    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.

    The staff at Cava is always accommodating and the food is good and well priced for being part of the hotel/resort. It amazes me how quiet it is for the location and number of kiddos, but it’s quite peaceful the way it’s laid out.

    Definitely not worth the cost. I will say, the pork was excellent. The kids pasta was not very good at all. And the cheesecake was quite good as well.
