Experience dining approximately 30 feet below ground in historic caverns that were hand built in the 1800's. Accidentally discovered in 2018 during the building of our parent restaurant, Hudson and Essex, we have refurbished the caverns once used to store beer before air conditioning into a one of a kind dining experience. Every Friday and Saturday night we provide an 8 course dinner with wine pairings from our home winery ( Cypress Hill Winery ) using wines made with California grapes. Prepaid reservation only. Also available to book out for events.

8 Course Dinner in the Caverns
$165.00 per person
Prepaid
Multiple dates available
Experience an 8 course set menu curated dinner from our culinary team that is sure to tantalize your taste buds and wow you from beginning to end. Price includes tax and gratuity. Wine pairings available as an extra add-on. Our culinary team uses fresh local produce and the highest quality proteins available to create a rotating menu for the "foodie" at heart. You will be enjoying this experience in a comfortable dining setting nestled approximately 30 feet underground in caverns that were hand built in the 1800s. The caverns were discovered by accident while constructing our parent restaurant, Hudson and Essex. It was at that point that we knew we had to repurpose this piece of history into the most unique dining experience in the area.

It was a neat experience. It wasn't very busy which was wonderful for catching up with our friends as there wasn't much noise in the restaurant. The wine was surprisingly good.

We had a great time celebrating our anniversary. The food was absolutely wonderful, service was great. I really loved the atmosphere and history of the place. The owners came down and introduced themselves, I thought that was a nice touch. Thank you, Prohibition at the Caverns, for making our 8th anniversary one to remember.

Amazing service and food. Unfortunatly acoustics a challenge. We were seated by a table of eight and they were just extremely loud and inappropriate, but you cannot fault the staff and the chef for ignorance

The paired food & wine were fantastic. The service was excellent. The thoughtful ambiance (with soft, 1920's music) was wonderful. Although I came famished and prepared, I was still stuffed. I'd have been glad to have one less course. Thank you!

This was such an amazing experience. It was an awesome way to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. Im so glad I found this place on Google. Not only is it a restaurant but a cave and my husband and I love caves. We have been to a lot of them. The host/servers were great. The ambiance was lovely and very romantic. The food was weird but good, and that is coming from a picky eater. This was beyond a 5 star rating. We enjoyed every part of it. We even had the opportunity to meet the owners which was nice as well. Can't wait to come back!
