Let's start with the staff; very welcoming & attentive. The food was was fresh, flavourful & well presented. A place i surely recommend.
New Year in Kava was fire, Thanx to Nabil for the hospitality ! We'll come back for sure !! 🔥
Rude & aggressive management, lack of transparency, & glaring double standards' Take it or leave it' attitude made the whole experience uncomfortable & unnecessarily hostile. This level of management is honestly ruining what could otherwise be a great restaurant.
We had a New Year's Eve reservation but were met with a manager who was rude & dismissive. We weren't informed that only a highly limited two-option menu would be available. When we simply asked for a drink at the bar, we were pressured to order from a menu we had no interest in & told that refusal would mean leaving, & an $80 cancellation fee. Meanwhile, other guests were clearly enjoying drinks at the bar without issue.
I ended up leaving because of the management there's no way I would spend a single dollar on service like this.
Went for their New Year's Eve dinner - took 30 mins to get a cocktail menu, 45 mins to get the first course, 60 for the appetizer, then over 90 for the entree. Left before dessert. More of a cocktail bar than a restaurant in my opinion. Food was good but service was spotty. We saw other tables in the same position as us - even a few that just got up & left. If you plan a New Year's Eve prix fixe dinner - I'd hope you'd plan for it to execute it. Not worth the cost at all
Incroyable nourriture ainsi que le service … impeccable!!! Les employés sont souriants & super gentils !! Je vous recommande vivement de le tester prochainement !!
Excellente expérience chez KAVA.
Service irréprochable & attentionné - mention spéciale à Abdel & à son équipe pour leur professionnalisme & leur gentillesse. Table impeccablement entretenue tout au long du repas, sans même avoir à le demander.
Cuisine remarquable : le tartare de bar, les keftas de boeuf, la pieuvre & les légumes grillés étaient tous absolument délicieux. Très belle carte des vins.
Ambiance élégante & vivante avec DJ & musiciens live les vendredis & samedis.
Une soirée parfaite. Nous reviendrons assurément.
J'ai été souper avec des amis(es) pour ma fête. La nourriture était délicieuse , d'une grande qualité !
Soirée parfaite 🤩
Excellent service de la part de notre serveur Thibaut & toute l'équipe. Les plats était délicieux & les desserts aussi. Je recommande !
Super bel ambiance, & super service, grâce à Nabil. Merci à lui de nous avoir bien accueilli.
Service très décevant.
Nous avons presque été mises à la porte après à peine 2 heures de service, alors que ce délai incluait l'attente pour recevoir nos plats. Notre table était juste devant la porte, on nous a apporté la facture alors que nous mangions encore le dessert, & le gérant est venu nous dire, mot pour mot : « Les filles, il faut partir ».
Le tout pour un repas très cher, avec une viande difficile à mâcher.
Expérience froide & inhumaine, clairement orientée vers le roulement rapide des clients plutôt que le respect. Honnêtement, on est mieux chez soi😐
Nabil, Nabil & NABIL !! Ce gars est fait pour ce métier. Souriant, à l'écoute, classe & pleins d'autres qualités, un gars qui coche toutes les cases. 🙏🏻
L'endroit est parfait pour manger, danser, chanter.
A recommander sans aucune hesitation!!
La soirée s'est bien passé au début. Le service était bien, on a bien manger on a payé notre facture . mais à la fin le responsable où je ne sais pas nous a limite foutu dehors parce qu il y avait une réservation après nous. je comprends mais la manière comment ça été fait c est très insultant & dégradant . On est pas venu manger gratuitement & notre réservation était de 2heure 30 . Au bout de 1:45 il nous a ordonner de partir .
Avec ce service personnellement je ne le recommande pas à part si vous voulez vous faire mettre dehors
Suberbe décor & excellente cuisine. Ambiance festive en fin de soirée.
C'est franchement la pire expérience que j'ai eue dans un resto censé être haut de gamme. Le staff était super impoli & pas du tout aidant. J'étais avec un groupe d'amis proches pour un anniversaire. La bouffe était froide, les assiettes sales & la serveuse était désagréable. En gros : si vous voulez fêter quelque chose, faire plaisir à quelqu'un ou organiser un dîner d'affaires pour impressionner, Kava n'est vraiment PAS l'endroit où aller.
This is by far the worst experience I had in the upper echelon of restauration. The staff was the rudest & is not helpful, was with a group for close friends for a birthday. The food was cold, plates dirty & the server was rude, she made us feel like she was doing us a favour. To put it in short, celebrating a special occasion, want to make a loved one feel special, business dinner to impress some clients, Kava is NOT the place to do that.
Le gerant & le propriétaire sont vraiment gentils. Nourriture & service impeccable.
I made my rsvp on opentable for 6 persons, called the next day to switch it to 8 people & requested we not be on their special menu due to our group's dietary restriction. Take note anything 8 person & above goes to their group menu of 85$ pp. Nabil complied & that was the end of the conversation. At the day of the rsvp, when part of our group got to the restaurant 10 min before the rsvp time, the waitress was quick to point out the table was only good for 2 hours. Then in the same breath came back & said correction, the table is only available for 1.5 hr & the rest of the group better be here soon. What a nice welcome! Wanted us out before even getting there. When I spoke to Nabil who happens to be the manager, his approach was aggressive, rude & unprofessional. His excuse was he mentioned the restriction during our phone conversation. Which is absolutely false! At no point did he mention a time restriction. Even on my opentable rsvp for 8 persons there was no mention of this!! We went back & forth over this. I would never had agreed to a table for a 8 person sit down expensive dinner in one & a half hour time. Moreover Nabil did absolutely nothing to find a solution, no remorse, no apology but rather'a take it or leave it attitude', then walked away with no were to be found. As I was considering our next steps, I also noticed the waiters approaching our two guests already seated & preparing to open bottles of spring water without even asking what type of water we preferred, not to mention if we would be staying or not?Another faux pas! Good thing I quickly noticed & stopped them from opening up anything. Since Nabil the manager was unable to find a solution, I made it for him & decided that our group would be dining elsewhere that night. What was Kava's loss was another restaurant's gain of over 1000$ that night. Furthermore, Nabil cancelled my rsvp on opentable after we left his restaurant & I was unable to leave a bad review. This restaurant is full of questionable practices under this management. Stay AWAY!
