I’m going to try and provide constructive criticism, I really wanted it to be a great place!! Hope they can improve it soon , I invited about 25 people for my birthday , it wasn’t professional at allthe service was very slowThe young lady/ manager was trying but the rest was not good at all.. as we tried to have some birthday music “ ( our singer was Mizrahi “ ) we were shot down in an aggressive way .. we had to leave in very unhappy way( Israeli rock is aloud most of the time so we couldn’t see what is the difference? Need to improve a lot for us to come back againDalia Dunhoff

Cashier at the wine store side of this establishment tipped themselves extra on my transaction without my knowledge.Poor service and nothing close to friendly. Will not be back and reporting the charge to my bank!

The place is pretty cool, food and wine was as expected in Naples. The bartenders were subpar compared to other places I’ve been in Naples, I was there solo and the place wasn’t busy at all and they didn’t do much of anything to stimulate conversation.

Was very skeptical of the spot, bc the trendy feel of the interior felt like they had to be trying too hard for a local spot in a strip mall. But clearly the operation is on point with both a skilled chef and outstanding bar manager with a menu of eclectic cocktails, all with fabulous presentation and clearly skilled mixologists behind the bar. Loved the charcuterie selections which set the stage for casual table sharing while enjoying a drink. The entrees were absolutely perfect, short ribs may have been one of the best renditions I’ve ever tasted. The potato puree was meticulous, the beef was tender, lean and had zero fat. Grouper and tuna poke also well received by our table- rave reviews all around. Dessert was also a surprise, the key lime tart rivaled the famed signature dessert at Continental, and the cappuccino was also delightful. Only complaint (and this would not be shared by the 20’s-30’s patrons) was it was very loud. Hard for us older folks to have a conversation. But all in all it’s ok to have a bustling vibe for a change with exceptional service and fair prices for chef-curated plates that exceed the mundane. Well done, def recommend - do not miss it!

Nice atmosphere, very exceptional waiter. However, the food. I almost laughed at the scallops. Where was the cauliflower? They were fishy tasting. My husband ordered the grouper, first time he had that fish full of bones. Won't go back. Over priced. Portions fit for a child.

The experience was very disappointing! The waiter bragged about the chef and how good he was . He told us how experienced he was and he cooked in Japan and the finest restaurants in NY! We were told to expect an exceptional meal. This was sooo far from the truth!Small portions for a lot of money and there was nothing amazing about any of the dishes. I had a beet salad for $18.00 which was was so small it was ridiculous. My partner had the octopus salad which consisted of 1 small pc and lots of finger potatoesThis place is a rip off for sure and our group of 9 was not happy at all!!

Menu and food quality was fantastic but the portions were rather small. $18 for a beet salad that's only 2 mouthfuls is too small or grossly overpriced.Service is great!

The happy hour food “specials” here are a dismal joke. An insult, really. A 3 dollar oyster is hardly a deal.We accidentally, and severely, over-tipped, to the extent of 40% primarily because their POS UI/UX is so horribly awful that such a mistake is rather easy to make. We realized our mistake post facto and it took a good deal of waiting for what was really a simple rectification — refund the original and rebill.They have a wine shop attached — impressive selection. I wished to purchase a Chilean Pinot Noir, and approached what appeared to be a cashier desk. But, no, this was occupied by none other than their august executive chef, one David Rashty (wearing, by the by, his exec chef monogrammed smock) who entirely ignored my enquiry as to where I might pay for said pinot. The manager, I suppose, who helped with our tipping gaffe, was right there but entirely engaged with someone involved in what appeared to be some pseudo-oenophilic “seminar” with a cheese plate, a pedestrian and paltry assortment of charcuterie, and french fries.This rather fat correspondent, patron or no, was also entirely insensate to our having to negotiate his Rubinesque behind with a wheelchair. In short, both this establishment, and its clientele, amount to nothing more than a boorish blot on society, on decorum, on basic manners, and on wine itself.The cave is noisy. The happy hour wine and martini deals are quite excellent. The food is mediocre, and the price is far from making anyone, save the proprietors, happy.(Note: Food/Service/Atmosphere — Zero stars. Do not bother with this den of muck.)

My spouse and I love going to the Cave. So welcoming and comfortable. I have tried all of their happy hour menu and a few of the normal menu items. They take care in the food preparation and the quality of food. Bartenders are amazing. We would go more often if we were well to do. My spouse is a chef and it is our choice for going out for a great meal.
