Beautiful room... Menu is not in English thought I ordered scallops but I got raw cold scallops that smelled like fish... Sent it back. Instead got a cheeseburger dripping in mayonnaise... Yuck

It was our anniversary dinner but the music was young thumping dance music not music fitting dinner or the beautiful room like piano jazz or something conducive to conversation...

The menu is not similar to a French brasserie... They need to work on a new menu

Everything was fantastic!! My cocktail, appetizer and dinner ……amazing. My waitress added another layer of perfection. Merci💕

My husband and I are fortunate to be able to visit and eat in a lot of different cities, and when we're in Wilmington we go to Le Cav ... we have never been disappointed. Delicious food and cocktails, very good service, beautiful space. It's pricy but worth it. If you are in a rush, don't go. (I've seen mention about the valet, etc. in other posts ... keep in mind that the restaurant is attached to a hotel so the valet, bathrooms, etc. could quite possibly be the responsibility...read full review
