Cavo Cafe

Love it! I've been there many times (and for many birthdays - including mine! ) Great food (a bit pricey for the quality... but still good food), great drinks, great atmosphere. I love it!!! I am a regular there for sure!!! (Only that they don't know my name, but that's fine lol) Great for dancing, and parties! Pros: Nice ambiance, great for groups Cons: Service is not at its best and the food is a little too $$$$ more

This place is truly great and a lot of fun. Food is delicious, service warm, people are great to look at and always seem energised. My friends and myself love to go to Cavo. It is our favorite place. Fridays and Saturdays, the party is off the hook in terms of music, crowd and energy level. There is always something going on, it's so cool. The garden is just unbelievable. You feel the energy right away, as soon as you walk into this place. Definitely go if you want to hang out along a stylish European crowd, sip on great drinks, listen to great music and just enjoy yourself. Everyone has a fabulous time there. Highly regarded and appreciated by a cool, fun and great looking crowd. Pros: music, food, drinks, garden, people, decor, space more

Was there with a group of 8. We were seated by an oven which brought a wiff of burned bread throughout the night. Half of us didn't get waited on unless we got up and asked for our waiter, we were completely ignored by other waiters. The food was too expensive for what it was (mediocre would be an overstatement) and the drinks are $9.00 or more and not that strong (possibly watered down). The staff walks around like ""a chicken without a head"" , the service was veeeerrrryyyy slow. Save your time and money, go somewhere else. I only gave it one stars because half of hour party was being attended. Pros: Can't Think Of Any Cons: Where do I begin more

We tried to get a reservation five days in advance. They said they wouldn't take a reservation, but we should just come in and they would get us set up as a walk-in. Our party of nine was present and ready to be seated at 9:00. The host, a smug bald guy with a shirt and tie that didn't match, told us our table would be ready in 20-30 minutes. We were seated over two hours later, at 11:15, over my protests that we should just split, get some quarter pounders, and find a bar that doesn't charge $12 for a mediocre cocktail. This, mind you, was after the server spilled a tray of food on the birthday girl. Once we had finally been seated, a friend of ours who was planning on meeting us after dinner for drinks showed up and was turned away at the door for wearing sneakers. Plain, black sneakers. The aforementioned host tried to talk the bouncer into letting him in, but it was no use. Apparently the bouncers operate independently of supervision and control. All in all, we got nothing but lies and attitude all night from everyone we came into contact with, except the server who spilled the food. She was really sweet. They should make her the manager/bouncer supervisor. I wouldn't go back to this place for anything. It's an offense to Greek hospitality. Pros: One nice waitress who spilled all our food. Cons: Every other aspect of a restaurant that could be wrong, is. more

I don't know what the person below is so upset about. Being Greek myself, I can say exactly the opposite. Cavo has always had a healthy amount of Greek and also international clientele. I go there all the time and so do many people I know. It is still the place to be in Astoria and everyone knows that. I can safely bring my friends from Manhattan or business contacts there and be sure that they will have a great time, or just party with my Astorian friends. It is a very successful combination of classy restaurant and hot club. You can have a great dinner and then stay and party all night long at the bar or for bottle service. Every popular place has a door policy and long lines. I don't find Cavo's excessively strict. In fact, I was there this Saturday and had a great time. The music was great, it was packed and the party was going on and on. The bartenders are fun and friendly. There was some guy in the crowd(not Greek), that was a trouble maker, but other than that it was great. I can't wait until the garden opens too. Pros: Hot decor and garden, great food, beautiful crowd, fun Cons: They let in uncool trouble makers sometimes more

This place used to be frequented by Greeks such as myself back when it was a single storefront. Now that it is widely successful and 5 times the size, the people who run the place ignore the Greeks who made it a success. So, on any given Saturday night, if you don't have a female handy, or god forbid, are a single male, the knuckleheads at the door won't let you in.. Sadly pathetic..What is true though is that Greeks don't look out for each other and would throw their own under the bus without blinking. Thanks for nothing guys! Pros: Nice ambience, done-up ladies Cons: Meatheads at the door more

I went to cavo twice and will keep going bak. thew a bday party there as well. the music is great the food is good and i had great service. it was a wonderful experience. the garden is also very beautiful if the the weather is nice. its also very romantic spot for couples Pros: everything Cons: nothing more

what a beautiful place, the back yard/bar is gorgeous never been there to eat just to party and it's great on a Friday or Saturday night I love it and will keep going back :) Pros: beautiful place Cons: no complaints more

I just called to make reservations for 9 people at 630pm on a saturday. The girl on the other side of the phone said ""we don't take reservations for more that 8 people for saturdays"". I said well make it for 8 and she put me on hold. She came back and said, I can make it at 6pm for 8, I asked why 6 and not 630pm, her answer was well there's large reservations for 7pm, I asked, more than 8 people? and she said YES.\r Then she tried fixing it, but it was too late. \r I will post a VERY bad review in every website I can think off!!! Pros: nothing Cons: horrible people working there!! more

We went to Cavo last night with a group of 12 people. We thought we were only coming for a quick dinner and drinks. When we arrived it was seemingly empty, but little by little it filled up. The wait staff was quick and exchanged my friends meal with no questions asked. The food is great. We all shared our dishes and had plenty to go around. Before we knew it, it was midnight and the music was pumping. We were shocked at how great the music was and even more shocked to find a girl DJ playing the music. About 8 of us stayed until closing time just so we could drink more and dance. I know we will all go back for sure. The place looks like a resturant but in actuality its a discotech far better than any Manhattan spot. Pros: DJ Music, food Cons: . more

My first and last time visiting CAVO, i was in CAVO last night, with two of my friends, we decided to get some drinks at the bar, we waited for 30minutes trying to tell the bartender what we wanted to order. The batender was ignoring me and my friends, after getting mad and telling the bartender to get us our order, the bartender told me to RelaX and to calm down. There is no customer service in that place.... Who ever is planing to visit CAVO please make sure to DON'T wear any sandals or slippers it will be to dangerous; After been in cavo for 2 hours, i started dancing with my friends,and while dancing i had to stopped and live the place right away, my friends had to call an ambulance my foot couldn't stop bleeding, i cutted my foot with a glass from a cup that was on cavo's floor. How dangerous is that. The ambulance took me to the hospital, and i had to get 20 snitches in my foot. How fun is it?... after planning a fun night with my friends, i had to end up at the hospital, and also not been able to walk normally for 2 1/2 weeks or more... Thanks to CAVO... !!!.. i will NEVER go back to cavo. ...... Pros: BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Cons: DANGEROUS FLOORS!!! more

Best scene in NY, been to many trendy spots in Manhattan but Cavo seems like another world. Feels like your on european vacation. The crowd is good looking and ambience is stunning! Although, after parking my car, I entered the restaurant and had no idea that it was breathtaking, I thought it was an average size restaurant with a garden but it's not! Its big, and a garden thats perfect for a romantic dinner! Food was delicious, the filet sole was great and chocolate cake was unbelievable! Service was extremely friendly. Actually thinking about doing my husband's birthday party there next month.......Cavo is really nice change from the ordinary! Pros: great food , friendly staff Cons: too busy on saturdays, long lines more

I have just moved to Astoria from the city and I have already been to CAVO many times. People carry themselves very well and in the classy European way; That what makes the place nice. Beautiful men all put together... love that. Nice service and staff. Pros: Beautiful hairy Mediterranean men more

Absolutely gorgeous!! The ambiance and service was amazing. Went there for dinner and was seated in the garden with my friends which was breathtaking. We ordered a bunch of appetizers, the short ribs of beef with the creamy polenta just melted in your mouth and for main course I had the red snapper which was the fish of the day......delicious!!! For the chocolate lovers you should definetely try their warm chocolate cake. Cant wait to go back. more

I live in Astoria and i can say that this place is one of my favoritte.I go there almost once in a week and i even enjoy it more. more

After working late 3 wks in a row, my boyfriend took me out for a nice late-night dinner at Cavo. Not only was the food amazing but the staff doted on us as though they knew I had a rough few weeks. Great food, amazing wine selection, and the live flamenco dancers provided stunning entertainment on a Thursday night. Overall highly recommended. more
