This was, without a doubt, the worst Thanksgiving dinner I’ve ever had. The staff at CAVA were incredibly unaccommodating and seemed clueless about how to handle guests on such a significant occasion. I don’t usually write reviews, but I feel compelled to warn others about this experience. The problems started with the hostess, who seated us at arguably the worst table in the restaurant. The area was unbearably hot, with the blazing sun glaring directly at us. Our group included two toddlers and two seniors, yet when we requested to be moved, the hostess refused, claiming the other tables were reserved. However, even after an hour, no new customers arrived to occupy the nearby empty tables. The food itself was mediocre, with portions—particularly the meat cuts—so small they felt more like samples than a proper meal. The seating arrangements were thoughtless, adding to the discomfort of the entire evening. Worst of all, the staff’s unprofessional and unpleasant demeanor left us deeply regretting our choice to dine here for Thanksgiving. As a local, I can confidently say I will not be returning, nor would I recommend this restaurant to anyone. A truly disappointing experience.

Big difference from 2 years ago when we had lunch at Cava. Poor quality of food and service. Will not return. Looks like there is little or no management of the personnel.

The half chicken isn’t what I would call a half. But otherwise everything was great.

We chose items from the Restaurant Week menu and all three entrees were terrific. The food was cooked to perfection, the portions were generous and the food was served hot. We had a very pleasant experience and we could actually carry on a conversation since the area where we were seated was quiet.
