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
Franchement le restaurant est incroyable!! L'accueil est chaleureuse & le service est très agréable. Les plats étaient délicieux, l'ambiance était super & le dj avait assuré!! La soirée c'est passé à merveille, un grand merci à Nabil, le responsable & à Sofia pour son service. Je conseille vivement ce restaurant de qualité ✨
Horrible service, the food that came out the kitchen was cold & stale. The restaurant was empty so I don't understand how that could happen imagine when it's packed! Manager was rude & seemed on something…
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.

Terrible New Year's experience. We were four girls with a reservation booked in advance. 30 minutes before arrival, we were called & told we could only enter with bottle service. On the phone, we explained that four people can't finish a bottle & were told to come in &'talk it through.'
When we arrived around 11:45 PM, management told us our only option was bottle service or they wouldn't host us at all. We agreed, assuming we'd at least get proper seating. Instead, they squeezed a tiny table into a corner with no chairs, expecting us to stand the entire time.
Service was basically nonexistent. The bottle came, the bill came immediately after, & the waitress barely checked on us. She even claimed we had to tip 15% because it was New Year's - not sure where that rule exists. We asked for water & additional drinks & never received them.
Overall, it felt greedy, misleading, & poorly managed. Definitely not worth it. Won't be returning & wouldn't recommend.
