★★★☆☆ 3.0 Vic L · Dec 2025

We celebrated Thanksgiving at The Cave. The food was delicious! Really enjoyed it. Well done!! The only issue was the service. The server was not good. It was our first time at The Cave. We noticed some people were using the wine dispenser machines. When I asked about it and how it works, he just said “you need a credit card for that” then ran away. I think it would be great if the server actually explain the specialities and how this restaurant works. So we just decided to have 1 drink for the night. We were 3 people and the plates were not coming at the same time. Usually only 2, then wait a few minutes to have someone notice a plate was missing. The 3 course meal was prepaid but when it was time to pay the drinks, the server (who barely speak or explain the menu) didn’t forget to tel

We love The Cave! The food is always excellent and the wines wonderful - truly everything we have had there has been delicious. We love that they go out of their way to offer not just excellent food, service and unique ambiance, but also memorable experiences, including wine dinners and (tonight) a Valentine murder mystery dinner that was so much fun! This is a very special place. Thank you Michele and Sabrina for all you do to ensure a consistently fabulous night out.

This place was amazing. Food was well priced, delicious and very filling—healthy! Loved tasting all the wine using their self serve taps. Brilliant idea! Atmosphere felt like we were in a cave. Clean environment. Waiter was perfect. Couldn’t have been more happy!
