Review Summary

Kava offers a stylish and vibrant dining experience in Montreal, frequently praised for its beautiful aesthetic, delicious Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, and energetic atmosphere complete with live DJs. While many patrons highlight the attentive and professional service provided by the staff, a subset of reviews points to inconsistencies in timing and occasional lapses in coordination, particularly during busy periods or special events. Despite some feedback regarding portion sizes, pricing, and sound levels, the majority of visitors find it to be a highly recommended destination for celebrations, dates, or nights out with friends.

Super découverte à MTL ! Les plats étaient délicieux de l'entrée au dessert, on sent la qualité & le soin apporté à chaque assiette.
Le personnel est accueillant & attentif, ce qui rend le moment encore plus agréable.
Je recommande vivement & j'y reviendrai avec plaisir.

We made a reservation for New Year's Eve for 11:45 PM at this restaurant
At 11:30 PM, the restaurant called & told us it was bottle service only. I clearly said we did not want to buy a bottle, & they responded that coming without a bottle was okay.

When we arrived, an employee refused entry without purchasing a bottle & spoke in a rude tone, claiming he was the manager & only his word mattered. The place was completely full, & despite having a reservation, they provided no table or seats. We were four people standing the entire time with nowhere to sit.

Because it was almost midnight, we felt forced to purchase a bottle so our New Year would not be ruined. Even after paying, they did not deliver any bottle service-nothing was filled & no attention was given to our group. The communication was misleading & the staff behavior was disrespectful.

I would not recommend this restaurant unless management improves its honesty & customer care.

Worst experience ever, the drinks were mid, the steak taste like it was frozen, the entire meal felt like I purchased something at frozen at the grocery store.

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

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.
