Cava Mezze in Olney is halfway between our kid's home in Columbia and our sister's home in Bethesda. So it is great for convenience. There might be other options in Olney . . . but we always select Cava Mezze for the great food and outstanding service. This visit, we were spoiled by Christian. Each of his recommendations was spot-on - and he was consistently pleasant, professional and incredibly attentive. (and he is quite the photographer) And do yourself a favor - save room for dessert! The French Toast and the special (some chocolate/nut cookie bar) are spectacular!

We love the place. We have been coming here on occasion for over 20 years now. They have renovated a bit since our last visit, and I preferred the old vibe but the new is really nice. I just have a place in my heart for the darker feel it had in the past.
