Overall, diners praise KAVA for its stylish ambience, lively vibe, and the live music, making it a great option for a night out or a date. The menu is described as flavorful and generous with fresh ingredients, and the cocktails are often highlighted as well balanced. Service is frequently praised for being attentive and friendly, with smooth bar service and staff who create a welcoming atmosphere. On the downside, some guests feel portions can be small for the price, and a few visits mention slower service during peak times and louder music that can affect conversation, with a few dishes not meeting expectations. Despite these points, the overall experience is described as enjoyable and worth returning for, with many planning to come back with friends.
Our group (with reservation) didn't had food serve at about the same time. The service wasn't coordinated. Entry were mixed up or never arrived some had their main served & finished with other having never received the side (meant to be with the main) ... Vibe is nice waiter was nice (attitude) but all the other things were a mess.
Food quality or taste wasn't good enough to make us forget about the wait & all other issue
On est allés souper en famille chez Kava samedi soir, pis honnêtement… c'était écoeurant!
L'ambiance était vraiment le fun, beau vibe, bonne musique avec le Dj. Le service aussi était super attentionné, rapide, sourire tout le long, on s'est sentis bien accueillis.
& la bouffe… wow. Tout était savoureux, bien présenté, rien à dire.
C'est clair qu'on va revenir, pis je vais le recommander à mes amis. Merci à toute l'équipe
Great vibe, warm service, & the food was delicious from start to finish. The dishes were fresh, well-seasoned, & beautifully presented. The atmosphere was energetic without being overwhelming, & the staff made us feel taken care of the whole time.
Definitely a place I'd come back to.

Amazing spot! The food was great & the vibe was perfect. Huge shoutout to the hostess-she was so sweet & welcoming. Made the whole experience even better!
Soirée parfaite chez Kava Griffintown 🥂🖤 Champagne Laurent-Perrier rosé, huîtres fraîches servies avec une petite sauce maison trop bonne, & les calamars frits… genre croustillants à souhait, bien assaisonnés, pas gras. C'était juste parfaits.
Belle ambiance chic. On a pris notre temps, bien mangé. L'hôtesse était super accueillante, souriante & attentive. ça met direct dans une bonne vibe dès l'arrivée.
I went for a birthday & we had such a great time. The food was excellent & the vibes too. Very good ambiance, music & decors. They even have a violonist playing!
