Cava Mezze Rockville offers upscale small-plate versions of Greek dishes. The Saganaki is marvelous. The Grilled Lamb Chops with fries are not to be missed. They are out of this world!
The Crispy Chicken Sliders were also shockingly complex and tasty- highly recommend.
The prices reflect the upscale dishes, so don't expect to get out without spending some bucks, but it's worth it, in my estimation.
We found the Grilled Shrimp and Zucchini Fritters bland. The Brussels Sprouts needed a spritz of lemon and some more salt to brighten up.
The atmosphere is my biggest complaint. The restaurant is TINY and they crowd as many tables as they can in this space. It's dark and loud. My dining companion and I had to practically shout to hear each other.
Still, I'll return because those lamb chops are THAT GOOD.
I loved the tzatziki and the hummus! The serving sizes are good for tapas. The complimentary pita and harissa were delicious as well.
The service was attentive and welcoming. It is pretty small inside the restaurant but there is ample outdoor seating.
The lamb sliders (2 sliders) and gyros ( 3 mini gyros) were flavorful and filling.
The Ekmek dessert was incredible- orange pastry cream, whipped cream, crispy pastry and honey.
Really good! Big fan of Cava, so I was excited to try Cava Mezze. We got the platter, grilled octopus, street corn, and cauliflower. The meat was cooked really well; I really loved the octopus! I would return for their delicious sounding desserts!!
Brunch at CAVA is never a fail. I highly suggest ordering the brunch menu and for everyone at your table to order something different so you can try it all. Very nice staff. Good options for brunch cocktails as well.
Started with the blueberry margarita and the barrel aged old fashion. Good, but a lot of ice.
The crazy feta hushpuppies were delicious, cooked to perfection.
The server recommend the chicken schnitzel - highly recommend!!! We also got the lamb sliders. Everything was fresh, warm and filling. Be sure you ask for the complimentary harissa & pita bread.
Next time I'm trying the chef d platter for the table.
An excellent experience all around with great food, service, and atmosphere! The menu is not huge but everything was delicious. Our server was incredibly personal and willing to offer his own candid recommendations. Definitely plan on going back
First time coming and didn’t know what to expect, but service was amazing, the food was flavorful, the cocktails were satisfying. Our server Pierce was a gem through the entire dinner giving us recommendations on the menu and being very accommodating to us. If I was the owner, I would feel very satisfied with the food, the drinks, as well as the customer service. I’ll be back, thank you again!!!!!
Just such a good spot and a the moment I don't know why I don't come more often.
The service has always been top notch when I come.
I was lucky enough to visit Santorini last year and the food here is legit. Takes me back every time.
The drinks are always done so well. At least in my experience.
I know a lot of people think of Cava grill (which I still really like), but This place is different. This place is great for a dinner out, a date night, or even just whining down the end of a day or week.
Hopefully you like it as much as I have, but I would personally always recommend this place.
We had a very good experience here. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back to try more. The lollipop chicken was exceptional along with the sweet potatoes.
This was the highlight eating experience of our trip. There were really delicious options that spanned the distance of flavortown. We are more than we should have since we just wanted to keep trying things! Our server was on point as well. If I have any criticism its that I don't enjoy really dimly lit eateries.
