   We truly enjoyed our experience at Prohibition in the Caverns. We were greeted by a very attentive staff person and met the owners. There were individual menus with our names on them. The personal touch was nice and made us feel special. The menu choices were very interesting and everything was delicious. The staff were very attentive and we were well taken acre of. We added wine pairings and were surprised to learn all wines were made on site. They were so good we bought 4 to take home! It is a little pricey for most folks, but it is an experience I highly recommend for a special occasion.

   Sound carries, so it gets a little loud even with a few diners. The food was good and well prepared just not exciting. The service wasn't bad, but if they are going for high end it needs to be a little better. They mixed up our dishes and forgot to return for a missed wine pour until after the course was served. Courses are also not paced very well. There was a decent gap between the first two and then the rest were almost back to back

   What a great experience. This place is one for the "return-to" books. Service was excellent, the food was super intriguing and delightful and something to be experienced. All staff were super helpful and knowledgeable about all the handcrafted dishes and the wines. Being 30 feet below street level was really neat and NO ONE was on their phone because signal was ZERO. That itself makes for a great setting. Since it was a small sized customer group, staggered reservation times, the noise level was perfect. See you again soon.

   I understand that the scoring may not align with your expectations for this dining experience. While several aspects were executed well, including the pleasant seating arrangement and attentive staff, the overall meal did not meet the anticipated level of excitement for its price point. The experience lacked the "wow" factor you may have been hoping for, and I also feel the portion sizes could have been slightly more generous. On a positive note, the staff was exceptional, and it was a nice touch to see the owner personally engage with guests at each table. However, to be completely honest, given the cost, I would hesitate to recommend this establishment.

   I wanted something special/different than our usual dinners out. This definitely delivered. Loved that we had no cell service so there’s no temptation for the mindless phone scrolling. We truly enjoyed our time and experience and the owners coming around was a true treat. You can tell they are passionate about their caverns and it is evident in the experience. Only recommendation we had was for the personalized menus to have the background of the caverns on the back of the menu for guest to read while waiting and an added treasure to keep.

   My parents LOVED their experience at the caverns!$ they had a four course dinner experience. I also informed them that it was my mom’s birthday. She said they made her feel so special! They sent her home with a bunch of little things and the food was really incredible. Definitely would recommend!!

   If you are looking for a unique dining experience, this is it. Located underground, the caverns are stone lined and date to the 1800s. Service was outstanding. Food and wine pairings were very good. Friendly and attentive staff. Since the venue is underground, it can get cool. Recommend wearing layered clothing. Also, can get noisy at times.

    Amazing destination experience! Highly recommended! Everything was on point and what one would expect for that price point. I am usually a came saw, conquered type when it comes to dining experiences, though would definitely consider going back to try a different menu. The oyster course was the only thing we didn’t care for. The oyster was still attached to the shell, and the topping was very oniony, overpowering the oyster completely. The elk dish was to die for, and could have asked seconds or thirds. Really interesting cavern and story. Staff was very practiced, and delightful.
