Octopus was tender, but more potato than octopus. Pork belly was awful- gray and rubbery, thinly sliced kind of like scalloped chicken instead of a crispy chunk. Also on a bed of potatoes. Harissa and feta are fantastic, excellent pita. Anything with lamb was great, nice and spicy. Wish we had been warned the dishes are dinner sized not mezze, we ordered two per person and it was way too much food. Also it was all served at once, not like tapas, felt very very rushed. I asked our server to slow it down and he said he couldn’t. Restaurant has stone and tile everywhere, it is LOUD.

Only complaint is that we ordered one chicken dish that was huge so we had way too much food. They should tell you when you’re at a tapas type restaurant that a dish is that generous! Overall the food was great. Spanakopita is the best around

We highly recommend the Scallops over a safron risotto, Spicy Lamb Sliders and Chicken Souvlaki paired with the Malbec from Argentina. Our Server Camille who was both knowledgeable & charming. She helped to Make our evening most delightful. Being a former restauranteur I couldn’t help but notice that the Manager was welcoming & hard working. Give yourselves a well deserved Treat by visiting Cava Mezze. Be sure to make a reservation because the word is out. The place was full.
