Cavo

I had a good meal here although nothing was great, besides for the fish, which they did next to nothing to, so if anything the fish gets the credit!  If i had the option i would give this place a 3 1/2 star rating.

I went on a Tuesday night, it was busy but not packed, still a few tables and we did not have to wait.  Very nice large open space, great staff, helpful friendly and professional.  Meal started with warm pita and olive spread which was very good.  For Aps we had the chicken suvlaki, it was not great.  In a tomato and onion sauce, not alot of flavor, kinda a miss.  We also had the Greek spreads: Humus, tzaziki and a feta and red pepper spread.  It was all good, nothing great, the humus was a bit flat, the feta and red pepper spread was a bit intense and not easily spreadable.

For the main course we had the black sea bass, head left on but deboned, very nice fish, very fresh, cooked perfectly.  The spinach on the side was bland, could have used garlic, the same can be said of the potatoes, which were slightly undercooked.  There was a special with sirloin steak over mashed potatoes (with of course a much fancier name, was it 'pureed'?) which came with a 'garnish' (???) of short ribs!  This was alright but misleading, it was not sirloin steak, but a few cuts OF a sirloin steak, my father was disappointing.   The steak it self was ok, not very tender.

Overall not bad, not great, kinda overpriced, but a very nice place that would be perfect on a date.  They have red and white sangria, the White i preferred much more, i think i tasted a hint of peach in it, more like a fruity beverage than a wine drink, but very good, recommended, although it was $10 which is crazy high for basically  1/2 a cup of wine.
