This place deserves no more than three stars. The food was mediocre at best. The calamari was average, & the accompanying sauce felt completely out of place. The octopus, while interesting, was not necessarily so in a good way. The internal flavors, mainly from the roasted fennel & the creamy celery purée, clashed rather than complemented each other, creating a strange & unbalanced profile. The flank steak suffered from a terrible sauce that entirely ruined what could have been a solid dish.

Overall, it felt like a restaurant built primarily for the aesthetic. The dishes look impressive at first glance, but fail to deliver once you actually taste them. Given this, the prices are far too high for the quality delivered.

That said, the venue itself is very appealing. The décor is well thought out, & the atmosphere is cozy & relaxed. It is clear that significant effort went into the design. Yet, the restaurant was less than half full on a Friday night, which is telling. The DJ played good music, but the volume was excessive, we could barely hear each other speak.

Overall, nothing remarkable. I will not be returning.

Let's start with the aesthetics-absolutely stunning. The lighting sets the perfect mood, it's cozy yet chic, gorgeous in every detail. It gives New York, it gives Manhattan, it gives money. Truly a vibe.

Now, the drinks-wow. Specially curated, high-end, & balanced to perfection. Each one has the perfect amount of alcohol & flavor, making them dangerously easy to love.

& the food… refreshing, fresh, & full of flavor. Every dish is beautifully composed & just as tasty as it looks.

Overall, this place is a dream. Chic atmosphere, impeccable drinks, delicious food-what more could you want?

I had a wonderful brunch experience at Kava. From the moment I arrived, everything was smooth & pleasant. I was promptly taken to my table. Service was quick & professional without feeling rushed.

I ordered the salmon toast, & it was delicious-beautifully presented, fresh, & full of flavor. The staff struck the perfect balance: attentive & warm, checking in just enough to make sure everything was going well without being overbearing.

The ambiance was a standout-elegant yet cozy. It has that elevated, luxurious feel without any pretension. Honestly, I could've sat there for hours just soaking it all in.

Prices were reasonable for the quality of food & service.
Overall, a fantastic experience. I'll definitely be back!
