Review Summary

Kava offers a stylish and energetic atmosphere that many patrons find perfect for a night out, birthdays, or celebrations, frequently highlighting the beautiful decor, live DJ performances, and high-quality cocktails. While the food consistently earns praise for its fresh ingredients and flavorful Mediterranean-inspired dishes, experiences with service tend to vary significantly. Many guests report feeling well taken care of by professional and attentive staff, yet others have noted issues with slow pacing, disorganized service, and inconsistent professionalism. Despite some mixed feedback regarding portion sizes, pricing, and volume levels, the majority of visitors appreciate the vibrant vibe and intend to return, noting that the management often goes above and beyond to accommodate requests and ensure a memorable visit.

Un vrai coup de coeur !

Une soirée parfaite du début à la fin pour célébrer notre anniversaire de mariage.

Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis avec une attention incroyable. L'ambiance est magnifique, chaleureuse & raffinée, on se sent tout de suite bien.

Le service était impeccable : une équipe passionnée, souriante & à l'écoute, qui a vraiment contribué à rendre notre soirée spéciale.

Mais le plus marquant reste l'expérience dans l'assiette : nous avons choisi plusieurs mezzés à partager, & chaque plat était délicieux, créatif & rempli de saveurs. Chaque détail est soigné, de la présentation jusqu'aux goûts. On sent le travail & la passion derrière chaque plat.

Nous avons adoré chaque moment de cette soirée.

Merci à toute l'équipe de Kava pour votre accueil chaleureux, votre attention & pour avoir contribué à rendre notre anniversaire de mariage encore plus mémorable.

Une chose est certaine : nous reviendrons ! ✨

Nous étions un groupe de + 20personnes, donc quand même nombreux, & avions un menu de groupe fixe. Pour commencer par le positif: l'ambiance est bonne, la musique aussi. Le moins positif: la nourriture est un 3/5, tres moyenne. La cote de boeuf etait ok sans plus. Les cocktails n'etaient vraiment pas fameux. Le negatif: le service. Un mauvais service de par sa lenteur & par l'absence de communication evidente entre les employés. Temps de service super long, consignes de cuisson des plats non respectées, erreurs sur les factures car les employés ne se parlent pas, & pour finir la serveuse justifie le pourboire demandé de 18% par le fait qu'elle a'fait son travail', sans considération du fait qu'un bon service n'est pas un travail individuel mais un travail d'equipe. Bref si vous aimez plus un restaurant pour l'ambiance que l'esthétique le Kava peut etre une option, sinon passez votre chemin.

I had a reservation on June 17 at 7:00pm. Me & my party of 4 had the woman who was white & blonde as server. The food was okay & service was pretty slow considering the fact that there was only less than 10 other people dining in. When it came time to pay I hesitated since I really did not enjoy my experience there & the server was quick to jump at me saying that tip isn't included & 15% isn't enough & that 18% is usually what people go for. That being said I then proceeded to tip 15% under the pressure of my server. After I had already paid, she proceeded to start going back & forth with me & started talking about how she has to pay 8% of every bill when she works & asked me, & i quote,'have you ever been a server before?' I replied yes because I actually have. She then adds something between the lines of'oh you were a server? how did you feel when customers walked out & didn't tip?' I said how it's normal A LOT of people actually do it & it doesn't bother me because at the end of the day it's my JOB to SERVE. She adds on again saying'oh you were working at 12$/hr? well when I go out I always tip 25%.' I find this very rude considering I had already paid & tipped & she continued to argue with me. Tips are based on service & your experience, mine wasn't good so I wanted to reflect that on my bill. It took her 15 minutes after giving our initial round of drinks to come & take our order of food. Very unpleasant experience.

I had the worst experience there on my birthday at kava .

First, the service was extremely slow. Second, they had to change our order because the dish we originally wanted was no longer available wich is totally fine but The replacement dish was less expensive, yet we were still charged for the original, more expensive item.

Third, there were very drunk customers who kept bothering us. To make matters worse, one of them ended up breaking a beer glass on our table, & there was glass & alcohol on my friend's lap. The staff did not do much to address the situation or accommodate us after this complete mess it's completely terrible.

This is the first time I've ever written a review because the experience was truly that bad. I would not recommend this place at all .
