We had a great first visit to Cabra! The food was delicious and well-balanced. We missed out on an item that we ordered, and service was slightly slow at the start, but the server was so personable and kind so we didn't mind. They sent us an incredible salad to compensate for the lag in service and we felt we'd had the perfect amount of food. Thank you Cole for your hospitality!

Wonderful place for birthday date night. Staff was very attentive and everything we tried was delicious. Doandy was our server and he did a great job. Muhamara with warm pita was yummy, and the butternut fatoush salad was very good and a generous portion. We had to try the pistachio ravioli paired with mushroom skewers, amazing! And they surprised us with a complementary birthday treat at the end of our meal.
