Friday night is busy so be sure to make a reservation. The bar is inviting and filet is consistently excellent. The restaurant atmosphere, food and service attracts a group of regulars. Wine by the bottle are fairly priced. my wife and I have enjoyed La Cave many times and I’m sure you’ll enjoy dinner will enjoy it also.

We were seated in the back or secondary dining room. It sure doesn't have the same ambiance as the main room. The food was outstanding, as we have always had here. Like everywhere anymore, the prices were much higher.

The food was as expected: very good. Between us, we had the ribeye, the filet and shrimp scampi. Even though the tables are very close together, it still felt like an intimate setting given the dividers between the seats. We arrived a little early and ordered drinks at the bar. I asked for a vanilla lemon drop drink and the bartender had never heard of one before but took that as a challenge to make. He didn’t look it up, he just made it like it sounded and it was on point. One of the best I’ve had. Well done on your bartenders part.
