasty. We almost ate the whole basket. We ordered the lamb sliders. It needed nothing additional. Absolutely scrumptious. This will not be our last time coming here. Our server was awesome! Thanks for the quality service and great food. Please offer the zucchini chips on the main floor. We also liked the fact that the regional manager walked the floor to ensure service was maintained. What a nice presence. We had a chance to chat with him.

    6 of us went for Sunday brunch and couldn't believe how much food we got. The $38 per person gets you jalapeno hushpuppies, your choice of 3 main dishes and .25 cent mimosas. The quality of the food is excellent, and brunch is a great way to try lots of things. We had so much leftover will have breakfast tomorrow.

    The food was yummy and came out quickly. Prices reasonable and good for sharing. Main entrees were small so load up on apps. When my lamb chops came out undercooked, the staff was gracious and fixed it quickly. Fun, casual place to celebrate a birthday!

    We return to Cava Mezze for the Food, Service & Vibe. Be sure to order the Scallops Risotto w. Saffron, Chicken Souvlaki, & Spicy Lamb Sliders. We also met a Server Extraordinaire named JOEY and enjoyed a bottle of UPWELL CAB from Sonoma CA. Give yourselves & friends a real Treat. Come on / You deserve it!

    What a wonderful experience if you lovey Greek food, which I do. My friend and I had a great lunch, starting with Saganaki. The flaming cheese with pita was perfect though I had to remind the server the yell, “Opa”when he ignited the cheese! The Village Salad was perfect, crowned with a nice block of feta and capers, & no lettuce. My friend had a trio of mini gyros, which included several French fries, exactly as we had in Greece. I don’t live in the area but will definitely make the effort to return. It is worth the trip!
