I finally made it back to my favorite eatery back in P. The food is outstanding as always. That said the wait staff was equally as extraordinary. Just when I think this place has dialed it all up to 10… they figure out a new way to make an amazing visit even more special. In my opinion this is the one sure thing that has never never disappointed.

Great brunch. Housed in an old industrial loft style building unit with antiquities all over the room. Drinks and food were great!

The best meal we’ve had in a long time. We love to sit at the bar and meet “new best friends” and had a wonderful experience chatting with our mixologist, Goo and “new friends” Sue and John. The crab cake appetizer, sea scallops & shrimp and the duck confit were all outstanding! To top it all off — creme brûlée.

This is not the kind of place that has trendy new food. This is the kind of place that has been running the same dishes for 20+ years and removed all unknowns from the equation.Amazing spot for filet mignon with gravy on top of French fries on top of mashed potatoes. That feeling you get from a poutine that hits just right, but instead of poutine it’s a mouth watering tender steak. This is your place.I had a bit of an issue with a clueless busser who pretended to understand what we were asking for and then proceeded to not do it. I also received my steak underdone despite asking for medium, so they had to put it in for longer which made some parts a little tough. So be mindful of that.Other dishes are good too, the calimari is local and amazing (big though), and a seafood pasta I don’t remember what it’s called.It’s not as ridiculously expensive as you might think. All in all, you can get a delicious date-night dinner for 2 with two entrees, two drinks, and a shared dessert for ~$100. Not bad at all.

Was a semi-regular in the 90’s and loved it. Recently moved back to Prov and very happy to say that CAV still has “it”. While Sylvie has passed, her son John and his team have kept the standards. Walking in from the courtyard is like walking into an antique shop that happens to serve food - much fun. Many of the waiters have been there for years, decades even, so even if not on a 1st name basis it is fun to get a nod from a familiar face. If the ambience and great service set the table so to speak, the food is the reward. The menu is very farm to table with an international spin. Two thumbs up.

It's a little difficult to find the entrance, as it concaves in a courtyard. This is cozy place. Food variety is amazing, with foreign cuisine being not authentic but amazed to recognize their innovation. A little expensive though.

I was expecting a fine dining experience, but I was disappointed. I ordered the shrimp cannelini with no shrimp. The top of the plate was just all beans. Underneath was the pasta. The dish had no flavor at all. For the price, it's not worth it at all. I could have made the dish at home with flavor and a balance of beans with the pasta, along with some color (maybe parsley or basil). I will not be eating there again.
