    The decor was lovely and posh, but it was very loud inside and they had an event going on with microphones… adding to the noise, and my food was VERY salty, greasy and a bit too vinegary. Everyone liked the desserts though and our server was so lovely and attentive.

    The bar area at the Cavalier is lively and a fun place to dine with friends or for a date at the bar. Cocktails are great and the full menu is offered. The Marlowe burger (their sister restaurant) with fries is delicious. The Skirt steak, beet salad, and Tuna Carpaccio were all solid. Special shout out to the host, Joel, who helped us with a last minute reservation on a busy night. Great team of servers and bartenders. Great place to go with a big group.

    Appreciated that they accommodated a last minute change to our reservation. Every dish was a bit heavy handed on the salt. Service was fine - not sure why all our dishes came out at once - pacing was terrible and our dishes barely fit on our table. We sat on the bar side - it was so loud, we could barely hear each other.
