Whatta wonderful treat to be at this fabulous place! Such great classic dishes that you don’t see anymore on menus like King crab legs & all the different types of steaks. The lights are low & the service is impeccable. A gem in the coastal cities of the OC.❤️
I’m from the San Francisco Bay area and have been to La Cave twice now and just love the food and atmosphere! Flew down this past weekend for a friend’s baby shower and of course went back to La Cave! The scampi appetizer is amazing!
We had such a wonderful time visiting this old standby and listening to our friend sing; I hadn't been here in years and it was every bit as good as I remember. I'm not a big steak eater anymore , so I was a little reluctant when we ordered the halibut, but it was outstanding. Such fun and we'll definitely plan on coming back. The staff was all wonderful.
