So it is great for convenience. There might be other options in Olney . . . but we always select Cava Mezze for the great food and outstanding service. This visit, we were spoiled by Christian. Each of his recommendations was spot-on - and he was consistently pleasant, professional and incredibly attentive. (and he is quite the photographer) And do yourself a favor - save room for dessert! The French Toast and the special (some chocolate/nut cookie bar) are spectacular!

The way the room is set up, there is no where for the noise to go or dampen the level of it. Food, drink selection, and service were fabulous. No pressure to rush. Recipes left you full but not stuffed. Able to sample many dishes with both meat and vegetables. Bread came out hot and paired well with various spreads. The Staff was very attentive. Always a pleasure to visit.
