This review is about a year late, but my wife and I couldn’t tell you how happy we were to have our wedding there. Honestly, if I could give this place a 20/5 I would. The reason mainly being Randy. My wife and I couldn’t have been more grateful or appreciative about his passion and his help managing our big day. We ended up choosing all of the vendors off his list. They are truly the best of the best. I was stunned about how easy that made planning. The way he was able to help design and offer suggestions along the way helped so much. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner there. For what we wanted and what other venues were offering, Cafe La Cafe provided better quality and greater value. The food was absolutely amazing, the venue is stunning, and Randy helps tie everything together. Again, 20/5.

This was a wonderful experience. I never really paid attention to this place but I had a Groupon for this restaurant and wanted to try something new. I was pleasantly surprised, it was a cross between old-school Rat Pack hangout and a James Bond villains lair a'la Blofeld or Doctor No. The interior mimics the inside of a cave, thus the name La Cave. The table side service was incredible, where wait staff brings your food on a cart. The patrons are truly a mixed crowd, some that would seem incompatible on other venues, but all were welcomed equally. The food was classic steakhouse and all of my food selections were great. The bar has to be the centerpieces and I wish I had a chance to sit there and have my Whiskey Sour there, pre-dinner but will do so next time. Some would say this is a special occasion place, and a little pricey, but I think it could be a once a month sort of establishment; and you can't put a price on good and positive experiences. I would recommend to anyone to give this place a try and definitely get a reservation because it was really hopping on a Saturday night post 6pm.

Place is gorgeous the food was great Me and my family enjoyed ourselves so much at my cousin’s wedding. The place is big and has beautiful chandeliers and big huge old antique mirrors I love the restroom that has stairs going up to second floor. The dance floor is just right size and very cozy feeling. The food was delicious and I especially enjoyed the wine 🍷 as soon as I finished my glass the servers would refill my glass!!! Kudos to the servers very attentive and respectful. Overall experience was Great!!!

We went for our anniversary and we were impressed. The ambiance was amazing as our reserved table was in a little nook. The service was outstanding from the initial greeting through cocktails, appetizers, dinner and dessert. And the food was impeccable. A most enjoyable evening in the most enjoyable place.

And finally my wife agrees to my old stomping grounds for a real meal. It's only been 8 years. One of my favorites! Best dinner I have in a long time! Perfect everytime! Tino probably doesn't remember me from so long ago, but I always remember his awesome service after 47 years! You are missing it if you haven't been!! Making the most of our time off! #dinnerinacave

Celebrated my parents 60th wedding anniversary with a wonderful dinner at Cafe La Cave. Party of 12 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Service was top notch. Special thanks to Tino, Gilberto,Victor and James-great team. My husband had the best dirty martini made my Gus. Truly memorable evening.

I had my wedding reception at Cafe La Cave almost 20 years ago and have only been back a handful of times since then, unfortunately. For some reason the pasta they served at my reception popped in my head today and I remembered how amazing it was. I googled to see if Cafe la Cave was still around and of course it is! I would’ve been shocked if it wasn’t! I have the best memories from that night! The food was AMAZING, the classy, romantic feel of the room and the service was everything! I remember my husband and I had our own server that night and he kept bringing us either bud light or Miller light the entire evening so we never ran out! We had an ice sculpture that poured liquor a beautiful dessert table and a special request for a bottle of Grappa at each table where my father’s friends sat- which of course Randy made happen. After all these years, I still remember that night like it was yesterday and that’s because Cafe La Cave did everything to make it special! Here’s to continued success and good fortune and many thanks for a memorable evening 20 years ago! Cin cin!
