Only complaint is that we ordered one chicken dish that was huge so we had way too much food. They should tell you when you’re at a tapas type restaurant that a dish is that generous! Overall the food was great. Spanakopita is the best around

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.
