Cava Mezze - DC

A very lively atmosphere. Food is delicious with great flavours and heat. Prices are about 10-15% higher than expected for size of portions. Recommended: saganaki table-side-fired and the dip tasting. Shrimp and orzo are great. Pass on the Santorini Sunrise cocktail—it isn’t as good as it sounds.

I really enjoyed the brunch. I will definitely go here again. I did come around 3PM and I was still able to enjoy brunch. I was really happy that the bar also did the brunch service. Even though I came by myself, I met some interesting people at the bar. All they need to have are some more vegan options.

Great spot for a large group brunch on weekends if you get a reservation several days or more in advance- bottomless brunch is $35 plus 25 cents per mimosa. Downside is the brunch doesn’t include coffee and that’s $4 extra which is a little ridiculous for coffee... but all of the brunch foods we got with the sampler/bottomless tapas dishes were great. Especially loved the brussels benedict, the spicy lamb sausage and egg, the frittata omelette, and the green eggs & ham. Nutella banana waffle was a great dessert. Service could have been better but overall solid experience!

Amazing Mediterranean restaurant at which you create your own bowl. All ingredients were well seasoned and prepared. The portions are on the large size. The first floor is small, but upstairs has more seating. Highly recommended for a quick bite that is economical.

The food is phenomenal. I was hesitant at forest because the other quick cava restaurant is just alright, but here is a full sit down restaurant with a pretty big menu and the food was great. The service was outstanding, our waitress was really cool and talked us through the menu as well as giving some great suggestions.

We visited for dinner on a Friday night. We enjoy Cava Grill, so our expectations were high. The spanakopita was by far our favorite dish, and is worth a visit on its own. Some of the other dishes were overpriced, particularly when compared to their rapidly growing fast casual empire's selection and value.

Sunday brunch was great unlimited mini dishes of all kinds. We had a wonderful time testing out different dishes kids enjoyed it so much...

Delicious food, the only negative is that the food came out slow. We ordered biscuits as appetizers and they didn't come out until our main dishes came out. Everyone's food came at different times and we were brought food we didn't order multiple times. For small plates and mostly being eggs, you would think it doesn't take that long to make. Still would go back since it was yummy but just wish the service and/or kitchen was a bit more organized. Also, my poached egg was overdone (see pic).
