Food and service were both exceptional. Restaurant was quite loud with many holiday meetings and parties happening around. Great energy, but much louder than what I was hoping for for a sit down restaurant

CAVA MEZZE continues to be a Favorite because of the Food & Service. We highly recommend the Scallops over a safron risotto, Spicy Lamb Sliders and Chicken Souvlaki paired with the Malbec from Argentina. Our Server Camille who was both knowledgeable & charming. She helped to Make our evening most delightful. Being a former restauranteur I couldn’t help but notice that the Manager was welcoming & hard working. Give yourselves a well deserved Treat by visiting Cava Mezze. Be sure to make a reservation because the word is out. The place was full.

Cava Mezze in Olney is halfway between our kid's home in Columbia and our sister's home in Bethesda. 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!
